About the Book

Title: Together This Christmas
Author: Beth K. Vogt
Publisher: Story Architect
Release Date: October 13, 2025
Genre: Sweet Small-Town Contemporary Romance Christmas novella (spiritual thread)

What if true love is only a text away?

Mila Maxwell is happy with her life in New York City. Her boyfriend Zane is perfect for her – and yes perfect means he offers her the stability she’s always wanted. Zane’s also not threatened by the endless text thread she keeps with her best friend, Ben Kendrick. Why should he be? They’re friends, nothing more.

Christmas is coming – a holiday she’d much rather skip – and Mila’s the maid-of-honor for her college roommate’s December wedding. When disaster strikes the wedding coordinator, Mila rushes to Colorado to save Angie’s big day and plunges headfirst into all the marital falalala.

As Mila works the details for Angie and Charles’ wedding, Ben steps up to help. After all, he’s the best man and someone in his life should have a happily ever after. This may be Ben’s last chance to convince Mila that they were meant for more than long texts and short video chats.

Mila must confront her fears about love and choose: Zane, who offers her the security she’s always longed for, or Ben, who has never given up on her. What if her true love has always been one text away?

My Take:

This heartwarming tale of friends leading to romance is a wonderful holiday read. The small town vibes remind me of my own small town beginnings. The author uses great storytelling techniques to draw you into the story and characters.

The main characters, Mila and Ben, are best friends who work together. I loved that Mila had a past with Zane that did not include her faith, so that she could see that she could have love and faith together. Poignant moment!

It is important to note that the author definitely has crafted this tale with love and details that support the outcome. This isn't a loosely designed novel, this one took some time and it shows by word choice, sequence and the narrative between the characters. Bravo, Ms. Beth.

I highly recommend this book, Together This Christmas for the sweet story, the author's craftsmanship and the beautiful holiday vibe that it gives! 4☆
