Review: Under the Texas Mistletoe

Under the Texas Mistletoe 

"In this 3-in-1 novella collection, bestselling author Karen Witemeyer presents the new story "A Texas Christmas Carol," in which a town's wealthy, Scrooge-like bachelor finds his world invaded by a woman set on earning his donation for helping the local poor, and by the penetrating questions of three mysterious visitors.

It also includes, for the first time in print, "An Archer Family Christmas." When the Archer clan gathers for the Christmas holiday, an unexpected request for help leaves Cassandra Archer directly in the path of a dangerous outlaw. Desperate to protect the woman he loves, Jim Archer races to the rescue, only to find that Cassie's life is not the only one in peril. It will take a Christmas miracle--and the entire Archer clan--to keep a second Archer Christmas from ending in disaster.

In previously published "Gift of the Heart," a widow and her young daughter move to Hope Springs for a fresh start. But with no money to secure a home, Ruth must convince a wealthy resort owner to accept her heirloom brooch as collateral. Will the pin that brought love to three generations soften the heart of a wounded recluse and give Ruth a second chance at love as the holidays draw near?"

A Texas Christmas Carol

Ahh! I’m so excited to finally read this story. I remember when it was just a story idea being tossed around in the Posse group on FB.

As always Karen KILLED it with all her great writing skills!
She took a well known story and made it her own while bringing all the glory to God. The scripture was so important to the characters it just naturally poured out of them.

The TRUE meaning of Christmas!
I looovveeed Evan & Felicity so much. Her constant joy and his Scroogeyness (some of my favorite themes)
I loved their love story slowly unfold, but also Evan’s change! Just goes to show you no one is too far gone.

I loved loved loved it!
5/5 stars

An Archer Family Christmas

We’re back with the Archers, and my heart couldn’t be happier.
Even after all the years that have passed since I’ve read the Archer series I felt like I was coming home. It felt familiar. Comforting. It was perfect!

Not a single ounce of the Archer family chemistry/love was missing from the pages of this story!

I LOVED being back on the ranch, and seeing the Archers come together in a time of crisis, but most importantly in a time of celebration.

Tears might’ve been shed when I got to the end.
5/5 stars

Gift of the Heart

This story was just as adorable the second time around! I loved Ruth & Bo and their sweet love story!
It’s just such a wholesome, heartfelt story! Not judging books by the cover and finding love again!

It makes me want to reread the whole “Heirloom” collection again.
5/5 stars
