REVIEW: Christmas Ever After by Karen Schaler

Christmas Ever After by Karen Schaler: Get ready for an explosion of Christmas cheer! Christmas
Ever After is an abundantly fun and heartwarming Christmas romance.

This story is chock full of Christmas. Best-selling author Riley Reynolds’ last book didn’t sell as well as her previous books. Something is missing. Her publisher and agent task her with writing a Christmas romance next, which is a very popular sub-genre in the industry. The only problem is Riley doesn’t celebrate Christmas and has no clue what to write. She’s scheduled to do a Christmas Camp for her readers at the beautiful Christmas Tree Lake Lodge. She is expecting to have the whole agenda all set up for her but son of the owner, Luke Larchmont wants her input. That could be trouble since she has no Christmas traditions to share.

I loved reading about all the the special Christmas activities at the Christmas Camp. There’s learning about the Christmas Lake Angel, the Christmas Lake Christmas Tree, baking Christmas cookies, special hot chocolate, an ugly Christmas sweater pageant and the Christmas ball. Riley has three romantic dates with her three ex-boyfriends who are trying to win her back. But Riley realizes she needs to look forward and sees Luke Larchmont in that future, the guy who has reintroduced her to a love of Christmas. Kudos to Comet, the dog who was always there to save the day. I loved this story!

From Karen Schaler, the writer of the Netflix phenomenon A Christmas Prince and Hallmark’s Christmas Camp comes this new heartwarming holiday romance. Mamma Mia meets The Bachelorette in Christmas Ever After…

While promoting her next novel, a Christmas love story, author Riley Reynolds is caught off guard when she’s asked during a live national television interview how she can write about romance when she still hasn’t found “the one” herself. Scrambling for an answer, she quickly answers that she has had great love in her past and that love inspired her novels.

Little does she know that this one offhanded remark will turn her world upside down. Three of her ex-boyfriends see the interview, and each, believing she’s talking about him, shows up for her Christmas Camp book event at the Christmas Lake Lodge, determined to rewrite his happily-ever-after with her!

Over the festive weekend, Riley’s old boyfriends compete to win her heart, pulling out all the stops while planning the most romantic Christmas dates on the planet. Despite herself, Riley starts falling for each guy— again—but for different reasons. As Riley revisits each relationship and discovers more about herself, she embraces the magic of Christmas and finally finds true love and her own Christmas ever after…
