Carla Kelly's Christmas Collection Blog Tour


I know it's October, but it can never be too early for a good Christmas story. Stories that foster good will and peace on earth are always fun to read and they keep the Spirit of the Season with readers all year long. I'll read them in February if I find a good one.  This is one of those good ones. Actually, it's 4 of those good ones. 

A collection of short Christmas stories brings to life the regency era and reminds us that romance and love don't only happen under the sun, they can happen under a blanket of snow too! 

It's not surprising that Ms. Kelly is able to write four very different women and their equally different romances. She's had plenty of experience in the writing and publishing world. She's written over 34 novels and won multiple awards. Her experience comes across in the way the words come together on the page. 

I'll admit, I'm a sucker for a clean romance. I think my heart beat sounds like the flapping of pages. This Christmas Collection fed my romantic nature as well as my appetite for a good book. I think it would make a wonderful gift for a friend or for yourself this holiday season.

My Loving Vigil Keeping


Book Summary from Amazon:


Della's giving up all the comforts of bustling Salt Lake City to teach school in a rural coal mining camp. Little does she know, she may soon be giving up her heart as well. But when tragedy strikes the Scofield Mine, Della's life will be changed forever. Based on true events, this thrilling new romance from award-winning and bestselling author Carla Kelly is a must-read!



My Review


I have to agree with the summary, this is a must read.!By the time Christmas snow falls in the canyon I was as much a part of the family of coal miners as Della. Their loss felt like my loss as well. I loved the amount of details included. It was just the right amount. Not so much that you started skipping paragraphs but enough that you could picture life in the small town, train rides that took your breath away, and a handsome widow who could steal your heart. I'm planning on recommending it for my book club selection this year.  

Here's the link if you'd like to purchase a copy. Happy reading.
