What Merry Ex-Mas is about:
Christmas in Icicle Falls... Between Yuletide traditions, winter sports and mistletoe hanging everywhere, Christmas is the best time of year in Icicle Falls, Washington. But this year it's not so merry-for three of its residents, anyway. But Christmas has a way of working its magic. One of these women is about to rediscover love, another is going to remember what's important in life and the third will find a new dream in the new year. Merry Ex-mas, ladies!
Merry Ex-Mas was the perfect book for me during this hectic time of year. I loved just kicking back and letting the story take me away. I truly want to visit this idyllic town of Icicle Falls and visit all of the quaint stores along Main street. I often wish that I lived in such a small town and owned a little book store that all of my friends visited daily. Sheila Roberts created some lively characters and provided me with plenty of laughs and sighs. Even though I couldn't imagine spending five minutes with my ex-husband, the women of Merry Ex-mas gave me hope that some ex's can put aside the hurts of the past and create a different type of relationship that creates a bit of harmony for the sake of the family.
Recommend? I had fun with this book and got exactly what I expected...a cute story, interesting characters, and some hours spent away from reality!!

I have the same dream of owning a small town bookstore, preferably with no exes around, lol.
