In Kristi Ann Hunter's "Legacy of Love," Sarah Gooding never suspected returning a brooch to an elderly woman would lead to a job . . . and introduce her to the woman's grandson, a man far above her station.
In Karen Witemeyer's "Gift of the Heart," widow Ruth Albright uses the family brooch as collateral for a loan from the local banker. But the more she comes to know the man behind the stern businessman, the more she hopes for a second chance at love.
In Sarah Loudin Thomas's "A Shot at Love," Fleeta Brady's rough-and-tumble childhood means she prefers hunting to more feminine activities. She never expected her family's brooch might be how a fellow hunter turns her attention from competition to romance.
In Becky Wade's "Because of You," Maddie Winslow has spent years in love with a man whose heart was already spoken for. When a church Christmas project brings them together and she stumbles upon an old family brooch, might it finally be her turn for love?
Oh my word I love this collection like sooo much I’ll probably read it again closer Christmas
Three of the authors are well known to me and are ones I absolutely love…1 was knew to me and I liked her.
2 of the stories were smack dab in the middle of their current series and I loved that sooo much!!!
With Sarah we got to see one of the older kids from Haven Manor all grown up. I was sooo excited to see what happened with Her and how her life turned out. Such an amazing story! And to have her employer be the one who started it all was amazing.
Ruth, I loved her, and Naomi she was too cute…bunny trail here but did you see who the story was dedicated too?? I’m part of her posse and while I can’t remember what details i voted on it was exciting to see it dedicated to us!! Okay back on the main path.
I loved Bo and teddy was just a special cat!!! I could just keep gushing but you get the jist… I loved everything about this story
Fleeta she wasn’t your typical female and I loved that she loved to hunt and shoot..my biggest issue with this story was I wanted more about that ghost deer…at the least I wanted them to see it together and decide not to shoot it.
This was a great story though and introduced me to a new author and I plan to read more by her!
Now Maddie, she’s Brit Bradford’s best friend and if you know me you know I absolutely love the Bradford sisters. It was soo good to see them all and see what went on between the between Willows book and Brits book(coming out next year) now I remember a mention of Maddie’s crush on Leo But I don’t remember many details on when it was mentioned and whatnot I think at the time Olivia and Leo were just dating, so Maddie buried her feelings. Kinda love the way this one played out!
Have you read this one? Do you read christmas books all year round?
About Becky Wade
During her childhood in California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She’s been a fan of all things romantic ever since.
Becky and her husband lived overseas in the Caribbean and Australia before settling in Dallas, Texas. It was during her years abroad that Becky’s passion for reading turned into a passion for writing. She published three historical romances with Avon Books, then put her career on hold for several years to care for her three kids, then recently returned to writing sheerly for the love of it. She felt led to move to the genre of contemporary Christian romance and couldn’t be more thrilled with it.
These days Becky can be found failing but trying to keep up with her housework, sweating at the gym, carting her kids around town, playing tennis, hunched over her computer, eating chocolate, or collapsed on the sofa watching TV with her husband.
