Christmas in…June?

June 10, 2025 By Julie Klassen 5 Comments

My publisher just sent me a new Publishers Weekly review for my next novel, A Sea View Christmas, which releases on September 2, 2025. A positive PW review is always a gift, and I’m grateful!

…fans will appreciate the reappearance of the lovable cast of characters, and it’s gratifying to watch the two wounded souls at the book’s center haltingly work their way toward love. This ties up the series with a sweet and satisfying bow.” —Publishers Weekly 

A Sea View Christmas is now available for pre-order from most retailers. More information HERE.

In the meantime, here’s a description of the novella:

With a promise to her youngest sister, Sarah Summers declares that this year’s Christmas at Sea View will exceed all expectations. But an upcoming trip to Scotland—and the prospect of becoming reacquainted with dashing widower Callum Henshall—blows a flurry of doubts into her mind. Sarah had discouraged his attentions before yet soon finds herself once again torn between attraction and duty, as alluring thoughts of a second chance at love weave their way into her practical heart.

Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Georgiana eagerly anticipates the exciting Christmas of her dreams after last year’s dull, disappointing holiday filled with endless chores. She enjoys all the promised parties, music, and dancing, but is taken by surprise when young love comes knocking. Does the festive romance of a Sea View Christmas hold the key to a happily-ever-after for both sisters?

I hope you will enjoy the new book when it releases!

    Look forward to reading it! I appreciate your publisher for the sneak peek excerpt of your Christmas novella at the end of “The Seaside Homecoming.” While it’s subject to change at publication, it was a lovely read!
