I really enjoyed the Amish Christmas Twins, 3 novellas in a "twin" theme. I am very familiar with two of the author's works, but was new to Loree Lough. I enjoyed all three. It was fun to read about twins and all that surrounds them, especially the mischief!

The stories deal with loss, Christmas Spirit and are all heartwarming and enjoyable. Christmas is a joyful time, and these stories all included happy endings. I love Amish fiction and these stories were definitely good examples of this. I especially liked the second story.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

Amish Christmas Twins is 3 short stories in one. All three are wonderful stories. The first is sad and heartwarming as it deals with two kids who loose their parents and go into foster care. I really enjoyed these and highly suggest for anyone who likes Amish books.
Thank you to netgalley, the authors and Kensington books for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

For those readers who may have read other Amish novels by these the authors, the characters will be quite familiar in this charming collection. Each set of twins featured in the stories will touch reader's hearts as Christmastime time draws near. Very enjoyable! Recommended!

Amish Christmas Twins contains three novellas featuring twins who can be double the trouble and double the love. Keep the tissue box handy as each story will pull at your heartstrings. Christmas is a time of miracles and that could not be more evident for the three Amish families in these stories where faith and hope are hallmarks. This trio of authors have written timeless stories that will especially resonate during the Christmas season. Do not miss it!
I was given a copy a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions are my own.

Amish Christmas Twins is not just one story but it is three short stories about Amish families. So you get three heartwarming stories in one book!
Each story will touch you in different ways....each story will touch your heart.
I enjoyed reading these stories of hope, family, overcoming loss and holding onto your beliefs no matter what happens.
Sometimes reading a well written, wholesome book is needed and these stories certainly filled this need for me.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion.

I just finished reading an advanced copy of Amish Christmas Twins, a collection of 3 absolutely heart-warming stories by 3 of my favorite authors: Shelley Shepard Gray, Rachel J. Good, and Loree Lough!! I couldn't recommend this collection more, especially as we await the holidays in the hope of Christ. I loved that each of these inspirational romances features children, reminding readers of the true meaning of Christmas and the miracle of the birth of our Savior.

The first story, "The Christmas Not-Wish" by Ms. Gray, finds orphaned siblings Jemima and Roy being placed into yet another foster home. Fans of Ms. Gray's "Walnut Creek" series will be excited to see Elizabeth Anne (E.A.) and Will Kurtz take on the role of foster parents! 4/5 stars

The second tale, "New Beginnings" by Ms. Good, features Elizabeth, a young widow working at a year-round Christmas shop whose grief and anger with God over her losses nearly keeps her locked in the past. Thankfully, her new-found friendship with Luke, her late husband's best friend, helps them both rediscover their faith in God and the miracles that come of trusting the Lord. I actually cried at the beautiful ending!! This was my favorite of the collection! 5+/5 stars

The third story, "Twins Times Two" by Ms. Lough also features crossover characters from her series "A Little Child Shall Lead Them." I loved that I recognized Emily, Willa, Max, and Frannie! This story was absolutely adorable as twin cousins not only discover the value of responsibility and hard work, but also develop generous and giving hearts, including uniting estranged neighbors Jubal and Abigail right in time for Christmas! 4+/5 stars

I'm grateful to #Kensington and #NetGalley for the opportunity to read this charming and biblical Christmas collection!

Three very well written Amish novellas. I enjoyed each selection and highly recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

This set of three novellas was so cozy and heartwarming. I enjoyed all three of them. I always love Shelley Shepard Gray's books, so I wasn't surprised that I liked her novella. The other two authors are new to me and I enjoyed the stories they wrote a great deal.

There was something special about this book! Three stories by three different authors!
I enjoyed reading this ARC. Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley. Our patrons will like this book as well.

5 star.

There was something special that I loved about each of the three stories.

The first story was about Jemima and Roy. Two little ones who had been in the foster care system and had seen some hard times there. This story really touched my heart.

The next story was about Luke and Elizabeth. I really enjoyed how their characters developed.

The last story was about Jube and Abigail but my favorite part was how Jube worked with the 2 sets of twins that were causing trouble.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

Amish Christmas Twins
By: Shelley Shepard Gray, Rachel J. Good, & Loree Lough
Three wonderful and heartwarming short stories about three Amish families by three different authors. These stories involves twins and the hurt , trials, challenges they go through. Each story touched my heart. At times there was tears in my eyes, other times joy.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, but was not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Three excellent authors are brought together with a singular theme--twins in Amish families. Three novellas each deal with the chaos that twins bring to families and the joys that twins also bring.

In one of the novellas, a young couple has taken in two siblings who have been orphaned in a tragic accident. Jemima and Roy are in their sixth foster home, and unwilling to stay where they feel they are not wanted. The Kurtz's are the best foster parents they've had, but they are expecting a baby themselves and Jemima believes she and Roy will be placed with another foster family, especially when the Kurtz's find out they are having twins.

