Book Review
Reviewed by Joana James for Readers Favorite

"Christmas Gems" is a quaint little collection of romantic Christmas stories. The four stories, 'The Christmas Magi of Birch Bay', 'Wings of Love', 'A Christmas Surprise' and 'Mistletoe and Holly' were all about romantic Christmas miracles. In one story two lovers sold their most prized possessions in order to give each other the Christmas gifts they desired most only to find that their gifts were for these same prized possessions. In another story a man in love is determined to take it slow whilst the women he loves is waiting impatiently for him to declare his love.

In 'A Christmas surprise', a young girl leaves her brother unattended and he is abducted. One year later, she finds him along with true love. This one was my personal favorite. In the final story, a self-proclaimed grinch is snowed in with a beauty who absolutely loves Christmas. All the stories result in a magical Christmas where all parties involved get the one thing they wish for most.

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories, getting angry at the characters at times and at others laughing at their awkwardness and other antics. I was rooting for the guys to get their girl. This little book is the perfect thing for a quiet Christmas. It brought joy to my heart and a smile to my face. It really speaks to the magic of Christmas. The general theme was that real love will flourish if given a chance and with Christmas being all about love, I find it the perfect Christmas Gem.
