Publisher's summary

Kindle the spirit of the season as four of your favorite storytellers weave tales of love and hope in this charming yuletide collection.

Lord Blakely’s Gift

When Miss Ivy Hunt and Lord Curtis Blakely establish a secret acquaintance, neither can deny that their feelings extend beyond friendship. But as the children of bitter rivals, it will take a Christmas miracle for this star-crossed pair to reach their happily ever after.

A Season of Hope

Following the death of her father, Amelia knows Christmas will be lean. But when circumstances become dire, it is the unexpected arrival of a childhood friend that renews Amelia’s hope - both for the future and for love.

Christmas by the Sea

After two years at sea with the Royal Navy, surgeon Will Crenshaw longs for a quiet Christmas with his family. But when unrest at home threatens to ruin the holidays, it takes the kindly intervention of a mysterious house sitter to remind them of the true meaning of the season.

Expectations at Canterwood

Marina Rowley is a spinster, Richard Stanhope a war-weary military man. A case of mistaken identity throws them together, but the unexpected stirrings of their hearts lead to an unforgettable holiday romance.

Flat Narration, Great Story

It has to be difficult to narrate the nuances of a book on top of voicing the characters. This great collection of stories loses much in the uneven, flat narration. This is my first book with this narrator and she does the book no justice. These are LOVELY stories, full of joy, romance, fun. But I couldn't finish them. For example, Carla Kelly's story has a full complement of wonderful characters, young to old, adult to child. It is set in 19th c Plymouth England in a Naval family. I had to speed up the narration to keep it from sounding like she was reading thru water. There was some attempt at British accents, but they weren't consistent, more pronounced at points, barely present at others. The children's voicing bordered on shrill and was distracting.

Perhaps the narration would be better in a different book. Maybe not. But it fell flat in this book.

Loved the stories.. narration needed a little improvement on a couple of stories

Have no problem with the narrator for the most part but on a couple stories, it seems as though she was trying to do something with an accent minute came across really odd
