I really enjoyed the Amish Christmas Twins, 3 novellas in a “twin” theme. I am very familiar with two of the author’s works, but was new to Loree Lough. I enjoyed all three. It was fun to read about twins and all that surrounds them, especially the mischief!
The stories deal with loss, Christmas Spirit and are all heartwarming and enjoyable. Christmas is a joyful time, and these stories all included happy endings. I love Amish fiction and these stories were definitely good examples of this. I especially liked the second story.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.
Amish Christmas Twins
By: Shelley Shepard Gray, Rachel J. Good, & Loree Lough
Three wonderful and heartwarming short stories about three Amish families by three different authors. These stories involves twins and the hurt , trials, challenges they go through. Each story touched my heart. At times there was tears in my eyes, other times joy.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, but was not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.
An enjoyable book set in Amish style well written and warm
Well worth reading
This is such a perfect trio to welcome in the holiday season! These three tales are loaded with second chance romances and deeply rooted issues that are laid to rest. If you love the allure of the Amish and adore sweet and clean romances, then you’re sure to love this collection! It shows the fault of pride and that some love never dies. I loved that the focal point was the reason for the season. Love comes in all seasons and there is always hope after a loss. This reinforces the value of faith and God’s love.
Each story in this book touches the heart. From tragic loss to new beginnings, the characters are interesting and relatable. Tears and joy fill the pages. I received a complimentary copy of the book. No review was required.
