If you like Valerie M. Bodden, Kimberly Rae Jordan, Rachael Bloome, and Liz Isaacson you will love this holiday romance packed with feel-good moments, a Christmas message, and a sweet romance.

Only one thing can bring love into Carter’s life – a Christmas miracle!

Carter decided years ago he didn’t need anyone in his life. As a successful author with no need to venture into the world, he embedded himself in his comfortable Greenwich Village apartment and became a recluse.

After an unsuccessful year of writing, he decides to leave New York City for the holidays and go in search of inspiration. A remote country guesthouse in England seems like the ideal place for him to write his next story. He plans to hide away from yet another Christmastide and the painful memories it evokes. But some things are beyond his control. The fiercest storm in years is hurtling towards Cumbria. It will blanket the area with snow and bring everything to a halt, even bringing down the power lines and cutting off the electricity.

The landlord’s daughter entices him out of his shell when she asks him to help keep the villagers warm. Carter is about to have his world turned upside down as the real reason for Christmas makes itself known.

Can Laura and the villagers melt his frozen heart?

A White Christmas in Berrycombe is a small-town, Christian romance with a whirlwind of festive magic and mistletoe!

‘This is the best Christmas story I have read. The characters are real, the timeline is current, and it exemplifies what Christmas and community should be like all year long.’ Amazon Reviewer

‘This is a sweet romantic story, but so much more. Carter, Bill and Laura learn beautiful truths about the power of love, community and friendship.’ Amazon Reviewer

Tracy’s vivid imagination is poured into creating stories. Her main genre is Christian Fiction, but she also writes YA Fantasy and Standalone Romances. The most used word in her reviews is ‘heartwarming.’

When she was growing up, Tracy thought she was stupid. Later in life, she learned she had dyslexia. Her younger self had no confidence and when she left school her first job was washing up dishes in a restaurant. She moved on to become a waitress and then a chambermaid. At the age of forty, she decided to go to college and study accounting. Within a few years, she became a finance manager and her self-confidence blossomed.

Each time one of her books wins an award or ends up as a finalist, she is filled with joy. And sometimes when she reads her reviews she is overwhelmed with emotion. From not doing well at school to writing books that people enjoy reading, feels like nothing short of a miracle to her!

This book swept me away on a heartwarming holiday journey. Carter, a recluse author searching for inspiration, unexpectedly finds warmth and love in a quaint English village when a snowstorm disrupts his plans. The story unfolds with a perfect blend of festive magic and mistletoe, creating a cozy atmosphere that resonates with the true spirit of Christmas. Carter's character is relatable, and his journey from isolation to connection is beautifully portrayed. The small-town setting adds charm, and the power outage due to the storm sets the stage for heartwarming moments. The romance between Carter and Laura unfolds organically, adding sweetness to the narrative. What struck me most about this Christmas romance is its ability to convey the essence of Christmas and community values that extend beyond the holiday season. The book captures the magic of love and kindness, making it a perfect read for Valerie M. Bodden and Kimberly Rae Jordan fans. I wholeheartedly recommend it for those seeking a cozy, heartwarming escape into the spirit of Christmas.

It's the perfect short novel for holiday romance, faith, and encouragement. If I can picture the characters and surroundings in my mind, I think the author has done a good job of laying out the book. I could definitely do that with this one! I also appreciated the faith-based Christian perspective.

I've been reading Christmas novels for years & years, too many novels to count! It's one of my favorite times of quiet by myself. But this new, to me, author T N Traynor, & her book, A White Christmas in Berrycombe, is the best I've ever read, this side of the Christmas story. It lifted my spirits so much, that I had to share it before I had even finished it...so I sent copies to some family members. Please take the time to read this book! And Ms. Traynor, you have my never ending thanks for such a GREAT book, and a love for our Lord! Blessings to you!

