FINDING FATHER CHRISTMAS /
ENGAGING FATHER CHRISTMAS
Two novels in one book
In Finding Father Christmas, Miranda Carson's search for the father she never knew leads her to England where she's welcomed into his family as a stranger to them. She quickly grows to love them but wonders if revealing the truth about her father will threaten the bonds they've built. One thing is certain, this Christmas will change the future for both her and the family forever.
In Engaging Father Christmas, Miranda Carson spends an English Christmas with her boyfriend, Ian, expecting that she'll soon find herself engaged and the charming village of Carlton Heath will be her forever home. But as word of Miranda's true identity spreads beyond the family, all of her relationships are soon threatened. Will Father Christmas have a redeeming gift in story for them all?
My Review
published in 2016
Psssst...this is where I hang my head in shame and confess this is my first experience with Robin Jones Gunn's novels. Wwwhhhaaatttt?! I know, I don't understand it either but I'm glad I'm newly acquainted and that my introduction comes via two Christmas reads!
They really read as one, though, in that the first book ends with lots of loose ends and just the hope of romance, which are all picked up again in the second book. I'm just as happy that I got to read them back to back rather than languish with a whole year in-between. :-)
Heartwarming, seasonal stories that pack an emotional wallop. Loved Miranda's journey to finding herself and her Savior through an impulsive jaunt to England in search of her family roots. It isn't anything like she imagined -- sometimes worse -- but eventually better than she could ever hope for. Happy sigh!
The perfect holiday read for fans of classic Christmas tales by the likes of Melanie Carlson, Richard Paul Evans and Debbie Macomber.
