Delightful compilation of three Christmas novellas by three fantastic authors all about second chances for love and reconciliation. Thoroughly enjoyed each story and the captivating characters. I quickly read through each story and found that they left me with a desire to know more and what happens next.The first novella Meet Me Under the Kissing Bough by Josi S. Kilpack is a lovely story about a young widow who decides to hold a house party after mourning her beloved husband. Deborah invites Phillip Dempsey, who was her husband’s good friend and has taken it upon himself to look after her and her three children. Phillip understands loss after losing his own wife and caring for two young sons.. Despite their inequality in rank, Deborah is willing to take a chance on loving again, but will her relatives support her or be a hindrance? This was a thoroughly romantic story of more mature characters seeking a second chance at love. I loved the twists and turns the story takes as Deborah tries to decide if it is worth risking her heart again.The second novella, Healing Hearts for the Holidays by Anneka R. Walker tells the story of both love and reconciliation as Julia and Esmond try to solve a decades old feud between their families. Julia and Esmond are both attracted to each other but see their relationship as doomed unless they can find out what happened all those years ago and reconcile their families. I loved the flirty Esmond and the thoughtful caring Julia. The other characters including Julia’s sister Alice were endearing. This story in particular drew me in and I really wanted to know more.The third novella, A Christmas Correspondence by Sarah L. McConkie is a creative gender swap retelling of A Christmas Carol. When Jacob Morleigh lost his wife, he turned into a different man. His bitter mistreatment of his young daughter Caroline altered her into a haughty, cruel, selfish young woman. Caroline now an adult does not mourn the loss of her father but enjoys her status and money. John Charleston has the unenviable task of delivering letters to Caroline after a promise to his dying father who was Jacob Morleigh’s steward. Each letter is a heartfelt apology offering Caroline the chance for change, forgiveness and even love. John is such a caring, thoughtful person. Caroline is extremely unlikeable at first, but her past makes her sympathetic. Her loneliness is palpable and I loved the way John was supportive and hopeful in her ability to change.Loved this collection and it can easily be read in one sitting. Each story is enjoyable and different while maintaining the theme of second chance love. With great characters and plenty of romance, I recommend this to those who enjoy clean historical romance, and sweet Christmas stories. I received this copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review.
