This was a re-read for me and I enjoyed it. I read another one in this series earlier in the Christmas season - Christmas Belles of Georgia - but I enjoyed this one more. This one takes place over the course of four years at the Barncastle Inn where they have themed Christmases. The first book has a medieval theme, the second one WW2, the third a pirate theme and the last one is the first Christmas when Jesus was born.
I really liked the idea of different themed Christmases and it made the books interesting. Two of the stories have very fast romances which I don't really love but I still enjoyed the overall story. The second two stories the people already know each other which I found much more believable.
Overall though I found the stories enjoyable and completely clean which is nice. The writing was pretty good for the most part.… (meer)

I really enjoyed reading this book! The setting of Prince Edward Island is serene and picturesque!

The characters are fabulous! I love their personalities! Susan has a real gift for writing characters that are easy to like! Molly is my absolute favorite! She's humble, a hard worker, and lovely on the inside and out! Peter is hunkaliscious! New word that I made up! He's also humble, a true servant, and loyal.

The love story is sweet! There is a bit of a mystery, and I liked how it played out.
A definite must read!… (meer)

I love historical novels and have read many set during WWII. This one was set at the onset of WWI and it was very interesting to learn about cryptography. I will say that a lot of it went over my head and I skimmed a bit because I couldn’t understand it. But the actual storyline was good and it kept me guessing with a few twists. There’s romance and it was done well, not to sickening, just enough for me.

I encourage you to read the Author’s Notes at the end and learn what events/places were real and what was not.… (meer)

This is the second historical ChristFic Christmas romance novella I've read in a row. I was quite drawn to the fact that this one features a couple in their autumn years.

This was my first time trying this author, and I found Amelia and Lennox's journey to have a simplicity and down-to-earth sweetness about it. Pleasant to read about, not too corny or saccharine.

On a minor note, some of the story's details seem either a little inconsistent or repetitive in a couple of spots, and I didn't much care for Helen's character. I understand she's been deeply hurt in the past, but the level of her rude and stubborn behavior over it makes me suspect she may often be like that about other matters that upset her too.

Nevertheless, I found this to be an easy and agreeable tale overall, and I plan to read more by this author.… (meer)
