Huckleberry Christmas – Yule Love It! a review by Susan Ferrell

Posted Michelle Dawn

Huckleberry ChristmasI 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!
