The Amish Cowboy's Christmas by Adina Senft
In the beginning, there was no Circle M ranch. Thirty years ago, there was only the girl next door and the boy who was too shy to tell her he loved her...For Reuben, showing Naomi he's the right man for her will take all the courage and love in his heart—and maybe even a Christmas miracle.

Tess is brokenhearted when her childhood sweetheart marries another. As she works in her aunt and uncle's bakery, she begins to find that God's plan is much better than what we want for ourselves. Joseph finds a job for his rebellious daughter at the bakery, but Joseph doesn't expect to find love again.

Ben thinks Christmas is too commercialized, but it’s Beth's favorite holiday. Can friends—whose combined business skills have improved both businesses—overcome their differences? Or will the disagreement cost them money . . . and love?

His Amish marriage is in trouble. Will Joseph find a way to repair it?

She’s already in a relationship with a minister’s son. Christopher seems to be everything Judy Mishler has dreamed about, but is Christopher a genuine hero, or is he just a pretender? Will it take a Christmas miracle for them to find their happily ever after?

I feel very fortunate to have the pleasure to read the story written by Jennifer Spredemann, entitled Unlikely Singing. This was a sweet story of two Amish people who have a chance meeting at a wedding they were both attending. This young woman stayed on Christopher's mind after the wedding, but he had no idea how he would be able to contact her since she was not from his community. Judy seems to be the girl of his dreams and he is hopeful that somehow they will be able to get to know one another, only to discover that she was being courted by another.
It's a very enjoyable read and I liked it very much. The story shows we need to have trust in God and faith that he will show us the way to move forward in our life. Very nice addition to this collection of stories! I recommend it!
I received an ebook copy of this story from the author and was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
I love Amish stories and this story by Jennifer Beckstrand did not disappoint. I love the mischievous Amish twins, Alfie and Benji, who are always good at those necessary matchmaker needs. If love doesn't go as it should, you can be sure twins are on it! True to form, a fun and sweet Amish romance as told by Jennifer Beckstrand.
This story was one of ten delightful Christmas Miracle stories and so fun. A second chance for Jerry and Mary. Will the twins succeed in their sneaky plans or get themselves in trouble, as usual!
Truly a sweet and tender story mixed with some humor. Although I am reading it after the holidays, it is every bit as good as before. I recommend these sweet stories and hope you take the time to read them!

