Welcome to Winterwood… a small town with more heart than people!

To make her plan a reality, Grace must convince her small-town community to get on board and help her bring her vision to life. Along the way, she meets a diverse group of people who all have their own issues and struggles, but they come together at the inn to celebrate the holiday season and find hope and joy in the midst of their challenges.

REVIEW:
5 stars!

Sweet and satisfying Christmas-themed feel-good story!

Countdown to Christmas is the first book in author Dianna Houx’s holiday-themed sweet romance series, Holiday Countdown, and it is a perfect story to indulge in during the hectic run-up to Christmas. With its engaging main character and her heartfelt goal of making this probably last Christmas with her ailing, aged grandmother memorable, this sweet story is enjoyable, endearing, and one you will also want to remember. 

Grace Parker is the young, determined heroine of this often emotional story. She devises an ambitious plan to recreate the Christmases of her grandmother’s childhood and convinces her small town to help her make it a reality in less than a month. As part of this, she opens her home to paying guests for a traditional Christmas experience and thus draws in five different bookings: two families and three singles. Each of the five has a special story that brings additional dimensions to the main plot, including a love interest for Grace. 

The guests are treated to a variety of traditional Christmas and winter activities, all ending with everyone gathered around a cozy living room fireplace, with warm drinks and the unexpected arrival of Christmas puppies. The story is filled with second chances, friendships, and new beginnings. 

I recommend COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS to romance readers, especially those who enjoy Christmas tales.
