A Bride for Christmas

The Love Inspired Christmas Collection, A Bride for Christmas, features “two uplifting” Christmas Romance Novels: 

• The Rancher’s Mistletoe Bride by Jill Kemerer
• The Rancher’s Christmas Bride by Brenda Minton

The Rancher’s Mistletoe Bride, the first in the collection, opens with handsome cowboy Clint Romine applying to run Rock Step Ranch for its new heiress Lexi Harrington, who is reeling from the death of her father. Clint and Lexi have an instant attraction to one another. However, they both fight the attraction because of their employee – employer relationship.

In The Rancher’s Christmas Bride, Alex Palermo refuses to turn out like his father. To him that means breaking the cycle of abuse by never marrying or having kids. At least that’s the plan until he meets Marissa Walker, who is stranded on a back road in Bluebonnet Springs. In her wedding dress. In the rain. Without her groom.

Together Under the Tree

The Love Inspired Christmas Collection, Together Under the Tree, features “two uplifting” Christmas Romance Novels:

• The Perfect Gift by Lenora Worth
• Once Upon a Christmas by Pamela Tracy.

In The Perfect Gift, Worth begins her tale a little differently than most modern mainstream romance books I have read. The prologue depicts a man and his two little boys staring down at an unconscious woman asleep in their house. Chapter One then flashes back to show us how Goldie Rios ended up on Rory Branigan’s sofa. Reeling from a breakup, and headed back to her grandmother’s house on icy roads, Goldie crashes her car. Injured and freezing, Goldie makes her way to Rory’s house to escape the frigid weather. 

In Once Upon a Christmas, single dad and widower Jared McCreedy has had his hands full raising his three boys and running his family’s ranch. He hasn’t had the time or inclination to think about another woman. Besides, there’s no one on earth who can replace Mandy.

Maggie Tate is a single mom and widower, who blames herself for her husband’s death, even though he died in Afghanistan. As a result, she’s closed her heart off to everyone except her daughter Cassidy.
