- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015It has been quite awhile since a Castle Mountain Lodge novel has been written. And what an absolute em this one was!! In fact, it easily is one of my top three in the series.
Combining the magic of the Lodge when it come to love, the good intentions of a daughter, believing in the power of and joy of Christmas, and the work of Santa Clause, Julie and Ryan find the!selves falling in love over the holiday.
This love story brings back some of the favorite characters from stories past while introducing several new characters. It also leads to future Castle Mountain Lodge books with a newly engaged couple and the successful long distance relationship, thus far, between Ryan and Julie.
A truly wonderful read for the holiday and anytime. A great addition to the series not to be missed.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2015Elena Aitken has written yet another wonderful story for Christmas. Castle Mountain Lodge is the setting for unexpected love for Julie and Ryan. He has begun to feel that he will never find The One who will fill his heart and life with love until he meets Julie. Julie and her sixteen year old daughter are at the lodge putting on a seasonal craft retreat. Julie has never sought out love because she has been too busy building a business and providing for Shay. Julie and Ryan find something wonderful between them until a conversation with Shay turns Julie away. It will take a miracle from Santa to fix things.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023Some believe in Santa. Some believe in love at first sight. While some don't know what to believe. Julie realized she was the cause of being alone for so long and Ryan ........ well you just have to read this cute story that happens at Castle Mountain Lodge. Snow, sleigh rides, and plenty of hot chocolate. No cheating or cliffhanger and the story ends on a happy note. Enjoy 🤓
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019Elena Aitken has another winner with "Holiday Gifts!" This is a short story, around 126 pages, though it reads like a full-length novel. Ms. Aitken has written a beautiful love story about finding love at first glance. There's something special in the air at Castle Mountain Lodge. Does the lodge bring lovers together? Pick up, or download, a copy of "Holiday Gifts" and grab a cuppa of coffee or hot chcolate and enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020Another great book in this series! Every book that I have read by this author is awesome! I loved this one, couldn't put it down!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2016Ever since Ryan Morrison has taken over as Customer Service Manager at the famous Castle Mountain Lodge he’s witnessed the ‘magic of the Lodge’ and couples of all kinds falling in love around him. Ryan is convinced it won’t ever happen for him. For Jlie Pitts her number one focus has always been raising sixteen-year-old Shay. Julie would do anything for her daughter, including organizing a special Christmas crafting retreat at Castle Mountain Lodge as a way for them to spend the holidays in the mountains the way her daughter has always wanted. Shay wants love for her mother and is not afraid to help Ryan along. Julie is set against any relationship and she backs away at the slightest whisper of assistance from Shay. This is the clean version.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2017Juile and her daughter are going to have the best Christmas ever. After the craft session she was giving, they would do lots of things together. Ryan has to fix audio in room and meets Juile. Then the magic begins. Wonderful Christmas Story. Know you will enjoy it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020This was a cute Christmas romance that reminds you of all the magic of the holiday. Another fun HEA story.
