About the author

Amelia C. Adams

173 books163 followers
Amelia C. Adams is a wife, a mother, and a novelist. She spends her days dreaming up stories and her nights writing them down. Her biggest hero is her husband, and you might just see bits and pieces of him as you read her novels.

She loves all things historical and enjoys learning about days gone by, but she's glad she was born more recently (she won't say how recently or not recently) because the Internet is awesome, and she's glad she doesn't have to wash her clothes by hand in a galvanized tub. She has hit Amazon bestseller status twice, once for A Clean Slate and once for A Clear Hope.

FAMILIES CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AT RIVER’S END RANCH

The Christmas Catch-up comprise of five individual short stories by various authors to catch up with main characters and relationships found within the pages of previous stories. These are not lengthy stories, just an added bonus of the characters during Christmas 2017. Rather than do a summary of the book, I am going to share a quote or two from each family. Call it a little teaser!

JACK AND LIZ

“You did it. You really did it.” “Yes! And do you know what a hard secret that’s been to keep? I’ve been sitting on this for three weeks, the longest three weeks of my entire life!”

WES AND AMBER

“Sorry. I’ve never had a pregnant wife before—I don’t know what you need.”

GABE AND GWEN

“Honestly, sweetheart, everything I am is because of you. You encouraged me to excel back in college, you’ve been by my side during this recovery, and it was your love that got me back on the judge’s bench.”

MARK AND HEIDI

“These weren’t tears of sadness. Instead, they were tears of healing. She had no idea what the future would hold for her and Mark.” “At that moment, it didn’t seem to matter exactly how it came about because she had a sense that it was all in God’s hands, that He was watching the situation and whatever happened, He would be there. Just like He had always been there.”

REGGIE AND ABBY

“Thing you’ve got to know about Reggie—he has the softest heart in the entire world. He has to in order to balance me out—I’m as hard as a nail.”

JOEY AND CHELSEA

“He couldn’t exactly ask her because that would give away the surprise, but he didn’t want to run the risk of doing something totally dumb because she’d remember it forever. That was the thing about girls. They had been memories than elephants.”

Reviewed at Romance Is Ageless

The authors of the River’s End Ranch series have come together to give their readers a very special Christmas present this year. One more very special moment with their couples on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. We’ve loved their stories, watched them find love now we get to share one more glimpse at their lives now to see what’s happening and what’s coming for them all. It’s such a unique and special gift, and I’m enjoying every single moment with these couples.

We’ll get to catch up with: Jack & Liz from Accidental Agent, Wes & Amber from Rugged Rockclimber, Gabe & Gwen from Welcome Wagon, Mark & Heidi from Santa’s Shopkeeper, Reggie & Abby from Delivering Destiny and Joey & Chelsea from Lucky Lifeguard. If you’ve followed this series, then you’re sure to love these extra special gifts from the River’s End Ranch authors. My heartfelt thanks to them all.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Enjoyable catchup

As have the earlier catchup books have done, this one brings several Rivers End stories ahead until today. Although I wanted more, at least the short look in into each couples lives kept the stories alive for a short time.

I love these catch up books

I am enjoying the catch up with couples during Christmas festivities. I have read all the River's End Ranch books. But the books don't give much information on the couples after their book is finished. This is the perfect idea.
