Kelley has been running the Winter Street Inn on Nantucket for years, but lately it’s really been struggling. He knows he needs to do something about it, but for now he looks forward to the Inn’s annual Christmas party and spending time with his family.
And then he sees Mitzi kissing Santa Claus. Mitzi is his second wife; Santa is actually George, the man who’s been playing Santa for their party for years.
The end of his marriage doesn’t quite put Kelley in the holiday spirit. Couple that with crises being experienced by his three older children and his youngest son, Bart (his only child with Mitzi), unreachable in Afghanistan, and there are few “Ho Ho Hos” to be found. Can Margaret, Kelley’s first wife and a famous news anchor, sweep in and save the day?
I’m a fan of many of Hilderbrand’s books and I’ve been looking forward to starting this series for a while. This was emotional and fun but just a bit too melodramatic and stuffed full of chaos. Every character had at least one issue to deal with, and none of them were simple, either.
I’ll still read the rest of the series because I love the way she writes and I love Nantucket as a setting. For those of you who have read the series, is every book as dramatic?
