About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Love can transform even the best-laid plans in this heartfelt Christmas novel from the queen of Christmas stories, Debbie Macomber.

Trapped in the middle of five siblings, Everly Lancaster always had big dreams. Now a top real-estate executive, Everly finds her work is her life, leaving no space for anything (or anyone) else. Sensing her stress, Everly’s boss insists she take December off. At first, a month away seems crazy—how will the company survive without her? But Everly’s mother convinces her otherwise. She deserves a vacation—plus, when she returns, she’ll have no excuse to skip family Christmas like she did last year.

But after her vengeful assistant books a guided cruise in the Amazon instead of the luxury beach vacation she expected, Everly is horrified to realize that she’s about to spend the next two weeks trapped—with no Wi-Fi!—in the rain forest. Not even Asher Adams, the ship’s charming naturalist, can convince Everly that the trip will be unforgettable. Slowly but surely, she realizes he is right: the sights are spectacular. And with each passing day, Everly’s relationship with Asher deepens, forcing her to take a long, hard look at her priorities.

Everly and Asher begin to see magic in the possibility of a life together. But as the cruise nears its end, and Everly’s family Christmas approaches, both must decide if love is worth the risk. A merry surprise may be in store in Debbie Macomber’s newest holiday delight.

Ratings and reviews

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars received rom NetGalley Jingle All The Way by Debbie Macomber is about Everly Lancaster, Real Estate executive who is totally stressed...middle sister with no mate, ditzy vengeful assistant, avoiding family Christmas. Her business partner tells her to take the month of December for vacation...assistant plan vacation only it’s not on some sunny beach but...cruising down the Amazon River! Where she meets Asher Adams, the naturalist on the ship....friendship develops and grows into something more and find that sometimes love happens in the most unexpected places...or when the trip ends they go their separate ways...only time will tell...

Everly AKA "Daisy" has lived the life of a workaholic. Forced to take time off work, she travels and meets the most unexpected man. When disaster strikes, is it more than her heart at risk? Asher has traveled the world. Mostly a loner, he finds he does well in his isolated lifestyle. Meeting the most important woman never even entered his thoughts. Now that he has, he has no idea what to do about it. The mot unlikely couples tend to be the very best ones, in my opinion. This story was very much that in so many ways. Always a favorite one click author for me, this holiday jaunt into the pages was an unexpectedly slow burn of epic proportions. The characters were fun and had depth, if you get past the belittling characters in the front of the book. Worth the read however, as it hits the HEA jackpot before it ends. ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publishers.

I just love Christmas romances. This one was no different. I love Daisy and Asher. The setting in the Amazon was interesting. I recommend this one.
