The Townsends of Williamsport
Aaron's Gift
This Christmas, I’m wishing for a present that money can’t buy…
Aaron Townsend has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams. But not even a billionaire can prevent cancer.
Now that I’m in remission, this Christmas I’d like a present that is priceless—spending time traveling with my five beautiful children and my husband by my side.
But business never goes smoothly, and I don’t feel right sharing my request when Aaron has just discovered there’s a traitor in his ranks.
There’s also another deal he’s keeping tight-lipped about, and I can tell it’s important. When our son requests to accompany his father on a business trip days before Christmas to close the deal, my heart sinks.
Will Aaron make it home in time for the festive season? And am I silly to believe that he can make all of my Christmas wishes come true?

Amazing
So much love and Christmas spirit. I couldn’t stop ready by, and yet I didn’t want it to end. Give me more Townsends.

I love how Aaron ,loves his family and I get what lesson he is trying to teach Kyle . I was kind of disappointed that he didn’t point out that sometimes not everyone is out to hurt you just like with Muller,he just didn’t know the whole back story .The Townsends are people that most would want to be around just to get a leg up but just like with Brutus and patience he was proven wrong . I would have loved to been able to see the whole gang together again and even tho we know these are fiction of work it’s comforting in a way to see that they still can have real world problems sometimes we want to live through these characters but death and illness doesn’t discriminate .Now those kids ! They are going to have their hands full with stasi, theirs, and dra Aaron will probably threaten , or worse to any man that Kennedy even thinks of dating and stasi I think dra will end up being the 3 rd Aaron since theirs is now second.. I love this family and I hope we get to see lord of them in the future

This was a emotional ride,I love Aaron so much and when he cut his hair because of his wife that scene was an ultimate tear jerking.
He loves Patience so much, I would recommend.

Aaron and Patience are back! In Aaron's Gift we fast forward ten years to catch up how life has been going for these two. Patience has had a rough go and through it all her rock, Aaron, has been by her side along with their kids and the rest of the Townsend Clan. Now that things are looking up Patience is trying to find her new normal and it's not as easy as she though it would be and Aaron is determined to make everything not just like it was before but better than it's ever been. And we know what Aaron wants he will do anything to get.
The Townsend's are one of my favorite book series, and it was so great to visit with the family again. In good times or bad when this family comes together, it's bound to result in a great story line and in Aaron's Gift you get exactly that. Aaron is his usual alpha male self and only his Patience can calm the beast which always goes from anger to passion. It was also a joy to see the kids older and growing into their own which hopefully will lead to more stories about the family. I have enjoyed all the books I have read by this author and I highly recommend this one.

Wow!
I am at a loss for words! Ms. Patterson did the damn thing again, Lol. Aaron is just, too much and also too good! He loves his wife with an intensity and passion that we could only wish. I loved everything about this man. The good and the bad! He loves so damn hard and is super ridiculously protective of his wife, kids and family, that it's just exemplified a hundred times more, in his actions. A perfect 5 star read🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
P.S. the bonus epilogue is sooooo worth it! Love it so much! Aaron will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends forever more❤️❤️❤️

He'd give Patience the world if she wanted it.
This was a story that told how the potential of dying and surviving cancer has on the entire family. Aaron did everything he could to be by his wife's side while she was fighting for her life and continued to do things to make sure that if cancer returned, he'd have a contingency plan for her treatment. After all, Patience is the love of his life. The best thing he did was to marry her.
Every woman wants a husband like Aaron. He loves deeply and completely and sacrifices for the happiness of his family, and doesn't let business get in the way of his family's happiness. I like how he showed empathy to Muller once he figured out why he was being so stubborn and how Aaron opened up to Muller to let him know why purchasing Wynco Labs was so important to him.

Love the Townsend so much. A little disappointed that this was only a novella as I wanted so much more. It was hard reading about patients suffering but how hard Aaron loves is what makes him everyone’s favourite. This book is set 10 years after Aaron’s patience. The kids are growing up, going off to college but I feel there a is so much stories that Tiffany could have covered in this time and I hope she goes back and writes follow ups to all the other brothers too

Priceless…
I could never get enough of the Townsends, but Aaron always gripped my heart… there is something so deep and profound about him, a man of action and a few words. Patience is his World and his family is his Everything .
This book AWESOME!!