I was beyond excited when I found out there would be a More Amish Christmas Miracles collection this year! As with its predecessor, this collection is full of sweet, heartwarming romances that remind us of the Greatest Love that we celebrate. It’s a lovely way to get a taste for each new-to-you-author’s style and cozy up to a touching story from your already-faves.
No Room at the Inn by Rachel J. Good
What a great way to start off this collection – this story has it all. A blizzard, a romance, a touching parallel to the first Christmas, and a heartfelt reminder of the Reason for the season. I especially enjoyed the plot to this novella, as my family and I were once stranded in a hotel for Christmas during a blizzard and I could relate to several of the emotions reflected in the various characters. There’s a certain bittersweet emotion when Christmas is ‘different’ from how it’s always been, isn’t there? The author did a great job of capturing that mood and adding meaningful touches to help the characters – and the readers – find joy in spite of the circumstances.
Unlikely Singing by Jennifer Spredemann
We’ve all seen the movies where two characters lock gazes across the room and something just connects in their respective hearts. But they can’t connect in person for whatever reason and then the storyline follows from there as they try to track down ‘the one’. I always love stories like this, so I definitely enjoyed the way Christopher & Judy’s romance began. What I also appreciated was that the reconnection is both realistic and not the end of the story. Their journey to happily-ever-after is, of course, not without its obstacles, and the author uses those bumps in the road to give the characters more dimension and to keep their story authentic. It’s also a gentle reminder that God still works miracles when we let Him write the narrative.
Huckleberry Hill Secret Santa by Jennifer Beckstrand
I adore Jennifer Beckstrand’s books, her way with words, her humor, and her heart – and the way that all comes through on every page. I also adore Anna and Felty from the Huckleberry Hill series so I was especially excited that we get to hang out with Anna’s brothers, particularly Elmer, circa 1958, in this story. I loved seeing his occasional perspective on Anna & Felty’s relationship (and Anna’s unique cooking style), and I chuckled often at his general observations on the events around him. Elmer is a perfectly delightful hero in his own right, but the star of this story is Rosie. Her character growth is the icing on the cinnamon roll, so to speak, and I loved the gentle notes of grace and redemption we see played out as she begins to think of others.
Snowflake Wishes by Mary Alford
I am still grinning at the sheer adorableness of Norie & Neva, the precious twin daughters of our hero, Tobias. The grieving threesome is still adjusting to the tragic death of their wife/mother last year, but as their guest cottage is playing host to the new schoolteacher Hannah (who is also hurting) and her mother they all just may find the healing they need. I loved the interactions between Norie, Neva & Hannah – and Tobias’ response to watching his girls blossom under her freely-given affection. While I of course loved the romance that develops between Tobias & Hannah, it was the warmth that radiated from this story that delighted me the most.
The Amish Cowboy’s Christmas by Adina Senft
The first thing I loved about this story from Adina Senft is that it’s set in Montana – we don’t get many Amish stories set on the Western side of the US, so it was fun to sorta shift gears from farming to ranching. The Montana landscape in winter is an added bonus! I also loved that this is a prequel to her Montana Millers series, the origin story, if you will, of the Circle M Ranch and the love story that accompanies it. While I haven’t yet read those books, I want to now for sure! This story is a girl-next-door romance with layered characters and an overall sweetness to the tone that warms the heart.
Joseph’s Christmas Box by Serena B. Miller
Not everybody’s Christmas is full of cheer – sometimes grief, regret, and tragedy mar the celebration. Miller’s contribution to this collection takes us through a range of heartwrenching stuff and allows the characters and the readers to process the emotions involved, but don’t mistakenly think that it’s too heavy of a story. Because it also reminds us that there is always some measure of joy to be found – most often when we put someone else’s needs ahead of our own. I loved the way the various threads in this novella come together for a tender ending of generosity and hope that leaves us wanting to spend more time with these characters. I’m definitely going to be picking up Bertha’s story too because I’m very intrigued by her subplot.
The Sweetest Gift by Susan Lantz Simpson
A young man who suddenly becomes a father to his best friend’s orphaned little girl. A young widow trying her best to provide for her children & keep them happy & healthy. Elijah & Lydia’s ‘meet-cute’ is really more of a clash lol, but the way that Lydia and her children (especially her daughter) befriend adorable Ruby soon melts readers’ hearts as well as Elijah’s. I really enjoyed watching these two little families become friends, the perfect gift for each other at just the right time, blending their hearts into something more permanent as Elijah and Lydia fall in love. I’m also glad to know that Esther (a character you’ll love too) has her own book, one that I will for sure be checking out. A very sweet story with plenty of chances to smile!
Made-To-Order Christmas by Dana R. Lynn
Tess, recovering from a humiliating breakup, travels to help her ailing aunt and uncle with their bakery and ends up working with a hurting young adolescent who is on the cusp of rebellion. I think many women will see themselves in both Tess and Catherine, at different stages of our lives – at the least, we can relate to their feelings. The chemistry between Tess and Joseph (Catherine’s widowed father) is immediate and intense. You can feel the sparks zinging back and forth across the pages, and they were my favorite romance in this collection!
The Christmas Letter by Loree Lough
Ok so I know I just said that Joseph & Tess were my favorite romance but I actually think they’re tied with Ben & Beth in Loree Lough’s story. I loved their differences – especially about Christmas – because it added some great layers to their characters and to the story. One of the subplots hit a bit close to home for some grieving I’ve been doing lately so in that aspect it was a difficult read for me in places BUT it was nonetheless done with grace and warmth. And the tone of the story never gets too heavy – the sweetness & light of Ben & Beth’s relationship shines joy throughout.
Hosea’s Christmas Miracle by Ashley Emma
The final story in this wonderful collection is a loose retelling of the Biblical account of Hosea and Gomer. I was really intrigued to see how this touching story would play out in an Amish setting, and I think the author did a great job of reimagining the various elements in ways that made sense but still pointed back to the main themes of grace and restoration. The story is one that can be enjoyed on its own, even if you’re not familiar with the Biblical basis for this retelling. The characters are layered and the emotions are authentically drawn. I would love a follow-up to this story, set some years down the road, to see how their lives have changed in the meantime.
Bottom Line: Ten fabulous authors. Ten heartwarming stories. Ten sweet romances. Ten gentle reminders of the true meaning of Christmas. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a great way to introduce yourself to new authors & revisit your faves. If you’re looking for a book to curl up with this season, More Amish Christmas Miracles is an excellent choice!

