BOOK REVIEW- THE CHRISTMAS BABY BUNDLE


Having a baby doesn’t always come easy, at least not for Amanda and Connor Kirkpatrick. For five years they’ve worked at starting their family. Timed lovemaking and failed fertility treatments drain the romance from their marriage. Then Connor’s sister McKenna, a Chicago midwife, links them up with Angie from her natural childbirth class. Young and unmarried, Angie is looking for a home for her baby, due shortly after Christmas. At the same time, the couple begins working with Dr. Logan Castle on a new in vitro technique. 
But Amanda is afraid to hope her dream might finally come true, irritating the heck out of Connor. They’re at odds when heavy snow almost cancels the baby shower organized by the Kirkpatrick clan. Amanda’s parents haven’t even responded to the invitation. Have they given up hope as well? As Amanda and Connor teeter on the brink of Christmas hope, life bestows a surprise that could bring everything back into focus. The Christmas Baby Bundle is a heartwarming holiday novella.   AMAZON  I'm giving it 4 stars on Amazon.  

This was a charming story.  How can I say that when you think about all the trouble and pain that Amanda and Connor are going through?   It must be the closeness of both families especially the Kirkpatrick one.   I have read several books by this author about the Kirkpatrick clan and remember being introduced to Angie before.   Angie is the mother of the baby that Connor and Amanda are adopting.  The stresses of  years of desiring a baby and continually being disappointed was well illustrated I thought.   It was wearing both of them down and stressing their marriage as well. 


The author's dedication page was a sweet one. And I felt like she did a good job when it came to the fears and insecurities and disappointments that couples faced in this book.  She wrote it in a tender way.

There is a peek into another book called,"Finding Southern Comfort", at the back of this book.  Finding Southern Comfort is Harper Kirkpatrick's story.