Aaron my man
My fav book of all time and a mini sequel the best gift ever this time of the year. I laughed, cried and fell in love with Aaron and his entire family. He’ll still do anything for Patience and giving her her Christmas gift is on the top of his list. I can’t wait to read about Diego and his bff that’s going to be interesting. Loved this book need more!

Just in time for the holiday season, we are back with another story from the Townsend clan. Over a decade has passed since we last check in on Aaron and Patience. Aaron has grown since we last heard from him. However, he didn’t lose the biting wit we readers have come to expect. Then there is Patience who is navigating her life not only being a wife and mother of five but a cancer survivor. I won’t spoil this novella for readers, but I will say there is not a dull moment. Our couple learned some important lessons both together and separately. Each learned what is truly important not just during the holiday season. Of course, while it is some heartwarming family moments there is still steamy romance including a trip down memory lane (IYKYK). I will say I was a little heated at Aaron and his advice to their son Kyle. However, Aaron did get back on track. I also loved checking in with the rest of the Townsend family which has continued to grow since their initial introduction. I am curious about a few things especially when it comes to the Townsends kids etc. I have a few theories. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I am looking forward to the next story.

I REALLY enjoyed this book. I feel that I got to know and love Aaron so much so that I intend to re-read the first Aaron and Patience book. Though everyone questions his advise that he gave his oldest son, no one questions his love and devotion to his family and friends that he considers to be family. I highly recommend this book to see Aaron's true heart and it's always fun to catch up with the Townsends

Aaron's Gift is the perfect Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday read. We get a chance to reunite with the entire Townsend family along with family friends. Aaron and Patience are still deeply in love with 5 children This novella is amazing. It updates us on what's happened. What's possibly coming and what is Aaron's Gift. Has Aaron mellowed?😏🤣🥰
December 26, 2022
I don’t know why I expected this to be remotely better, I still hate Aaron. He gets in my fucking nerves. I was ready to slap a bitches face off when he said that shit to Kyle. Because that’s what it was SHIT ADVICE, why on earth would to tell that to an adolescent who just went true something traumatic? The sexism in his kids dating policies also piss me off, namely cause I all to familiar with them. Surprisingly, one of the good quotes from this novella came from Aaron: “Because, for me, all roads lead me back to you.”
Shocking, I know.
Shocking, I know.

I love The Townsends and it's such a pleasure to catch up with this family at Christmas! I said it once and I'll say it again—I'm not a fan of (cousin) Aaron. I absolutely love his love for his wife and his children and the rest of The Townsend Clan, but he doesn't have much use for people outside of his family. A fact that he passes on to his son Kyle after he's betrayed by his best friend.
Aaron reinforces a very valuable lesson about friendship and it changes Kyle's perspective about trust and love but with his adoration of Aaron, I wondered just how far he'd go to please HIS father. I'm not quite sure if he would say no to something untoward asked of him by HIS father. Sometimes you have to walk in someone else's shoes to see perspective.
After a deal in the pipeline falls apart, Aaron sets out to obtain Wynco, a company with advances in medicine but as usual Aaron expects the owner to dance to his tune and schedule. This is quite evident when the owner gives Aaron's team a time that he can meet. Oh no, Aaron decides that the meeting would take place on Monday, after Thanksgiving, never considering that it's NOT a holiday celebrated all around The World. *SHDH!
Now for the kids, I loved hearing updates on them and I loved that the story included Damon and Sandra and their kids—especially Monique who is best friends with Diego. It definitely feels like there could be future books featuring them as adults and I may NOT be ready for their story.
I wanted their to be a definitive conclusion to the message that Patience was trying to convey to Aaron about trust and for Aaron to see the error of his ways—he didn't, so it may be a future theme in future books, perhaps centered around The Townsends children as adults.
As usual, great storytelling with love, family, happiness and heart at the center of the story.
I love this author and you should read ALL of her books and this one is no exception—Highly, highly Recommended: Read It!

