Mistletoe Season

Title: Mistletoe Season

Authors: Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, Pepper Basham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Chrsitmas

Source: Library

My Review:

Mistletoe Season has three Christmas novellas in it. I had not read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I have loved several books by Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. I went into it thinking I could skip a story if I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't necessary because all three stories are wonderful.

My Review:

All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes is a sweet, quick read. There is some drama (expected for a reality TV show), tender moments, and a few grand gestures. My favorite part is the ending.

A Guardian Till Christmas review + giveaway

 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Guardian Till Christmas by Danielle Thorne, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: A Guardian Till Christmas
Author: Danielle Thorne
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 22, 2024
Genre: Inspirational Romance

My review:

Kylee is used to being in full control, until her sister and brother-in-law unexpectedly pass away leaving her in charge of their four-year-old twins. Kylee is determined to care for them by herself despite Evan's willingness to help.
I am all about being independent, but her stubbornness was very frustrating. It made her an unlikable character.
