Synopsis:
New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods takes you back to Chesapeake Shores for another heartwarming holiday season

As the only child of a single mom, Jenny Collins wanted nothing more than to be part of a large, rambunctious family like the O'Briens. Ironically, though, when her mother married into that family, Jenny found herself feeling more like an outsider than ever.

Now, after years in Nashville as an established songwriter, Jenny's drawn back to Chesapeake Shores to collaborate on a Christmas production...and to make peace with the past. As if that's not challenging enough, Caleb Green, the singer who broke her heart, has followed her to town, determined to win her back.

With the help of a little O'Brien holiday magic, will Jenny and Caleb find a way to make sweet music forever?

My Review:
I have such a special place in my heart for Sherryl Woods and definitely for her Chesapeake Shores series, so I can't help but run out and get each newest release, and that was no different with A Seaside Christmas.

Woods is by far my favorite go-to author when I need a good sweet, pick-me-up story, and she never fails to deliver, which she did once again with this book! Sherryl Woods is absolutely the first author I run to for comfort reads! This book was absolutely beautifully written! Woods has found the perfect delicate balance for the romance, not overpowering the story, but by adding just the right amount to keep you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Her writing helps you to maintain your believe that there is happy love out there, and she does a great job of not over romanticizing life, relationships and their struggles.

I love the characters of this series and the great family bond that they all share. Her characters are realistic and human, and I appreciate that! It was good to hear about Jenny, who we've only vaguely read about previously, and get a glimpse into her life now, as an adult!

The story flowed together nicely, and made for a nice, easy, enjoyable reading session! It left me feeling the need for more of the O'Brien family, and I can't wait to see what else Ms. Woods comes up with for the family! She always does such a great job at distinguishing each book from each other but yet intertwining it altogether as she goes! Sherryl Woods is definitely the best at what she does, no question about it!

I am never disappointed after reading one of Sherryl Woods books, and A Seaside Christmas was no different. As always, it has left me with an undying crave for more, so I'll be holding my breath waiting for the next Chesapeake Shores release!
