Christmas Charms

She never dreamed her holiday would include her hometown, a dog, or a firefighter. But a mysterious charm bracelet predicted it all…
 
Ashley’s supposed to be having the Christmas of her dreams. After four years of working at an upscale jewelry store in Manhattan, she’s finally going to get a little velvet box of her own―from her boyfriend Jeremy, who’s taking her on a romantic trip to Paris. What could go wrong?

Well, everything.

Ashley heads home to Owl Lake instead, falling asleep on the train ride there…and waking up with a beautiful antique charm bracelet on her wrist. Soon, she realizes that each silver charm predicts an event that happens in real life. What does this mean for her and Jeremy…or her and Aidan, her former high school boyfriend, who’s now a local firefighter? Is there still a chance that she could have the perfect Christmas?

This small town Christmas romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Spiced Walnut Crust Cookies with Chocolate Ganache and Sea Salt.

"Christmas Charms is about finding the magic that's been with you all along and adding a little extra for good measure. It's a deliciously adorable Christmas escape that will have you rooting for Ashley and frantically turning pages to see what her hometown of Owl Lake has in store for her. A lovely Christmas treat!" -USA Today bestselling author Jenny Hale

MY REVIEW: With a jingle, a jangle, a silvery tinkle, and a sprinkle of holiday magic, author Teri Wilson offers readers a yuletide treat in "Christmas Charms", a heartwarming contemporary romance. Ashley James is living the dream life in Manhattan--a far cry from her small hometown of Owl Lake in upstate New York. Working at elite Windsor Jewelers, sharing an apartment with her friend and coworker, Maya, and dating handsome Jeremy--who also works at Windsor's--what more could a girl want? A few things about her relationship with Jeremy niggle at Ashley, but with their upcoming holiday trip to Paris to see his family, and the expectation of a proposal, Ashley puts her doubts aside. However, when things go wrong, and there is no engagement, and no trip to Paris, Ashley heads back home  for the first time in a long, long time. On the train ride to Owl Lake, Ashley meets Betty, a kindly older lady with busy knitting needles and a fascinating charm bracelet. Ashley dozes off, and when she awakes at the train station, Betty is gone, but she has gifted Ashley with a hand-knit Christmas stocking containing the charm bracelet. Ashley's parents are happily surprised to see her, but mysterious things begin to happen connected to each of the charms on the bracelet--including a lovable dog who "adopts" Ashley. Then there's Aidan Flynn--handsome firefighter and Ashley's former sweetheart. Ashley had broken Aidan's heart when she turned down his early marriage proposal and moved to the "big city". It's now ten years later, and the feelings between them are still there, but have too many changes occurred, and has too much time gone by for them to find a happy second chance together? If you love captivating contemporary holiday romance that tugs at your heart and makes you believe in the magic of the season, then you will greatly enjoy "Christmas Charms" from talented storyteller Teri Wilson.
