perpetual winter of Isabel’s heart may just begin to thaw.
My Thoughts:
Christmas Forevermore is a collection of four enchanting
stories that take place during the Christmas season. If you are looking for
enchanting stories taking place during the holidays or just looking for sweet
romance, don’t miss this collection.
A Family Christmas by Sally Britton is a story about finding your place in the
family. Cyril Grant has been estranged from his late father’s family since his
mother’s remarriage. Now, years later, he and his sister are welcomed back into
their father’s family, and while his sister fits in well, Cyril feels out of
touch and out of place. However, his grandmother’s companion, Jane Allen,
mesmerizes him, as everyone seems to love her. She is a stranger, not part of
the family. How does she fit in so well? And how is she getting him to open up
as well? A story of a found family.
Christmas Forevermore is a very clever retelling of A Christmas Carol. There
are no ghosts in this one, but I enjoyed how author Eden pulled in the past,
present, and future. Minna is not necessarily a Scrooge, but she is a character
that has been through a lot of sadness. She and her three closest friends are
somewhat set in their lives. They all need to have their eyes opened to see
what is right before them and to start some positive changes in their lives. I
really enjoyed seeing all the similarities with the original tale.
Christmas at Cranfield is about two good friends who are in love with one
another. But Hannah and Samuel never seem to be able to express their feelings,
especially when one or the other is bound by promises, duty, and family
expectations. This is a slow-burn romance between two people who are absolutely
meant to be together, but they must admit to themselves first that their
happiness is worth fighting for.
A Thrill of Hope was probably the most romantic for me. Here we have two
childhood acquaintances meeting up again after many years. Isabel is quite
surprised to see that her escort to her aunt’s home is none other than the very
serious Robert. Through a travel adventure to her aunt’s home and the bad
weather, these two find themselves forced into one another’s company.
Avoidance, teasing, and flirting will somehow bring these two together under
the mistletoe.
I was provided a copy of these novellas from Covenant Communications through
Interviews & Reviews. I was not required to post a positive review, and all
views and opinions are my own.
Sounds good
