A shy soul and an adventurous heart. As the holidays approach, can they find happiness together?
Maria Anne Davis was on her way to an exciting career as a chef in Dallas, until a terrible car accident left her blind. Ever resilient, Maria has reinvented her life on her own terms, starting a business out of her home kitchen, selling her jams and jellies to the local grocery.
Maria loves romance novels, and despite her bold spirit, she fears she’ll never have a big love affair like ones her heroines experience. That is, until she realizes how much she cares about the quiet Wes Whitman, the owner of the grocery.
Wes can’t keep Maria’s wildly popular jam on his shelves—just like he can’t keep the fierce, beautiful Maria out of his thoughts. But how could a firecracker like Maria come to love a shy, nervous man like him? Maybe all they need is a grand affair. Wes needs to convince Maria that some affairs last forever, though—just in time for Christmas.

Summary
A Christmas Affair by Jodi Thomas is a heartwarming Christmas story. Maria became blind after a car accident. She has moved to Ransom Canyon where she makes jams and jellies and sells them at the local grocer. She has a love for romance novels which made her dialogue with the store owner charming. She was also very self-sufficient which made her very likable to the reader. Wes is the store owner and is not your typical male hero. But he was perfect for Maria. He was adorable as he would try to sell her items faster so she would have to come into town to restock them sooner.
The side story with the young boy moving in with his uncles was hilarious and heartwarming. His descriptions of his uncles were entertaining.
This is a great book to get into the holiday spirit.
