There is mischief afoot on Candy Cane Lane. The holiday has made it's way to this magical town again. Sheila Roberts put her best foot forward with Christmas on Candy Cane Lane. The characters are charming and the setting is picturesque. There is something for every lover of books. Tilda is thrust into a world of family and traditions while working to sort out her love life. There is romance, drama and amusement in every chapter. I received an ARC of Christmas on Candy Cane Lane in exchange for an honest review. This story embodies the wonder of the holiday season.

DNF at 24%. It wasn't particularly boring or anything, but I just had no inclination to finish it. The characters weren't particularly engaging, and if I don't care about them by a quarter of the way through, then it's hard to keep going.

After the flop of the last book in this series, I was glad to see Roberts return to the true spirit of this series - friends, family, town togetherness and romance. All the boxes are hit here and Tilda gets her romance. Ivy and Maddy tell their stories as well and in the end we all get a HEA. Loved this one.

Overall, this book was a really enjoyable read. It was a little slow in the middle of the story but the more I read it, the more I really enjoyed it. The ending really was wonderful. If you’re looking for a simple, happy, feel-good book, give this one a try

A great holiday read from Sheila Roberts. This one took me a little longer to get into than other books by Roberts, however, she creates characters that you have to fall in love with. This one was a little predictable, but was still enjoyable.

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. Thank you to the author Sheila Roberts, the publisher and Goodreads. I liked this book, it was a fun, feel good read. It was just in time to put you in the Christmas spirit.

I enjoy not having to be so formal in reviews when I'm not doing them for an ARC.

I was just expecting a light, cute story going into this one, so I wasn't completely off base with my expectations. I just didn't enjoy the story that much.

The adults were kind but had inner dialect that was a bit irritating. One was literally thinking about her underwear half the time, another one had a habit of internally singing Christmas songs that she had changed the lyrics to.

The kids in the book were kind of bratty too.

It also seemed like the women in the book were blamed for anything that went wrong. One had an ex husband that left her and she felt guilty thinking she's pushed him away, when he wanted her back she felt bad because her daughter was constantly asking her to let her daddy come home.

I noticed after the fact that this book is the 8th in a series. I imagine this book would be more enjoyable to someone who knows the characters better.

I liked Devon Black and I thought their decorations sounded cute. But I just couldn't get into this one otherwise.
