Reviewed by Kimfor Read Your Writes Book ReviewsBecca Huntley, Jack Whittaker and Tyler Petersen were all best friends in high school. In fact, they were like the Three Musketeers, one for all and all for one. But Jack was different from Becca and Tyler. Jack was the poor kid of the school janitor and the other kids never let him forget it. When he finally graduated from high school, he couldn't wait to leave Minneapolis and swore he would never return.Fast forward ten years and not only is he returning to the Twin Cities, he's there to direct a Christmas play being produced by Becca. A play that Tyler was supposed to direct until he decided at the last minute to check into rehab. Did I mention that Jack has hated Christmas since he was a child? Jack and Ty are business partners so Jack has no choice but to rearrange his schedule and the production schedule to fill in for Ty.So far so good. My problem with the book is Ty's parents. I understand their first appearance in the book, but that should have been that. Honestly, they probably shouldn't have even been in the book at all. Jack and Becca are at a crossroads in their lives and are making discoveries about their high school days and the part Ty played in their lives. This Christmas could be the Christmas that Becca and Jack are finally pointed in the right direction, free to follow their own dreams, and get everything they've ever dreamed of.I'm a big fan of Christi Barth so it really pains me to say that I didn't like this book. I found it to be enjoyable at times and other times truly frustrating. Tinsel My Heart is a friends to lovers/second chance romance story that could have been so much more.Source: Author
