Must Read Christmas Collection

A beautiful collection of Christmas novellas that you will place on your keeper shelf and revisit year after year. These are heartwarming stories by three of my favorite authors that are filled with faith and unique circumstances that make for an engrossing read. I love the cover and how it speaks to me of shining a light in the darkness even when going through difficult times. Each story takes place in the 1800’s and have characters that feel like family when you are finished. Each story develops well even though they are short. The only drawback is you wish there was more. I was drawn into the Christmas season just by reading each title and after reading each was so fitting for that particular one. A great collection you will definitely want to put on your holiday reading pile. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/Bethany House Publishing. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

Historical Romance

On A Midnight Clear by Tracie Peterson, Karen Witemeyer and Misty M. Beller is a Christmas novella loosely based on the Nativity story. All three short stories are set in the late 1800’s. Romance at Christmas; what more could you ask for? Vincent needs a mother for his two kids. Noah and Hope have a mystery to solve. Frank must convince Stella that she is more than just outward appearances. A great start to the Christmas season! I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
