I had never read this author before and was curious about the book. I found the stories in this book sweet and refreshing. They each have a story to tell about finding Christian love and romance when God leads you there. They are all quite simple and a little old fashioned in some ways, but each character has their own obstacles to overcome from their past hurts and family issues and learn to trust in the Lord to lead them in the right path. Since they are Christian themed you wouldn't mind your young teenager reading these books. They all have stories of the romance and love that every little girl hopes to find one day.
I was provided an Advanced reader copy of the book and was under no obligation to provide a review of the book.The opinions expressed are my own. Thanks to the author, Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I am a huge fan of the Brunstetter family of authors, whether cookbooks or romances, their books are written with heart. This book happens to be a reprint of 3 short romances. They are good, clean, warm romances that you will be glad you read.

Talking for two.
I definitely learnt a new word here: ventriloquism! Ha! Just saying it makes me feel smart!
This story was one of joy, love, a few tears and lots of glee. I felt sorry for Tabby and the way she had been treated causing her to have a terrible low self-esteem. But i was grateful for the wonderful friend Doona God placed in her life and for her faith in God. It was refreshing to read how great change happened in her life and in Seth's by just relating with each other. I loved how God turned the tide for both of them.


Clowning Around
Tear-jerking story for sure!
Lois was the younger sister of Tabby, her life changed drastically after her sister got married. I admired the zest she has for her new faith, how she desperately wanted to serve God with her talents. My heart broke for Joe and all he went through growing up. It was amazing to read how he made lemonade out of the lemons life threw at him.
This amazing story illustrates God's healing and redemptive power.


The Neighbourly Thing.
This was my favorite story in this book. Maybe because it deals with broken people in need of a Savior.
Sinda's srory was heartbreaking, the pain, abuse was just hurtful on all levels but i admired her gusto to make a life for herself despite it all. I loved the happiness Glen brought into her life together with his spunky daughter Tara! I loved how she made her way back to God and how Glen never gave up on her.

This book and the stories in it will always be close to me heart.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

As a long time reader of Wanda Brunstetter's books I found this book fun and inspirational to read.
It is a collection of three novella length contemporary stories of hers that are older.
Sweet romance stories will draw you in and make you want to read other books by this author.

A Heartwarming Romance Collection by Wanda Brunstetter contains three of her first novels in one book! They are not the Amish fiction I have come to love by her, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. Each story was a lot of fun, but more importantly, they each contained a message of hope in God. The first story was Talking for Two. It was about Tabby, a young lady who has a fear of others that causes her to stutter terribly and she feels very self conscious. When she meets Seth, a ventriloquist who uses his talents for Jesus, she wishes she could speak without stuttering and longs for the chance to get to know him. She discovers, to her amazement, that she can speak through a dummy without stuttering. And, even more wondrous, Seth likes her too! However, can she trust herself to be in a relationship? In the second story, Clowning Around, Tabby's younger sister Lois is a new Christian who wants to find a way to serve God. When she meets a Joe, a gospel clown, she really likes him. However, he seems to be joking around all the time and she is more reserved. Can the two of them make a match? And, together, can they find a way to serve? In the last story, Glen Olsen is a single dad to Tara, a ten year old spy in the making. Tara is convinced that something is wrong with Sinda, their new neighbor, while Glen just wants to get to know her better. Sinda does have some secrets in her past though, stemming from an abusive father. Can she let down her guard enough to trust Glen, and her heavenly Father as well?
I really enjoyed these. They were all great reads and it was great to see a different side to Wanda's writing style! I would definitely recommend them. The title is very apt...Heartwarming they are!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book. All opinions are my own.

I know that Wanda E Brunstetter writes Fantastic, Amish Romances. But I wasn't aware she could write Outstanding, Contemporary, Christian Romances too! The first 2 of the 3 Stories, in this Collection, share characters. All three Novels are Wonderful, Engrossing, and Inspirational. I Highly Recommend You 📖 this Collection! ❤️📖
