I love these Christmas stories, charming, a bit sad, full of love and family and tradition. A perfect read for Christmas. ( ) Christmas is the season of miracles. Mary Balogh gave us 3 miracles in one book. The Best Christmas Ever, The Porcelain Madonna, and The Surprise Party all had children in them, but these weren’t the goody-too-shoes type that I find so annoying. I liked all of them. I found myself rooting for these kids and wanting to hug them tight. I was held captive by The Porcelain Madonna. I knew there was something hinted at that I wanted to know. I guessed at what it was, but I was wrong. The story was mildly suspenseful on yet another level. I found myself reading late into the night without regrets. Even before meeting Viscount Morsey, I could sense the sexual tension. The attraction between the two was recognized by the children as well. They didn’t know exactly what it was but little Caroline liked it. When I got to the end of The Best Christmas Ever, I was disappointed! I wanted more. Much more. This was the first book I’ve read by Mary Balogh. I don’t know how/why we ended up being friends on Facebook, but I’m glad that we did. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
CHRISTMAS GIFTS brings together three previously published and long out-of-print novellas, each on the theme of Christmas gifts that will last forever because the gift, in essence, is love. In "The Best Christmas Ever" a boisterous house party is in progress and all the children when asked are eager to tell what they want for Christmas. But one man feels sad, for his young child has not spoken since her mother died and he does not know if the gifts he has bought her will be what she really wants. Unknown to him her one fervent wish is for the new mother for Christmas, and when she sees one of the guests she knows who that will be. But the lady concerned has an unhappy history with the child's father. In "The Porcelain Madonna" a gentleman becomes involved with helping an impoverished lady, who thinks of everyone's happiness but her own. However, he has seen her gaze with longing at a porcelain madonna well beyond her means displayed in a shop window. In "The Surprise Party" a man and woman who are antagonistic to each other find themselves landed with the care over Christmas of children who are related to each of them. They quarrel over which of them should undertake the task. It is not a happy situation until the children teach them the true meaning of Christmas and of love and they discover that they can do it together. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
