The stories in this assortment are;
SILENT NIGHT
Nurse Joanie Russell still dreams of having a family of her own. Unmarried with no prospects…surely that time has passed. But on Christmas Eve 1966, Joanie is drawn on a search that makes her question. What is the sound echoing through the hospital corridors? Whispers from the past or prayers being answered on this holiest of nights?
RUNNING OUT OF TIME
All Nicole Drummond wants for Christmas is to take her mom away from her abusive drug-running step father. Like that’ll happen anytime soon. He totally controls their lives. But when her step father threatens to stop paying for her mom’s life-saving meds if Nicole doesn’t run drugs for him, she knows time has run out. And her options are few.
THE AVOIDABLE ORPHAN
Recently widowed Rodger de Jonge is losing his bond with his daughters. He’s a man of the African bush, and coping with ‘girlie feelings’ was always Helene’s department, not his. When an orphaned baby elephant is found during the Christmas holidays, Rodger sees an opportunity that might help him reconnect with his children. But interfering with the orphan goes against his usual conservation methods. It will require a new approach to save both the baby and his family.
SELENA’S BODYGUARD
Selena MacShaw’s presidential mother was murdered on Christmas day by Middle East extremists, but Selena is not afraid to live her own life. She wants to settle in the Australian Outback and stop running from her mother’s enemies. After his army buddies died in a mission gone wrong, ex Special Forces, Dallas Anderson, accepts an offer from Selena’s father. Dallas is Selena’s undercover bodyguard in the guise of a head stockman. But when Dallas’ secret is exposed, will Selena love him for his valour or hate him for his lies?
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MISTLETOE BABY
Laurel Ashwood needs a miracle. All her six-week old daughter wants for Christmas is a daddy…just for the holidays while Nana visits from Montana. Laurel and former boss, construction tycoon Nick St. John, used to share a chemistry. But will Nick want to cooperate? Six months ago, she’d left him without a word.
I enjoyed this collection very much. Each is a unique Christmas Romance with enjoyable characters in believable situations. Of course, I enjoyed some more than others – no not telling – but that’s to be expected in any collection.
If you’re looking for Christmas Romance to liven up your holiday reading list then Christmas Assortment Box of romances should be on your to read list. Hey, it’s hard to pass up five stories for one price, ya know?
