I had the fun of listening to Christmas in Evergreen – Bells Are Ringing. As a busy wife and mom, I spend a fair amount of time in my car and love the company of a great story.

As a book published by Hallmark, and part of the Evergreen movie collection, I knew what I was getting, and Bells are Ringing didn’t disappoint. Elliot and Hannah’s journey bak to each other is full of poignant moments, helping others and Christmas sentiment, worthy of Hallmark.

The trouble starts when Elliot’s dream to expand his tinker shop business and open a flagship store in Boston, looks to be coming true. While he eyes a departure from the most festive town on the planet, girlfriend Hannah looks to solidify her role within the town.

Oh dear.

To make matters worse, Hannah is running from work, to volunteering, to community service, and family commitment, as her brother gears up to marry town mayor Michelle.

Then she realizes her true purpose is to run the town’s brand new history museum. Unfortunately, one of the three people who own the building want to stop her and suddenly both Elliot and Hannah are at risk of losing everything. The question is, will they pull together or tear apart?

I liked both Elliot and Hannah, and as ever several Evergreen favorite characters popped up along the way. For me, the narrator was a little too syrupy, but the story was fun and lighthearted and festive. I enjoyed listening very much.
