He shouldn’t be able to care for someone like this. To be drawn to her. To want in the core of his body to bring her closer, even as he pushed her away.
The other passengers on the train stared at Isabelle Heart with narrowed eyes as she shuffled her way down the aisle, a suitcase in each hand and a crying baby strapped to her front. She prayed again and again that everything would be all right.We’ll be at our new home soon, she told herself. The man who’ll be my husband will help us.
But it wasn’t him who appeared at the train station…
The incident had taught Cameron Mercer the meaning of the word unbearable. Before that night, he had believed he was strong enough to come out the other side of any trial. In those days, he had been a man of faith. But that wasn’t true. He knew that now.
He can’t let them into his life, not when they remind him so much of what he’s lost.
But God has other plans—and this Christmas, they will both heal.

"Once upon a time..." ...my best childhood nights had started with this wonderful phrase!
Ever since I can remember, I loved a good story!
All started thanks to my beloved grandfather! He used to read to my sister and me, stories of mighty princes and horrifying dragons! Even now, sometimes I miss those cold winters in front of the fireplace in my hometown, Texas!
My best stories though were the ones from the Bible! Such is the spiritual connection that a cozy warm pass through my body every time I hear a biblical story!
My childhood memories were not all roses, but I always knew that the strongest shelter would be always there for me! It was Him!
Years passed by, and little-Chloe grown up reading all kind of stories! It was no surprise that I had this urge to write my own stories, and share them with the word!
If I have a God's purpose on Earth, I think it is to spread His love and wisdom, through my stories!
Let me begin by saying I think you will enjoy the story. My 3 stars reflect my feeling which I share at the end.
We have another interfering sister who believes a bride for her brother will cure her brother Cameron. These sisters never seem to think beyond what is right in front of them, the angry, grief stricken brother. What about the prospective Bride. Some life experience, likely several has made her believe her only path is marriage to someone she does not know. This looks like a recipe for disaster and as you read, disaster seems to be just around the corner.
There is also plenty of danger from the outside. There is a complete lack of communication between the prospective groom and bride about this problem and most everything in their daily life. The emotional ups and downs are served on top of each other. There is not much rest time to recover.
I completed the book still unsure of what I think of Cameron. He is a bomb that may explode at any time throughout the book. I wondered if the author might be planning a sequel but the extended epilogue would say that is not likely. At one point near the end, a whole year is skipped. I have several ideas about what could have been included in this year that might make the end feel complete. The story just seems to be dropped.
The Woman Who Saved His Christmas is an emotionally charged read. Isabelle finds herself in a mess. Cameron's sister sends her best friend letters in answer to being a mail-order bride. Her friend dies in childbirth, and Isabelle travels to Cameron's ranch. Since Cameron doesn't know anything about it, he is not happy. Neither is Isabelle. It wasn't what she expected.
The story features many instances of danger, bad weather, suspicion, trust issues, and faith-related challenges. The story kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. The ending wrapped everything up nicely. I enjoyed the story, setting, and characters, even though I was frustrated by their actions at times. The story was inspirational and uplifting in the end.
I do not like to give low ratings because authors work so hard to produce books and then if they get low ratings, it can be discouraging.
I like a good Christian romance at Christmas time.
In this one the main characters have a lot of inner dialogs. Which came across as preaching to this reader. I think it would behoove Chloe Carly to read some of George MacDonald's writings. He was a Christian who wrote fiction. Chole is a fiction writer who is trying to preach. There is a difference. C. S. Lewis was the same way a Christian who wrote fiction. Their faith life comes through loud and clear and does not preach.
Isabelle and Cameron have such a heart felt story. Cameron has lost so much, including his faith. He has become a grumpy and horrible a loner. Isabelle has lost her dearest friend and become the mother to her friend’s baby. She finds herself on a train to marry a man she knows nothing about. When she arrives, it is not her intended meeting her at the station. Will he accept her and the baby when he learns of her arrival? I highly recommend you read their story.
I was first caught by the book cover. It made me anticipate the story behind it and the title. I was not disappointed. It was refreshing in that it wasn't about the women running from someone. She was going to a new future but had obstacles in her way. It's always amazing how love can heal broken hearts and wounded souls. The verses chosen in this book are among my favorites. I suggest this book to readers.
This is an awesome read of this increditable story of Cameron and Isabella's, along with little Abby, on their journey to find their happy everafter along with God's help. The storyline is fabulous with some twists and turns along the way with heartfelt and intrigueing characters. It is also a page turner read.
Chloe Carley shared a heartfelt and wonderful story with her readers in THE WOMAN WHO SAVED HIS CHRISTMAS. I enjoyed getting to know Isabelle, Abby, Cameron, Eloise, Adam, Edith, and Pastor John. I appreciated the elements of faith, family, and love in the story. I highly recommend this book.
This was an amazing story and Annie and Cameron are so meant for each other, and baby Abby is like a breath of fresh air every one who see's her loves her , troubles are many but love is stronger with God in our hearts . you need to get this book it is hard to set it down
I very much enjoyed this book. The characters were great, very well-developed. The book was well written, and was both interesting and entertaining with plenty of plot twists. If you enjoy sweet, historical Christian romance stories, this one will not disappoint.
A book written in by Chloe Carley is a very nice book to read. It is well written with the good characters and the bad characters. Still the book is an enjoyable book to read.
