A collection of heart warming Christmas themed Amish romances. In each story, someone finds love whether a blooming romance, rekindling an old romance, or finding their birth Mother. Bonus each story includes a delicious sounding recipe for a Christmas baked item. Now I want to bake and eat.

I love Christmas, I love novellas (they're fast and easy to read!), and I love Amish, so what better combination than all three wrapped up into one amazing collection? There isn't anything better, if you ask me. And, I have to say, this collection was worth the anticipation, worth the wait. All these authors did a fabulous job!

But, one specific story I want to focus on is Kate Lloyd's An Unexpected Christmas Gift. After reading all of Lloyd's other novels, I knew I needed to read this story. And, I will tell you, I was not disappointed! It was a quick read, I read it in just an hour, but it was packed full of amazing characters, and one heart warming, soul moving message of truth and forgiveness.

Following Maria Romano and her story was moving. I loved every minute of this holiday novella. I fell in love with Naomi, Nancy, Anna and Silas, the Amish family that invited her in, I fell in love with Maria herself and Naomi's sister Linda, I loved Troy Bennett and despite my food allergies and not able to eat a lot of delicious amazing food, I fell in love with the recipe that Lloyd included in the story. I will definitely be making the Christmas Caramel Cake for my guys!

If you're a fan of Christmas, Amish, and working in the kitchen, then I will tell you right now. This is a collection of stories you don't want to miss. All the stories are worthy of 4 stars and have a touch of romance woven in. Don't miss it! You'll be sharing this collection of holiday stories with all your book loving, Amish loving friends.

An Amish Christmas Kitchen by Kate Lloyd, Jan Drexler and Leslie Gould contains three heartwarming holiday stories. I thought all three novellas were well-written and engaging. I started reading An Amish Family Christmas one evening and just kept reading until I finished all three (it was a late night). The novellas contain great characters and lovely settings. We see how the Amish focus on family and the true reason for the holiday season. I like the life lessons featured in each story with my favorite being a person's heart is more important than their appearance. The romance plays out softly in each story which I appreciated. The stories are realistic with feel good endings. One of my favorite phrases is, âLife is only as short and hard as we make it.â It is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas and that only He can bring us the peace and joy we desire. There is a recipe for one of the mouthwatering baked goods featured in the story at the end of each novella. An Amish Christmas Kitchen will have you wanting to drag out your Christmas decorations and start baking your favorite Christmas cookies.
