My Review:
 Just as the holidays are beginning to approach, this is the time when I start thinking about all things related. So My family and I have already started our pumpkin muffins and hot chocolate tradition because that's how we roll. Christmas is the best time for family and An Amish Christmas Gift is the novella to accompany us on this "sweet" tradition.

Naomi s Gift by Amy Clipston
 Amy Clipston can really give you a good story to sink your teeth into. She does it rather well and we see that in Naomi's Gift. A story about a twenty something girl that feels there is no hope left for someone like her to find true love. But as the story goes, you find love when you least expect it. And so it goes for this young lady when she meets a young widower that instantly melts her heart.

An Unexpected Joy by Ruth Reid
 Abigail is just fine with being an old maid. Every guy that has even looked her way she manages to scare off. She seems not to be troubled by this, but deep down I feel for her. And I think it just plain old hurts when a guy won't stick it out to get to know her a whole lot better. Soon Abigail receives what she may of needed all along in the way of Micah Zook.



A Christmas Visitor by Kelly Irvin
 A sweet Christmas story to enjoy. I liked this one the best because of the cozy feel. The author made it feel like home and I think it resonated more with me than the other two. But each story was equally brilliant. Frannie receives a welcome surprise this Christmas but will she feel it's so welcoming when Rocky shows up at her Aunts home to plead his case?

 Each story is perfect for a cozy read under a blanket accompanied with some warm coffee cake and a cup of hot chocolate by the fire. To welcome in the holiday season, An Amish Christmas Gift is the book for you!

**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Book Look.
