ABOUT THIS BOOK Angela Carson wants nothing more than to be the third-generation to run her family’s holiday store, Heart of Christmas, successfully. They’ve weathered over sixty tourist seasons, major hurricanes, and urban sprawl, in their old decommissioned lighthouse. But the national chain that set up shop in their small North Carolina town of Pleasant Sands may be more than Heart of Christmas can survive. Geoff Paisley has been at his mother’s side running the mega-chain Christmas Galore for the last ten years. When his mother falls ill, Geoff promises to answer the town’s Dear Santa letters in her stead. Soon he realizes the woman he’s been corresponding with on Dear Santa is Angela. How could the woman that grates his every last nerve in person have intrigued him so deeply through those letters? Encouraged by her niece to ask Santa for help, Angela gives in and lets the words fly in a way that, if Santa were real, would no doubt land her on the naughty list. What’s the harm when it’s just a computer-generated response? When Geoff reveals that he’s her Dear Santa, will Angela be able to set aside their very public feud to embrace the magic of the holiday and possibly find true love? MY REVIEW DEAR SANTA by Nancy Naigle is like a Hallmark movie in book form and will warm your heart. Angela Carson believes in family legacy and will do whatever it takes to keep her special shop, Heart of Christmas, open. But things are on the decline and with a new Christmas superstore open in town, her sales just seem to be getting worse. Determined to make her grandmother proud, Angela is ready to fight, even if that means ignoring the attraction that seems to spark between her and her new arch-enemy, Geoff. Maybe her niece's idea of emailing Santa for help isn't such a bad one ... While a little bit slow in pace for me, I did really enjoy the characters and setting of DEAR SANTA by Nancy Naigle. Angela was abandoned by her dad after her mum died and refuses to abandon the store which was such a huge part of her life and her bond with her grandmother. It was great to see Angela grow as a character and take a look at her life and figure out what she really wants and needs to be fulfilled. Geoff and his mother are great characters too and I enjoyed their dynamic and seeing Geoff open his eyes to the fact that there is more to life than working all the time. If you enjoy very sweet, small-town Christmas romances, then DEAR SANTA by Nancy Naigle is the book for you.