I read one story "The Sweetest Gift" by Susan Lantz Simpson. If this sweet, beautifully written story is an indication of the others in this compilation, readers are in for a reading treat. Susan's main characters, Lydia and Elijah, have a rough first meeting. But in time their individual stories of pain and loss draw them together. Several topics show the reader that everyone has issues, no matter their faith. But faith and loving family make it bearable.

I've read "The Sweetest Gift" by Susan Lantz Simpson and loved it. It was just the day brightener I needed. The characters were so relatable and I found myself rooting for Elijah and Lydia from the get-go. I loved that Elijah took in his best friend's daughter, and then Lydia connected with her.
Great story! And I'm looking forward to reading the others!

Review of the story “Unlikely Singing”:
“I guess it would take a miracle to find her again.”
“Maybe. But the last I heard, Der Herr is still in the business of miracles.”
(Quote from the story.)
This sweet story is part of the “More Amish Christmas Miracles” collection.
With this story, author Jennifer Spredemann gives us a Christmas romance between Christopher and Judy, two Amish young adults who first saw each other at an Amish wedding, but did not have an opportunity to meet. Each one never forgot the other, but found it impossible to find a way to communicate. When they do meet again unexpectedly, they are immediately attracted to each other, but their courtship is anything but smooth. It will take faith, hope, and love on both their parts to give them the Christmas miracle they are seeking.
I enjoyed this sweet story and was cheering on Christopher and Judy to find their happily-ever-after. I am looking forward to reading more beautiful stories like this one in the “More Amish Christmas Miracles” collection.
I received a copy of this story from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Unlikely Singing was a very good story to read. Christopher has never forgotten Judy. He first saw her at a Amish wedding. He sees her again later and knows she has to meet her. This is about hope, never giving up , trusting and listening to God when you ask for his help. Very very good!!!!

More Amish Christmas Miracles: 10 Heartwarming Stories to Brighten Your Winter Nights
This second collection of sweet, heartfelt Christmas stories is brought to you this holiday season by ten USA Today bestselling authors: Jennifer Beckstrand, Jennifer Spredemann, Rachel J. Good, Serena B. Miller, Ashley Emma, Susan Simpson, Dana R. Lynn, Adina Senft, Mary Alford, and Loree Lough.
Unlikely Singing by Jennifer Spredemann
The moment Christopher Stoltz met the mysterious young Amish woman at his cousin’s wedding, he knew there was something special about her. But they’d only spoken briefly and he’d failed to get her name—or discover which Amish district she was from, to his dismay. So when they cross paths again, he vows not to make the same mistake twice. There’s one little problem, though. She’s already in a relationship with a minister’s son.
Judy Mishler is shocked when she attends church in her beau’s new district and reconnects with the handsome mystery man she’d met over the summer. Not only is Christopher Stoltz brave, but he seems to be everything she’s dreamed about, and their chemistry—something missing with her current beau—is undeniable. But is Christopher a genuine hero, or is he just a pretender?
Will it take a Christmas miracle for them to find their happily ever after?
This is Judy Mishler and Christopher Stoltz's story.
“It looks like Chris Stoltz might be sweet on you.” “Who?”
The maedel pointed to the young man sitting next to Eddie’s bruder John, and she couldn’t stop her heart from fluttering.
Ach, it was the handsome young man she’d briefly spoken with at the wedding she’d attended with her bruder. She’d thought of him many times since their brief encounter.
“He can’t seem to take his eyes off you.”
If only. “I never even got her name.” Worst mistake of his life. “Besides, she was there with a date. I didn’t get his name either.”
“Wasn’t it your cousin’s wedding? Wouldn’t he know?”
“I asked. He had no clue who I was even talking about. It was probably a cousin of a cousin of a friend or something. You know how it goes.” If only he had a photograph of her—something more than the fading intangible image filed away in his brain.
I highly recommend reading.
Unlikely Singing by Jennifer Spredemann is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Jennifer Spredemann.

