Holy Night:
One sinister phone call has derailed their wedding. Will they let it tear them apart forever?A Christmas wedding on the beach—what could be more perfect? Poinsettias and fragrant pikake blossoms, soft sand and mistletoe, the gentle sound of the surf and the wedding march played on a ukulele. This wedding has been a long time coming, with Bane’s trust issues and Leia’s worries about her childlike sister, Eva.
Now they can hardly wait for the day to arrive. Thrilled to be a bridesmaid, Eva keeps trying on her ruffled dress. The tent is reserved, the caterers paid. Everything is going as planned—until Leia’s phone rings and her world skids out of control. A muffled voice informs Leia that Eva’s been kidnapped and will be killed unless Leia calls off the wedding without explanation—and no police! If she disobeys instructions and tells Bane, she’ll risk her beloved sister’s life. But how can she ever handle this without his help? And how can he ever trust her if she lies to him now?

My review.
Leia is finally going to have her dream wedding. She has always worried about her sister, Eva, but she is falling into her role as bridesmaid very well. Just when everything seems to be just right, one phone call changes their lives forever. The person on the other end claims that he has Eva, and in order to save her she must cancel her wedding and not tell anyone why, even the groom, Bane. If she does not follow the directions they will kill her sister. She has always felt that Bane cannot trust anyone and all she can think about is her sister. She has to decide if she can go it alone and risk losing everything and everyone important to her by following the kidnapper's rules. I was hooked by this novel and loved the suspense. How much would anyone do to save her sibling? How strong is family loyalty? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
Silent Night:
As Christmas day nears, Bree and her faithful search-and-rescue dog Samson follow the trail of a troubling mystery into the snowy forests of Rock Harbor.
Bree Matthews is preparing for Christmas guests, but her heart is reeling from the recent and tender loss of her unborn child. Her sister-in-law, Lauri, suddenly turns up on the doorstep of the lighthouse home Bree shares with her husband, Kade, in Rock Harbor. Secretive and withdrawn, Lauri seems curiously intent on discovering what happened to a parachuter who disappeared in the North Woods along Lake Superior’s icy shore.
As Bree and Samson, her search-and-rescue dog, plunge into the search, Bree wonders if Lauri may know more than she’s admitted about the parachuter. And then the clues lead them to the trail of a young woman whose family fears the worst about her disappearance.
Will the search on this snowy, silent night lead Bree and Samson to more than clues about the missing girl? And will Bree’s prayer for a baby ever be answered?

My review,
What a nice story to read during the holiday season. It was a short novella but, it was a very interesting one. The author Colleen Coble has once again given us a story of family, love, faith and a mystery to solve. The characters are so vividly explained that you feel as if you want to jump right in and help them because they are your friends. I really loved the way that they all work together, even the dog Samson. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.

About the Book: Inspired by a true story, A Christmas Gift for Rose is a heartwarming novella of sacrifice and deep love.

But she is overwhelmed by self-doubt when she learns the truth of her birth. She was born Englisch and abandoned when her family moved West in search of work. Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind---Englischers? And was her intended's gift of discovering her birth family given out of love or fear?
Don't miss award-winning author Tricia Goyer's first Christmas novella.

Wow! What a beautiful story. It is hard to believe that this was based on a true happening. Rose has grown up a happy girl except for the nightmares she cannot figure out. She loves her Amish life so much so, that she cannot even think about being a dreaded Englisch person. she cannot decide if she should be Amish which she loves and follow her intended path or embrace a new future. I really was hooked from the beginning because I had to see which life she ending up choosing. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.

Anna Byler is a young woman of faith. Her grandfather who is the bishop has decided that there are many rules that she must follow. She sees herself denying her faith even as she even as she struggles to do what she wants to with her own life. She meets a newcomer to her county and she finds herself trying to have happiness with him. Jacob has a loyalty to his family that is taking all of the life out of him. When he meets Anna he cannot even let himself feel anything since a horrible event that has happened to his family. The only was to share anything is to get away from her grandfather's rules. Will Anna begin to have faith in God again or will it and any chance she had with Jacob be lost. This is a story that has secrets that are kept causing many problems. I really liked the characters of Anna and Jacob and I was very interested in their story. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and al opinions are my own.
