Holiday Bliss Anthology Shoop, Waldenville & Wylde Review & Giveaway



Holiday Bliss is book 2 in the Bliss series-- It comprises three romantic novellas by three different authors--set in different era's, in one home on the water called, Bliss.

Tending Her Heart by Kathleen Shoop 
Julie Peters' plans to modernize Waterside Hospital's labor and delivery protocols are thwarted by old school doctors and brown-nosing colleagues. But a handsome doctor who understands her point-of-view has a fine bedside manner and a way of Tending Her Heart that has forever-after attached to it. Can a Thanksgiving stay in the regal home called Bliss give her the space she needs to right her future and fall in love? 

The Christmas Miracle by Marcy Waldenville 
Brenan Brown has a terrible secret. One his beautiful wife doesn't know about. One that could destroy his happiness and his family. One he'd thought he buried along with his former identity in a grave in Ireland. But shady characters--terrorists really--from his past come to the stately mansion with blackmail and kidnapping on their minds. And with his family's after at risk, his future in peril, all Brenan can hope for is The Christmas Miracle. 

Holiday Wish by JD Wylde 
Vaughn Jennings has one rule he refuses to break. Not even for Chelsea Chathford, the curvaceous master carpenter he employs. With just reason. But with every day that goes by, it gets harder and harder to follow his rule. Can he follow his heart? Or forever wish he had? Because Christmas comes but once a year. And with it, the only chance to have his Holiday Wish come true.

"Each story is vivid in historical and modern details and will certainly have you wanting to visit Bliss yourself. The characters come to life, making you fall in love with each and every couple, rooting for them to make it. I highly recommend this wonderful novel by five talented authors."

My Review:
This is a great book for the holidays! The three titles include a heart, a wish and a miracle. The first story "The Christmas Miracle" was interesting because I wondered why someone would bury their identity. It led to his family getting in harms way. What was the miracle that Brenan was waiting for? Did he want his past forgotten, his wife never to find out, or to keep his family safe? This led to all sorts of issues for the family, including the FBI, and danger. Will their love survive? Will they survive? In book 2 "Tending Her Heart" the author does a great job of telling a story about a strong woman that has strong feelings and is not afraid to fight for what she believes in. Plus there is a secondary plot about women's rights and how much has changed for women since the setting of this book, even in childbirth. This is a great anthology that has a strong man and a strong woman willing to stand up and do what is right. What is left? The last story is about a romance that can never be, but with a little holiday spirit anything is possible. I am giving this book a 4/5. I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
