Summary: A lovely Christmas anthology
Comment: This is a lovely anthology of novellas by the Mistress
of the Christmas novella.Four are some of her classics.I espec-
ially loved "No Room At the Inn" which is one of the best retel-
ling of the First Christmas ever written.This story revolves a-
round a group of Christmas travelers stranded at an inn&their
reactions to the arrival of a young poor couple traveling in
search of work&the imminent birth of their child.The new story
is all about an estranged couple who weren't left alone by the
girl's mother after their arranged marriage.Because of this
they were holding each other at arms length.I really loved this
book.

Summary: Only worth buying if you haven't read the older stuff
Comment: Wish I could give a split star review.... If you haven't read the previously published stories, this is a four-star item, and worth buying. BUT if you're a Balogh fan and have read the older stuff, I'd think twice before shelling out even the reduced Amazon price in order to get the new story, which is not up to her usual high standards. I've read everything she's ever published; this story feels like leftovers, with elements from older stories sort of hashed together. Mary, Mary....

Summary: five delightful historical romantic Christmas tales
Comment: "A Family Christmas". Lady Templar detests the fact that her son-in-law Edwin is coming home for Christmas though he owns the estate because she believes he is beneath her. Her daughter Elizabeth married Edwin as Templar needed money. Both actually wed due to the respect they have for his now deceased father, but neither know that what they feel for each other is love.
"The Star of Bethlehem". Ellen tells her husband Allan that she lost the Star of Bethlehem diamond that he gave her. Angry he informs her she will go into exile. Though they love one another, this marriage looks dead even when three betrothal rings surface.
"The Best Gift". Warren's sister dumps her teenage daughter on him. Needing a companion for his niece, he obtains the services of teacher Jane, who has no family. Jane and Warren fall in love during their family Christmas.
"Playing House". Lilas asks Stephen for "payment" for the times her dad tutored him without remittance. She wants a last Christmas together for her younger siblings before they are scattered as orphans, but has no means of doing so. He agrees to host a grand holiday, but soon he and Lilas fall in love.
"No Room at the Inn". The storm is so bad that everyone stops at the White Hart Inn seeking shelter even with Christmas coming. When Lisa goes into labor, Edward gives up his room for her and her spouse. Pamela sees Edward in a kind light and soon they fall in love.
These five Christmas tales are delightful historical romantic gifts of the magi that fans of the author, sub-genre, or the holiday cheer will appreciate.
