About this item

The Holidays bring her back to Nantucket—could they also bring her a second chance?

When a youthful fling went sour, Maddy Fisher abandoned Nantucket to find herself. Now a single parent at 38, an urgent plea from her ailing mother drags her back to her hometown to save the family shop from bankruptcy.

Maddy always had a strained relationship with her mother. But as she pours herself into running their business, she slowly begins to rediscover the cozy small-town charm of this chilly and stunningly peaceful island. And when she meets Ethan, a handsome property manager who’s new to the area, she has a blast sharing her childhood memories with him.

But after her mother hits her with life-changing news, Maddy is faced with an impossible choice about her future. Will her Christmas getaway convince her to forge a life in Nantucket for good? And will her second chance at dating blossom into enduring love?

With a charming tale about healing from the past, making new beginnings, and rediscovering the value of family & a sense of belonging, The Season Of Her Heart is a relaxing and endearing Christmas adventure that’s perfect for readers who love later-in-life clean romance with idyllic small-town settings.

The series is interesting from the start. Maddy left Nantucket years ago & never plan to return. She had started a new life in Miami as a private interior designer & was doing well when her mom calls & tells her she had an accident & she needs her to come home & help her out. She just doesn’t tell her the whole story! So Maddy & her son, Mason, pack up for the trip from Miami to Nantucket, for the first time in 12 years. What has kept her away? Why didn’t she come back in all those years? Maddy is a bit alarmed at the condition of both her childhood home and the family owned business. Her mom, Sarah has broken her arm & cannot run the store by herself this Christmas season. There is too much to do, boxes to unpack, merchandise to put away etc. Mason is a typical 14 year old, stretching his wings but happy to see his grandmother. He wonders why they haven’t been in so long. Maddy uses her skills to decorate the shop’s window and a tree entry in the annual town contest while also running the shop. Maddy reconnects with her old friend Erica. She meets a handsome realtor who is new to town, and a attraction starts. They get to know each other as he volunteers to help her because she finds out at the last few days all these things her mother signed up to do, but failed to tell her & she doesn’t have much time to accomplish it so Ethan steps up & helps her get them done. She is beginning to see all the things her mother has let ride & needs to be done. The house & the shop is deteriorating. Maddy is overwhelmed & doesn’t know what to do. Mason her son, loves the island, right away he thinks its cool, Maddy also is remembering how lovely the island. Maddy gets home and her mom tells her some about the business, Maddy will have to go and see for herself. Maddy sees old friends and learns her mother has had a broken leg is the past, now she does not know what exactly her mother is not telling her. Very good story so far, looking forward to reading this story What will she do?? Will her mom sell the shop and retire? Will Maddy make a huge life change and move back to Nantucket? Maddy & Mason are not use to the cold, so can they be happy in this cold environment?

I received this ARC for free & am giving my review for free & in my own words. I think you’ll love this series!????

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024
Going from Miami back to Nantucket is much like a culture shock as Maddy is torn between wanting to be the child that grew up there and the adult who has returned to the island. It is clear that there are underlieing issues between Maddy and her Mom. It is also difficult for Maddy to come to terms with her mother getting older. There is definitely a strong under current of tension throughout the story that is in contrast with the nostalgic holiday scenes.

Maddie and her son Mason take off for Nantucket from Miami to help her mom after she had a fall. Maddie has not been back for quite some time. Maddie is all set to help her mom with her town store, during the busiest time of the year. Will memories make her leave or will the small town feel keep her there? Book one is off to a good start with us learning about the main characters if the story and also bringing i some new secondary characters. Looking to see where this goes, see Maddie’s position, etc. I received an arc from the author and leaving this review voluntarily

The Nantucket Christmas Escape - Book 1 -I received my ARC copy and I’m voluntarily leaving my review. I can already tell that this is going to be an enchanting storyline. Maddie has left Miami with her son Mason to go back to Nantucket to help her mom with errands Christmas store. Sara has broken er arm and had surgery and needs her daughter’s help with running the shop. There is a lot that she hasn’t told Maddie that has happened over the last year. Now Maddie is going to have to make some decisions about what to do. It sounds like the shop is failing and Sara is contemplating retiring! Can’t wait for the next book!

2.0 out of 5 stars is this book a joke? Did I miss something?
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024
Only 68 pages and nothing resolved in the plot. I understand leaving something for the sequel but why read the sequel when the 1st is so lacking.
