Three reasons you should read this Sweet Christmas Romance:

Making Christmas Magic by Rachel Carrington is all about connections – towns’ people, caretakers, and romantic – this book covers them all.
The kids in this story plan a part just big enough that I fell in love with them, but they didn’t steal the show from our main couple.
The problem Ainsley faces is a very real one, and while Nick is somewhat of a savior figure, I have no doubt Ainsley could have come out on to without him – it was just a little easier with some help.

About Making Christmas Magic by Rachel Carrington

Title: Making Christmas Magic
Author: Rachel Carrington
Series: Spirit of Christmas #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Christmas

Sometimes, Christmas magic comes in mysterious ways.

Ainsley Beck is dedicated to the orphanage she runs and the twelve kids that are her responsibility. Sure, the house could use a lot of repairs, but it’s hers. That is, she believes it is until a handsome doctor arrives at her doorstep three days before Christmas to tell her that he’s just inherited the property…and it’s in foreclosure.

In spite of his intentions when he arrived in the small town of Broadway, after meeting Ainsley, Nick Riordan isn’t in any hurry to evict her. After all, it is Christmas. And his sudden change of heart has nothing to do with the immediate attraction he feels for her.

When a greedy lawyer throws a wrench into Nick’s plans and devastates Ainsley, he has to come up with a fallback plan to get Ainsley to trust him again before he loses much more than real estate.

My Review of Making Christmas Magic:

Making Christmas Magic by Rachel Carrington was an amazing story. I love it when the primary source of conflict isn’t necessarily a person (although there is a major jerk in the story that certainly doesn’t help). In this case, the main conflict is a house about to enter foreclosure. And this isn’t just any house. It’s an orphanage that is barely hanging on.

When Nick (the newly inherited owner) tells Ainsley the situation, she’s devastated. But Nick is going to try and save the day. Even if his lawyer thinks it’s a horrible idea.

Nick won me over with a snowball fight. When you get there you’ll know exactly what I mean. It was the moment I really started thinking of him as the hero of the story. And I think Ainsley might have seen a little bit of that as well.

But something needs to be done – and quickly – before the bank takes over the house and Ainsley and her crew of kids are left looking for a new place to live. And at Christmas, too.

The sweet romance between Nick and Ainsley was a lot of fun. This was a wonderful, light-hearted Christmas romance that will set you up nicely in the holiday spirit.
