Finding Father Christmas / Engaging
Father Christmas
(Father Christmas #1-2)
by Robin Jones Gunn
By beloved author Robin Jones Gunn, two
timeless, heartwarming Christmas novellas bound together for the first time in
an omnibus edition.
In
FINDING FATHER CHRISTMAS, Miranda Carson's search for her father leads her
unexpectedly to London with only a few feeble clues as to who he might be.
Immediately welcomed into a family that doesn't recognize her, and whom she's
quickly coming to love, she faces a terrible decision. Should she reveal her
true identity and destroy their idyllic image of her father? Or should she
carry the truth home with her to San Francisco and remain alone in this world?
Whatever choice she makes during this London Christmas will forever change the
future for both herself and the family she can't bear to leave.
In
ENGAGING FATHER CHRISTMAS, Miranda Carson can't wait to return to England for
Christmas and to be with her boyfriend, Ian. She has spent a lifetime yearning
for a place to call home, and she's sure Carlton Heath will be it, especially
when a hinted-at engagement ring slips into the conversation. But Miranda's
high hopes for a jolly Christmas with the small circle of people she has come
to love are toppled when Ian's father is hospitalized and the matriarch of the
Whitcombe family withholds her blessing from Miranda. Questions run rampant in
Miranda's mind about whether she really belongs in this cheery corner of the world.
Then, when her true identity threatens all her relationships in unanticipated
ways, Miranda is certain all is lost. And yet . . . maybe Father Christmas has
special gifts in store for her after all.

I have a soft spot for holiday romance stories with
happily ever after’s, so when I was given the opportunity to read Finding Father Christmas/Engaging Father
Christmas I was beyond happy. The
first thing that grabbed my attention was the charming cover for the book. The colors remind me of a vintage Christmas card
and it just has that cozy holiday feel to it.
The stories themselves did not disappoint as I found myself caught up in
a lovely and heartwarming story of love, faith and the true reason of the
holiday season. I was instantly caught
up in Miranda’s story from the very beginning and was ecstatic that both
novellas were combined in one book, right at my fingertips, so that I could
continue right along without a pause.
These two charming and heartwarming stories are perfect
for not only the Christmas season, but for any day of the year. Ms. Gunn’s
style of writing is elegant and so beautifully detailed that I felt as though I
could actually visualize the story unfolding right before my very eyes. I fell in love with the charming English village
and the characters as Miranda searched for the father she never had the
opportunity to know and the revelation that her true Father was always with
her, providing her with the courage needed to find the truth and discovering so
much more.
Grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage, seat in your
favorite chair next to a roaring fire and enjoy both of these clean, inspiring and
enchanting stories that will be sure to get you in the Christmas spirit and
give you that warm and cozy feeling that we all crave and desire.
