Unexpected Gifts by Tess Thompson

 

 
 

Synopsis:

 

Abigail Parker just wants to get through the holidays, but fate has other plans...

After a year of unexpected twists, Abigail finds herself in the small town of Sugarville Grove, Vermont, as the guardian of her late cousin’s two young children. Leaving behind her bustling city life and dream job at a veterinary practice, Abigail’s only goal is to adjust to her new responsibilities and figure out how to be the mother they need. Falling for her rugged, no-nonsense neighbor is definitely not part of the plan.

Luke Hayes has his hands full raising his lively four-year-old daughter, Lily, while managing his family’s maple syrup farm. With his heart still scarred from being abandoned by Lily’s mother, Luke has sworn off romance. But when a broken fence and a mischievous dog bring Abigail into his life, he starts to wonder if maybe love isn’t as far out of reach as he thought.

As the holiday lights sparkle and the snow falls, Abigail and Luke find themselves drawn together, despite their differences. But with Abigail adjusting to her new life and Luke determined to protect his heart, it will take more than a little Christmas magic to bring them together.

 

Review: 


 
Unexpected Gifts was a nice and heartwarming story, that conveys a positive message of family and community.

Abby moves to Sugarville Grove to take care of her cousin's kids after her unexpected death. Here she begins a long journey to adapt to her new life as a mother of two, fortunately she won't be alone because the neighbours will help her.

I enjoyed Abby and Luke relationship development. There is an instant complicity between them, but they decide to take their time to explore their feelings in order to give their children the best and the most peaceful Christmas they can.

Tess Thompson writing has touched me, I cried and I smiled along with the characters. I appreciated that the mentioning of the faith wasn't too intrusive but still hopeful.

I recommend to pick this book and to be transported to this pictoresque small town.
