Stitched with Love Romance Collection

I really enjoyed reading this book If you like sweet historical romances, this is the book for you. Each story is very well written and carries the message of God's love and mercy. I can't say enough good things about this book. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. I LOVED it!! This is my honest opinion.

Armed with an abundance of blue ribbon authors, Barbour Publishing put out a book that also coincides with my other major hobby--sewing. All nine novellas have been previously published in smaller anthologies. All nine novellas are just amazing. Some weave quilting into the plot, and some weave clothing sewing, and both are interesting for me.

All of the stories take place in the 1800s except for one which is a post-WWII story. All of these stories involve finding the true loves of the ladies' lives.

Like I said, all have been published before, and I have included the other titles they were published in. All of them are worth Five Stars, which makes Stitched with Love a Five Star, two thumbs up, and a quilt made with wisdom and prayer.

My thanks to Barbour Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.

A wonderful collection of stories centered around the art of sewing, this is a perfect companion to the fireplace and a comfy chair. Filled with sweet, Godly stories of women and men seeking the person who will make them whole, these historical romances are short and perfect for a single setting read.

An other wonderful collection of short stories that warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. This collection would be a wonderful book to curl up with this winter while the snow falls. Or to give as a gift:-) I enjoyed reading about maidens in distress, & ranchers who've no idea they are about to be tumbled head over boots for a little ol' thing in petticoats:-) If you enjoy preachers, ranchers, bronc busters, or school superintendents this book has them all. While the ladies range from widows to young girls. All in all something for all ages in the love department.

This is one of my favorite things to read. I love a good collection of novels or short stories by an assortment of writers. For me this is one of the best ways to learn about a new author. I was familiar with over half of these ladies and enjoy them very much. Next to reading, quilting and sewing is my next favorite past time. For that reason this collection was extra exciting to me. I had previously read a couple of these stories, but I enjoyed them just as much the second time around. I thought this was the perfect Historical Christian romance collection. It has something for everyone.

Stitched with Love Collection by various authors is a wonderful set of stories set in the 1800’s and each focusing on a unique bride. S0ome are continuations of the previous story as friends find love. There are nine stories in this collection and each is unique in that each bride and groom are very different and have sometimes one has been sure they are not suited to each other.
Ii loved this book. It is nice to have short stories as I can read a whole story and then take a break. It was hard though as I wanted to keep reading until I finished the book. The bride in each story, along with the other characters, are so realistic they jump off the pages. I wholeheartedly give this book 5 of 5 stars. It is so well written it draws you in to the stories and you feel like you are there and know the people in the story. I could feel the brides’ angst and wanted to hug some of them as they fretted over their grooms. I think this collection will appeal to a wide audience.

9 historical courtships of lives pieced together with seamless love. In these 9 novella length stories 9 women have found their own niche in life and they aren't going to change, not even for a man. They may be a bit quirky but that's just who they are and they are just ahead of their time thinking wise. Now these delightful women may think they are undeserving of a man because of their circumstances but it's simply not true. Finding the right fit in love and life is never easy. These young women have found the courage to be themselves. Enjoy the stories of strong,courageous women who weave together their faith and love into their lives seamlessly. Loved it!

These 9 historical romances tell stories of struggle, trials and doubts. Tracie V. Bateman, Cathy Marie Hake, Andrea Boeshaar, Sally Laity, Vickie McDonough, Janet Spaeth and Pamela Kaye Tracy weave stories that catch your interest and claim your heart! I was sorry when I finished the last one and wished there were more! Inspirational and warm, they cheered my days as I read them.

I have read quite a few of these collections and this one was also very good and connected with sewing and quilting. There are nine sweet stories and historical romance. I love the values in this Christian themed book and will continue to look for these collections.

There are nine novellas composing this book. They all have some kind of sewing or quilting in the storyline. Each book is stitched together by wonderful authors who are masters at creating a wonderful story that is both sweet and clean. These are stories make you feel good at their conclusion and ready to move on to the next story in the collection. Each story takes place earlier in history, most in the 1800s when most communities had people who typically lived at a slower pace and were kind and helpful to one another.

If you are looking for a wonderful compilation of stories by amazing authors, you will enjoy this Stitched with Love collection.

I was given an arc of this book to read and I offer my honest review willingly.

An entertaining collection of stories from an all-star lineup of authors who know how to write a great story! I always look forward to reading these kinds of collections from Barbour, and this collection does not disappoint. Although it’s hard to pick a favorite, Cathy Marie Hake’s story was my favorite. I loved Betsy and her family and was glad she found her happily-ever-after. Take time to read this collection and find your favorite story, too.

Christian historical romances. With these authors you simply cannot go wrong! Pick up this book and settle in with some people whom you're really going to like. It's made up of several stories and I'm glad that a few are woven together, then a couple more woven in their own town and time, then wrapping back somewhat. Lessons of faith and bible throughout. Really good stories to get lost in.

You get what you ask for in this book. It was an anthology of Christian Historical Romance. Some stories were better than the others, but what I appreciated most about them are the lessons of faith. I wish they were longer, though.
