A short, sweet Christmas read, filled with humor and misunderstanding.
An delightful Christmastime romantic comedy, great for kicking back and relaxing. Perfect for fans of sweet romantic comedies and holiday movies.
Emma Daley agrees to accompany her friends on a Christmas vacation house swap, she is more than happy to go somewhere snowy and cold for Christmas. I loved her friendship with Gillian, despite the ups and downs, she loves her for who she is and is a great friend.
Singer-Songwriter T. West Prescott, is on his way to a vacation of his own, but after mistakenly leaving behind some important music, he stops back at the house, meeting Emma and the Landers family, and decides to stick around.
This is a sweet, romantic comedy of a read, with fun characters that are all too relatable at times. One of my favorite characters ended up being Grant, who is just all-around a nice guy. I had a great time reading this book, it was fun, heartwarming, and romantic. It put a smile on my face. I really enjoyed it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
My Review: The characters stand out in Ms. Durgin’s delightful novella!
Jake Marston knows what it’s like to be burned when it comes to love, but he can’t help but find himself drawn to the charming, and engaged, sister of his friend, Julia. How can Jake love the woman of his dreams when she appears to be engaged to another?
I absolutely LOVED this charming Christmas novella. That characters were well developed and that dialogue was just excellent! I loved how the conversations and teasing between the characters was warm and natural, pulling me into the tale.
All of the characters really popped out at me and even though the story was short the main and secondary characters were so well developed. I couldn’t help but chuckle at Picasso and Caroline’s fiery love/annoyance relationship 🙂
An utterly charming book from beginning to end. I don’t want to give away too much in this review, so I definitely recommend that you check this one out!
I received this ebook from the author in return for an honest review. Thank you!
My Review:
Christmas is an exciting time, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hoopla. But Bob, Larry, and the rest of our favorite vegetables want you to know that the real reason that we celebrate Christmas.
A vibrant read, that flows swiftly in rhyming verses that talk about all the many things that we do at Christmas time, and the most important reason for it all. I loved the brightly colored illustrations that made this book really pop. It was a fun quick read, great for sharing with the next generation of Veggie Tales fans.
I loved the simple but important message of remembering Christ’s humble birth, and the hope to a fallen world that He brings. Definitely great for young ones, and would make a great gift.

My Review:
High School sweethearts reunite before Christmas, could this be their second chance at love?
Reese Markowski has returned to his hometown to work with at risk youth and dogs. He hires his ex-girlfriend, single mom, Gabby to work for him, they reconnect, but will the secret about her daughter keep them apart?
It is uncomfortable for Reese and Gabby at first, seeing each other after so long, and on the terms that they had broken up. Gabby is excellent with the children, and has big ideas to help the program. While Reese finds himself bonding with Gabby’s young daughter.
I really enjoyed this story, it had a lot going on with the kids, dogs, Christmas program, and the relationship between Reese and Gabby. I also really liked the side characters, like Nana and Jacob.
Overall, a heartwarming Christmas read about second chances and love. I really liked how everyone just falls in love with Izzy, especially Reese and Jacob. Enjoyable read, definitely recommend!

Lucie’s Review:
Winter Kisses — Naomi, her mother, and her grandmother all live together, Naomi’s mother, Barbara, and her grandmother, Ruth, are widowed, and Naomi has never married. They decide to rent out their daadi haus to some men who have moved to the area for construction jobs, Wayne and Jethro are widowed, and Eli is the youngest.
Ruth is quite the character, opinionated and unstoppable in her search for a husband. Wayne and Barbara are surprised by their attraction to each other, and Barbara is hesitant at first, but Wayne’s constance and patience win her over. While Eli and Naomi find love too.
I loved the humor in this book, that made it a very quick and enjoyable read!

A cat shows up and makes himself right at home, and a group of young people get snowed in with Emma. The cook, eat, and recount stories. I loved how considerate and kind the young people were to Emma, while they were snowed in with her.
Snow Angels–Molly and david have been courting for over a year now, and she’s been dropping hints, but he hasn’t seemed to notice. But when a girl from David’s past shows up and and he can’t seem to keep his eyes off of her, Molly wonders if this is the end for her and David.

Home for Christmas–Ellie’s father was Amish, but when she was young, her mother took her away and they lived in the English world, but when she inherits her aunt’s farm in Michigan she gets a chance to go home for the first time. She doesn’t know where she’s going so when her GPS directs her to the wrong house, she meets Allison and her father, Ezra who live there. Allison bonds with Lulu, Ellie’s dog, and even seems to be able to sense oncoming seizures. But Ezra thinks that Lulu causes the seizures. As Ellie get’s used to her new home and reads her aunt’s journal, she comes to understand some things that she has been looking for all along.
I loved how different all the stories were and how they all came together. I loved Grandma Ruth, Emma’s visitors, how Ellie finds a home, and Snow Angels was my favorite with how it all came together in the end! Fantastic Christmas read for fans of romance and Amish fiction!
