Brings Christmas Joy

I was well pleased with all four of these romance novellas that left me wishing they were longer as I didn’t want them to end. I know they are supposed to each be a quick read but I enjoyed them so much that I was like more please. I don’t want to elaborate on each one separately as it would spoil them since they are short but I found each compelling for different reasons. I loved that Lucy was raising her Down’s syndrome sister and held out on romance until they could be a package deal. Makayla and Wyatt are an example of how important it is to have open communication so that assumptions and lies don’t cause unnecessary pain and confusion. I loved young Jacob and how he helps his dad find love again. I wanted to be a part of the Wickey family as I found their deer farm fascinating. All in all this is a great collection that gives you that warm fuzzy Christmas feeling. I highly recommend adding to your Christmas reading list as soon as possible. You will be glad you did. I received a complimentary copy from the author. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

Delightful

5 stars, Delightful A LANCASTER AMISH CHRISTMAS: 4 ROMANCE NOVELLAS by Anne Blackburne This delightful collection of novellas are just the thing to put you in the mood for Christmas, no matter the actual time of the year. LUCY'S CHRISTMAS SUNBEAM by Anne Blackburne Lucy Beiler, age 21 is raising her baby sister Millie, age 2. They have lots of other, older siblings, but Lucy feels called to raise her precious sister.

I like the believable way these two loving Amish people come together against all odds. This is a novella, but you feel like you are there experiencing their lives with them.
