Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Quilts and Christmas themes run through this collection of four romantic novellas. In Palmer's "Lone Star," Texan Star Ellis reluctantly travels to England to wed a nobleman. On the voyage over, she meets her intended husband's black sheep brother and ends up falling in love. Debra White Smith's "The Wedding Ring" sends Rose Brandon to Denver to return a wedding-ring quilt to her recently deceased grandmother's early love. Although the man is unforgiving, she does meet his doctor son. In Ginny Aiken's "Log Cabin Patch," Melissa Barnhart and her surly brother Craig relocate to a logging town where she has a job as a cook. Her rocky meeting with mill owner Cal Stevenson ends happily. "Crosses and Losses" is Peggy Stoks's contribution. Joyce and Samuel Colburn's marriage, strained since the death of their daughter, is healed by the Christmas season. Although these light romantic tales are fairly pedestrian, undemanding readers should find much to enjoy here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Charming!, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Victorian Christmas Quilt: Lone Star/The Wedding Ring/Log Cabin Patch/Crosses and Losses (HeartQuest Anthology) (Paperback)

This is one of those books you grab as you sit in your favorite chair with your coziest throw blanket wrapped around you and a nice hot cup of cocoa. The stories are short and pleasant. This is one you will want to pass around and share. Filled with all the charm and nostalgia of a great holiday reader.

This review is from: A Victorian Christmas Quilt: Lone Star/The Wedding Ring/Log Cabin Patch/Crosses and Losses (HeartQuest Christmas Anthology) (Hardcover)

The shipment of my order came in a very timely manner, and in even better condition than was indicated on the description. As this was my very first ever on-line order, it was a great relief to me. I'd order from this company again in a second.
As far as the book itself, I have one other volume in the series and read it every Christmas! The stories never get old. My only regret, that there aren't more hardcover books in this series.
