Meet Me Under the Kissing Bough is a sweet story about love after loss. Two fully grown adults try to find their way to love during a house party that she is hosting. Expectations and society make it difficult for them to be together, but love can find a way.
This story made me smile. I loved the stolen moments between the couple.
is a little more complex. For some unknown reason, two families have been at odds for years. After the marriage of Julia's older sister to Esmond's older brother, you would assume that the relationship can be mended. If anything it gets worse. The two work together to uncover the secrets while falling in love.
Esmond knows what he wants and it is Julia. He seemed like a character that is fun and sincere. He has a playful side that helped Julia trust him and let down her guard while they are together. This is a story that includes a bit of a Christmas miracle.
A Christmas Correspondence has a young lady who has not been treated right in the past and lets everyone know she is not happy. She is a terror to the young men who become her acquaintance. She belittles everyone around her and thinks she is superior. Letters from her deceased father help her find a new way to live.
I didn't realize when I started this book that it was a twist on "A Christmas Carol." I started to put two and two together as I progressed in the story. There were enough changes that made it its own story. This book shows that lives can be changed and hearts softened.
"Meet Me Under the Kissing Bough" was fine. Having middle aged protagonists was an interesting, but it also made for a bit slower story pace.
"Healing Hearts for the Holidays" was my favorite of the three stories.
"A Christmas Correspondence" was so slow and it was painful to slog through the story. I understand that some people do change, but I really didn't like Carolyn, and her story didn't make me like her more.
Content: clean. No profanity or sex.
The first novella was Meet Me under the Kissing Bough by Josi S Kilpack. This was a lovely story about finding love after loss. Deborah Winfrey was learning to love again after the death of her husband. This was super cute and I loved reading about Deborah falling in love again. She loved her family and she wanted to be happy but she also wanted to make sure that her family was provided for.
The Second novella was Healing Hearts for the Holidays by Anneka R Walker. This was also amazing! I adored this story about Julia and Esmond as they tried to heal their families' broken relationships. They fell in love unintentionally but they were so cute together and fun to read about. Their conversations were a lot of fun and it was sweet to read about them coming together to help their siblings.
The third novella was A Christmas Correspondence by Sarah L McConkie. This novella was a lot of fun because it was a reimagining of The Christmas Carol. It was a new way of looking at the Christmas Carol and I loved it! The characters were awesome and I found myself cheering for them. Especially the hero of the story, John Charleston. The romance was sweet and it was lovely to read about Caroline changing and growing.
All of these novellas were lovely books. I enjoyed them all immensely and I don’t know if I could pick a favorite, they were all that good. Meet Me Under the Kissing Bough was a sweet book with lovely characters and interesting stories. I would totally recommend this collection of novellas. And I am excited to see what else these authors write!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.
