Christmas At Holly Hill by Martha RogersMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
CHRISTMAS AT HOLLY HILL, though predictable, was a sweet story that draws you into the holiday season.
After five years in prison, Clayton Barlow returns to his hometown of Prairie Grove. Getting a cool reception from the townspeople, Clayton realizes he needs to prove he is no longer the rebellious teen who fell in with the wrong crowd. When he recognizes Merry Warner, his childhood friend, he imagines what life would be like with such an exceptional woman at his side. But he puts his daydreams aside not wanting to taint Merry’s reputation.
Merry Warner has always had a crush on Clayton Barlow. Having him back in town allows her to think that maybe they could become more than friends. But with Clayton showing little interest in her, she realizes she might just be pining for something that isn’t there.
A turn of events in town has the citizens of Prairie Grove suspecting Clayton of falling back into his criminal ways. Once the truth of Clayton’s ways are revealed, will the townspeople be willing to forgive him his past?
I enjoyed CHRISTMAS AT HOLLY HILL. It was a sweet story. Even though it had a predictable storyline, I still enjoyed the journey. There were a few places I feel the author could’ve heightened the tension and added more drama. But all in all, a nice story to usher in the holiday spirit.
