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.

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
