Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball
by: Donita K. Paul
From the Publisher:
In a sleepy, snow-covered city, Cora Crowder is busy preparing for the holiday season. Searching for a perfect gift, a fortuitous trip to Warner, Werner, and Wizbotterdad’s (a most unusual bookshop) leads to an unexpected encounter with co-worker Simon Derrick. And the surprise discovery of a ticket for a truly one-of-a-kind Christmas Ball.
Every year, the matchmaking booksellers of the Sage Street bookshop host an enchanting, old-fashioned Christmas Ball for the romantic matches they’ve decided to bring together.
This year, will Simon and Cora discover a perfect chemistry in their opposite personalities and shared faith? Or will the matchmakers’ best laid plans end up ruining everything this holiday?
My Review:
This is a very fictional short story. It is not something I would read aloud to my family. It had a hint of “magic” that just didn’t jive with me. I couldn’t figure out if the characters were “angels” or of a “mystic” nature. It left me hanging.
Although, it did show God’s mercy and His plan throughout the book. I just wished that it had either been ALL fiction (thus the mystic nature) or a book that told the story of God’s love and not intertwined the two.
I did appreciate the brother/sister dynamic in the book! Brothers that have a protective spirit for their sisters – should win a special reward!
As much as I love Christmas books and love stories combined, this has not been one of my faves!
Blessings to you! You are loved!!!
