True Love Gave to Me

Could Probably Recommend

Since this is a compilation with 4 different authors I will try to speak in generalities with maybe only one specific.  
I liked how all the stories took place in the same geographical area so the main characters in each story were referenced in the other stories as well.
I felt like pretty much all of them had just a little bit {Too Much Passion} for my liking with the added objection of a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments} in Anne Farleigh's story.
However, overall, I enjoyed the book and all of its festive tales.
I could probably feel comfortable recommending this book to others.

The Gentlewoman Farmer

 



***
PG
Could Easily Recommend

I sought this book out because it was written by a woman that was in a writing class I took a few years ago from Julianne Donaldson.  It's been fun to follow a few of these women who have actually gone on to publish.
I thought it was a sweet story with a somewhat atypical storyline which was nice :)
I did feel like there were a few moments where the conversation/experiences was not super realistic and I thought the very last few sentences in the book were a bit suggestive (even though they are married) but other than those two things I didn't have any complaints.
 I applaud Emily for her debut novel and would be able to easily recommend it to anyone.
