I was slow to warm up to Jennifer Beckstrand’s Huckleberry Hill series. Beckstrand was a new author to me when I read Book One (Huckleberry Hill), I was amused, but not sold. When Huckleberry Summer came out I was cautious, but found there was no need to be. I was now invested in the characters of Huckleberry Hill. So when Huckleberry Christmas arrived (my first Christmas novel of the season!), I was ready. Let me go ahead and say it now: Jennifer Beckstrand hits this one out of the park!
In Huckleberry Christmas, Anna Helmuth is up to her matchmaking schemes again. This time it’s for her great-granddaughter Beth. Beth is a young widow with a sweet toddler boy. After a less than enviable marriage, Beth has vowed to never be married again. But her great-grandmother thinks she has the perfect match for Beth: Tyler Yoder, the jilted love from Huckleberry Summer, who is kind to a fault. Can Tyler break down the walls that Beth has built around her heart? Can Beth ever be rid of her very painful past? Read and find out!
I was given Huckleberry Christmas in exchange for my honest review. I thought it was great. There was even a scene that practically had me cheering out loud! The characters are well-rounded and Beckstrand does an excellent job of keeping the reader’s attention to the very last. Huckleberry Christmas could be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend that readers read at least Huckleberry Summer first before delving into Huckleberry Christmas to give continuity. Again, not a necessity, but my recommendation. Regardless, start your Christmas reading season right and grab a copy of Huckleberry Christmas!

Anna the Match maker must be quite up in years if her great grand daughter Beth had a toddler. This baby would be her great great grand child. Huckle Berry Christmas sounds like a good read by your recommendations. I would want to read the other books in the series before this one. Thanks for the great review on this book.
Blessings

Susan,
Your review just made my day! And, oh, how I needed it today! I am thrilled you enjoyed Huckleberry Christmas. In Huckleberry Summer, Tyler Yoder was such a nice guy that I just had to give him his own happily ever after.
Thanks for your kind words and God bless!
