Then Comes Winter with bluster and snow, that brings to our cheeks the ruddy glow… Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, The Four Seasons If you long for a toasty snuggle on a cold winter’s night, this compilation of original short stories inspired by the magic of the holiday season-and more than a nod to Jane Austen-is fancied as a sublime wintertime treat.

With a robust mix of contemporary and Regency musings, Then Comes Winter rekindles passionate fires with equal wonder, wit, and admiration. Stories by: Lory Lilian, Linda Gonschior, Suzan Lauder, Beau North & Brooke West, Sophia Rose, Natalie Richards, Anngela Schroeder, Melanie Stanford, Denise Stout, Erin Lopez, Maureen Lee

REVIEW

Christmas Miracle on Oyster Bay by Denise Stout

Right from the start this story got my attention because the setting is located in Southern Maryland (where I live), the female main character owns a bookstore (my dream), and her name is Lissa (I’m a Lisa). Off to a great start and does not disappoint. I really liked the way the unexpected relationship, attraction, and romance developed. Not too slow, not too fast. This is a sweet, warm, and romantic read. The perfect length to read for a break in holiday decorating. A nice updated Pride and Prejudice romance.

NOTE:  So far I have only read Christmas Miracle on Oyster Bay from this anthology. I will update review as I read more stories.
