Title: A Beckett Christmas Intervention (The Beckett Series Book 7)
Author: Mary Martinez
Genre: Holiday Fiction, Family Saga
Book Blurb:
The Becketts have a strong sense of family and honor. When one of their own is threatened, their bond is as strong as a badge of steel. And who instilled this foundation of strength in their children and grandchildren? Nana and Papa Beckett. It is understandable that when Nana and Papa announce at Thanksgiving they're getting divorced, the family is devastated. It will take the entire Beckett clan to plan an intervention. Before Christmas, they'll sprinkle Nana and Papa with the magic of the Christmas Noel at their favorite bed & breakfast on Nantucket Island. Can the family be as secretive as Santa's elves to pull off the intervention and keep Nana and Papa from making the biggest mistake of their lives? If they do, the wonder of Christmas will be remembered by all.
My Review:
When Nana and Papa make their announcement at Thanksgiving, the Becketts plot an intervention at Christmas. Everyone is home for Thanksgiving and it’s a remarkable feast for the Beckett family. The joy is sucked out of the room when Nana and Papa announce they’re getting divorced. No! It can’t be. The Beckett siblings take matters into their own hands. The ‘generals’ plan an intervention, and everyone is sworn to secrecy. The Christmas spirit is overflowing, and each person has a job to perform, including Santa. Can the Beckett family show Nana and Papa a Christmas miracle or will the Becketts be torn apart?
A Beckett Christmas Intervention is a heartwarming holiday tale that’ll melt your heart. Love big families? You’re going to love the Beckett clan. I love holiday fiction and this story is very relatable. It’s not uncommon for older couples to divorce these days. Mary Martinez takes this premise and puts a wonderful spin on it. The descriptive narration is very immersive and there’s a holiday vibe woven throughout. I could smell the aromas of Christmas as I read. The characters were so believable and well written, they leaped from the page and into my heart. The plot moved at a nice easy pace. The dialogue was humorous in some parts, serious in others. The family drama was realistic and anyone who loves big families or is part of a big family will relate. The ending tugged at my heartstrings. If you love holiday fiction, pick up A Beckett Christmas Intervention. If holiday fiction is your reading jam, pick up A Beckett Christmas Intervention. Get into the holiday spirit with A Beckett Christmas Intervention. Highly recommend!
