Christmas In Whimsy (ePub)

Welcome to Whimsy, a mystical town where legend comes to life at Christmas. It's said the Spirit of Whimsy appears this time of year to grant your deepest wish. Some say she's an angel, some say she's pure energy. For Lexie, Robin, and Margot, she's their last hope. Lexie Moore, hotshot reporter, works hard to successfully juggle all the pins in her life. But when her job is threatened and her relationship starts to crumble, the pins come crashing down around her. Robin Russell, aspiring actress and sales clerk at the Holiday Hutch, is barely surviving paycheck to paycheck when a rent hike bulldozes her dreams, and she has no idea what's next. Margot Kobeleski, widow and single mom, still sees the ghost of her late husband, even as she's drawn to a new man in her life. If she's living in the past, will she miss her chance at a happy future? As the women embark on their Christmas adventures, their lives intersect in ways that may end up helping them all...or making life all that more complicated. Christmas bells are ringing, and time's running out for these three women to find the answers they need. For when the holiday is over, any magic the Spirit of Whimsy can offer will melt away. 'Christmas In Whimsy by Clarissa J. Markiewicz is a magical holiday read that will keep you guessing right to the very end. This is not your typical story for the genre, and it isn't one where you can easily predict what's going to happen. Very well-written, this is a page-turner that leaves you with a feeling of contentment. A combination of romance, magic, and suspense, it's a fun read that will give you a wonderful break from the trials and tribulations of real life. The characters are real people with relatable lives, developed in a detailed manner throughout the story in a wonderfully warm and quirky world. Christmas In Whimsy is an engaging story with plenty going on to keep you entertained, a lovely form of escapism.' - Anne-Marie Reynolds, Readers' Favorite