A Christmas story woven with references to current events and circumstances in the world, filled with hope and prayer and love! A great story to read anytime but especially during the Christmas season. I loved all the characters and the setting in a small town in England. A very enjoyable book I plan to purchase again as gifts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cozy Christian romance.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024

“A White Christmas in Berrycombe” is what I would call a cozy romance with strong Christian overtones. If you’re looking for action-packed realism, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for a sweet, delightfully predictable story where everything goes along just as it should, you won’t go far wrong with this one. Nice book to curl up with in a comfortable chair near a fire. Outside of needing another round of editing (especially for a tendency to put two separate sentences together without any punctuation, causing back-tracking for the reader) it’s a good read. If you omit the period after “fire” and run it together with the next sentence, you’ll see what I mean – is the fire outside? More importantly to me, the author does a good job of developing her characters, which kept me reading to the end.

As an individual with a deep affection for everything related to Christmas, I found this book to be incredibly satisfying. It delivered a heart-stirring and romantically charged Christmas tale that resonated deeply within me. The author's skill in vividly illustrating the characters was truly remarkable, giving them depth and realism that made me feel connected to their journey.

The plot was nothing short of fantastic, expertly woven to keep my interest piqued throughout. More so, the narrative managed to emphasize the true meaning of Christmas, serving as a poignant reminder of what the holiday season should represent for each one of us.

Upon finishing this book, I was left with a profound sense of the Christmas spirit, making it an unforgettable reading experience. The festive ambiance it created was intoxicating, amplifying my excitement for the holiday season. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the joyous Christmas vibes, this book is an absolute must-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faithful Charming And A HeartWarming Story Of Love and Compassion and Faith!
Reviewed in Australia on March 11, 2023

Triggers: child abuse, abandonment, death of a loved one, war struggles shown, social anxiety shown.

Note: also very faith based - so fair warning to the atheists.

I loved reading Carter and Laura’s story.

I could relate a lot to Carter’s life - not his adoption, but the independence struggles, his anxiety, his very few people to depend on, his moods - I could relate to all that and more.

Certainly his type of cabin chosen was also something I thoroughly understood. I mean who wants to be reminded of tragic memories? Not this gal or guy for sure. So I understood it too.

But I also loved the people there. Specially Laura and her father bill - ever giving advice and being kind and generous to Carter. And I understood them too in their own struggles. I connected so deeply to them.

One thing though - was it was hard to connect to the constant Christian proverbs thrown on my face. Perhaps marketing it as a Christian women’s fiction would’ve been a better choice. As me being from another religion, sometimes just got annoyed a little with the whole religious sentiment.

But I loved this novel overall. The side characters were also huge tons of fun - I wished all of them had their own plots too. The romance was barely there, as also the chemistry - sometimes it read more like a historical or regency novel but a little less heavy on the romance. But this is womens fiction so I understand. I loved the cozy setting and wished more than once I could live there (living with my family can sometimes be a hilarity in itself). Plus how they discussed real world issues - I was just so down for it. I loved it!!!!

I loved this novel and cannot wait for more!

A joyful read with warm-hearted characters. A perfect holiday escape filled with passion, joy, and empowering messages.

‘A White Christmas in Berrycombe’ is a sweet romance set in England. Thirty-nine-year-old Carter, a storyteller hates being around people and he is unable to show his emotions but a Christma’s miracle brings love in his life and changes it for the best.
Moving out of his comfort zone and taking the courage to be open to the possibility of happiness, Carter learns to trust people around him and be joyful. Laura’s kindness, warmth, and affection turns his pain into compassion, and his sorrow into a soul-builder. I loved it!

This charming book ticked all the boxes for me. I wasn't expecting a lot from it, but that really turned out to be my mistake. Characters were believable and engaging, plot was well constructed and also believable, and the subject of a person mending his shattered life, always enthralling, had me almost holding my breath at times. The matter of the hero's childhood trauma was handled sensitively and with delicacy, which is an area in which many writers fall down, but Traynor nailed it. The book is impeccably presented too, another area in which many writers nowadays fail.
It's a beautiful piece of Christian fiction, but if read purely as a romance, it works very well that that way too. Five stars and I'll definitely seek out more from this author.

I usually lean towards thrillers and whodunit but somehow I managed to download this gentle book. I am so glad I didn't simply discard it. Most of the action takes part in a very small village. Each character finds a place in you, making you think you actually know them all. I laughed and cried with them and was so thrilled when things went well. Read it and enjoy, I did.thank you Amazon.
