Jane Feather
leads an unwitting Yuletide traveler down a twisting path....

Review:

A book with 3 shorts that are fantastic. A good way to pass a cold day curled on your couch with hot chocolate in hand.
 
A Holiday Gamble (Jane)
The first story in this set and quite a tale at that. Most of the story is from Ned's point of view. I enjoyed his character but Georgie's character liven  up the story. When you first meet Shelby's character you know Ned has found trouble but I never predicted it would play out as it did. I go lost in this story quickly and enjoyed it a lot.

When Sparks Fly (Sabrina)
I found myself smiling a lot in this little tale despite all the tragedy in this story. I loved Elli's bright personality. She was so easy to connect with. Martin was great, his tormented soul was the best opposite to Elli. I loved the kids and Mr. Huggett. I loved this story period. A perfect read.

Highlander (Julia)
This story was slower than the other two but just as wonderful. I thin I liked the ending best because I want it to carry on and hope that there is a sequel too this tory. Duncan was a great character for being mostly silent, very well written. Fiona was so chatty but it worked. Normally I hate that in characters but this time it kept the story going with the mostly mute Duncan.
