As the daughter of missionaries, Kerrie Alexander has lived on Hatteras—an island in the Outer Banks—longer than any other place she’s been. When her parents inform her the family is slotted to go overseas again, she balks. Her life on the island—her job, her friends, even the handsome hero in her Sunday School class—makes her want to put down roots. But to do so, she’ll need to find a place to live, face being on her own separated from any close family—something she’s never done before.
Firefighter and EMT Wade Hampton can face pretty much any emergency, except his matchmaking grandpa threatening him with disinheritance if Wade doesn’t get married in just three months. Not that Wade objects to the idea of marriage, but how does a guy who has no problem running into burning buildings find the courage to ask a girl like Kerrie out for a date? She’s a role model for everything good, and he comes from a rough and broken home. Not to mention, Christmas is right around the corner!
My Review:
Another Outer Banks Christmas is a sweet Contemporary Christian Romance novel. The story is heartwarming and a joy to read. The characters and setting are wonderful. I loved the interactions between Kerrie and Wade.
Kerrie is part of a large family headed by missionary parents. They've been in Hatteras for a while now but then Kerrie's parent spring on her that they are scheduled to move overseas. Kerrie makes the decision to stay where on Hatteras, but it won't be easy. She has very little time to make living arrangement and come to terms with adulting away from the warmth and protection of her family.
Wade Hampton is a local firefighter and EMT on the island. When his grandfather springs an ultimatum on him - marry or be removed from the will - Wade faces a conundrum. He's been dancing around Kerrie for a months. Little did he know his grandfather is a scheming little matchmaker. The ultimatum was a mechanism to force Wade to get out of his own way and take a chance on asking Kerrie out.
The book pulled me in and kept me engaged from the start. I had a hard time putting it down. I loved how the book doesn't shy away from giving the male characters real emotions.
I was provided a copy of this book.
