A Haven For Christmas by Patricia Davids Review

 Hello Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you probably already know how much I love Amish fiction. It continues to be one of my all time favorite genres, and I'm always excited to get to dive into new stories within this genre.

A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of getting to read an Amish Christmas story by a new to me author, and today I can't wait to tell you guys all about it.

Keep reading for my full review.

A Haven for Christmas by Patricia Davids:



Source: Gift From My Hubby

Publisher: Love Inspired

Publication Date: November 1st, 2020

Genre: Christian Fiction/Amish Fiction

Series: North Country Amish


Synopsis:

An Amish widow. An Englisch cowboy. And a Christmas to remember.

An accident landing an Englischer on Becca Beachy's farm isn't quite the peaceful Christmas she expected. But with the widow struggling after an emergency, Tully Lange's help is a blessing. Now Becca's determined to give the cowboy a true Amish Christmas. But even as she falls for him, she knows their love is forbidden. Will this be the start of forever or the beginning of goodbye?

My Review:

This was my first experience with a novel by Patricia Davids, and I can guarantee it won't be my last. I truly adore Amish fiction, and I love finding new to me authors within this genre. A Haven For Christmas is a beautiful, heartwarming story about grace, faith and redemption, and it's exactly what I hope for whenever I pick up a novel about the Amish culture.

I really enjoyed how this one is about an Englischer who's struggling to find himself after being released from rehab, and ends up offering to give a struggling Amish widow and her family a hand on their dairy farm when he stumbles upon them by chance. It's a really unique plotline, and it kept me engaged entirely throughout.

Tully and Becca's story is swoon worthy, heartwarming, and faith filled, and is definitely a new favorite. I loved the emphasis on trusting God, even when it seems impossible to do so, and the lessons learned that only He can make all things work for our own good.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I truly adored this one, and I hope to read more titles in this series in the very near future.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

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. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
