This is such a sweet book with two romances; one of an "older" couple near 40 years old and one a teenage romance. I enjoyed both story lines and how they intertwined with each other. I loved Atle's gentleness and how it was exactly what Sadie and her three children needed after their past with her abusive late husband. I also loved Cale and Hope's young romance...I met my husband when we both 17 so I can definitely relate to their young love. Getting to see more of Sarah Anne and her bookmobile is always a treat as well!

Shelley Shepard Gray is one of those authors who I will always read!

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

The third book in the Berlin Bookmobile Series. This book was just as fun and interesting to read as the others. Atle Petersheim works hard in his wood shop. He always loved Sadie Mast from afar. Her husband died and now she is a widow. Atle knew that Sadie's husband was a harsh man to live with. When Sadie asks Atle's help to built a bedroom in her barn for her son Cale. Atle goes to the bookmobile for help on courting. This is a lovely book with humor. Thanks NetGalley and Gallery books for allowing me to read it. This is my honest opinion.

Sadie and Atle are both in their mid-years, dealing with jobs, families, and other responsibilities. It would seem that the time for romance is past, but then a romance book comes to town and begins shaking things up. There are two romance stories interwoven in this novel, one of older love and one of new, young love, and they work nicely together. The Christmas setting is less of a character and more of a backdrop. Not my favorite SSG book, but a nice Christmas read just the same!
