Review: This
collection is just as wonderful (if not more so) as all the other Timeless
Collections. The authors have put together some fun and poignant stories. Sarah
M. Eden has created another one of her funny, sweet Irish stories in A
Christmas Promise. You will love the fun that Patrick and Maeve have together
along with her protective older brothers.
Heather B. Moore’s Twelve Months will have you cheering
for the true gentleman in Lucien. Cora is a sweet heroine who recognizes her
knight in shining armor in Lucien. Their courtship is fun and sweet.
A Fezziwig Christmas by Lu Ann Staheli, is a fun take on the
historical romance stories, it’s fun to watch the growth of both Dick and Cilla
in the charming short story.
In A Taste of Home by Annette Lyon, you get to relive just
how annoying ‘boys’ can be and what happens when they grow up to be men. Sweet
and sentimental.
My Modern Girl by Becca White was fun and interesting. I
liked that she thought she knew exactly what she wanted, but found out what she
thought and what was real were actually two different things.
Lucinda Brant’s Fairy Christmas was really interesting in
that there were actually two romances happening in the story. I enjoyed the
misunderstandings and the real life things that happened in the story to make
the people real. This was a fun Christmas romance.
You will be entertained by all the stories in this
collection. The authors do a great job of being real and fun. You and your
daughters will enjoys these stories and put you in the mood for romance and
Christmas.

Offered a home under the generous roof of her relatives, the Earl of Salt Hendon and his countess, Kitty wants for nothing, not even the affections of Mr. Tom Allenby. But when Kitty stumbles across a letter written by Lady Caroline that reveals how Mr. Allenby would be ruined should he marry the likes of Kitty, she realizes she has been fooling herself all along.

His only requirement is to drive a team of high-spirited nags from Dublin to Kilkenny in a certain amount of time. Unfortunately he winds up in a muddy field, stuck, lost, and running out of time. He’s about to lose the job before he can prove himself capable of finishing his first assignment. When Maeve Butler arrives on the scene, Sean isn’t sure if she’s intent on rescuing him or bent on torturing him with her fiery wit and lovely dark eyes.

Will’s last request is that Lucien watches over Cora, not just as a benefactor, but as a husband. When Lucien does his duty and proposes to Cora, he’s turned down flat. But over the course of the next few days, Lucien discovers that marrying Cora wouldn’t be any sort of duty after all, but a matter of following his heart.

As she rides the train with William Rhodes, who grew up across the street, memories of Christmases past flood her mind. He may be twenty-one now, but she can’t forget his torturous teasing from their school years. At the rail station, Claire discovers that her home is under quarantine because her little brother has measles. She's stuck in town, away from her family, on her favorite holiday.