In the second novella, Elizabeth Yoder is widowed, having lost her husband and baby in an accident. Her next door neighbor, Luke, has always loved Elizabeth, and he wants to show her how much he does love her. He happens to be in the right place at the right time to save her from a car skidding on the ice. Elizabeth manages to only have a broken leg from that incident, but Luke does all he can to help her out. When she finally cleans out the nursery, she donates the baby things to an unwed mothers' shelter. One of the mothers brings her twins to Elizabeth's door step, asking her and Luke to adopt them.

In the third, two sets of twins,who are also cousins, create havoc on a neighbor's dairy farm. As their punishment, they are required to help out at the dairy until the losses incurred by their reckless behavior is recouped. They also have to find a way to fulfill a need for someone before Christmas.

These novellas are quite enjoyable, but can tend to drag in places. The authors are great at writing Amish fiction, but they didn't quite hit the mark in these novellas. The novellas will fill a languid afternoon, and therefore garner four stars.

Kensington Books and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is a wonderful collection of three short stories. I enjoyed reading each one. The first is about foster parents who want to adopt two small children who lost their parents. The kids have been in previous foster placements that were not happy. They want to be adopted. But when the Kurtz’ find out they are expecting twins at Christmas, the children start to wonder if they will be sent to another foster home after the twins are born. The second one is about a widow who has just lost her child and her neighbor who is starting to fall in love with her. She is still broken up over losing the baby but she decides to start healing by donating her baby’s things to a home for teen moms. One of the teen moms is pregnant with twins . . . And the third one is about a couple of sets of twins boys that are cousins and are at that age when they are getting into mischief. A couple of neighbors team up with the two sets of parents to help the boys learn responsibility after an accident caused by their mischief.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading these stories and wish there were more. Highly recommended!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Amish Christmas Twins is a 3 in 1 book. I love books that give more then 1 story! I always feel like I'm getting a deal!
Shelley Shephard Gray, Rachel J, Good and Loree Lough all have different writing styles which makes the book that much more interesting.
The 1st book by Shelley Shephard, The Christmas Not-Wish, is a heart warming book about a couple (who thinks they can't have their own children) fostering 2 siblings near Christmas time. A surprise for the couple (which I won't ruin) ends up throwing a wrench in the works. The oldest girl overhears parts of a conversation between the couple and tries running away with her brother. Thankfully they are caught before they leave the house! This is a heartwarming story about wonderful people who take in children most people don't want because they aren't babies. I love these stories because it almost always ends up favorable for the children and that's what is most important! Plus it being a Christmas story a little bit of Christmas magic gets thrown in turning it into even more of a feel good story.
The next story New Beginnings by Rachel J. Good has to be my favorite of the 3. A woman who has lost her husband at a very young age, and we find out a baby as well, struggles working in a Christmas store at Christmas time. After an almost fatal accident, she gets to spend time with a young man who is her original true love. Sparks fly between the 2, they are able to become close and admit some things they've kept bottled up for a very long time. A other feel good story with a very surprising ending that makes you feel the miracles of Christmas that happen all around us!
The last book, more of a novella, is Twins Times Two by Lorre Lough. The Double Trouble twins start off the book by getting into quite a bit of trouble, as well as causing trouble for 2 adults that have sort of a love/hate/love relationship. The punishment for the Double Trouble Twins is to help Jube, the man who got hurt in the beginning, and by helping someone in need by Christmas Eve. The 4 Double Trouble boys end up doing a lot more then was expected of them, they bring people together and end up turning into fine young Amish men in the process. A very good book, cute, and heart warming. The miracles of Christmas that bring us together are evident in all 3 books, as well as the true reason for the season!

This is such a perfect trio to welcome in the holiday season! These three tales are loaded with second chance romances and deeply rooted issues that are laid to rest. If you love the allure of the Amish and adore sweet and clean romances, then you're sure to love this collection! It shows the fault of pride and that some love never dies. I loved that the focal point was the reason for the season. Love comes in all seasons and there is always hope after a loss. This reinforces the value of faith and God's love.

this is a good story about 2nd chances and children who need them. can children find there forever home or will they have to move ? if you like a book about what the children and parents go through you will want to read the book, i was given a copy of the book by netgalley but this is an honest review.

This is a series of short stories which all deal with Christmas, loss, Amish parents and sets of twins. All of the stories are relatable and share values of loss, love and overcoming adversity. The first story was my favorite and that could possibly be because Shelley Shepard Gray is one of my favorite authors. I have read several of her books previously and they are all wonderful books. The authors of the other two stories were both new to me and while the stories were good, they didn't resonate as much.

Thank you to the publisher, Kensington Books & Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Each story in this book touches the heart. From tragic loss to new beginnings, the characters are interesting and relatable. Tears and joy fill the pages. I received a complimentary copy of the book. No review was required.

Three Amish novellas set around Christmas and twins. Enjoyed reading them all, but liked the first one the best. Easy reading and enjoyable stories. Would recommend this book and the authors.

This book is three short stories about Amish families, their losses, and new love. The stories are heart warming and the people are realistic. I like to read almost anything Amish, and these stories were easy to read. The book is short, and could be read in an afternoon.
