Christmas In Harmony Harbor by Debbie Mason | Book Review

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Debbie Macomber will love this USA Today bestselling author's latest holiday romance about enemies-to-lovers who fall for each other in a small Massachusetts coastal town.
Three Christmas wishes. Two total opposites. One magical holiday.
It's Evangeline Christmas's favorite time of the year, but instead of wrapping presents and decking the halls, she's worrying about saving her year-round holiday shop from powerful real estate developer Caine Elliot. Although the town has rallied around Evie, her attempts to stop Caine have been in vain. Now she's risking everything on an unusual proposition she hopes the wickedly handsome CEO can't refuse... How hard can it be to fulfill three wishes from the Angel Tree in Evie's shop? Caine's certain he'll win and the property will be his by Christmas Eve. Yet bringing joy to others also brings back the biggest disappointments in Caine's own holidays past and challenges him to forgive and forget in order to enjoy the present festivities. But just as he dares to dream that Evie could be his Christmas future, a secret from Caine's childhood threatens their merrily-ever-after. Includes the bonus story, "One Night in Christmas!"

Christmas In Harmony Harbor by Debbie Mason is apparently the final book in her Harmony Harbor series, but the actual first book of the series that I’ve read. I went into this book without any character situation context at all and ended up really enjoying my time with it. If you’re looking for a sweet holiday themed romance with a few quirky characters and a supernatural element, Christmas In Harmony Harbor has got you covered.

Mason’s Christmas In Harmony Harbor follows Evangeline “Evie” Christmas who is running a business – Holiday House which is a year round holiday themed store. Unfortunately for Evie, her business is about to get bulldozed to make room for a parking lot for a new set of offices coming in for a big corporation. Heading up this project to bulldoze her store is Caine, the Irish CEO. Evie is desperate to save Holiday House. So, she makes a bet with Caine. He must fulfill three wishes from the Angel Tree.

Of course, Angel Tree wishes aren’t a wish list of gifts. Instead, they’re these tasks that the wish granter must fulfill. They have a way of bringing true meaning to the holiday to both the receiver and the giver. Evie has a strategy in mind. As it turns out, she did not plan on her attraction to Caine. Nor did she plan on Caine’s grandmother being kind of a witch bent on revenge against a local family in Harmony Harbor. Lucky for Evie, there’s a ghost who is watching out for them.

Yes, there are parts that are a little strange, like the ghosts element. However, it was also something unique added to this story. I loved Evie’s character and her persistence. Also, I really enjoyed unraveling the layers to Caine’s character. The book ends in the most perfect way too!

On A Scale of One To Buddy The Elf, How Much Christmas Spirit Does Christmas In Harmony Harbor Have?

Overall, Christmas In Harmony Harbor scores pretty high on the Buddy The Elf scale. This book really explores having a change of heart and the meaning of the season. It is a story about helping others, community, and hearing people out. There’s a love story, sure. However, it also covers moving past and healing from traumas and opening up to something great. And the end, yes, is lovely. Definitely pick this book up, even if you haven’t read anything from Harmony Harbor.
