Inspirational Regency romance with a Christmas twist from three best-selling authors
In Joy to the World, three popular authors come together to offer a heartwarming collection of holiday Regency romance. Based on lines from a beloved Christmas carol, these three novellas in one book have depth, faith, and satisfying stories all packed into the perfect length for readers to curl up and take a brief break from their holiday busyness.
"Heaven and Nature Sing" by Carolyn Miller
Two music lovers, deeply devoted to each other, were on the brink of engagement when family circumstances drove them apart. How can they ever overcome their obligations and fears to find their way back into each other's arms?
"Far as the Curse is Found" by Amanda Barratt
One winter night, a woman struggling to provide for her illegitimate child encounters a scarred veteran of the Napoleonic Wars on the streets of London. Can love conquer the darkness of two broken pasts?
"Wonders of His Love" by Erica Vetsch
A Scots portrait painter with a hidden identity finds work at a noble manor house over the holidays. He never imagined he'd fall in love with the emotionally frozen widow there. Now he wants nothing more than to thaw her heart.
A Christmas house party is the setting of Carolyn Miller's contribution and it is our first lovely view of a Regency Christmas, with its mention of mistletoe, kissing balls, wreaths, and of course, Christmas carols. Heaven and Nature Sing showcases a love that seemed lost until a second chance is offered.
Far As the Curse is Found is a moving reminder that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Amanda Barratt reminds us that hidden hurts and wounds that we carry inside are just as debilitating as the physical scars that are visible for all to see. Jenny and Dwight help each other find healing and possibly, they can experience a future together.
Can a Scottish painter assigned to paint royal portraits help an unhappy widow find a reason to be happy again? Will their different social classes prevent them from pursuing a relationship together? Author Erica Vetsch gives us their wonderful story in Wonders of His Love.
This is certainly a book to read and savor and I loved that the three story titles reference the lines of the beloved Christmas carol, Joy to the World. I recommend it to all who enjoy Christian romance and holiday stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kregel Publications. A favorable review was never required and no monetary compensation was given. These are my own thoughts.
