OVERVIEW:

Sage McKnight is an ambitious young architect working at her father’s firm who takes on her most challenging client in Mason Tucker. The former pro baseball player is still healing from the physical and emotional scars after a plane crash left him a wheelchair-using single dad, and he’s determined not to let anyone breach his emotional defenses. Sage knows her work on Mason’s new home in Hope’s Crossing is her best work yet, and she won’t let her grumpy client prevent her from showcasing her work personally.

With Sage’s gift for taking broken things and making them better, the matchmaking talent of the quirky locals and a generous sprinkling of Christmas cheer, Mason doesn’t stand a chance against the power of this magical holiday season.

All Is Bright by RaeAnne Thayne Review

There are so many elements to this story that hit home for me. Physical and emotional scars do take some perseverance to break through and Thayne dives in with some fabulous characters that elevate this story by knowing how to deal with the pain and anger and coming out with deep feelings and happiness.

Do you love warm and fuzzy feels in your story? All Is Bright is a wonderful small-town Christmas story with that cozy vibe where everyone knows everyone. It is a part of a series, but I did not feel lost and you quickly figured out who belongs to whom.

Although there are a lot of characters to try and keep track of the main characters you are always brought back to the main few.

When a grumpy single guy trying to find his way after multiple tragedies and a beautiful yet ambitious architect who knows just how to handle him figure it all out, sparks start to fly and the smiles get bigger. This story shows us that buried under the pain and hurt we have, good people are still inside.

We also get a separate treat with a second romance that seals the deal for this wholesome Christmas romance. Just the perfect story to kick off your holiday reading! Thayne is a romance writer like none other!
