Ann Cooper does not panic. From her demanding job training horses to her family role of keeping tabs on her high-maintenance sister, Ann remains cool, calm, and collected. At. All. Times.

This holiday season, however, Ann's fortitude will be tested like never before. Not only is she pondering a potential shift in an important relationship, but she's also facing the prospect of riding out an unseasonable hurricane with the doubtful help of her sister Rachel.

This December, Ann's patience and faith will both be stretched. Will the risks involved in taking a leap of faith outweigh the possible rewards?

5.0 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas to ME
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

Even though this novel stands on its own, it definitely deserves a List Review in the style of (and with the abundance of affection for) the reviews I wrote for the other books in the Collapsible series. Because I have to review these books the way I babble about them to my best friend until she reads them.

So.

Spoiler-free list of Some Things I Love About Unseasonable:

-Ann Cooper, who should be at the top of all lists.-Rachel Cooper, who, if placed at the top of a list, would be entirely too likely to fall off and injure herself.
-Christmas Onesie.
-All the banter-y dialogue.
-Very educational about things I don't understand. Like horses. And Florida.
-Sisters!
-Actual Real Life Problems From a Refreshing Point of View.
-Buttock.
-A low-drama human dealing with a high-drama human (and other mammals).
-IT'S FUNNY.

This a book I explicitly WISHED FOR, and when it arrived it blew all my expectations away. (That's not a hurricane pun. I mean, it is a little.) I had a great time with the Rachel books, and Ann kicks it up another lively, too-fun notch. Top shelf novella in terms of quality. Arm-level shelf novella in terms of you'll want it within reach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unseasonable Christmas Drama Makes for a Hilarious Holiday Read
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

Ann has more on her plate than setting up her Christmas tree and getting ready for her sister’s wedding in three weeks. There’s an unseasonably late hurricane heading toward Florida, and she’s in charge of taking care of the horses on the estate she manages. To add to the drama is a colleague who’s endearingly bad at flirting and a neighboring ranch owner who leaves his horses unattended in the storm.

Buchanan continues the laugh-out-loud humor from the other books in her Collapsible series with situations so ridiculous yet life-like we readers can’t help but relate and sympathize. Despite the craziness, her characters approach the unseasonable drama with the assurance that God is in control.

I especially enjoyed the sisterly banter and relational growth between Ann and Rachel. As a Florida girl myself, I also empathized with the unseasonable weather Florida can bring and especially appreciated the idea that Christmas isn’t confined to our seasonal ideals.

Regardless of the climate where you live, Unseasonable is the perfect read for those needing a “break” and some humor this Christmas.

Wow! Still waters run deep. You think you are reading a thigh-slapping, lighthearted novella, and you are, but there is that dose of medicine, that life-giving medicine, that goes down oh so smoothly while you are laughing. I was satisfied with the book, the characters are so endearing, and then I read the last part of the book. I can't spoil it for you, but all I can say is the ending is brilliant. You think you are reading another book of a series (Collapsible, Flexible, Unbreakable), and you are, but this novella stands alone in a very satisfying read. Reader friend; give yourself a present this Christmas. Read Unseasonable while shopping, waiting for those cookies to come out of the oven ( I don't recommend reading while driving to purchase gifts, though.) Your heart will be enriched.

5.0 out of 5 stars We all have that one friend...

A wonderful return to the lives of Ann and Rachel. You can read the Collapsable series to learn more about these characters, but Unseasonable certainly stands on its own. Ann is an unflappable, logical, and grounded person going thru life with a sister that is a happy mess. Unseasonable follows them as they prepare for a very late season hurricane in Florida. The ensuing laughter at the ridiculous situations that have just enough real life touches will remind you of that one friend we all have and how we relate to them. You know the one; anything that can happen will happen and we sit on the sidelines and wonder how this keeps happening. Insert eye roll and comforting hug.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Fun, Sister Story with Hurricanes
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

Ann and her whirlwind sister Rachel are back in action for the holidays--although this time they battle a hurricane. Ann accepts help from her sister as she hunkers down during hurricane Tobias. Ann is in charge of several horses during the storm, but none of them give her any trouble unlike her sister. The sister banter is funny and fresh. and I laughed at the "mole" conversation.
Buchanan adds a romantic interest for Ann and of course, their friend Lynn doesn't leave the sisters in the lurch. I enjoyed Buchanan's Christmas story and all the tumultuous time spent with Ann and Rachel--again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The epilogue is terrific

This reader loved the humor. Ann’s in the horse barn and takes a call from her about-to-be-married sister who announces “I think I might be dying.” Farrier Moss interrupts the call. There were a lot of names at first, amidst a hurricane threat. Ann announces she’ll sit it out in the barn. Her unprepared sister agrees to keep Ann company. Moss offers to help batten down the hatches. A neighbor’s loose horse awakens Ann and what a romp through the driving rain and noisy wind of a hurricane! Upon her return, the power goes out. Ann asks her sister for help.

5.0 out of 5 stars NFun start to the Christmas season no matter your weather!

I thoroughly enjoyed re-visiting Ann, Rachel, and Lynn in this stand-alone story. From the start, the adventure of a Florida hurricane is felt and understood as we join Ann in caring for the horses in her charge and taking some of the responsibility for her sweet, but accident-prone sister.

I enjoyed the sweet friendship-maybe-more as well as the adventure of weathering a hurricane. It’s a fun start to the Christmas season which reminds us that storms in life are best weathered when we aren’t alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the unique setting of Florida in hurricane season.
Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2019

I was pleasantly surprised to find the storyline of Unseasonable focused primarily on two sisters riding out a hurricane. I enjoyed the light tone, the deep spiritual thoughts sprinkled here and there, and the unusual setting of a Flordia hurricane. Ruth did a fabulous job entertaining me the few hours this novella took to read. If you're looking for a holiday read that is a little be different from the rest - this book is for you!
