Hark! the Gerrard angels sing....

It’s Christmas Eve, and the Gerrard brothers mean to make the most of it. They’ve taken their wives, their children, and their three delightful sisters, and removed to the most wintery estate they have to set the scene. Determined to give their families the most perfect Christmas they’ve ever known, they go to unmatched extremes in their efforts, planning out every detail.

But there are surprises in store for all of them this Christmas season, some of which Colin and Kit just can’t believe. It’s a house filled with Gerrards of all ages, brimming with holly and ivy, all the festiveness of the holiday season, and much more. What could possibly go wrong?

Wonderful wrapping up of this series! I love it! :)

Such a wonderful story about ‘family’, holidays and what is truly important! NOT the traditional romantic relationships of the series, but it is definitely a ‘love’ story - just a deeper ‘family-kind’ of love. I love that these books delve into life after the amazing moment of falling in love, merging traditions, and what it takes to keep that love alive - effort, forgiveness, kindness, playfulness, generosity…all the things that make ‘love’ what it truly is. Definitely a great book to read before Christmas. :)

A fun and enjoyable listen

I was curious what a story in this series might look like without romance being the central theme, and it delivered a fun, enjoyable story full of characters we leave come to love. It was all the things you love best about Colin and Kit.

I will say sometimes it dragged a bit, but overall it was a fun listen.

Better than I thought.

I really liked the overall stories. There were lovable characters, and characters you had to grow to love. The romance was sweet and wholesome. Thank you, Ms. Connolly. My final question is will Lilly and Thomas get a story? I want to know what happened between them.

I loved this story.

I am often very sad when a romance story ends at the wedding. Life is just starting at a wedding. It is by no means the end of anything. While but a romantic romance story, this was perfect. The blending of so many details. And having survived rearing teenagers and many family gatherings. She is spot on with the erratic emotional 14 year old young women. Not as heartbreaking a story as the past books, but a refreshing story and I absolutely loved hearing stories that happen after the wedding. Especially the unique family dynamic of the Gerrard family.

How not to celebrate Christmas

I found it interesting that the children knew what the true meaning of Christmas is , The day heaven came to earth through the birth of Jesus. The adults were so very negative toward religious celebration.

The spirit of Christmas isn’t perfection.

Sweet, clean, interesting, and feel good stories that were not formulaic. Each of these stories in this series were unique.

Love this series

The entire series is fabulous. There’s not one character misrepresented and will make you and laugh. However this one had me laughing so hard I literally lost my breath. Definitely worth the credit and am looking to more books in this series.

A good short story

It is a good short story for those that know the characters of this series. Makes a wonderful way of letting us know how they’re doing.
Not a book on its own.

Read them all!

This whole series was an absolutely wonderful read!
Wholesome and Witty, I caught myself laughing out loud. I would name a favorite but when I start to do that I am reminded of another. I will be purchasing the paperbacks of this whole series for my library.

Loved It

This book was an extra treat to round out the Arrangements Series and what better family that to choose which was the Gerrard as Colin was the most hilarious and honest of the friends. His wit was ever present throughout the Christmas story.

I still believe that David should have had a separate book within the Arrangement Series. Book 7 should have been his story to round out the family/friends love stories then the other two stories to have a nine book series.
