In Joy to the World, three popular romance authors come together to offer a heartwarming collection of holiday regency romance.

Based on lines from a beloved Christmas carol, these three novellas have depth, faith, and satisfying stories all packed into the perfect length for listeners to curl up and take a brief break from their holiday busyness.

Heaven and Nature Sing by Carolyn Miller: Two music lovers, deeply devoted to each other, were on the brink of engagement when family circumstances drove them apart. How can they ever overcome both their obligations and their fears to find their way back into each other's arms?

Far as the Curse Is Found by Amanda Barratt: One winter night, a woman struggling to provide for her illegitimate child encounters a scarred veteran of the Napoleonic Wars on the streets of London. Can love conquer the darkness of two broken pasts?

Wonders of His Love by Erica Vetsch: A Scots portrait painter finds work at a noble manor house over the holidays. He never imagined he'd fall in love with the emotionally frozen widow there. Now he wants nothing more than to thaw her heart.

Fine, not very memorable

I’ve read a few similar short story collections and found them to be more interesting. My favorite was definitely the first story, perhaps the other two just brought it down for me. If you’re looking for light, somewhat holiday-ish, then this fits the bill. I just didn’t love them.

Christmas romance

Great writers and true spirit of the season. God’s love is shown in each writer. Great love stories.
