Christmas in Peachtree Bluff (The Peachtree Bluff Series Book 4)

The “storm of the century” is on its way to Peachtree Bluff, reeking havoc on the holiday break. While the Murphy sisters evacuate to New York, the rest of the clan is forced to shelter in place during one the worst hurricanes to hit the island; all thanks to the recklessness of teenage Vivi.Determined to rescue their family, the Murphy sisters decide that if they can’t get to the island by land or air, they will sail to Peachtree Bluff on Caroline’s boat. They HAVE TO save their family and the beloved island they call home, just in time for Christmas.This is a beautiful story of family love mixed with a little drama, and the events that take place when a family pulls together; when it REALLY matters. All the small town family traditions made me miss being surrounded by my (very large) family at Christmas time.I felt like I was actually there; walking the streets of Peachtree Bluff and sipping hot chocolate with the locals at the tree lighting ceremony.This book is a Hallmark movie wrapped in a big hug; it’s a whole FEELING. It’s a story of second chance romance and childhood love (my FAVORITE romance trope.) And don’t think I didn’t Google if it’s an actual place, because I definitely did. 😆I’ll miss the Murphy women and their FIERCE love for each other! 5 GLORIOUS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s lovely to be able to return to Peachtree Bluff! A lot has changed for Ansley and her daughters, but some things haven’t changed—the fierce love of this family and the charm of this coastal town. I loved catching up with everyone, these women who I’ve cared about for so long, spending time with them during the holidays. All of them are navigating changes in their lives, but when the biggest change of all comes along—Hurricane Pearl—threatening everything they hold dear, they must once again rely on their love and unwavering support of each other to get through. Small town charm, a heart-warming story, delightful characters, and the holidays all add up to the perfect book for the holidays! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

What’s better than the Murphy Family in the summer. The family at Christmas. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think you will too! Anytime I can visit Peachtree Bluff, count me in!

Peachtree Bluff sounds like an amazing small town to grow up and live in as well as raise children. There are many Christmas traditions that would make Christmas special for everyone.

As usual, this is another uplifting book in this series. There are so many emotions and events that mirror the lives of women everywhere.

I loved the first three Peachtree books but oh dear! This one! This family now owns several houses in the town, apparently in prime locations - I got mixed up whose was which - as well as luxurious boats. One of the houses was virtually demolished in the huge storm but the owner, Caroline, who discovers she has no insurance, just says “oh dear - never mind, I’ll let my sister and husband have the plot”. That’s how rich they all are. Somehow I found their attitudes, and the rather cloying affections over the top, when in the first novel I felt tremendous sympathy for the family (mother and three daughters) in New York who lost the husband and father in 9/11, leaving them with nothing but an old house in Peachtree. They’ve come a long, long way since then!!! Christmas there seems one long celebration with happy townsfolk - tho this may be true of some of the lovely east coast resorts of the USA. Again - sounds lovely but maybe just a little OTT to us Brits?!