“There is no time or place on this planet or the next in which I’ll let a motherfucker talk to my wife like that.”
“Business betrayal is one thing. That would cost you to lose your livelihood. But if you ever speak to my wife or my son again, there isn’t a person alive with the power to find where I’ll bury your body,”
“But you are the CEO of your family,” “From everything you shared with me about your husband and your family, I would venture to guess that they want you to be happy and are more willing than you think to give you what you want.”
“You know it’s okay to take time for yourself, right?”
“I know you believe you have to be there for everyone in your family,” she said, “but it’s not selfish to ask for what you want. You experienced trauma. Going through a prolonged illness illness and the painful and uncomfortable treatments, the surgeries, and permanent changes to your body. Those are all life-altering events. You may think that all you want is to get things back to normal, but it’s okay to reinvent a new normal. For you and your family.”
“Everyone wants something.”“And it’s okay to be a little selfish during this time of year. Just a little.”
“She promised us she would fight with everything she had to beat the cancer.” He blew out a breath. “But she said that if she didn’t, if the worst happened …” He swallowed, and I looked away from him, my fists tightening.
“That we had to promise her not to let you fall apart. She made all of us agree that we wouldn’t let you fall into that darkness you lived in before she came into your life, for your children. She looked all of us in the eye and made us swear never to let that happen because the only thing worse she could think of besides not surviving the cancer was to leave her children with a father who couldn’t love them through his broken heart.”
Wow Aaron’s love for Patience runs deeper than I have ever witnessed in my lifetime and I certainly hope I am on the receiving end someday.

(It's now Dec 2...)
I mean, I liked this book, but really I really like Aaron and Patience together. They're perfect for each other. Nobody else, really.
Well, ... yeah no. Aaron definitely ~couldn't be with anyone else. And Patience definitely loves Aaron most. So ...
Aaron is also only ~soft with Patience and his kids.
He's definitely an asshole, an unrepentant one, and his life affords him that luxury of being able to get away with it. HOWEVER - what really makes it "okay" is that he can back it up.
And I wouldn't say he's an asshole FOR NO REASON ... like he doesn't go out of his way just to be an asshole to people. It's "just" that he doesn't suffer fools. He expects the best from everyone.
If you go against him or betray him though he will DESTROY you.
[The ... destruction room thing O_o that scene was o_O]
Really though this book is just a "for the fans" story.
The bonus novella was touching and sweet too.
I love how into his wife Aaron still is. And of course seeing all the other Townsends. <3 And their kids <3
... <.< that series bait with Diego ...
I didn't love how Aaron is like basically emotionally damaging Kyle O_o the whole "you can trust NOBODY BUT FAMILY." Also though like ... I get the Townsends are great but sometimes family is not great? :X
ALSO also though - obviously the Townsends trust not Townsends e.g. ALLLLLLL their massive security team?
Especially Brutus? [Whose story I'm currently reading...]
The whole "conflict" is that Patience doesn't want to "ask for too much" and have the family travel literally the world for a year or two.
And the way Aaron handles things is just ... *shakes head* so him.
So not okay but they're into it so this is a "you do you and everyone be happy" type thing. LOL and I just love them as a couple.
But seriously it's a "only you two" thing.
... I guess ... C?

Because who doesn't love this couple?!?!
I absolutely love, love, LOVE this book.
This is literally a short story that you cannot help but love and want more.
I'm so glad I waited a long while before reading this book. Since their son Kyle book is now put and Deigo and Monquie book is soon to come as well.
Patience and Araron is one of my favorite couples to read about. I love there story and their chemistry. There something about this couple that I wouldn't mind reading about all the time.
There two has been through so much that you cannot help but feel your heart break. They just can't catch a break. From the beginning of Patience getting kidnapped in book one. To an unexpected pregnancy which brought little Anastasia into their lives. To poor Patience going through cancer.
The amount of pain and hardship they over come will always pull at my heart strings. And make me fall even more in love with this couple.
The amount of love Araron has for his wife, know no bounds. They both make so many sacrifices for one another that it leaves you not only with a smile. But a bit of envy that you wish you had that type of love in your life. Or like myself showing your husband and demanding that type of love. Lol no compromise here.
These Townsend males are no joke, and neither are their wives. No. Scratch that. The men inside Williamsport are a force to be reckoned with.
Speaking of reckoned with little Kyle is going to be an exact replica of his father. And it also seems like little Theirs is also a baby Aaron. I can't wait to see whats going on there. And there we have Deigo and his situation with Monique. And I can't wait to jump into it.
I have half a mind to hold off on reading Kyle's book but nope. I waited long enough.
As Always, Araon and Patience book will Never be a disappointment. So what are you waiting for hurry and jump in.
I absolutely love, love, LOVE this book.

