What would you do if three of your ex-boyfriends showed up at the holidays determined to you back? From Karen Schaler, a bestselling author and the Emmy Award-winning writer of Netflix, Hallmark, and Lifetime Christmas movies, this hilarious and heartwarming holiday romantic comedy could change everything you think about second chances.

“A wonderful festive setting…The cast is charming and the atmosphere’s enchanting.” – Publishers Weekly

While promoting her next romance novel, author Riley Reynolds is caught off guard when asked during a live national television interview how she can write about love when she still hasn’t found “the one.” Scrambling for an answer, she says she’s had great love in her past that has inspired all her stories.

Little does she know this one offhanded remark will turn her world upside down.

Three of her ex-boyfriends see the interview, and each, believing she’s talking about him, shows up at a book retreat she’s hosting at the Christmas Lake Lodge, determined to win her back!

The competition for love is like an episode of The Bachelorette, as Riley’s old boyfriends compete to win her heart by planning the most outrageous Christmas dates on the planet.

Despite herself, Riley starts falling for each guy again for drastically different reasons. As she revisits each relationship and discovers more about herself, can she finally find true love and her own Christmas ever after…

BONUS CONTENT: Christmas Ever After includes delicious original Christmas recipes and fun holiday crafts and activities.

Fans of Debbie Macomber, RaeAnne Thayne, Susan Mallery, and Jenny Hale will love this uplifting, feel-good, Christmas romance.

Title: Fun and Sweet with lots of Christmas Cute
Review: This great little Christmas adventure is a charming and enjoyable read. I giggled and cried the best kind of way. It was so fun to find Christmas charm and a cozy setting, but with conflicted characters that had lots of room to grow.

Title: Hallmark Style Christmas Romance
Review: I have read both of Karen’s other Christmas books and loved them so I was so excited about this one. Before I get into how good the story was, I do have to say that I was amazed at the number of errors in wording and punctuation in this book. I am really glad that this story was beyond good because that was the reason I was able to overlook the errors. It did however slow me down a little when words were accidentally left out or the wrong word was used. Anyway now that we have that little tidbit out of the way, I can tell that if you like Hallmark style movies then this is the book for you. It has all the elements it needs to be turned into a Hallmark Christmas movie. When you first meet Riley who is the main female character, she comes off a little rough around the edges but once you know her back story it makes complete sense why she is a little tough on the outside. Luke, the main male character, on the other hand is all gentleman. He is definitely one of those guys you can see as the hero of a story. Also if you have read Karen’s previous novels then you’ll remember the whole Christmas camp idea. I have to say every time I read about Christmas camp, it makes me want to go to one. With all that being said, I just want to make sure I reiterate that in spite of the errors I would still totally recommend this book to anyone but especially those who love good Christmas books.

Title: Christmas at the Lake
Review: I loved this book! The characters were so real, they felt like friends. The lodge and Christmas Lake were a perfect setting for this story. There were a few typos, but they weren't distracting. I would recommend this book to readers of romance and Christmas books.

Title: Fun Read
Review: Several other reviewers have said this, but there are quite a few grammatical mistakes, including missing or adding words. It could have definitely used another editing readthrough before going to publication. Because of this, I nearly lowered the rating to 4 stars.The story is super cheesy, and when it first started, I thought that I wouldn't like it. Riley Reynolds, our main character, is a bit of a Scrooge. For me, even though the romance developed quickly, I felt like it was believable. They had a cute, fun connection.This book is clean. There was no swearing or violence. There is also no sexual content. Even though it was a bit cheesy, I would recommend it.

Title: Cute read
Review: What do I say abut this book? First of all, I want to be gracious because I did snag it for free. The story was cute, in the midst of copious repetition, and gave off the cheesy Christmas story we all know and love. I was surprised by how many errors this book had, even after being released two years prior. Mostly, I noticed missing quotations or extra quotations and incorrect spacing, like not indenting a new paragraph. At least with the ebook, it's pretty easy to make those corrections and upload a new file.I wished some parts of the books went by faster and some of the goods scenes I was looking forward to were recapped instead of played out for the reader. Considering the premise of her three ex-boyfriends showing up is in the blurb, we are half-way or more into the story before that actually happens.And was it dual POV? Because I could have sworn at least three chapters were from the hero's point of view, but that's hardly any if you are going to make it more than single POV.I can see how her work has been turned into movies, but the actual polishing of the story telling wasn't as well done as I would have imagined for an author whose work has been turned into film.
