Review: The Christmas Swap by Melody Carlson

About the book:

All Emma Daley wants this holiday season is a white Christmas. But the young teacher and struggling musician sure can't find that in sunny Arizona. Luckily, there's someone living in a perfect mountain home in the Colorado Rockies looking to make a vacation trade this year.

Tyler Prescott is an in-demand songwriter and talented musician who put his own singing career on hold to write songs for celebrity acts to perform. When his mother convinces him to do a vacation trade for Christmas, he never imagined one of the houseguests would be so sweet--or so strikingly pretty. Naturally, he decides to stick around, and, to get better acquainted, he poses as the house's caretaker. But when Emma's friend Gillian discovers his true identity and sets her sights on him, things

get . . . messy.

Fan favorite Melody Carlson is back with another delightful Christmas tale to warm your heart on those cold winter evenings.

My thoughts:

The Christmas Swap was a cute Christmas read. I loved the characters and the plot of swapping houses for Christmas was unique. 

I thought the story was written well - up until the ending. It seemed a bit rushed and I just wasn't happy with it. 

I loved the setting and it was fun to read the skiing scenes. All in all, The Christmas Swap was a nice read and I recommend it if you like Hallmark Christmas movies, as it had that same feeling for me. :)
