She dreamed of a Christmas wedding. He was happy to oblige. But they weren’t expecting a trip home to change their beliefs. Even though they’ve been living the American dream in Boston for more than ten years, Valerie and Ryan know the best place to celebrate their Christmas wedding is back home in Ireland.

They were only supposed to spend a week in Dublin with their families, celebrate their special day, and go back to their lives in Boston. So when homesickness starts creeping into their hearts, they label it as just a little nostalgia caused by the festive season.

Until an unexpected complication, only days before the wedding, makes Valerie and Ryan realize it’s time they decided where they really belong.

A sweet Christmas romance that will warm your heart all year long, A Christmas Melody is a short sequel to A Love Melody, but can also be read on its own.

About the Author

Grace writes heartwarming stories set in Ireland or in small towns in the United States--two places where she'd love to live while writing full-time. She's also an avid reader who thinks daydreaming should be a paid profession and that the world would be a better place if bookworms ruled it.

Growing up as an only child, she spent all her free time with her nose stuck in books, enjoying the company of fictional friends, while dreaming of becoming an author. Discovering books by Rosamunde Pilcher was the turning point in her life, and she decided to start writing down the stories that kept playing in her head, just for fun. After the first couple of stories, though, she found it impossible to stop--and she's been writing ever since.

Continued story of Ryan and Valerie best friends for life who finally realize they love each other and can't live without the other in their life. One family seemed resentful but the truth is made known.

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017
A wonderful romantic love story. This is the story of two long time friends who find love with each other and want to share with their families at Christmas. The emotions and love in the story keep you warm and interested though out the book. The characters are loveable and this makes it a wonderful Christmas read. I enjoyed the follow up story of this couple. Well written. I received an ARC copy of this book and give this voluntary review

4.0 out of 5 stars readers who liked the first book will love this one.
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2014
Coming in at the midpoint in this series, I was unnecessarily worried about backstories, as this takes Valerie and Ryan’s story to the next level. I will say that Capizzi provided a complex and emotional portrayal of these two characters, filling in moments needed to understand, but working forward as they head back to Dublin to share their happiness with their families.
Interestingly enough, the feared bad reactions were far less of an issue for me than the couple’s seeming fear of discussing what had become foremost in their minds as the end of their visit arrives: just where the rest of their lives would be based.

A wonderful mix of emotion, setting and some truly lovely sentiments, this story was packed with moments to get both your heart and spirit in the season. While it worked well on its own, I have rushed out to get the first in the series to learn more about this couple and their story. I’m sure readers who liked the first book will love this one.

I received an eBook copy of the title from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017
This story continues the love story between Ryan and Valerie as they come home to marry near family and friends. I have not read the other book and was still able to follow this story. I was pulled right in and enjoyed their sweet love story. I always enjoy a romance between best friends because they really know each other. This book is advertised as a clean romance and this book does stay very sweet and clean while still having sizzle. It does however refer to the two having lived together in Boston.
I recieved a free copy of this book when I signed up for the author's news letter. The opinions in this review are all my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful follow up to A Melody in our Hearts
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2014
Valerie and Ryan are engaged, but have yet to tell their parents, who they’re going to visit for Christmas in Dublin. They’ve known each other since they were kids and were good friends since then, but that relationship grew into love when Ryan almost died. The two of them are married in Dublin to the joy of their family and friends. While there, they are reminded of how much family means and must decide whether their future is back home in Boston or in Dublin with their family.
A Christmas Melody, by Roberta Capizzi, follows the story of Valerie and Ryan, from another of her books, The Melody in our Hearts. This particular story is written so that you needn’t have read the first book to enjoy this one, although the first is every bit as amazing. One of the most poignant and heartwarming moments in the book is when Valerie requests Ryan sing the song he wrote for her, but he instead surprises her with a new one. I literally cried. The ending was even better, although I don’t want to ruin it for future readers. This book is a perfect ending to Ryan and Valerie’s story, although I would love to see this couple’s journey continue on in words. Readers of romance will love this sweet story.

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017
This is part two of this collection. Although it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you read book number one first. Not because you will be lost, but because you get the history of their friendship and love for each other in book one. Just like book number one, this is a great book as we see more into the lives of these two sweethearts. Voluntary review of an advance readers copy.

Sweet book, and it gave me a flashback to the wonder of Christmas... Really enjoyed A Christmas Melody, the continuation of Ryan and Valerie's love story. Now on to the next step, and the realization of what they really want to do with their lives.. Some sex inferred as they lived together, but I thought it real and a good, light, read. Worth "cracking" the pages... (Couldn't resist)
I received an ARC of this book and am so glad to write this review.

This is the perfect follow up to The Melody in our Hearts and, I feel, finishes off the story of Ryan and Valerie perfectly. It can, however, be read as a standalone also.

In this story Ryan and Valerie are returning home to Ireland for their wedding. Neither have told their parents who they are marrying due to various reasons. So initially their return is tinged with doubt about whether the news will be received happily or not.

Planning to be back for only 7 days, events soon overtake them. Unbeknown to the other, both begin to have doubts about returning to their life in America. With both of them believing the other would disapprove, are Ryan and Valerie destined to leave their families yet again? Is there any chance they can get together and realise that the other feels the same?

As I said before, this is the perfect ending to a story which I loved and this is an author I cannot wait to read more from in the future.

I loved this story. It is a beautifully written insight into relationships as it continues Valerie and Ryan's story as they journey home to Ireland to share their new relationship with their families. After being friends for years, their relationship developed into something more. While they are home, they realise that while they are happy together, it is important that they be able to share their happiness with their families. Roberta Capizzi is a writer who takes the reader on an emotional journey with the characters. Her characters are beautifully written and developed and in a world of meet and fall in love instantly stories, she is a refreshing voice.
