Christian Historical Romance
What a wonderful Christian Christmas story!
Two romances in one, although technically, God’s love story with us is the main thread of this book!
Part of the Heirloom Christmas Collection, this one really stands out so far!
Feel the love of God and your perfect mate as you let down your guard and just be the you He created you to be! You are lovable, you are worthy of love, don’t let bitterness or past hurt stop you from receiving love from strangers, friends, or family! Merry Christmas!
A very nice story of revival. Five individuals stranded in a snowstorm who are forced to face the pains of their pasts, their unforgiveness, their uncertainties of their own self worth, and, for some, their broken relationship with God. A story of hope and healing and the rewards of being willing to open their hearts to vulnerability and the love of God and others. Do not be mislead by the simplicity of the title. It is more than a Hallmark Christmas tale!
This is a wonderful clean romance! What a great story of Hope. The characters are great. I enjoyed reading about Dottie, Gordy, Violet and Jake. It is amazing how when we finally can see the big picture we can see the Lords hand in our lives.
“He kissed her, and in his touch, she tasted their tomorrows as snow began to drift like fairy dust from the sky.”
It’s almost Christmas and a blizzard has descended on the small town of Frost, Minnesota. The beautiful home of Dottie Morgan has been invaded by her neighbor, fellow librarian, a soldier, and a young child. She does not want them there, her heart long frozen after the death of her son in the war. Providence has other plans, as they are trapped together until the storm passes. Will the storm be the beginning of the ice melting from her heart? Can she learn to forgive and let love flow once again? What of the others trapped there with her…what plans does fate have for them?
Oh my heart….what a truly wonderful and heartfelt story. It has all the feels and tissues are definitely needed for this one. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays as, for me, it is all about magic, family and love. Reading this book you will be showered with all of that and more…
I will admit that I wasn’t sure I liked this book as well as most of Susan May Warren’s writing when I started it, but if you give it a chance like I did, I think you will find it has lots to give you a good Christmas read and put you in a great Christmas mood. There are only 4 (then later 5) main characters in this book,, which felt like a play to me, although there are a few peripheral characters, also. All of the main characters have things going on in their lives which make it a chilly Christmas but by the end, they have all learned so much about loving others and loving God, and how He works, hat you you know they will truly have a wonderful Christmas!
