No one should be alone for Christmas. At least, that’s what Evelyn Montgomery‘s parents always told her. So when she finds herself very alone for the festive holiday, she decides to book a weekend at Sutton Lake.
It’s there, in a whirlwind of fate, that she meets Jonathan, her gorgeous, albeit grumpy, neighbor across the lake, who also happens to be spending Christmas alone.
After sharing the weekend together, they part ways, but when she leaves, Evelyn realizes maybe parting ways isn’t what she wants at all.
Returning to Sutton Lake to find him, she discovers that not everything about that Christmas weekend was as it seemed. Jonathan is nowhere to be found, and no one from the town remembers her from her visit just one week ago.
Doubting herself, Evelyn wonders if she made it all up.
Was her trip to Sutton Lake just a dream?
And if it was, maybe that means Jonathan was just a figment of her peppermint wishes.
Peppermint Wishes is a Christmas love story, NOT a romance.

This was a fun, unique quick read that sets itself apart from a standard romance by the twist that it provides. This was absolutely perfect for reading while I was snowed in while Evelyn and Jonathan open their hearts to one another. Reading with an open heart and mind, I felt satisfied that each character receives exactly what they needed for the time. Evelyn grows and discovers some lessons, albeit painful, are necessary for moving forward.
