My Review:

I've loved every book I've ever read by Allie Pleiter, and His Christmas Wish might just be my favorite yet. This heartwarming story speaks of grief and healing, and the importance of love, friendship and His unfailing grace; all set to the backdrop of the Christmas season.

I personally love stories where children play a big part, and I adored Cole's role in bringing Jake and Emma together. When Cole's parents are killed in a tragic accident, circumstances result in his bachelor uncle taking temporary custody. When he realizes he's bitten off a bit more than he can chew, the church preschool recommends that one of the teachers, Emma, gives him a hand at home with Cole for awhile. Soon Jake and Emma realize that feelings are starting to develop between the two of them, but with both of them recovering from tragedies, can they truly ever work through everything to find the plan that God has ready and waiting for them.

If you're looking for the perfect clean, faith based read to curl up with this Christmas season, then look no further than this one. Everything about this book kept me engaged in the story, and I could barely bring myself to put it down. Definitely a new holiday favorite, and one I will for sure be picking up to reread in the very near future.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much to Allie Pleiter for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
