About this ebook

Tales of snowy nights, silver bells, and sweet romance: “A wonderful anthology” (RT Book Reviews, four stars)

This volume includes three stories of love, family, and faith—the greatest gifts of the season:

A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain by Kelly Long
For solitary toy-maker Sebastian Christner, hiring Kate Zook as his new housekeeper is simply the right thing to do. Now she can support her special-needs brother. But one taste of her independent spirit is showing him undreamed-of holiday joy—and making him long to give her a home for always . . .

A Mamm for Christmas by Amy Lillard
Bernice Yoder has far too much to do to entertain holiday dreams. Even if she can help Jess Schmucker outwit his three mischievous young daughters, it's impossible to imagine the handsome widower can see her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher. He never guesses how a magical Christmas Eve will open his eyes to love or how Der Herr will awaken their faith and hope.

An Unexpected Christmas Blessing by Molly Jebber
As much as Charity Lantz's children need a father, the young widow isn’t sure her new neighbor Luke Fisher can ever be the right choice. They’re having more disagreements than snowflakes in December. Besides, he's never given a sign he wants to be more than friends. Can Gott show them a way past their misunderstandings to a forever love?

The Amish Christmas Sleigh contains three romantic Christmas stories. The first story is A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain by Kelly Long. Kate Zook is raising her disabled brother, Ben. Money is tight for them. Sebastian C. Christner is a toymaker who needs a housekeeper. He also has a secret. Sebastian offers Kate the job as his housekeeper. Will Kate get past Sebastian’s gruff exterior? A Mamm for Christmas by Amy Lillard is the second book. Jess Schmucker’s wife has been deceased for one year. He has three small daughters to raise. The teacher, Bernice Yoder tries to assist (especially since the girls are coming to school filthy). Jess, though, is a little too stubborn to accept help. Then he realizes that it is time to marry and get a mother for his children. Will he make the right choice? Molly Jebber’s An Unexpected Christmas Blessing is the third and final story in the book. It takes place in Berlin, Ohio in 1910. Luke Fisher just moved to Berlin to get a fresh start. He wanted to get away where everyone knew his secret (and his shame). Charity Lantz’ husband has been gone for a year. She is left with raising two children: Beth and Josiah. They are thrilled when Luke moves in next door. Can romance bloom between Charity and Luke? What is Luke’s secret? The three stories are delightful and easy to read. This book can be enjoyed without having read the other books in the series (but it helps put things in context). I liked the characters in each book, great settings (especially Berlin, Ohio), and fun antics from the children. I liked that the stories are set at Christmas (just makes the stories more magical). I give The Amish Christmas Sleigh 4 out of 5 stars. I especially liked how the sleigh theme was incorporated into each story (especially in A Sleigh Ride on Ice Mountain). If you like Amish fiction, you will enjoy reading The Amish Christmas Sleigh. I received a complimentary copy of The Amish Christmas Sleigh from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
