Review: Christmas at Fort Gifford by Jordan Elizabeth

Christmas at Fort Gifford

Synopsis

Fort Gifford, a reconstructed fort from the Revolutionary War, draws people in every year for the Holiday Celebration. Mauve loves volunteering at Fort Gifford, and the Holiday Celebration is her favorite time of the year. This year, however, might be the last. Can Mauve save the place she calls home?

Hiram likes reality TV more than he does history. Fort Gifford is one of the last places he wants to visit, but it might be the place that finally brings him happiness and true love.

Christmas at Fort Gifford is a novella of two different parts, both filled with history and romance.

Review

An interesting story about a historic ford that is about to be closed to the public. Fort Gifford has been the most important thing in Mauve's life. She volunteers there and spends most of her time talking about the place. When a new volunteer appears during the holiday season, she finds herself feeling attracted to him. But she has a boyfriend, Hiram. He doesn't share her love for history but he has been there for her for as long as she can remember. Will this new development make her question her relationship with Hiram?


It's a very well written story. Not very romantic though. It's mostly about saving Ford Gifford but there are some sweet scenes that make it a fun read. I enjoyed the story, especially the lazy tone in which it's told. Everything unfolds slowly and beautifully. I'd recommend this book to everyone who enjoys good contemporary fiction.
