    About this ebook


    After years apart, Mick and Megan O'Brien are finally ready to make it official; again. Most of their grown children couldn't be happier about their rekindled love and impending marriage this holiday season. Only Connor is a holdout. Driven to become a divorce attorney after what he views as his mother's abandonment of their family, Connor's not about to give his blessing to this reunion romance.

    The last thing Megan wants to do is hurt her family again. After all, is she really sure she and Mick can make it this time around? And when an unexpected delivery causes chaos, it seems only a miracle can reunite this family.

    Of course, it is Christmas the season of miracles.

      Enjoyable holiday story about family and working through problems. I haven't read the earlier books in the series but I never did get comfortable with a mother leaving her children. After many years Mick and Megan decide to remarry with various reactions from their adult children.
    • 5/5
      As I continue on with the O'Brien clan, I find myself wanting more, more, more! Sherryl Woods has done a wonderful job at telling each individual family member's story exquisitely nudging you to wonder what is going to happen in the next book.

      I am pleased with this storyline and the characters that were portrayed throughout this book but, I must agree with previous reviews that stated that this book perhaps was substantially shorter than the others because it seemed I breezed through this book in record time! However, I would rather it be a shorter book and get to the point than more pages of agonizing teter-tottering! All in all, I am still clinging on to the O'Brien clan!
    • 5/5
      Mick and Megan O'Brien are divorced but never really stopped loving each other and are ready to marry again, aiming for A New Year's Eve wedding. Both Mick and Megan are determined not to make the same mistakes they made while married even if it is a bit of a struggle. They have another big obstacle to overcome - while most of their grown children accept their plans to remarry their son Connor doesn't and his behavior is threatening the upcoming nuptials. What nobody realizes is that Connor himself has a big secret - one that changes everything when it is revealed.”A Chesapeake Shores Christmas” is a very nice romance set during the holiday season. I've recently discovered Sherryl Woods’ books and haven't read any of the other books in her Chesapeake Shores series (something I'll rectify soon) but I never felt lost as I was reading this book. The rekindled romance between Nick and Megan is sweet and very realistic as Meg struggles with what went wrong in the past, the effect her leaving still has on her children, and is determined to have a say in her own life. Connor's reaction to his mother’s leaving even after years have passed is also very understandable - add in the fact that he is a divorce lawyer and you have a very believable, flawed character. The family dynamics are what make this novel so strong - not only the dynamics between Nick and Megan and their children but Mick’s relationship with his brothers. The fact that the book takes place during the holidays (including Thanksgiving and Christmas) makes the family dynamics even stronger and many readers will identify with some of the situations that occur. Connor’s secret (which I won't reveal here) adds much to the book - while it partly sets up for a sequel to the book it never really feels that way and makes the book stronger. Connor is one of the more complex characters I've come across in a book like this and I look forward to reading more of his story.“A Chesapeake Shores Christmas” is a perfect book to read when you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
