Zeker als de O'Briens er iets mee te maken hebben, want aan deze liefdevolle en onstuimige familie kan niemand weerstand bieden...(1) Kerstmis in Chesapeake ShoresNa jaren van verwijdering lijkt het erop dat Megan en Mick O’Brien elkaar weer gevonden hebben. Hun liefde voor elkaar is eigenlijk nooit verdwenen, maar indertijd had Megan geen andere keus dan weggaan, ook al moest ze daarvoor haar kinderen achterlaten. Het liefst willen ze elkaar op oudejaarsdag het jawoord - weer - geven, tot vreugde van hun inmiddels volwassen kinderen. Behalve Connor dan, hun jongste zoon. Hij heeft het zijn moeder nooit vergeven dat ze haar gezin in de steek heeft gelaten en weigert op de bruiloft te komen.En dan wordt er vlak voor Kerstmis aangebeld en staat er een jonge vrouw met een baby op de stoep - een baby die overduidelijk een O’Brien is...(2) Een Ierse kerstHoe aantrekkelijk hij ook is, een einde maken aan haar relatie met Matthew was de beste beslissing die Laila kon nemen. Hun verhouding heeft haar niet alleen haar baan gekost, maar heeft er bovendien voor gezorgd dat ze nu op voet van oorlog leeft met haar ouders. Trouwens, de 'relatie' speelde zich hoofdzakelijk af tussen de lakens, dus veel stelde het toch niet voor. Wanneer Matthew haar vraagt of ze alsnog de kerst in Ierland wil doorbrengen met de O’Briens, stemt ze dan ook met een gerust hart in.Eigenlijk was Matthew van plan geweest Laila in Ierland ten huwelijk te vragen - totdat ze hun relatie abrupt beëindigde. Omdat hij er heilig in gelooft dat ze voor elkaar bestemd zijn, neemt hij zich voor haar terug te winnen. En wat is hiervoor een betere plek dan Dublin, met kerst? Helaas laat Laila zich niet meer zo makkelijk door hem charmeren. Wat Matthew nodig heeft, is een kerstwonder - óf een staaltje typische O’Brien-bemoeienis...(3) Haar eigen kerststerWanneer Bree O'Brien haar vraagt de muziek te schrijven voor de kerstmusical van Chesapeake Shores, besluit songwriter Jenny Collins na jaren weer terug te keren naar het plaatsje. Het is hoog tijd dat ze probeert de banden met haar familie te herstellen. Bovendien biedt het haar de kans Nashville te ontvluchten nadat haar hart is gebroken door de knappe countryzanger Caleb Green. Hoewel Jenny waarschijnlijk de deur in zijn gezicht dicht zal smijten, móét Caleb haar laten zien dat hij niets liever wil dan haar terugkrijgen. Zelfs als dat betekent dat hij een rolletje moet vertolken in de kerstmusical van Bree. Zijn een flinke dosis charme, een romantische ballad en een klein beetje bemoeienis van de familie O'Brien voldoende om Jenny van zijn liefde te overtuigen? less
