Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul

Donita K. Paul has captured a heartwarming story of love and the holiday spirit in Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball as two very unlikely people fall in love and teach each other about true love.

Mysteriously, two lives are crossed. Cora Crowder, a simple living young woman that is estranged from her family and Simon Derrick, a seemingly serious family man. Cora lived her life simply, not taking risks. Even her process for buying Christmas presents was logical and carefully planned. Simon, a man of two sides, focuses carefully on his work but loves his family dearly. When both travel to the mysterious Sage Street to purchase Christmas gifts they had no idea that a group of eccentric shopkeepers would be planning a trip for them, a trip to the Wizards’ Christmas Ball.

Cora is scared when Mr. Derrick, her bosses’ boss, decides to ask her to attend the Wizards’ Christmas Ball with him and his sister Sandy she gladly accepts. Eager to find a ball gown to wear, the shop keeping sisters, Bonnie and Betty Booterbaw, are more than glad to help her find the perfect gown; with perhaps a touch of magic.

This beautiful book has an easy reading style and is such a great story to pick up and read. I personally enjoyed the portrayal of different personalities that came across the pages so clearly. Ms. Paul was careful in crafting characters that would appeal to a wide audience.

I can see most people enjoying this book, whether you are looking for a love story, a Christmas tale, or a story of magic and mystery. You will find what you are looking for in Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball.

Ms. Paul does a fabulous job of mixing whimsical elements in this heartwarming Christmas story of fate, true love, and the true bond of families. Where wizards and servants come together at a magical ball, to bring joy to so many ordinary people. As you read the novella Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball, you can find the true spirit of Christmas gracing the pages of this magical tale.
