Secrets, Sparks and Second Chances…a Heartwarming Holiday Romance


Seb Pierce isn’t exactly a cowboy, but after fifteen years on a ranch in Texas, he might as well be. And he’d do just about anything to keep the rancher who took him in so many years ago from losing his land…including returning to the wealthy roots he’s long since abandoned. Seb agrees to work for his stern grandfather for one year in return for an early draw on his inheritance. But he never expected the agreement to land him in a quirky small town in Iowa at Christmas-time, renovating a dilapidated theater…and running into a woman he never thought he’d see again. She might not remember him, but he remembers her.

After too many years away from her hometown—and too many failures to count—Leigh Renwycke is finally back in Maple Valley and living the stable life she used to wish for. If only she could shake the old restlessness that used to get her into trouble. When Seb Pierce waltzes into her world and begs for her help planning the theater’s holiday reopening, it could be the solution to her discontent. If she pulls it off, it might be enough to jumpstart a new career…and to prove once and for all that the new-and-improved Leigh is here to stay.

But between old secrets and new sparks, restoring a town treasure in time for Christmas may not be as easy as it seems…especially once Leigh learns the truth about Seb.

My Review: I love, love, love Melissa Tagg. I just absolutely LOVE everything she has ever written, including this darling novella. Who doesn't love a great Christmas love story?? Leigh and Seb captivated me from the very beginning. I love how Melissa Tagg takes her characters and makes them so real. I felt the internal struggle both Leigh and Seb were going through throughout the story. Both Leigh and Seb have things in their past to work out and watching them figure it out together is beautiful.

A wonderful mix of faith, love, and laughter, One Enchanted Noel is sure to enchant any reader. The Christmas setting just makes the story more magical. The feelings, emotions, and sparks between Leigh and Seb are fantastic and very well written. Overall, I absolutely adored this story and even though it's the last novella in the Enchanted Christmas collection, I was not lost at all. It did make me want to go read the rest of the series, though!
