About the Book:
In this Christmas collection, Weise men still seek Jesus--and love
Best-selling romance authors Caudill, and Strong follow three generations of the Weise family in this third collection of Christmas novellas from Kregel that will prove just as popular as the previous award-winning volumes.
"Star of Wonder" by Crystal Caudill
The Christmas-themed maiden voyage of his family's grand steamer ship was supposed to be Aldrich Weise's chance both to instill investor confidence and to romance Celestia Isaacs. Instead, he must foil a criminal and leave his lady love behind forever.
"Beauty Bright" by Cara Putman
Lieutenant Charles Weise served as a Monuments Man after World War II and now works to restore stolen art to rightful owners. Captain Lillian Thorsen pairs up with him not only to return treasures but also to fix the war-torn lives around them.
"Perfect Light" by Angela Ruth Strong
Essential oils mogul Brendon Wise is drawn to Lacey Foster, the event planner for his huge Christmas lights festival. But when he inadvertently makes a spectacle of her on television, Lacey wants nothing to do with him. Will a chance to give gifts to those in need at Christmas be the key to discovering common ground--and maybe love?
About the Book:
I always enjoy reading a collection of novellas. They are short and you get to read new to you or beloved authors' stories.
Star of Wonder- Danger, romance, and life-changing decisions on the high seas. and Aldrich search their hearts to see how they can make their love endure the familial obligations of the Weise family. 4 stars
Beauty Bright- An interesting story based upon the actual events of the Monuments Men (and women) who were tasked with returning stolen artwork from people during WWII. This includes looking for the lost treasures. The tie into the lost heirloom, the family name, and the biblical account of Jesus was perfect. 5 stars
Perfect Light- This story is loosely based upon of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as Lacey is a single mom who is pregnant. She has to decide on whether she can accept help and the love of Brendon Wise. 4 stars
The weaving of faith and the multi-generational stories of the Weise family was unique. I thought it was clever to not only use these things, but also the allusion to the Magi (the three wise men) throughout each of the stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
