Bramble House Chronicles, Book 2

Tule Publishing, December 7, 2023

Christmas Romance/ Contemporary Romance

Bramble House B & B is booked for the Christmas season, and new owner Amy Arden and her husband Chet Hardwick are excited to spend their first Yuletide season as a married couple. To spread the joy of the season, they have carefully selected their guests for the week before Christmas including two very special people.

Oliver Rivers is coming to Marietta to fulfill his mother’s deathbed wish…to locate the daughter his mother gave up when she was fifteen. When that doesn’t go as planned, he finds himself gravitating to another guest at Bramble House.

Everyone calls Gemma Granger the runaway bride, but they don’t know she was deceived by her fiancé and fled to Bramble House to nurse her broken heart. Instead, Gemma finds herself feeling an instant connection with Oliver and helping him bond with his long-lost family.

Oliver suspects Gemma is taking on him and other projects to avoid dealing with her heartbreak. But the truth is that with each passing day, Gemma is discovering that her real life and her real love might not be where she thought it was.

REVIEW:

A perfect follow-up to Promise Me Please, Cowboy, this Christmas story has the main characters from that book succeeding as the new Bramble House owners. You will not be lost if you have not read their story, but it’s a wonderful read so I recommend you give it a read. The required Christmas magic from the town of Marietta is present in all its glory. Two guest of the B&B come to town with different agendas and find themselves spending quite a bit of time together participating in all the Christmas events put on by the town. Love the characters, the storyline, the description of holiday festivities, and charm of the B&B and the town. Can never go wrong with a CJ Carmichael Christmas story!

A Merry Bramble House Christmas

BOOK EXTRAS

Dear Reader,

I was (understandably!) excited the day I learned that a movie was going to be made based on my book A Bramble House Christmas, to be premiered on the Hallmark mysteries and movies channel in 2017. Since then, the support for this book (and the wonderful movie) has inspired me to continue the stories in a new series: Bramble House Chronicles.

A Merry Bramble Christmas, is the second in this series. The first, Promise Me Please Cowboy, was released in September 2023 and features the love story between Amy Arden (the new owner of Bramble House B & B) and rodeo cowboy Chet Hardwick.

But to fully appreciate the history of Bramble House (which deviates in some respects from the movie) you need to go back to a book published in 2014, Snowbound in Montana, where we meet the original owner of Bramble House (great aunt Mable) and her great niece (Eliza Bramble) who convinces Mable to convert the historic family home into a bed-and-breakfast. In this book Eliza falls in love with rugged ski guide, Marshall McKenzie, and when they decide to get married, Marshall agrees to move into Bramble House and help Eliza keep her business going.

The next big development in Bramble House’s history occurs in a novella I published in 2018, Carrigan Christmas Reunion. Here dramatic events force Eliza and Marshall to put Bramble House up for sale…a decision which led me to the creation of the Bramble House Chronicles series, and the afore mentioned Promise Me Please Cowboy.

It’s complicated, I know, but these books have been so much fun to write and with the support of my readers I look forward to continuing the series in the years to come. Thank you for visiting Bramble House B & B. I hope to see you again soon!

Wishing you Peace and Joy,
CJ
