I almost gave up on this book mid-way through the second story. The editing is terrible and painful to wade through in the second story.
After reading other reviews I decided to push through and I'm glad I did - the third and fourth stories are worth hanging in there for.

Bought this for Joanna Shupe’s story. I enjoyed it, although it was a HFN instead of a HEA. All the other stories were DNF for me.

This rating is only for the first story, Into the Evermore.
Beau Gentry rescues Eleanor McManus from an abductor following the tragic loss of her family. He was on his way to Winchester, Virginia to claim his recently deceased uncle's property and her family was on their way further to Charleston.
This was a really sweet story of a relationship borne out of Eleanor's dire circumstances. While it may appear to be an instant romance, it is appropriate for the era and societal norms of the time (1842). They are two people who found each other despite what threw them together. It's a perfect story for the holidays and a nice setup for the upcoming series, the Gentry Family. And, it's no secret that Holly Bush is one of my auto-read authors.

As is usually the case with collections, I liked some stories more than others. I'm giving this one four stars primarily because of [a:Donna Thorland|6154476|Donna Thorland|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1368516104p2/6154476.jpg], author of the Renegades of the Revolution series. Her bittersweet (to those of us who've read the books) Christmas story fills in a gap in the history of one of the recurring characters, incidents that were referred to but never clarified.
The other tales were enjoyable, and in keeping with the season, but Thorland's offering really hit the mark. Her research and writing are outstanding.
