I enjoyed reading The Christmas Ring, a heartwarming Christmas contemporary romance set in Georgia. Vanessa is devastated when she loses a family heirloom ring and prays she’ll somehow find it. She meets Ben at his family’s antique store after visiting her daughter at college. He joins her quest to find the ring, and a lovely friendship develops that has the potential to become a romantic relationship.
It was fun journeying with Vanessa and Ben in the story, and I loved seeing them overcome obstacles to have a second chance at love. I appreciated Vanessa’s volunteer work supporting military families in their community. The mystery of the missing ring was intriguing and played an important role in the story.
The story includes strong faith elements that are organic and show the characters living their faith. I recommend The Christmas Ring to contemporary romance readers who like lighthearted friends-to-more and second chances romances with military connections, family drama, a fun mystery and forgiveness themes in the story.
