oh this sounded like such a magical place to visit, I would definitely take a Silver Bells Luxury tour. A great addition to the series. Such a loving and heartwarming small town romance.

Who doesn't love a sweet Christmas romance?

Faith loves Christmas mountain, its her home and she built a family for herself here. When Adam, her new boss comes to town to sell the business, Faith faces multiple challenges head on. But like the author says, "something's are just meant to survive".

I love the fact that the protagonists didn't have a grand misunderstanding. There were challenges but these were resolved quickly and with civility. Both the protagonists were given strong backstories, making the more compelling and realistic. The side characters were fun and entertaining, and moved the story along well.

This book is part of a series but I read it as a standalone and didn't find and issues with it.

A beautiful story about finding a way back home.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley and all opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful read with the magic of Christmas entwined. Slow business and the death of owner adds sadness to sale of silver bells. Can they save this tradition? You'll love reading and finding out.

Manhattanite Adam returns to his hometown to sell his late father’s Christmas themed business. He wants to use the proceeds to buy a partnership in the marketing firm he works for in New York. As far as he is concerned the faster a sale goes through the better.

Faith has managed Adam’s late father’s business for the past year. She and the other employees love the business and are determined to convince Adam to takeover his father’s business himself.

Can dedicated city-dweller, Adam, and reformed former city-dweller, Faith, find a compromise and maybe even love?

This is an incredibly sweet, and often funny holiday tale!

I love Christmas romance books. 'Twas the Kiss Before Christmas by Susan Hatler is one I really loved. The characters are all very likeable. Well, except for Viles. I especially liked meeting Faith and Adam and reading along as they found their HEA. One big plus for this story is that there are a lot of Christmas events described in it. That made me feel part of the Christmas experience. This was a fun read!

When the magic of Christmas comes to life anything is possible. In this sweet romance that magic is tested when it comes to a heart that doesn’t believe in the spirit of Christmas. “‘Twas a Kiss Before Christmas” was an easy read that left me wanting to read the other books in the series

I got the book, had to stop reading the book I was reading to read this one. Glad I did. Like most of Susan Hatler’s books, this is a warmhearting, fun, easy, cute read. This book another in the series about the friendship of seven women who grew up together in the small town of Christmas Mountain, Montana. After years of going their own ways their school choir teacher, Ms. King asks them to return home to sing in a Christmas festival. Each book in the series is about one of the women. So far, this and previous story have been insightful. I recommend as a quick and enjoyable book.

The story of Faith and Adam. She just wants to save the Silver Bells resort. Adam has jsut inherited the resort from his father and jsut wants to sell it. Can Faith convince him to give it a chance?

A festive read

‘TWAS THE KISS BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a charming, funny, and poignant romance between a woman who has found her place and a man who allows regrets to dictate his future. Falling in love can be easy once you let the past go.

Faith loves her town, the mountains, the holiday feel all the time, even the, sometimes, quirky residents cannot dim the light on her enjoyment of Christmas Mountain. In fact, part of her job is to show tourists the beauty of her town and the surrounding area. Now, that future may be in danger as Adam has returned to town after his father’s death with the plan of selling fast and getting out of town even faster. Faith needs to concentrate on convincing Adam not to sell – and not on her attraction to the, at times, annoying man.

I’ve always enjoyed Susan Hatler’s romance, she delivers not only a touching love story but a few life lessons, subtly given, to be learned along the way as well. Adam has some serious regrets regarding his relationship with his dad that now are only going to be lingering regrets – unless he learns to accept and let go of the past. And perhaps keep his father’s legacy alive through what he loved. Watching Adam heal from the past and embrace his love for Faith was a lovely, heartfelt journey – and I loved every moment of it.

If you love getting caught up in the Christmas Spirit, even a bit early, and a really good, realistic love story then you need to pick up ‘TWAS THE KISS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, now.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

What more could you want? A Susan Hatler book and a Christmas book on top of that!! Day made for sure. I love how each one of Susan's books leaves me with that warm, giddy feeling inside. I am always sad when these books come to an end because I could read them forever. They way Susan Hatler writes makes you feel a part of the daily lives of these characters. They are your friends and as you get to know them more, it feels like they become family!

Faith is the manager of Silver Bells Luxury Tours. When the owner passes away and things are left to his son, Adam, to make decisions about the business, Faith is not so sure that things are going to work out for Silver Bells. Silver Bells has been Faith's life for the time that she has worked there and has no clue what she would do if Adam ends up selling the business like there are talks of. Adam lives in New York and when he comes for a visit to see what all needs to be done to get the business in order, Faith is determined to show Adam why he can't close Silver Bells.

Adam has always been amazed at how his father kept his business open and how he made ends meet with it, but when he decides that he needs to sell the business in order to get money for a partnership he wants, he never dreamed that he might fall in love with Silver Bells himself. There is so much more to it than Adam could ever imagine.

Faith and Adam hit it off of course and that makes it even harder on Adam to choose what he wants to do with the business. There are several potential buyers, but no one is set on it just yet. Adam and Faith get to experience some of the special moments everyone loves Silver Bells for, but Adam is still not convinced it is for him.

What will happen to Silver Bells as well as Adam and Faith? Do you believe in the magic of the season? You will have to read this one and find out what the outcome is. Such a great read that you too will be sad ends when you come to the closing of the book. I love these characters and want more of them for sure!

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book! Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for and advanced copy of this book! Highly recommend!!

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Faith is the manager Silver Bells and loves everything about christmas. When the owner dies and his son who inherits the business wants to sell to become a partner in a PR business in New York, Faith tries to show him the magic of Silver Bells in hope that he decides to keep business. Can she stop him from selling Silver Bells and it being turned into a luxury spa resort?

Brilliant Xmas read.

Faith loves her job and is horrified when, after her boss dies, his son walks in and informs them all that the business is being sold. Can she convince him to change his mind? And is there any future in the sparks between them?

To be honest, this felt a bit cliched going in - a bit too much like another of her books that I read recently with someone trying to close down a Christmas thing (no, I can't remember what the title was). But though it started me off on the wrong foot, it still drew me in and made me want to keep reading - and turned out to head in quite a different direction. In the end, I loved the ending - it was very satisfying, perhaps all the more because it had seemed impossible only pages before. All in all, some interesting characters, an intriguing backdrop and some fun dialogue. An enjoyable and clean light read.

Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book.

‘‘Twas the Kiss is an endless and well written Christmas romance. I throughly enjoyed the plot and characters. If you are looking for a good holiday read I recommend this book. I received an arc from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.
