Created for Christmas (A Sweet Little Holiday Romance Book 1)

I love the uniqueness and creativity of Ms. Schultz’s stories! Even with the incredible settings and premises, I always find her characters well-developed and relatable. Ivy and Dayton are both really sweet and their personalities so realistic. Though this is a quick read, its message will stick with me; not least because I found it so entertaining! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Ivy’s family… their traditions and dynamics. Being a total animal lover, I was enthused by the inclusion of Ivy’s dog as part of her family, too 🙂 Then there was the humanoid – what a great concept Ms. Schultz developed! I was entirely taken in by the idea as she described it (and don’t actually think it would be impossible for something like that to be created at some point not too far off). All in all, a sweet, fun entertaining read!

I loved this story!! Joynell lives up to her name because she does indeed bring joy to her readers every time they pick up a book of hers!!

I love to be immersed in her books! I feel so much better every time I pick up one! I returned today from the dentist with a numb mouth and wondered what I could do to feel better. It was a easy question to answer as I picked this book up and spent a delightful few hours reading a wonderful story! I now will start tomorrow by reading “Validated by Valentines “ the next book if you will after this one.

Joy’s faithful readers know how good her books are and I would hope my glowing review would inspire young and old alike to pick up a book of hers and give it a read! You will find what I already know that you’ve found a author you will never want to stop reading! Her books are inspirational, funny, page-turners, books that will make you want to be better and wish the whole world would change their collective hearts of hate and embrace love and kindness to their fellow men. What a wonderful world indeed it would be as Satchmo so lovingly sang back in the 1960’s with “Wonderful World”!

If you want to feel good again please do yourself a favor and pick up this book or any of Joy’s books for that matter and see why she has so many devoted readers. Your outlook will be more optimistic and not pessimistic s a result of spending some hours enthralled by her stories!

I was drawn in from the beginning of the first page of this book. It is a great story and quite entertaining and engaging there are totally unexpected scenes, twist and turns with realistic details.

This book is a lovely read. Even though it’s fairly short, the story line is very engaging.

Wow the perfect man is the perfect Christmas gift to give yourself. Almost human, well yes but if you do not want your heart broken then almost human is good. Then again, being human means we can love and feel joy when we are with a special someone who is also human. Which would you choose?
The characters and the plot were truly fascinating and fun. You will fall in love with the family and the traditions. A very heartwarming Christmas story that brings out what is truly important, family. You will be glad you read this book.

Created for Christmas – Another entertaining, heartwarming story from Ms. Schultz. This is a well written, interesting story with good storylines that kept me immersed until the last page. The characters are likable and realistic. This quickly read, sweet story is the perfect for a relaxing spell with a cuppa and a furbaby curled up next to you. 4*

Blood & Holy Water: Angels of Sojourn, Book One – I couldn’t put this book down without a fight. Another well written, well thought out story concerning an unusual vampire (I like what was done with this character) and a wingless angel. Enemies with the same goal, but different results gained, work together to solve the deaths of potential angels and murdered vampires, and the ties between the two groups. The characters are realistic and both have morals and ethics. The angel goes a little gray, but there’s so much involved in her decisions in trying to help the humans and potential angels. There’s intrigue and suspense, and the book moves at a fast pace. There’s sexual tension, but no sex – thank goodness this author treats angels as angels not sex starved humans without morals – and very infrequent vulgar language. 5*

Magical Connections – A collection of novellas, short and spin-off stories. They were well edited with interesting characters and suspense and intrigue, and touches of romance. Even the stories that were part of a series, could be read without knowing any other book from that series. There are no cliffhangers or continuations to another book for the rest of the story, while I certainly enjoyed. I’m looking forward to reading more of Ms. Schultz. 4*

Fangs & Fairy Dust – I enjoy Ms. Schultz’s stories, which I discovered in Hexes and Ohs, and was happy to find this collection. This is a well written and believable novella introducing the Angels of Sojourn series, of which Blood & Holy Water is the first book. The main characters, a male vampire and a female human and her mother, are interesting and believable, along with action and dialog. It is fast paced and contains vivid descriptions making everything easy to visualize. Fortunately, it is not a cliffhanger. 4*

The Mail-Order Bride – I read this little story in Hexes and Ohs, my first by her. It’s a new twist on a witch’s tale, which makes for a cute and intriguing romance. Entertaining and enjoyable. 4*

Hidden – A lovely, heartwarming novella about discovery, love and kindness, and loneliness. Searching for her baby’s father leads a pregnant fairy to new adventures and learning experiences, and a vast change to her life, while she shares her godmother skills without her magic. There’s plenty of humor and danger included in this sweet story. 5*

The Enchanted Apothecary – A sweet, romantic, little story where while grieving for her mother, she has suspicions of a male customer and his use of dark magic, and how she confronts him. There’s a good balance of suspense, intrigue and romance. The ending brings a big smile when the truth is told. This story is similar to the romantic stories of the superhero wives world. 4*

One Possible Future – I read this short in the Angels & Magic: Bonus Collection. An interesting, well written, quickly read story between a psychic and a fallen angel and the possible futures awaiting them. The next story is available in the Wings & Wonder boxed set. 4*

Bitten – A sad but heartwarming short story of a mother’s love for her small son bitten by a werewolf. The lengths she went to keep him safe. This is a spinoff from the Angels of Sojourn Series. 4*
Magical Connections end.
