THE GIFT OF FAMILY by Irene Brand (1 star) CHILD IN A MANGER by Dana Corbit (5 stars) THE GIFT OF FAMILY by Irene Brand (1 star) – Not long after twentysomething college students, Wendy and Evan, get engaged, Evan gets a call from home that his father has had a stroke. Evan leaves Florida for Ohio, not only to visit his father, but to take over the running of the family farm in his father’s absence. Evan’s family, the Kessler’s, invite Wendy to come and spend the Christmas holiday with them so she can be with Evan. This story didn’t work for me at all and the storyline never grabbed me. I didn’t like Wendy much. She seemed immature, selfish, not very in love with Evan, and she constantly focused on the negative. I also couldn’t understand why Evan never shared his future plans with Wendy that he would one day be running the family farm. She was surprised to find it out and couldn’t deal with the thought of being a farmer’s wife. This story was too overly religious for me. It seemed that every move or thought that the Kessler family had was steeped in religion. This novella hit all the wrong buttons for me. CHILD IN A MANGER by Dana Corbit (5 stars) - When a baby is discovered in a live church nativity scene, social worker Allison and police detective Brock work together to try to find who abandoned the infant. Not only do Allison and Brock find that the baby is tugging at their heartstrings, they also find themselves falling in love. This was such a cute, sweet, and heartwarming novella. I really liked both Allison and Brock. Allison thought she would never find love. Brock was abandoned by his mother as a child and never knew his father, so he found himself emotionally involved in the case. I found the premise of the story interesting in this very enjoyable Christmas romance. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
