Wishing on the Stars by Lori DiAnni

Genre: Small town sweet contemporary

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

Chloe Sweet, a small town bakery owner and single mom to Sophie, has one wish on her Christmas list this year: to win the local Christmas tree contest so she can purchase a new oven for the bakery. Chloe loves Christmas in Misty River, Maine, despite the fact the man she loved had left her on Christmas Eve, five years ago. As she prepares for Christmas, she asks Sophie what her Christmas wish is. Sophie tells her she wants a daddy!

Tyler Anderson, a talented photojournalist and world traveller, is not a fan of Christmas and doesn’t believe in wishes coming true. He had made a wish a long time ago only to have it break his heart. For five years, Tyler has avoided Christmas and the small town of Misty River, Maine because of the painful memories. But now he’s returned to the little town to help his ailing grandfather. As Christmas approaches, his grandfather makes a wish to have Tyler settle down and raise a family.

Can Chloe and Tyler bury the hurt of the past to make their loved ones’ Christmas wishes come true?

Why did you write this book?

Wishing on the Stars is Book 2 in my Misty River series, which focuses on a couple I introduced briefly in my first book, Dancing in the Grass. I wanted to write a second chance love story based on how a simple Christmas wish, made by a little girl, who only wants a daddy for Christmas, brings two broken hearts together. I love the idea of wishing on stars, (which I still do!) and believing and hoping that what you wished for may come true, if you truly believe it in your heart. I used a small town setting because I grew up in a small town and loved it! It’s as simple as that. My inspiration comes from the town I grew up in in Massachusetts as well as the small towns surrounding where I live in Maine. When I plotted out this series, I knew it had to be based on this small town.

What is your favorite genre to read?

Small town sweet contemporary romance, but I also love time-travel and historical romance.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

Oohh, this is a hard question and I’m going to be vague and maybe cliche’. I don’t have a favorite to speak of. I guess my favorite character is the one I’m reading about at the time. There are too many to pick out one favorite.

What are you working on at the moment?

Nothing at the moment. I’m taking a break for Christmas and waiting for the release of Wishing on the Stars, which will be available December 21st. Although, I have to say, I’m plotting, in my head, the next book in my series, Dreaming of Sunsets. A writer is always working, right?

What books will we see from you in coming months?

Dreaming of Sunsets is Book 3 due for release in June of 2022 and then Falling Inn Love, Book 4 due for release in October of 2022. I’m also planning on releasing two novellas—but not sure when. One will be a wedding novella involving a couple from one of my books in the Misty River series and the other novella will take place during a winter storm involving a character who has had a very minor role in all four books in the Misty River series. I’m giving him his own book this time.