It was nice to see things haven't changes much. Aaron was still a cold hearted, ruthless man but he had a soft spot for Patience and their children. This couple has been through so much since we were first introduced to this couple in "Aaron's Patience". Aaron was a character that grew on you because he has always been mean as a snake towards everyone...family included.
Patience has grown some over the years. She was always a little naive and a pushover in my opinion. She always caved to Aaron's demands no matter what they were.
I loved reading how Aaron was her rock during her Cancer ordeal. He stood by her every step of the way making her life as easy and comfortable as possible. With Patience currently in remission her only goal is to have the best Christmas ever with her family.
This story was a testament of the power of love and family. Aaron and Patience learned some valuable lessons in this book. Patience learned that it was ok to be a little selfish and ask for the things you want instead of putting her desires on the backburner making everyone else happy. Aaron learned that although he could provide and support his family without blinking an eye; time was what mattered most.
It was nice to catch up with the Townsend family. Cater, Aaron, Jason and Tyler have been busy with their wives as they birth forth the next generation of Townsend heirs. This was a heartwarming story and although Aaron is still the same as he was before he did have a little growth, after all he didn't k*ll anyone in this book.....see progress

Arc review.
Patience and Aaron's lives have pretty much returned to normal after Patience battle with a serious illness comes in an end with her the victor. After two years of not knowing if she'd see another day, she's appreciative but feels like she's missed out on so much. Her kids are growing up so fast and she'd do anything to get those years back. She becomes obsessed with making this the best Christmas ever for her family. However, she's afraid to ask for what she really wants from Old Saint Nick.
Aaron is his usual alpha male self; threatening people with knives, etc. But are we really surprised about this....not really. I can only imagine how difficult it was for a man like him to sit on the sidelines while his wife suffered. To be helpless and not in control was such a foreign and eye opening experience. One he never wants to repeat.
He's back in the office, but his mind is elsewhere. A major merger fell through and he is hellbent on securing another before the new year. The new company's CEO is not impressed with his heavy handed intimidation tactics and gives him a run for his money. To try and seal the deal Aaron has no choice but to take a trip overseas days before Christmas. He allows Kyle to accompany him to give him a front row seat on how business is done the Townsend way.
I really enjoyed visiting my beloved Townsend and look forward to the next generation

After two years of not knowing if she'd see another day, she's appreciative but feels like she's missed out on so much. Her kids are growing up so fast and she'd do anything to get those years back. She becomes obsessed with making this the best Christmas ever for her family. However, she's afraid to ask for what she really wants from Old Saint Nick.
Aaron is his usual alpha male self; threatening people with knives, etc. But are we really surprised about this....not really. I can only imagine how difficult it was for a man like him to sit on the sidelines while his wife suffered. To be helpless and not in control was such a foreign and eye opening experience. One he never wants to repeat.
He's back in the office, but his mind is elsewhere. A major merger fell through and he is hellbent on securing another before the new year. The new company's CEO is not impressed with his heavy handed intimidation tactics and gives him a run for his money. To try and seal the deal Aaron has no choice but to take a trip overseas days before Christmas. He allows Kyle to accompany him to give him a front row seat on how business is done the Townsend way.

My heart soared when Tiffany mentioned that Aaron Townsend would be getting an Holiday update. Ten years have passed and he is still head over heels and crazy in love with Patience. It shows when he becomes her beacon of help and hope during her fight with cancer. He sets out to ensure his wife remains healthy and in typical Aaron form, he doesn’t hesitate to throw his possessiveness nor the Townsend name around. Imma just say it, I LOVE that about Aaron. If a man ain’t going ape-shit about me, I don’t want him. This story is proof of the power of love and family. The way her prioritizes his family and encourages Patience to be vocal about her desires is admirable. If you’re familiar with Aaron’s method of persuasion, you know my baby didn’t half step. It was an absolute delight meeting up with the Townsend crew again, even though we only got glimpses of them, their presence were mighty. My favorite part of this story is definitely the introduction of the next generation of the Townsend. Diego, Kyle & Kennedy got next and baby I cannot wait. I was a little disappointed with the way the situation with Kyle was handled, but I know Tiffany enough to know that this is a set up for something greater. I’m gonna go ahead, sit small and wait. I loved what the author did with this story. Family, loyalty and love is still prevalent within the Townsend family and I don’t see it changing. Is the new generation ready yet? Asking for me LOL. I definitely recommend.

