Book Description:
As the holidays approach, Colette King is eager for Matthew Mueller’s return to Shadow Lake. Especially now that she has finally surrendered to the truth—that the friend she has known forever, the first man she ever kissed, is the one she longs to spend her life with. So when Mattie shows up at her sister’s wedding with another woman on his arm, Colette’s hopes are shattered. To heal her broken heart, she begins a quilt honoring her memories of Mattie. But every square she adds only makes her yearn for him more . . .
Matthew’s new inheritance comes with a lot of responsibilities—including his late-uncle’s deathbed request that he marry the woman who was his ward. But from the moment Mattie sees Colette again, he wishes he could escape his familial duty, even though doing so could bring scandal upon his mamm and daed. Will his desire to protect his parents cost him the life—and the love—he dreams of? Or can faith work a Christmas miracle that blesses all . . .
My Thoughts: A Great Mix of Romance and Intrigue
The Christmas Quilt is a great mix of romance and intrigue. It kept me turning pages with one surprise after another which included a sensitive topic which the author handled flawlessly. I was drawn into the characters and taken through a myriad of emotions as I felt all that they were feeling. It kept me wondering how Matthew and Collette's story would turn out, especially with Shelah in the mix. While she was not my favorite character, I found myself trying to figure out what made her tick. Finding the answer to that one brought yet another surprise which resulted in an interesting turn of events. This blend of romance, twists and turns, perseverance, trust and intrigue resulted in a fantastic story that is sure to be enjoyed by all who read it.
