Summary: delightful tale of love found
Comment: I found this to be a wonderful, easy read. Set over Thanksgiving and Christmas in the rough and hard New Mexico territory, it tells the tale of two people, lost in their private pasts and determined not to let go. With the help of a magical wizard, disguised as a gentle old man, each overcomes to find each other and true love. Grace, a lonely widow, trying to hold on to her husband's dream and her desire to provide something for her daughter from her father, no matter what the cost or sacrifice. Noah, a survivor of the war, a survivor of the horrible Andersonville prison, but a survivor only in the physical sense. He is an emotionally damaged man who needs the very people he shuns. A truly easy read with a predictable yet none the less, enjoyable ending. A must for those of us who can suspend disbelief for a few minutes and hope that good things like this can happen to people in real life.

Summary: Enchanted tale.
Comment: Emma Craig spins an enchanted tale that has a tortured hero running from humanity...and into the world of a widow and her precocious little daughter, who live in the New Mexico Territory of 1869. The story takes place at the wagon yard and mercantile of Alexander McMurdo, a wizard who loves these three humans and is determined to bring joy into their lives with a little help from his magical powers.
The mercantile and wagon yard has been home to Grace Richardson and her daughter, Maddie, since her husband was killed by lightening several years prior. The lonely widow has nearly enshrined his memory, and she is determined to fulfill the dream they had shared of building a home on their land. Noah Partridge, bruised emotionally and physically from being a prisoner of war, has also suffered the loss of his family and the jilting by his sweetheart. He has come to the remote Southwestern desert looking for a piece of land to settle on. Noah is skin and bones, and cold of mind and heart-believing his soul has been lost. Arriving at the wagon yard, he feels he has found the place where he will have the isolation he seeks.
Mr. McMurdo, also known as Mac, has other plans for Noah and Grace, however. His wizardry draws them together, and with his help these two lonely souls both realize that love can heal even the most broken spirit. Emma Craig (a.k.a. Alice Duncan) reveals in parable how forgiveness of our fellow man, as well as ourselves, can be cleansing for the soul, mind, and body, while showing us that disappointments and struggles only serve to strengthen us. ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS is a delightful, uplifting read for the holiday season or any other time of the year. Her story will touch your emotions, and the magical happily-ever-after ending will leave you with a warm, contented feeling. ~Carol Carter for Bookbug on the Web

Summary: An excellent read
Comment: Noah Partridge has seen enough war and betrayal and just wants to be alone. He comes to the wilderness looking for solitude. What he gets is people who care about him no matter how unfriendly he is.
Grace Richardson is a beautiful softhearted woman who lost her husband when he was struck by lightening in a storm. She's trying to make a life for herself and her daughter Maddie in a barren land.
What these two have in common is a piece of land that Grace owns and a loneliness as desolate as the land they live on. What they gain is something to last a lifetime. Noah wants Grace's piece of land that was given to her by her late husband for her daughter Maddie. Grace doesn't want to part with the land because it's the only legacy she has left of her husband to give to Maddie.
A whimsical tale of magic and laughter, with wonderfully written characters full of life. A hardened hero whose heart is softened by the beautiful heroine and her lovely daughter. A heroine who must overcome the fear of loss and love again. Ms. Craig has created a well blended story with enough laughter and magic to make for an excellent read. I look forward to the second book in this series.