This was a quick read for me as it was a novella. I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.
Sometimes it’s nice to be able to pick up a book and finish it in one sitting.
Aarron and Patience have gone through some tough times. They have a houseful of children and a busy schedule. Patience’s illness took a toll on her and she was lucky to have Aarron there every step of the way. Their trust is ruined by their friends and Aarron makes sure to get his eldest son Kyle know they were betrayed and only trust family. He takes what his dad says as the truth and he’s sees it as good ground to give to his son for when he steps into the CEO of the Townsend company eventually.
Patience doesn’t see it this way. I think she’s right.
Christmas is looking and there are so many thing a to accomplish for this year- a sealed deal, the right Christmas gifts for the children but what’s missing? What does Patience really want for Christmas?
I hope there will be a follow up of this story, hopefully to see what happens when Kyle grows up and takes over the business.
A nice story, I enjoyed reading it and her style of writing flowed nicely.

MY FAVORITE TOWNSEND IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!
5 STARS!!! I absolutely loved Aaron and Patience. Getting an update on them and the family was a treat for me. The story did not disappoint at all. You would think Aaron would have mellowed with time, but he might be more overbearing now. His love and devotion to Patience is displayed on every single page. He goes so hard for Patience. Not surprising, but such a great dad. What I really was excited to see was how much the kids have grown. That Kyle is his daddy's son and should have been named Aaron Jr., protector in training. If you enjoyed the Townsend series, this is the best update novella. It's not too short that you're left wanting more. But you want more because the story is so good and the next generation of Townsends are coming of age. I won't give away any spoilers, but it is well worth the wait and well worth the read. I received an ARC of this book for my honest and voluntary review.

I received an advanced reader copy, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Aaron & Patience and their family 10 years in the future as they navigate everyday life, betrayal and health challenges. The story is centered around Christmas and attempts by our couple to create the perfect holiday. The family has a lot to be thankful for considering, two years ago the family's focus was on Patience's health. Aaron's goal to protect his family has not changed. He responds to adversity by trying to fix it, this time is no different. Flashes backs gives the reader insight into the dynamics of a family when faced with serious illness. It was wonderful to experience the Aaron & Patience as parents to their five children (Kyle & Kennedy; Thiers & Andreas and Stasi). The ending was wonderful because Aaron was able to fulfil his wife's true Christmas wish. I would highly recommend this story.

4/5⭐️3.999/5🌶️
- Once again Aaron just reminds me why hes my favorite brother! He is so damn crazy but in the best way! I loved this peak into the future.
- Read the Townsends series for insight on these couples. Quick summary though, Aaron doesn't play about his wife and he nearly loses her to cancer. He stood beside her ofc as she fought this battle and came out on the other side. Patience is a force to be reckoned with literally and I love her.
- I love the way he love's Patience 🥹🥹. Im so happy we got to get some personality for the second set of twins and the baby girl of the family. I was just a tad bit annoyed that patience was taking forever to say what she wanted for Christmas. Even her inner dialogue was beating around the bush just for her to say she wanna travel. I said girlllllllllll bye thats literally like work and ofc Aaron made it happen. I also was lost as to why Kyle was on demon time at 17 lol like how does he think his daddy got his mama?? Anyway I digress I enjoyed it.
- Definitely recommend

Aaron and patience
I loved reading all these stories but Aaron is my favorite. He had come a little no way. He was lucky to have a loving uncle who took him as his own and loved him unconditionally. Throughout the stories and with his wife’s love and his brothers love his has changed from a grumpy man to a man who hugs his siblings and goes to the end and f the earth to give his wife what she needs. I love the example set by his father and the lessons he teaches. Patience is always putting her family first. I like be how Aaron can read his wife very well and knows when she not being truthful. The love of this family can be seen through these stories and the sisters in laws are close. Aaron and Patience have a love that can take them through anything. Looking forward to reading more about this family. Thank you miss Patterson.

ten years later lots has happened….
Aaron and Patience have been through a lot in the decade since their marriage. Sickness and health has a real impact on their lives and the lives of their now five children. This holiday season Patience wants everything to be perfect. She has one desire she was afraid to voice out loud. Aaron being who he is. He is all over the one desire his wife was so afraid to voice. He meets her needs even when does not voice them. This season Kyle learns a valuable lesson. He learns the difference between family friends and true friends. This will Cate over for him into adult hood. I am looking forward to his story bit will be a good one.
I loved seeing Aaron and Patience again along with their family and friends. The series is on my to do list.
