In this Christmas collection, Weise men still seek Jesus–and love
Best-selling romance authors Caudill, Putman, and Strong follow three generations of the Weise family in this third collection of Christmas novellas from Kregel that will prove just as popular as the previous award-winning volumes.
“Star of Wonder” by Crystal Caudill
The Christmas-themed maiden voyage of his family’s grand steamer ship was supposed to be Aldrich Weise’s chance both to instill investor confidence and to romance Celestia Isaacs. Instead, he must foil a criminal and leave his lady love behind forever.
“Beauty Bright” by Cara Putman
Lieutenant Charles Weise served as a Monuments Man after World War II and now works to restore stolen art to rightful owners. Captain Lillian Thorsen pairs up with him not only to return treasures but also to fix the war-torn lives around them.
“Perfect Light” by Angela Ruth Strong
Essential oils mogul Brendon Wise is drawn to Lacey Foster, the event planner for his huge Christmas lights festival. But when he inadvertently makes a spectacle of her on television, Lacey wants nothing to do with him. Will a chance to give gifts to those in need at Christmas be the key to discovering common ground–and maybe love?
My Review:
A wonderful collection of Christmas novellas written by some talented authors. While each story is unique, they are linked by the generational ties of the Weise family.
Crystal Caudill starts us off in 1884 with a shipboard romance fraught with mystery and adventure. Fast forward to the end of WWII in 1945 and Cara Putman brings the Monument Men to life as Lieutenant Charles Weise works to restore stolen art to their rightful owners. And finally, Angela Ruth Strong takes us into present day with an unusual holiday romance that just happens to feature my least favourite trope but she nailed it!
Nice variety, compelling stories and the generational link makes this collection shine.

Kav, I just recently finished reading the collection you gave away last year (thanks again!) so this is perfect timing 😉 I enjoyed Crystal Caudill’s counterfeiting series, so I’m interested in reading more from her!

Isn’t it fun to discover new Christmas collections? I’ve only read one of that counterfeiting series but the other two books are on my radar. This collection has a nice mix of storytelling styles. Good luck, Stephanie!

Love the cover! WE THREE KINGS sounds like an exceptional combination of not only 3 novellas, but also 3 wonderful authors. Love the way the stories are spread out (and over some wonderful time frames) and at the same time are linked by family. All in all, definitely a book I would enjoy reading and I’ve added it to my TBR list.
Thank you for the wonderful chance to win a copy! It would be a wonderful addition to Christmas reading.
