Under The Mistletoe - Mary Balogh
4 Stars!
ABOUT THE BOOK -
In this beautifully written “Christmas gift to her readers” (Booklist) New York Times
bestselling author Mary Balogh draws on the warmth of the holiday
season to heal the wounds of the human heart in five cherished novellas
of family, friends, lovers, and strangers....
In A Family Christmas, an estranged husband and wife make an unexpected connection—and an illuminating discovery—during the holiday season.
The Star of Bethlehem is a lost diamond ring causing a riff in an already troubled marriage until a servant solves not one mystery but three surrounding its disappearance.
The Best Gift can come at the most unexpected moments, especially for a lonesome teacher enlisted over the holidays to chaperone the niece of a notorious rake.
Playing House finds an impoverished young woman longing to celebrate just one last, joyous Christmas before she and her orphaned siblings are separated forever.
No Room at the Inn, a winter storm on Christmas Eve brings a young couple in from the cold, desperately in need of warmth and shelter for their unborn child.

No Room at the Inn - 4.5 Stars - Wonderful story. I loved how everyone's Christmas changed after the birth of a child and how they all came together in the end to help. There were a lot of characters and the author did a great job with every one of them.
