On Christmas Eve - Cape Light

Product Review

The loveliest gift of the year-the new Christmas novel set in the beloved town

Lucy and Charlie's relationship has been on the rocks, but just as Lucy's about to call it quits, a runaway teenager crosses her path. It turns out this girl has been shuffled from home to home and has decided to make her own destiny-landing in Cape Light. Lucy takes her in despite Charlie's protests. This could be the thing that makes or breaks their frayed relationship...

With a grown son embarking on his own life, and an ex-husband starting a new family, Betty realizes it's time to find a partner of her own. Then Santa bears an unexpected gift at the Rotary Club's Christmas party: himself. Beyond the red suit and the padding, she notices a twinkle in his eye. Has the holiday cheer gone to her head, or is she really attracted to a struggling magazine writer who plays dress-up? But things aren't always as they seem, especially in Cape Light-and unless Betty realizes that good things come in different packages, she risks Santa passing over her this Christmas.

This review is from: On Christmas Eve (Cape Light) (Hardcover)

`On Christmas Eve' is the 11th in the Thomas Kinkade series of Cape Light books . One nice thing, is that you do not have to have read the entire sequence of books to enjoy or understand this one. However, Cape Light is such a welcoming, comforting place that you should read the series. They are a sweet soothing read, especially for the holidays.
The people in the town have problems and faults, but they are, for the most part good and they act in a realistic manner. As the story progresses, bits of background and information are slipped into the story line to let a new reader, or remind a former reader who the characters are and what has happened before. The surroundings and even the smells are well described, so that you are drawn into the story, not just by the people but by the setting around them.

This new novel deals with two main stories, a runaway and a wife of the town curmudgeon who wants to take her in; and a divorced woman who might find romance. I wish...Read more

The Cape Light series is wonderful and makes for great holiday reading. It is nice to read something to put you in the holiday spirit and you can relate to the story from your own life experiences.

I loved this book, along with all books, written by Thomas Kinkade! I read and enjoyed them faster than they can write the books! My husband bought me 11 books in the series and in 6 months, I have all 12 of them read and waiting for the next one to come out in the Cape Light series. It is a wonderful Christian fiction series of books, and when I finished each one, I could hardly wait to start the next book in the series.
