The Christmas Gathering by Shelley Shepard Gray and Lenora Worth


 A CHRISTMAS REUNION by Shelley Shepard Gray

Tricia Troyer is thrilled when Brandt Massey, 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, Andrew 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, Andrew 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 Thoughts...
First let me be honest, after reading this I am in the mood for winter and Christmas this book really set the mood.
I devoured We Gather Together by Worth and was in awe the family drama and the forgiveness and love, this story brought out. I was so sad this was a novella not a full-length book. But it was great to be left wanting more. Then I read A Christmas Reunion by Shelley Gray, and it was just as good. I love and believe in Christmas Miracles, so this was right up my alley. Again, I didn't want the novella to end so fast.
This is a book to put on your reading list for this Christmas. You will devour it just as fast as I did, I'm sure.
