I wrote an uncomplimentary review about this book but it didn’t save.

Quick dislikes:

Far too physical for a Christian woman in 1870s. Lots of deep kissing (in poor taste, with tongue, etc.) should lead to a future life together, right? Nope. She had always intended to return home after the visit with the male MC's mother. Why engage in all that serious physical closeness, then?

A man plotting in detail how he would drug and rape the female lead were horrible scenes.

Plus this book dealt more with magic than Christianity.

Suffice it to say, I didn’t care for it at all.

A perfect holiday story! Loved the characters!, loved the story!!

[Renate Deutsche Oma · Rating 4 out of 5]

New to me author. I enjoyed the premise of this historical mystery romance. The magical lantern, Christmas, family including a child, a blizzard makes for a page turning holiday read. I delighted that German heritage is included in this series with an OMA and that Aiylin Miller's family made guitars.
Interesting characters, twist and turn plot, some drama, a holiday and a believable resolution. But as others stated disappointed at the editing - names, word choice, wrong words.

Sweet Christmas Romance

Sweet clean Christmas romance. The only things that got a little confusing were some spots where names were mixed up. For instance, is Patrick’s mom Darla or Louisa? Also, who stays to greet Patrick and Mena when they get home from their honeymoon?

[Jennifer Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot was okay but the writing was choppy. Several times names were changed or mixed up in the story. I found the quick “romance” too scripted and too risqué. And not how a lady - especially one with a deep belief in God- would act/react in the 1860s. Or an upstanding man either.

Promises

A lovely book and I enjoyed the story. Lots of typos through the book. Not sure if anyone actually sat down and proof read the book. Hopefully next time around that will get sorted. It was still worth reading.

A Promise for Christmas

A lantern, a glow, and a Christmas wish. What would you wish for? There were special wishes asked, did they all get theirs? Good clean romance.

Superb Read

This book is enjoyable from beginning to end, clean other than kissing. Plot is good even believable but the heroine is a bit dense like they all are. It has a very good ending. I read this book in one sitting to find out the ending.
