lead to love all because she returned a brooch. Sarah and the woman's
grandson is what starts this family journey and legacy first in England and
then to United States.
Karen
Witemeyer's novella Gift of the Heart takes us to Texas with widow Ruth
Albright with a story that is a bit a retelling of the story of Ruth from the
Bible. Ruth will do anything to keep a roof over her daughter's head, even
giving up her family heirloom brooch in order to do it.
In A Shot at Love by
Sarah Loudin Thomas Fleeta Brady is a bit of a tomboy who prefers hunting and
being outdoors to more lady like chores. After losing both her parents she's
given up on love. But her mother's brooch and another hunter mite just
have other ideas.
The final novella in
this bind up is the Contemporary one by Becky Wade Because of You.
That is set in the world of Bradford Sister's Romance series. Maddie Winslow
who works for her friend Britt Bradford has found herself falling for her
friend's widower Leo and his adorable toddler son. She keeps fighting her
attractive because it's not right. Then the heirloom brooch
reappears and someone makes their feelings known.
This was a fairly
quick novella collection read. I liked the stories but Because of You was my
favorite mainly because it is part of the Bradford Sister Romances series and I
was already new characters. All in all a quick read. With a slight Hallmark
channel Holiday movie feel.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
