The Christmas Bouquet



The Christmas Bouquet by Sherryl Woods

Summary: When it comes to family and Christmas, #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods always looks to the O'Briens for a little holiday magic

For the very driven medical student Caitlyn Winters, catching the bridal bouquet at a Christmas wedding has set off a chain reaction that she's sure is more curse than blessing. Not only has she fallen in love with family medicine resident Noah McIlroy, but an unexpected pregnancy threatens her well-laid plans for the future. It doesn't help that Noah—with a whole lot of help from her O'Brien relatives—is completely on board with the prospect of marriage and happily-ever-after.

It takes a whole lot of patience, love and family persuasion to help Caitlyn realize that she can still have everything she ever wanted, including a home in her beloved Chesapeake Shores and a man who understands all of her dreams.


Angie's Comments:  The author certainly created a book that made me very sympathetic to Noah and Caitlyn’s family. As I kept on reading, I wondered when Caitlyn would realize that she could marry, work in the U.S., and volunteer at times in Africa. She is annoying with her determination to hold on to her previous plans even though things have changed. I could understand the frustration of Noah and Caitlyn’s family! It probably approaches reality much more than some other romances.  Sometimes people are very resistant to change.


Opinion from other reviewers has been mixed on this book. I like author Sherryl Woods, and I enjoyed reading this book once. Would I read it again? No, and it certainly isn’t my favorite Woods book. But if you like Sherryl Woods or more realistic romances, you might want to try this book.
