Can they find a place to put their hearts and hope this Christmas?
Beloved authors Tracie Peterson, Misty M. Beller, and Karen Witemeyer come together with this festive novella collection inspired by the Nativity story and filled with faith, promise, and romance.
The Shepherd’s Heart by Tracie Peterson
On the frontier, widowed sheep rancher Vincent Duran seeks a mother for his two children. Angel Lewis agrees to marry him despite believing Vincent will never truly love her, but as they work together during a fierce winter storm, will their broken hearts finally find peace, joy, and love?
No Room at the Inn by Misty M. Beller
When Noah Bentwood and his charge are snowed in while traveling through the Rocky Mountains, he must stay in a barn since the stage inn has no vacant rooms. Then innkeeper Hope Palmer’s family heirloom disappears, and she and Noah work together to find it before Christmas. While the snowfall holds them captive, will unexpected feelings bloom?
A Star in the West by Karen Witemeyer
Friendly correspondence with Stella Barrington evolves into something more when Harvard mathematics professor Frank Stentz arrives in Waco, Texas. As the two experiment with extending their relationship beyond letters, an impossible dilemma arises between love and logic. Will her wise man be able to calculate a way for them to be together?
My Review:
A wonderful collection of classic Western tales with a festive twist.
Tracie Peterson’s story features a jilted bride and a marriage of convenience between old friends. Misty M. Beller explores one of my favourite wintery tropes – stranded in a snowstorm – as the backdrop for a Christmas anomaly, an inn that actually makes room for weary travellers. And Karen Witemeyer’s unique spin on the ‘wisemen’ is a lovely mix of humour and inspiration.
Three beloved authors share their distinctive storytelling styles in this heartwarming collection that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas.

I found this one in the large print edition at my new public library. 🙂 I’m looking forward to a new season of Christmas books too. Just preordered Toni Shiloh’s novella, Matchmaking Christmas…on audible…it’s $32 for a paperback up here! Happy Reading, Tracey!

$32! crazy price! I think your audio sale prices are comparable to our ebook prices. We readers have to find the best deals to make our habit affordable 🙂

ON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR is most definitely already on my TBR list. I can’t wait for the opportunity to dive in to reading it. Love the Christmas stories year round. And this time of year a book of novellas is perfect. I can pick it up read one and then go do what needs to be done in between each one.
Thank you so much for the fabulous chance to win a copy!

That’s what I did, Kay. Each novella is easy to read in a sitting and I actually finished the book over a few days while reading other books in between. Good luck!

Funny, I thought I had read this one too when I saw it at the library but I hadn’t. I think I saw it so much online last year that it felt like I must have read it. 🙂 Good luck, Paula!

Since it’s 100 + degrees every day, please bring on the Christmas books. I just started Belle’s Christmas Carol by Michelle Griep, so I’m definitely ready!

Ugh! We are having fresher days now and I am so grateful! I was hoping that Belle’s Christmas Carol would come out in audio book format but it doesn’t look like. The paperback copy is fairly steep here, especially for a shorter novel. I’ll have to wait and see. Love that cover though. Good luck, Perrianne!
