How Santa Gets His Christmas Spirit Back…

James Claussen has played Santa for years, but now that he's a widower, he's lost interest—in everything. So his daughter, Brooke, kidnaps him from the mall (in his Santa suit!) and takes him to Icicle Falls. She's arranged a special Christmas at the lodge owned by long-widowed Olivia Wallace and her son, Eric. And yet…Brooke wants Dad to be happy, but she's not ready to see someone else's mommy kissing Santa Claus.

Single mom Missy Monroe brings her kids to the lodge, too. Lalla wants a grandma for Christmas, and her brother, Carlos, wants a dog. Missy can't provide either one. What she'd like is an attractive, dependable man. A man like John Truman… But John's girlfriend will be joining him in Icicle Falls, and he's going to propose.

Of course not everything goes as planned. But sometimes the best gifts are the ones you don't expect!

"Hilarious...a fun and festive debut." –Library Journal on On Strike for Christmas

"Roberts' charming holiday-themed contemporary story set in the Seattle area offers hope, comfort, and a second chance for those who believe, and a nudge to change the minds of those who don't." –Booklist on The Snow Globe

"Within minutes of cracking open the book, my mood was lifted.... The warm, glowing feeling it gave me lasted for days." –First for Women on The Snow Globe

"This lighthearted and charming read will appeal to fans of Kristin Hannah's magical, light
romances and readers who enjoyed Roberts's previous holiday offerings." -Library Journal

"At last! An author who writes her way straight to the heart of every woman."-Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author.

Brooke Claussen is concerned that her dad, who used to love Christmas, is losing his interest in life since her mom died. So Brooke kidnaps him and takes him to idyllic Icicle Falls for a family celebration with no sad memories. Naturally, James Claussen rebels, but as the holidays progress, the landscape shifts and soon passion is igniting everywhere. Colorful characters, both old and new, bring the season to life in this light-hearted, engaging romance. A recipe for gumdrop cookies is a bonus. VERDICT A daughter takes matters into her own hands to bring joy and love back into her father's life in this richly peopled heart-warmer that features several memorable couples and is perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods, and Robyn Carr. Roberts (The Tea Shop on Lavender Lane) lives in Bremerton, WA.
