The Christmas Gathering by Shelley Shepard Gray, Rachel J. Good, Lenora Worth

 

A CHRISTMAS REUNION by Shelley Shepard Gray
Tricia Troyer is thrilled when Brandt Holden, her cousin’s English friend, joins the Troyers’ holiday gathering for the second year in a row. The sparks between them are clear to everyone. When Brandt asks Tricia to be his girlfriend, they both know she’ll have important choices to make about her future. But the two aren’t as different as some believe—and with open hearts and understanding, their very own Christmas miracle just might be  
possible . . . 

WE GATHER TOGETHER by Lenora Worth
When Lucas Myer meets Kayla Hollinger on the shores of Lake Erie, he’s smitten. Their families are even staying at the same inn, for different gatherings. The two plan to meet again—but soon enough they discover a problem: their relatives are locked in a longtime feud and forbid them to socialize. Fortunately, Lucas and Kayla are old enough to make their own decisions—and they decide to create a Christmas miracle of forgiveness and love . . . 

HITTING ALL THE RIGHT NOTES by Rachel J. Good
Years ago, Mark was banished by his Amish family when he chose a career in music. It still hurts, especially during the holidays. And now, just before Christmas, he and his band find themselves stranded after their manager absconds with their money. Desperate, Mark is offered a job teaching piano—but that’s just the first miracle. His work will not only bless others in need, but a longtime fan might just capture his heart—and even lead him home.

My Review


Three Christmas holiday romances, by three of the authors that I follow!
We get to attend a big reunion, and a fun scavenger hunt, thrown in opposites attract, non Amish and Amish, is it possible to go anywhere?
Then an Amish wedding, and a family reunion, two different events, but then add in an attraction, and a family feud. Oh, my sparks fly from a lot of directions!
The final one has some rebellious Amish teens, a music group, and a young woman defying her parents and going out where she shouldn't. Some recurring characters appear here, and full of wisdom, we watch as world get torn upside down, but with a glimmer of hope!
I enjoyed these quick reads!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.
