Picking
a Bride for Paul
When Teddy
Love’s neighbor and best friend breaks his leg, she pitches in to do whatever
she can to help him on his farm. But when he enlists her aid in finding a wife,
she comes to realize she has feelings for him.
Paul Baker
follows his heart mother’s wishes by looking for a bride from the East who is
refined and gentile, two qualities Teddy isn’t. When his potential bride
arrives, he finds himself comparing her to Teddy. How can he go back and change
things before he makes the biggest mistake of his life?
Typhoon
Prompting
A
destroyer escort is among the smallest of warships, but the USS Tabberer
has the heart of a giant. A typhoon threatens the US Fleet in the Pacific
during World War II, days before Christmas. The men of the Tabberer
stand tall as they rush to the aid of their fellow sailors. For Seaman Jerry
Collier, the typhoon prompts a greater awareness of what he wants in life.
First, though, they have to survive.
A
Dr. in the House
Emma O’Sullivan is one of the first female doctors to enlist after President Franklin Roosevelt signs the order allowing women in the Army and Navy medical corps. Within weeks, Emma is assigned to England to set up a convalescent hospital, and she leaves behind everything that is familiar. When the handsome widower of the requisitioned property claims she’s incompetent and tries to get her transferred, she must prove to her superiors she’s more than capable. But she’s soon drawn to the good-looking, grieving owner. Will she have to choose between her job and her heart?

Archibald
“Archie” Heron is the last survivor of the Heron dynasty, his two older
brothers having been lost at Dunkirk and Trondheim and his parents in the
Blitz. After his wife is killed in a bombing raid while visiting Brighton, he
begins to feel like a modern-day Job. To add insult to injury, the British
government requisitions his country estate, Heron Hall, for the U.S. Army to
use as a hospital. The last straw is when the hospital administrator turns out
to be a fiery, ginger-haired American woman. She’s got to go. Or does she?

My Take:
Each of these stories were quick and easy reads. The first story I really didn't care for. I enjoyed the other two. Both very Christmasy, and with historical flare. If I chose a favorite it would be Typhoon Prompting. I love anything about the Navy, and this was a fun story.
My bottom line:
All three books have sweet romances with Christmas spirit. Each book is unique, and very quick easy read. With the busyness of the holiday season it's nice to have a getaway that doesn't take much thought and leaves you with a feeling of joy. A nice Christmas read.
