Holiday Bliss by Kathleen Shoop, Marcy Waldenville, and JD Wylde & 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.

My Thoughts…

I did not read the first book in this series, but do not know that you have to read it to enjoy this one.   Holiday Bliss is a three book collection by Kathleen Shoop, Marcy Waldenville, and JD Wylde.   Marcy and JD are new authors to me and Kathleen Shoop is an author that I have read and enjoyed before. 

I want a house like Bliss, where families come and go yet the pride for the place is passed on from family to family.   The traditions are also carried on by the different families that live in Bliss.   While each story has different characters the setting of the town was the same.  It was fun to see how the different era’s affected the town, the people, and Bliss.     

Each of these stories is a short and enjoyable story to read.   The characters are interesting and for the most part relatable.   There were a few characters that grated on me the wrong way, but I was able to continue with the story and be satisfied with where their story ended.   

This is a series of short stories that someone looking for a fun holiday read should definitely check out.

"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."

"Loved the book! It's my first anthology and I couldn't wait to get to the next story for the continuation. Can't wait to read these authors' next books."
