New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde’s delightful Twilight, Texas, series continues with this sparkling Christmas novel. A reality TV show producer returns to her hometown of Twilight in this lovers reunited story filled with holiday spirit and perfect for readers of Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis. 

She was the one who got away…

Noelle Curry has returned to Twilight to plan the most spectacular double wedding the town has ever seen—and do it on national television. But the woman known as “The Wedding Whisperer” is knocked speechless when she notices her teenage crush, Gil Thomas, is about to plunge into icy cold water wearing nothing more than a pair of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer swim trunks. He is the sexiest guy participating in the annual polar bear plunge and seeing him pushes all thoughts of white lace and rose blossoms right out of her mind. 

He was the man who decided to stay…

Single dad Gil doesn’t regret giving up his dreams of big-city singing stardom for small-town life. But seeing Noelle—who’s blossomed from the once-gawky teenager to West Coast beauty—has him thinking of days—and nights—a whole lot hotter than his plunge in the lake. And even though he knows she’ll be heading out as soon as her work is finished, he can’t help hoping the magic of Christmas in Twilight will get her to change her mind and stay in town—and by his side—forever. 

The Christmas Brides Of Twilight by Lori Wilde is the latest entry into the Twilight, Texas series. I’ll admit, I’ve only read the Christmas themed books from this series and mostly enjoyed them. This story is about a wedding planner who returns to Twilight, Texas where she briefly spent the best parts of her youth with her grandparents. She’s back to plan a wedding for two contest winners — twins who are marrying brothers around Christmas. As it turns out, the twins are kind of difficult. Noelle Curry then encounters the man she had a crush on when she was younger – Gil. Turns out Gil is a widower and still very handsome. Oh and he owns the venue that the twins wedding will be taking place.

Generally, I like these Twilight Texas books. They are quick reads with some heartwarming moments. This one, maybe it was because I listened via audio, but it didn’t have that same vah vah voom for me. Or maybe it was because it felt a little too Hollywood with the whole LA wedding planner theme. I’m not sure. The audiobook is an easy listen – this is good for when you are stressed and literally cannot devote all your iota of energy to paying attention. It is so easy to follow and guaranteed not to stress you out even more. The narrator is Lisa Zimmerman who has a very pleasant voice. It is 8 hours and 35 minutes and well produces.

On A Scale Of One To Buddy The Elf, How Much Christmas Spirit Does The Christmas Brides Of Twilight Have?

Compared to the earlier books in this series, I would say this one has a little less spirit. Sure, there’s a Polar Bear Plunge for charity. There’s also talk of the cookie legend which takes place in the other books — good they kept that tradition up. However, nothing really pulled my heartstrings or made me think YES NOW I HAVE THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT. However, your mileage may vary and you should try this out yourself if you liked the other books from this series.