The Amish Cowboy’s Christmas by Adina Senft
In the beginning, there was no Circle M ranch. Thirty years ago, there was only the girl next door and the boy who was too shy to tell her he loved her…For Reuben, showing Naomi he’s the right man for her will take all the courage and love in his heart—and maybe even a Christmas miracle.

Unlikely Singing by Jennifer Spredemann
The moment Christopher Stoltz met the mysterious young Amish woman at his cousin’s wedding, he knew there was something special about her. But they’d only spoken briefly and he’d failed to get her name—or discover which Amish district she was from, to his dismay. So when they cross paths again, he vows not to make the same mistake twice. There’s one little problem, though. She’s already in a relationship with a minister’s son.
Judy Mishler is shocked when she attends church in her beau’s new district and reconnects with the handsome mystery man she’d met over the summer. Not only is Christopher Stoltz brave, but he seems to be everything she’s dreamed about, and their chemistry—something missing with her current beau—is undeniable. But is Christopher a genuine hero, or is he just a pretender?
Will it take a Christmas miracle for them to find their happily ever after?
This is Judy Mishler and Christopher Stoltz's story.
“It looks like Chris Stoltz might be sweet on you.” “Who?”
The maedel pointed to the young man sitting next to Eddie’s bruder John, and she couldn’t stop her heart from fluttering.
Ach, it was the handsome young man she’d briefly spoken with at the wedding she’d attended with her bruder. She’d thought of him many times since their brief encounter.
“He can’t seem to take his eyes off you.”
If only. “I never even got her name.” Worst mistake of his life. “Besides, she was there with a date. I didn’t get his name either.”
“Wasn’t it your cousin’s wedding? Wouldn’t he know?”
“I asked. He had no clue who I was even talking about. It was probably a cousin of a cousin of a friend or something. You know how it goes.” If only he had a photograph of her—something more than the fading intangible image filed away in his brain.
I highly recommend reading.
Unlikely Singing by Jennifer Spredemann is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Jennifer Spredemann.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this story.

This is a review on "Hosea's Undying Love" by Ashley Emma.
Hosea and Gomer grew up together in the same Amish community. One day, he realized that she had grown into a lovely young woman.
I received an ARC, and this is my honest opinion.

The Sweetest Gift, Susan Lantz Simpson
In this chaotic time, my heart longs for the sweetness of the season. Lopsided snowmen, squealing children on sleds, delicious holiday treats and most of all, the love of family. Susan Lantz Simpson’s novella, The Sweetest Gift, was a wonderful reminder of the meaning of Christmas. Single mother Lydia and struggling father Elijah live out the difficulties many parents have experienced including special health concerns and broken families. They are two people who have endured profound disappointment and are fearful to risk their hearts and that of their children. Lydia and Elijah will discover the greatest gift of love which Christ first shared with the world on that long ago Christmas day. Their story will delight and enhance your Christmas season.
I was honored to receive this novella from the collection as a gift and my review reflects my personal opinion.

More Amish Christmas Miracles is a wonderful collection of Christmas stories that will brighten your heart and shine a light on the holiday season. Each and every story has it’s own unique heartfelt storyline that will leave you wishing this special gift would keep giving, many more chapters because you won’t want to say goodbye to these characters. I throughly enjoyed each and every story and I know you will as well. I only hope we will be gifted with more books just like this. The only suggestion I would have is for us who love to hold the actual book it would be nice to have this in a set so the book is not so large, it was hard to hold being so large, however I would still recommend this wonderful book and really hope we see more like it.

Amish Christmas
Amish life is not an easy one in the physical sense, but the dedication to God should be emulated by the "English."

The Miracles of Christ
I liked all the stories written. The miracle of Homer coming home for good. God shows us his love no matter what our carnal minds think.
