Gnomebody but You
[d-prc13475]

5 of 5 Stars As an author who thrives on weaving tales of redemption and whimsy, and a reader who's devoured more holiday romances than I can count on a single advent calendar, Susan M. Baganz's Gnomebody But You swept me into its enchanting world like a fresh snowfall on a Wisconsin evening. This whimsical Christian rom-com follows Tali Shadowgrace, a resilient heroine clawing her way toward healing after fleeing an abusive ex, only to land smack in the midst of TrueSpark Trucking's merry chaos. There, she collides—quite literally—with Puck Bellpepper, the delightfully earnest mechanic whose three ironclad dating rules (including one hilariously fixated on height) had me chuckling from page one. What elevates this tale beyond the typical tinsel-and-trucks setup is its quirky (in a great way) gnome-infused lore, courtesy of Puck's meddlesome twin sister Quincia, whose schemes add layers of suspense and sparkle without ever tipping into farce. Baganz masterfully balances heart-pounding sabotage with tender revelations, all while threading in faith's quiet assurance. It's a sweet story that reminds us that we are cared for and looked after, even when the road ahead feels riddled with potholes and pint-sized pranksters. If you're craving a holiday read that leaves you grinning, sighing, and believing in second chances, snag this gem—it's the perfect fireside companion for December's chill.
