Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am showcasing A Christmas Courtship by Shelley Shepard Gray. This is the third book in the Berlin Bookmobile series and it releases October 19, 2021.
About the book (from Goodreads):
In this endearing
Christmas tale, a bookmobile librarian knows just the novel to help an
Amish bachelor woo his next-door neighbor in the latest installment of
the “charming” (Carla Laureano, RITA Award–winning author of Five Days in Skye) Berlin Bookmobile series.
A
solitary sort, forty-two-year-old Atle Petersheim spends his time hard
at work in his wood shop. But as the days get long, he realizes just how
lonely he’s become. When his longtime crush, Sadie Mast, a widow and
mother of three, asks him to help her build a room in their barn for her
son Cale, Atle can’t say no. Eager to pursue Sadie at last, he turns to
bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for courting advice. More than
happy to help, Sarah Anne decides the best way to learn about love is
through books—romance novels to be precise.
Between completing
holiday orders for her flourishing food business, helping Cale navigate a
dramatic new relationship with his boss’s daughter, and coming to terms
with the trauma her late husband had inflicted upon her and her
children—not to mention Atle showing up at her door with flowers—Sadie
is in over her head. Though Atle’s efforts are initially clumsy and his
declarations a bit awkward, Sadie can’t help but be charmed by him. He’s
patient and kind...and at times even seems to know far more about
romance than he’s let on.
Another delightful romance about the “transformative powers of love, hope, and faith” (Publishers Weekly), A Christmas Courtship is the perfect holiday read.
