My Review:

Clearly my carefully stashed Christmas-to-be-reads aren't going to make it unread until Christmas 2020. This one accosted me as I was working on organizing one of my suspense shelves. She clocked me in the eye, screeching "Forget that lot. Read me!" So I did. :-) If you win this giveaway you can try to set it by for the proper season or play it safe and give in and read it right away. Your choice. Bwahahaha!

A lovely Christmas collection by some much loved authors. I love the way each novella showcases the warmth and love of family at Christmas. Life isn't simple but faith can be and these authors have illustrated that with heartwarming stories that set a gentle holiday mood.

An Amish Family Christmas by Leslie Gould -- Has all the feels I need in a Christmas story. A young woman struggling with meeting the expectations of her large extended family while nursing a wounded heart. Plenty of characters to love on and a few to hold grudges against just to spice things up. And a betrayed love that might have a chance at mending. Love the way the author weaves in the advent tradition of counting down to Christmas.

An Amish Christmas Recipe Box by Jan Drexler -- Christmas baking is definitely the way to a man's heart...at least that's what Ada is hoping. Only what if her culinary magic strikes the wrong man? A heart-tugging romance about mistaken expectations and the wisdom of looking beyond the surface to assess the measure of a man...or woman.

An Unexpected Christmas Gift by Kate Lloyd -- An unexpected plot tugged at my heartstrings. Maria's world has been shattered and an impulsive journey into Amish country has her poised on the brink of self-discovery...and the possibility of romance.  The first person narrative brought a sense of urgency to her story and kept me on edge right to the very end.
