Receive A Mothers Gift: Dreaming Of A Family\\The Mommy Wish Illustrated By Arlene James Disseminated As Electronic Format

stories in one volume

First story: Alright, but I just could not get past how not just rude but flatout cruel Dixie was to Joel.
Some of the things she said were not acceptable, not even as "I was scared and didn't know what to say so I lashed out" Like, no.
You're still an adult. You don't say cruel things about someone's handicap, Come on.

Second story: I liked this one a lot better, and it was a really nice, happy little story, However, I felt like I had to suffer through a lot of hints about Julia's "deep dark secret" and in the

end it felt incredibly anticlimactic.
Like, tragic, yes, but at the same time not enough for the amount of angst she's put herself through since then, Also super vague as to why the whole incident would have made her financee break up with her So I was confused about that, Liked The Mommy Wish by Kathryn Springer, Couldn't finish Dreaming of a Family by Arlene James, it was that bad, It's been awhile since I picked up a steeple hill book and so glad I decided to go back and read some of them, Yes, they're predictable but sometimes you just need a short predictable, romance book, I enjoyed both of the stories in this book but I think I enjoyed the first one more than the second story, The first story was rather lame and corny but the second one was good! Dreaming of a Family by Arlene James
Widowed mother Dixie Stephenson never stopped blaming herself for her late husband's accidental death.
And she didn't expect any of her dreams to come true, especially since she had been dreaming of another man, But is Joel Slade, a wounded soldier, truly the answer to her prayers Can he be the father her little boy needs, and the man who helps Dixie finally heal

The Mommy Wish by Kathryn Springer
Julia Windham's country house was her sanctuarya quiet place where she could be left alone to grieve her shattered dreams.
That all changed when handsome widower Nick Delaney and his precocious daughter, Beth, moved next door, Now there's noise, laughter and maybe even hope for a future as a family, The book has two stories in it, The second one was more emotional than the first but they were both really good, The first story I struggled through, the second story was sweet and entertaining, "A Mother's Gift" was absolutely extraordinary and is one of my favorite books of all time! Arlene James and Kathryn Springer are incredibly talented ladies who create amazing and addictive loveinspired romance novels.
"Dreaming of a Family" and "The Mommy Wish" were quite simply exceptional, and a fantastic Mother's Day read, The characters from both of these short romance stories were just phenomenal and drew me right in, effortlessly, Don't miss out! A Mothers Gift
By Arlene James and Kathryn Springer

Both stories were enjoyable to read, The Mommy Wish had enough information about horses to make the reader believe that Julia was an award winning rider who was competent around the stable.
The authors reveal the characters motivation slowly throughout the story, creating a sense of suspense in wondering why or how they could act that way, The endings were believable, and the characters were likeable,
