Read Review Rejoice's Revew of Broken Limbs, Mended Hearts Regina Jennings: This is an adorable shorter novella that drew me in with every page even with the embarrassment in the story. I love how the cover fits the collection perfectly!

Review of Inn for a Surprise by Karen Witemeyer:
Without the suspenseful adventure of most of her stories I wasn't sure what to expect from Karen Witemeyer's "Inn for a Surprise" but I fell in love with the idea of the story right along with Phoebe and Barnabas as they grew to love each other.

Review of From Roots to Sky:
Dykes has such a way with words... She pulls me in and doesn't let go of my heart for a good long while.

Maybe it is the WWII theme or maybe it is the poetic way of writing the heart of a story on the page, I don't know, I just know that she is always on my list of need to read authors.


Review of Heartwood by Nicole Deese:
This is only the second story that I have read from Nicole Deese and I was hooked from the start!

I love the sweet and light but still has a hidden gem depth showing truth and love.

The bittersweet ending was just so wonderful, I really look forward to reading more from both authors.

I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

A great compilation of novellas by fantastic authors! Each story revolves around a couple engraving their initials into the same oak tree at different time periods. I liked reading each individual story because each author portrays their characters differently! I thoroughly enjoyed each story! Definitely a good read! ( )

This anthology was charming from beginning to end! Four separate stories, yet they all followed a chronological storyline over 100 years with The Kissing Tree as their central theme.

I am an old soul at heart, and I can think of nothing more romantic than having a sweetheart carving theirs and my initials in the bark of a old, stately tree. While that tiny, yet romantic, aspect was present in each story, the main characters all had such depth that I don’t typically find in a novella. It was a most pleasant surprise!

Most of these authors were brand new to me as well, which made this a great introduction into their writing styles. I don’t think I could pick a favorite among them all if I tried! The gentlemen were all swoon-worthy characters (even the one named Barnabas), and once their lady was in their sights, it was game over, sealed with a kiss, romance!

If you’re looking for next romance novel, definitely grab The Kissing Tree for four quick reads that you’ll love from start to finish. ( )

I am a fan of novella collections that aren’t huge compellations that take days to get through because there are so many stories involved. Three or four is the perfect number (or should it be numbers?) for me. And The Kissing Tree includes stories from three authors who have released favorites this year (that may jump to all four come December when Regina Jennings’ new release arrives).

This compilation centers around a tree in a tiny Texas town through the years. Whether you’re a fan of historical or contemporary stories or of second chance or first time around romances, there’s something in this book for you.

What’s even better is each author (Regina Jennings, Karen Witemeyer, Amanda Dykes, and Nicole Deese) brings her own voice to the pages. For those who haven’t read one or more of these authors, this is an excellent way to get a feel for someone’s style and for those like me who devour everything from these authors, The Kissing Tree is an unexpected bonus.

Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. ( )

The Kissing Tree is a must-read novella collection for fans of both contemporary and historical Christian fiction!

The stories all work so well together! I enjoyed the cameo appearances some characters made across the tree’s saga. Each story was really super sweet and so well-executed. I totally enjoyed this collection – it’s definitely become a favorite!

The Kissing Tree is available now! Visit Baker Book House or Christian Book to purchase! You’ll be glad you did!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Karen Witemeyer and Bethany House Publishers. A positive review was not required. Opinions expressed are completely my own. ( )
