So sweet!

Avery is falling for Clare, who is a regular customer in the coffee shop within the building they both work in. A freak accident with a patch of ice leaves Clare concussed and Avery just happened to be the one there when she came around. They act a couple, so the gap in Clare’s memory leads her to believe they are, and things start spiralling out of control for Avery, who worries the longer she leaves telling Clare the truth the worse it’ll be.

Everything about this was just perfect for the holiday season. I really felt for Avery, it was so easy for her and Clare to end up in this situation, and she really wanted to do the right thing but her heart didn’t want to hurt Clare either. They had great chemistry the seconds they interacted and you just knew they were meant to be together. The fact they found themselves in a situation that meant they were but not really made for a really great story with cuteness and drama to make a great story.

Clare was just making assumptions because of her injury and you could tell how much Avery really cared for her by the deliberating and worrying she did. It wasn’t as if she didn’t try to explain, and she certainly kept her distance to start, feeling out the situation and what would be best. Nothing she did was for her own gain, and when Clare found out the truth, my heart broke for them both at what this might mean for them, especially when choices had to be made about the future.

I really enjoyed every second of it and was so happy they got this opportunity, even if it was with the odd bump along the way.2 s Chloe68

Barista and aspiring photographer Avery stumbles into a holiday predicament that is equal parts fantasy and nightmare when Clare, her favorite coffee shop customer and secret crush sustains a head injury that leads to her believing she and Avery are girlfriends. The resulting “relationship” is magical but unsustainable…or is it?

The Christmas Memory is a cute and heartwarming sapphic romance from start to finish. Avery and Clare are endearing, if hapless, characters who make it impossible not to cheer for their happy ending. The surprising and occasionally funny predicament that brings them together is the stuff great holiday romcoms are made of, yet it still manages to feel authentic and fresh. A romantic and festive big city setting and vivid side characters round out the story, making it engaging and fun.

If you’re in the mood for a sweet and sigh-inducing romance to read for the holidays, The Christmas Memory will live up to its name and prove a truly memorable choice.

A nice twist on Christmas!

This is a heartwarming story about an aspiring photographer/barista Avery and Clare, her favourite coffee customer. Each has fallen for the other, but no one has made a move. When Clare suddenly fell on the ice and hit her head, her head injury brings on amnesia which led her to believe they are already girlfriends. And Avery goes along with that!

Author Barbara put a little magic spell on this book for the holidays. Both of these young women are adorable and made me root for their HEA. The secondary characters added lots of fun and great support. I very much enjoyed this clean Christmas romance! Kim231 8

This book by Barbara is a sweet story about literally falling in love. Clare takes a tumble and wakes up to see the love of her life hovering over her, but are things really as they seem. Avery has been crushing on the beautiful woman that is a customer at the coffee shop she works at. When the opportunity for her dreams to come true falls into her life, will she take the chance to follow her heart or will she come clean with the truth.
A wonderful book that is a change from the usual mysteries Barbara writes. She doesn’t disappoint with this story about a Christmas wish coming true. Jamie (TheRebelliousReader)4,476 31

4 stars. Amnesia, Christmas, friends to lovers romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really d the characters Avery and Clare. They’re both likable characters and I d their chemistry. Clare falls and suffers a head injury and some memory loss. She thinks that she and Avery are dating when they’re not and Avery goes along with it as to not stress her out. It’s a very sweet story though I do think Avery kept the truth from Clare for a little bit too long but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment. This is a light and fluffy read and I had a good time with it.

Interesting Romance

This Christmas story is such an interesting romance, I've not read one before that involved medical amnesia. Very interesting. It's definitely worth a nice quick read.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the ending seemed hurried. The problem a little too drawn out and the solution quite quick. But it's still a good story! Michelle Schuler766 11

The Christmas Memory

This was my first book by Barbara Winkes. I loved the sweet Christmas story. Although excellent chemistry, it felt faced paced for the relationship. It had good Christmas activities that I appreciated. Joanna527 12

This was fine, nothing to write home about but I have no big complaints. Mostly i think there wasn’t enough character development to really make me care about them as a couple and be gagged by the amnesia drama. Sandy Souder60 1 follower
