A Wish for Winter

Themes of grief, forgiveness, hope, love and family abound in this sweet book by Viola Shipman. I've enjoyed several of this author's books and was looking forward to this one.
Susan Norcross lost her parents when she was fourteen. Their car was hit by a drunk driver. Susan was raised by her wonderful grandparents. Susan is now 40 years old, single, and runs the bookstore in a small town. She wants to meet her "Single Kringle" just like her parents and grandparents did and have a wonderful companion to share her life with. Both her mother and grandmother met men who were dressed as Santa Claus and married them and lived happily ever after. Susan wants that for herself.
This book was filled with a love of Christmas by Susan and her entire family. It's definitely an appropriate holiday read. Finding the "Single Kringle" was a fun journey. I did find the book kind of repetitive though and thought it could have been much shorter - but overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it as a light, Christmas read.
Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Graydon House through Netgalley for an advance copy. This book will be published on November 15, 2022.

I feel exactly the same about it being repetitive. I started to get bored and it dragged on way too long with not much happening that really contributing to the story.

I agree. It was mostly a contemporary romance and neither are my favorites. I enjoyed his earlier books much more.
I liked the story but almost felt like there was a required number of words and the author had to fill that requirement. It was so repetitive and could’ve been much shorter. But the story itself was good. This was my second to read by this author and I enjoyed the other one more. I’ll still keep reading his books though!
I agree with all the comments here. I did enjoy the book but was getting bored by the constant repetition that I was skipping pages.
