I almost always love reading a Ciara Knight book and this one doesn’t disappoint me. Very thoughtful of unusual circumstances. A single mom and a single veteran, both having struggles in life. Very heartwarming.

Book wasn't meant for me. Hopefully someone will enjoy it more. I will look into renting it in the future

It is Christmas time and after 17 years of running away Keith has returned for the holiday. Noelle is new to the area and in desperate need of someone to watch her visually impaired son. Nice small town setting with characters that are more realistic. They have flaws and relationships are not perfect. I liked this book.

Christmas Bells of Creekside (A Sweetwater County Holiday Novel #1). By Ciara Knight. 2021. Defy the Dark Publishing LLC (ARC eBook).

Christmas Bells of Creekside is a heartwarming Christmas romance with themes of trust, forgiveness, confidence and faith. Single mother Noelle and her young, spirited son, Micha, are going through a very challenging time as Micha’s eyesight is diminishing. Keith is also experiencing a crisis as his long overdue Creekside homecoming is precipitated by the loss of his job as a ocean fisherman. But as bells ring out through a snowy Christmas Eve, a prayer will bring the three together for a happy ending.

This is such a sweet story! You keep wondering along the way how the love story will emerge and blossom. It will keep you guessing almost until the very end however the progression keeps you coming back for more! I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for something to get you in the holiday spirit or just to read something clean and inspiring.

Great book. I only read Christmas books from October to February. Was glad I added this to my list.

Don't exclude that the bells could be ringing

The writing style of this book is great. This is a small town romance. It will not disappoint you it will keep your attention from the first page. I absolutely enjoyed little Micha's character. His character made me smile throughout this whole book he is a special little boy. This is such a heartwarming Christmas romance. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This is a very cutesy read that I read very quickly, It feels like a Hallmark movie.

Keith comes home from working on a fishing boat to reunite with his family. Before he even gets a chance to do this, his path changes when he (literally) runs into Micha and his plans are turned around.

This is a lovely book if you would like a quick read. It was very thought-envoking story, describing how Micha and his mother have come to Creekside, and how they not only how to deal with a new place, but also how Micha is going blind, how he has to understand his new way of life and how his mother Noelle, has to respond as well.

This is a love story of so many levels and I would recommend it to anyone.

When Keith returns to his hometown for the holidays, he meets Noelle and her partially sighted son Micha. This is a festive, feel good book which was enjoyable but so, so predictable. Obviously they fall in love, but for both main characters to get over hang ups and issues which they’ve hung onto for years in just a matter of days, is simply unbelievable.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

A heartwarming story with such a reminder of God's grace and compassion towards us all. Seeing life thru the eyes of a child and knowing that security issues encouraging. Being reminded I need to play my part.

Here is the story young boy losing his eyesight and his mom raising a special needs child as a single parent. Set in the season of Christmas, can happiness and love be found and see Christmas in a new light?

He has been furloughed from the boat due to fishing regulations, so Keith returns to his hometown for the holidays to reunite with his estranged mother and her new husband Devon.

Keith and Noelle agree to a temporary arrangement through the season, but the boy has other plans.

Mickah is on a mission to help his mother obtain happiness again, maybe gain a new and this time a loving dad, and save Christmas for all.

This was a very sappy unrealistic story but it was full of happy endings. I thought Mickah was too old to be doing the antics of running away. I found Noelle and Keith very realistic although I couldn’t see how Keith could ever be happy in a hometown with such painful memories.

Yet…God works in mysterious ways.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this.

This is a very sweet romance story between Noelle and Keith, with a more heavy focus on Noelle's son Micha, who is going blind.

A touching story, more so for Noelle and Keith, about overcoming their fears and facing a new future that awaits them.

A Sweet Christmas story that was on the tearjerker side as well. It had me had me tearing up from the very first page. And I was bawling by the end of it. So I recommend having tissues handy as you read this one.
