A Chesapeake Shores Christmas (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

I read (listened to) the first Sherryl Woods book in this series, The Inn at Eagle Point, because it was set on the Chesapeake Bay. You can see my review of it here on Goodreads. I stopped reading her books after that one, but I had this one already downloaded and figured I would like to read (listen to) a book related to Christmas in the weeks preceding the holiday. To my repeated disappointment, this book had as much to do with Christmas as Santa Claus has to do with Easter.This book is nothing but more drivel about the dysfunctional O'Brien family that happens to be set around the holidays. And yet another female character who abandons her children (child in this case) rather than act like a grown-up. I don't know if the author suffered from a broken home or some other trauma as a child, but after reading just two of her books I see a repeating theme of women, mothers, abandoning their children because their lives weren't all sunshine and roses. Well, waah waah waah, my life isn't perfect, I think I will run away and abandon all of my responsibilities. And then expect the men in their lives to welcome them back with open arms as if nothing ever happened. Those of you who have read this trash will understand when I say that Connor was the only one with good sense in this novella. Another winner in the series surrounding the O'Brien family, based on a fictional town on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. This story centers mostly around Mom Megan and Dad Mick as they reconnect and decide whether or not to remarry after years of divorce. Megan is struggling to strengthen her independence and get closer to her grown children while Mick just wants to get married and get on with their lives. Their differing viewpoints creates some amusing conflicts, but the book is also full of tender moments surrounding the Christmas season. We also learn more about younger son Connor who is facing some family issues of his own, most of his problems centering around his cynical attitude as a top divorce lawyer and as the unhappy product of divorced parents. This series always makes me feel good, with a strong sense of family, warm relationships despite disagreements, and charming romance. Can't wait to read the next in the series.
