The Christmas Star by Donna VanLiere is the ninth book in the Christmas Hope series. It is a sweet Christmas romance with a seven-year-old matchmaker named Bella.  She takes it upon herself to match up Gabe the maintenance man with Amy a volunteer at Glory's Place.  But Amy just so happens to be Gabe's ex-wife and they didn't end on a good note.  Can these two forgive the past and look to the future to give a seven-year-old the gift she wants for Christmas.

I enjoyed this Halllmark Channel movie like book, that would actually make a great Christmas movie.  Donna VanLiere has become along with Debbie Macomber my go to for sweet Christmas Romances.  The books are short sweet reads that pack a punch but in a good way.  And I always look forward to them every year.
