satisfying stories all packed into the perfect length for readers to

London. Can love conquer the darkness of two broken pasts?
"Wonders of His Love" by Erica Vetsch

Scots portrait painter with a hidden identity finds work at a noble
manor house over the holidays. He never imagined he'd fall in love with
the emotionally frozen widow there. Now he wants nothing more than to
thaw her heart.
My review:
This was such a wonderful collection of Regency stories! There was a good mix of lost love, redemption, forgiveness, new love and faith. Some of the characters were strong Christians, one finds faith, there were many prayers said and a church service or two attended. It was interesting to see people from different classes interacting and sometimes falling in love. It was fun to see characters from previous books show up yet these stories read very well as stand-alones. There was some wonderful romance and it was so satisfying to see these characters who had been through so much find love. The writing was very well done. The stories had depth and didn't feel rushed as so many novellas do. This is one of the best novella collections I've ever read! I highly recommend it!
I received this book from Kregel Publications. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
