Title: Lights, Camera, Love for Christmas (Holly Ridge Christmas Book 4)
Author: Ruby Hill
Genre: Small Town Romance, Wholesome Holiday Romance
Book Blurb:
A feel-good Christmas romance about protecting the heart of a small town.
As a location scout, my mission is to find the perfect small town for a Christmas movie. When I stumble upon Holly Ridge, I know it’s exactly what my production team is looking for—a charming winter wonderland with endless cinematic potential.
But Drew Pierce, the town’s protective mayor, isn’t thrilled about Hollywood swooping in on his close-knit community. From the moment we meet, he makes it clear that he doesn’t trust outsiders, especially not someone who could disrupt the town’s traditions.
As Drew shows me around, I begin to see Holly Ridge through his eyes—the warmth, the people, the magic no camera can truly capture. The more time I spend here, the more I start questioning my fast-paced, career-focused life. And as Christmas approaches, so does the undeniable attraction between us.
But when Drew discovers the changes my company plans to make, our budding romance hits a wall. Now, I have to decide: will I fight for love, or walk away from the one place that’s starting to feel like home?
My Review:
If a person can be henpecked by a boss, then that is Tessa. She is striving to please an evil Scrooge-like boss and that aspect of the story is well worth the price of this book. Tessa falling for the town she is scouting is so well presented, the reader can't help but fall for the town at the same time.
The book is brimming with the Christmas celebration theme and that helps keep a warm feeling to the book. Drew is a powerful character who is there to look after his town. The instant attraction of Tessa and Drew is honestly portrayed.
The character building is first rate. The character of Drew's distant brother Colton illustrates how well this is done. Colton may not be a main or secondary character, but his enormous influence on the story is remarkable.
No spoilers here but the ending is so good, such an amazing read, it raises the entire book from great to sublime. If you want to read a great Christmas romance, this is the book. If you enjoy Hallmark holiday movies like I do, then this book is for you! A book worth reading again just to savor the ending over and over!
