A Wright Christmas by K.A Linde turned out to be a sweet second chance romance set in Lubbock, Texas. It tells the story of high school sweethearts whose relationship ended on mutual terms when Peyton went to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a professional ballerina. Her life may have taken a different path, but time and distance did not dim her love for Isaac. A fact she would discover when she reunited with him 16.5 years later.
Peyton returned home to Lubbock, for the first time in 16.5 years to perform in Nutcracker and to spend time with her family during the festive season. As she would only be home for a month, falling in love with her high school sweetheart all over again was not on her agenda. Fate, however, had other plans.
Isaac may not have been able to fulfil his dream of becoming a soccer player, but he is making the best of his life as a single father and a successful architect. Fifteen years ago, he made the biggest sacrifice, but he never expected he would have a second chance until he came to face to face with the one woman who held his heart captive for so many years. However, with her only being in town for one month, will he risk his heart and that of his daughter or will he sacrifice all in the name of love?
I had a wonderful time with this book and it was fun to go back to the world of the Wrights family. I went in with high expectations and the author met each one. My only complaint is that I wanted more of Peyton and Isaac’s story. I loved how the romance developed instinctively and without the unnecessary angst.
I enjoyed the family dynamics featured in the story. I admired Isaac’s interaction with his daughter, loving but firm. I also had fun catching up with the members of the Wright family. Based on the information provided, I know there will be more stories featuring this powerful family.
Linde created a warm-hearted festive story filled with Christmas cheer which featured a swoon worthy hero, an adorable but stubborn five-year-old and a determined heroine.
Conclusion/Recommendation
A Wright Christmas gave me all the feels and gave an extra boost to my waning Christmas spirit. Fans of second chance romance and the single father trope will enjoy this latest offering from Linde

They didn’t part on bad terms, so it makes sense there would be any angst. Loved it, their reunion was sweet. 🙂
