Sunshine for Christmas by Mary Jo Putney

Randolph and Elizabeth know what they are doing as they travel through Naples and the surrounding countryside. I genuinely adore Mary Jo Putney’s more mature leading characters. Meg is a magnificent head of the household and ensures that everyone has a place, even after many disappointments, including losing her old house.Įverything clicked for me in this novella. Watching him enjoy the comforts of a family that he never had is one of the joys of this novella. Jack’s easygoing manner meshes well with the goings-on in Meg’s home. Still, in this case, Mary Jo Putney has a beautiful way of making it all work. Cases of mistaken identity don’t always end well. This is a delightful story about finding a family. This one is worth reading if you’re looking for a sweet holiday romance. It didn’t take long for Jenny to get the prod to talk through what they wanted, thankfully. It fell apart somewhat in the last two chapters when they both assumed they knew what the other wanted.

They are both older and settled into their careers, so there is less angst at the beginning because they both know what they want. Watching Jenny and Greg work together to save her hometown Tithe Barn is a joy. I laughed, smiled, and ended the anthology wanting to read more. The stories were written between 19, but they all hold up well. Mary Jo Putney’s collection of Christmas stories shines. The great thing about anthologies entirely by an author I enjoy is that I know I will like all of the novellas, which is the case with this one.
