Get in the Holiday spirit

Three wonderful “get you in the spirit” novellas by three award winning authors. The Shepherd’s Heart by Tracie Peterson Angel’s fiancé ducked out on her the day of her wedding. Thinking “now I’ll never get married” a voice came to her and told her “yes you will by Christmas”! Angel’s adopted granny next door started a match making scheme for Angel and her grandson Vincent, a widower with children. With some planning Angel headed out west to marry. But obstacles came between them along the way. Would their’s be a Merry Christmas? No Room at the Inn by Misty M. Beller A stagecoach trip strands passengers at an inn stop. Snow falls making it impassable as well as the driver being injured and unconscious. Hope and her brother try to make the guests as comfortable as possible as Christmas nears. Noah must sleep in the barn since there’s no more room in the inn. The disappearance of a family heirloom adds mystery to their situation. Will a Christmas miracle happen? A Star in the West by Karen Witemeyer Three mathematic professors from Harvard come west to lecture at a local college. Stella and her father welcome them with dinner at their home. Frank and Stella had been writing letters back and forth before they met and found it awkward after meeting. A misunderstanding causes confusion but will a Christmas miracle be in store for them? I found all three of these stories to be heartwarming and seasoned with just the right amount of Christmas cheer. Almost enough for me to start decorating…but not quite yet. I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher through Celebrate Lit but was not required to write a review.

This festive collection of Nativity inspired Western Christmas novellas is the perfect cozy read for the coming holiday season! Karen Witemeyer, Misty M. Beller, and Tracie Peterson all featured charming, romantic, and heartfelt Western tales of Christmastime, and all three stories featured unique ways of acknowledging the Nativity in a historical romance short story. My favorite was Karen Witemeyer’s clever nods to the Magi in the form of three “Wise Men” (aka Harvard Professors) coming from East to Texas for a symposium at Baylor University. I loved this peculiar and endearing scientific hero who is head over heels in love with his pen pal Stella! Their love story is sweet and funny, but not without its adventure and realistic problems. Countless little nods to the Wise Men will have you laughing throughout this short story too! Let’s not forget Misty M Beller’s swoon-worthy forced proximity romance with nods to “no room at the inn,” and Tracie Peterson’s marriage of convenience story with ties to the shepherds watching their flocks by night. All of these stories were so romantic and inspirational! This collection is absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend it for your reading list this coming season! I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. My thoughts are my own— I really did love it!
