In the Christmas-loving town of Harmony, electrician Winnie Anderson is determined to win the annual Christmas lights competition. With $10,000 prize money on the line, it's Winnie's ticket to saving her beloved father's house. If she doesn't win, she'll lose the house, and have to move out of Harmony for good.
Winnie is sure she's the best woman to win. There's only one problem: Dan Parker, rival electrician.
All Dan wants is a place to call home, and after moving to town three years ago, he knows Harmony is everything he dreamed. He's always hoped Winnie would be a part of his future, since she's the only woman who has ever caught his eye. But first he must get past the strange tension between them.
When Winnie breaks her leg, Dan surprises her by stepping up to help complete the display. As they grow closer, Winnie begins to realize Dan isn't the man she'd always believed. But with both her career as an electrician and her father's house hanging in the balance, has her revelation come too late?
Christmas Lights on Evergreen Avenue is a sweet contemporary romance that celebrates love, Christmas, community, and friendships. For fans of Hallmark movies.

My Review: 4 Stars
This book truly does read like a Hallmark movie--a broken girl, a competition (even if it's only one-sided), and a blossoming romance in a small town. Winnie and Dan are both electricians and there doesn't seem to be enough room for both of them. Winnie is very stubborn and headstrong, especially when it comes to her pride, which is understandable, but she almost takes it too far. Her inability to confide in others and the way she assumes so much is infuriating. Dan is hardworking and kind and can't seem to get Winnie out of his mind. Lucky for her, he's one very persistent man.
I enjoyed the hustle and bustle in getting the town, Harmony (especially Winnie's street), Evergreen Avenue, ready for the Christmas lights celebration. I loved watching her learn to lean on others, as she is alone in the world, and I loved the friendships and connections she has with a handful of people who surround her. Small towns are really the central part of Christmas stories because they inspire feelings of home, love, and tradition, which is why Dan moved here from the city.
This heartwarming tale of hope is all wrapped up with a pretty bow and delivers a sweet holiday punch of love to the heart.
Content: mild romance; very mild language
