A Prairie Christmas Collection
Christian Historical Romance
Take Me Home by Tracey V. Bateman (Also in Christmas on the Prairie)
A brilliant short story about love at first sight and the power of God to change even the hardest hearts toward Himself! A perfect way to begin this collection!
One Wintry Night by Pamela Griffin (Also in Christmas on the Prairie)
I loved this frustrated, uppity, young city gal who finds herself living in a soddy with a mom, stepdad and two sisters! The whole town just sees a spoiled woman, but this kind and handsome blacksmith knows its love at first sight! I enjoyed their interactions as he tried to woo her and she tried to resist!
Image of Love by JoAnn A. Grote (Also in Currier & Ives Christmas)
Tender mercies include patience in this dear man! God has the gift of love to share with this sweet couple and I loved reading about how He did it!!
The Christmas Necklace by Maryn Langer (Also in Christmas on the Prairie)
I would have liked an epilogue, but I enjoyed this mysterious romance! There wasn’t much time for this couple to bond, but I did enjoy their attraction and interest for each other at first sight.
A Christmas Gift of Love by Darlene Mindrup
From the beginning, I thought Ward was an evil man that Rose must protect herself from. I don’t know if that was the intent, but I’m glad both Rose and I changed our minds about Ward! The ending was very touching!
God Jul by Tracie Peterson
I thought the recipe starting each chapter was frustrating and I just skipped them, but then had to backtrack a few times to find the beginning of the chapter.
The story was good, it just didn’t pull me in.
Circle of Blessings by Deborah Raney
A touching story! A beautiful tradition! I loved how it came full circle! God had a plan from the beginning, and the actors are always the last to comprehend, but in this tale, at least one character’s future was answered! I enjoyed learning about the money. I never knew Christopher Columbus’ face was ever on money.
Christmas Cake by Janet Spaeth
I sure laughed a lot about her escapades buying supplies and making the first cake! A delightful story, and as I read it in the wee hours of New Year’s morning, I felt God leading her quote of Psalms 100:3 to my verse of the year for 2022!
Colder Than Ice by Jill Stengl
(Also in Christmas on the Prairie)
I loved the redemption of Estelle! Such a complete turn around, only Christ could accomplish. I was confused on why the Pastor felt his initial interest in her though. He doesn’t attribute it to God’s purpose. But overall I think it wrapped up this collection well.
