5 out of 5 stars Excellent Legacy to Someday Leave.......2006-03-19

Although our 2 children are still very small, we already love to flip through the pages of this book and look at the first year when our oldest was a baby. This book records 5 years of Christmas memories and is a treasure in our home. Each year in full of areas for pictures, attaching keepsakes, and recording memories that would otherwise get forgotten with the passage of time. There is also a pocket in the far back to keep other treasures in as well, such as letters to Santa, etc. We have completed the first 4 years and I intend on buying another copy after we complete the 5th year in December 2006. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to preserve memories!

5 out of 5 stars After Thanksgiving dishes are done, this book is the first thing I reach for........2006-11-15

As with Susan Branch's other seasonal books, I use this Christmas treasure to kick off the season! Serioualy, I've dog-earred some of the recipes that have become family traditions since I first got this book. I've learned how special it is to replace all sheets with fun holiday flannel sheets. I do much more than simply put up a tree these days. In short, I must attribute my refreshed zest for holiday living to re-reading this book every year before do anything else. (It's also a nice gift!)

5 out of 5 stars The perfect holiday book.......2003-01-10

I bought this book when I first discovered Susan Branch books. I loved it so much I gave it to all my sisters and sisters-in-law. They have all used it as a reference during the holidays and even through out the year.I have given this book to so many others as well and they all love the book. I can only state that this book stands up with all the Susan Branch products and is wonderful and so useful.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Gift!.......2003-01-02

This book is so charming! I received it as a gift from a dear friend many years ago and I re-read it every Christmas! Recipes, ideas, and holiday thoughts pulled together with Susan Branch's truly unique artistry make this a favorite.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful holiday treasure!.......2001-12-11

No matter what else is going on, this book is a wonderful holiday "pick-me-up". You will feel instantly more "Christmasy" after looking through it. I keep it on my coffee table throughout the holiday season.

As with all Susan Branch books, her watercolor illustrations are absolutely beautiful. They rnage from adorable little elfs to sumptuous holiday table settings.

The recipes are clearly written, her cookie recipes are particularly good and she offers great tips on presenting cookies as a holiday gift.

This is a great book to browse through around the holidays!

Book Description

Bestselling authors Jude Deveraux and Judith McNaught shine with love's magic in this wonderful collection. Here are their most dazzling Christmas tales -- the perfect treat for every romantic at heart....

SIMPLE GIFTS

In the snow-covered hills of Virginia, a young widow finds that miracles really do come in the least expected packages, in "Just Curious." "Change of Heart," set in modern-day Colorado, is the touching story of a clever twelve-year-old who plays matchmaker for his bighearted, impractical mother.

Regency London comes to life in "Miracles," the enchanting tale of a world-weary lord -- and an outrageous proposal. In "Double Exposure," a determined young woman photographs a magnificent wedding at a reclusive tycoon's Newport estate, and manages to unlock the secrets of a man's heart.

5 out of 5 stars Four Heartwarming Christmas Stories : Just Curious / Miracles / Change of Heart / Double Exposure.......2007-01-10

Great book - couldn't put it down.

5 out of 5 stars Nicki's heart.......2006-09-28

I only bought this book because of Judith's McNaught short on Nicholas Duville's love story, All I ever did through the piece was sigh and cuddle the book to my heart, and continued reading page after page, I cried I smiled, I felt my heart bloom with every kiss or embrace the characters had...and this is only a FICTIONAL story!! GOD! I miss Mcnaught!!! I miss her so much! So much that I want to wringe her neck for discarding the gift she had in making BEAUTIFUL historicals! she was a legend! and still is! does anybody know's what happened to her?! Honestly!
I adored her story with Nicki, Julliana was the classic Mcnaught Herione...perfection! But what I liked most about her was that she wasted no time in making things interesting, I related with Nicki so much through out the story he was always the "Friend" to the women he was interested in, interesting women on the whole seemed to back away from him and run into the arms of other men...and that was TWO books straight! good thing it didn't end there and had him star here as a hero for once! I loved him since Whitney, my love...I adore him now! the bit with Julianna excusing herself from Nicki saying "Goodafternoon,Mr....er....Deveraux." I laughed so much it was so clever to put Jude Deveraux's name in there...hehehe...

I recommend anything by Judith Mcnaught although for me I have no interest in her contemporary novels...its her historicals you should be looking out for and their the following:
-Almost Heaven
-Something Wonderful
-Once and Always
-A Kingdom Of Dreams
-Whitney, My Love
-Until you
-And lastly this book Simple Gifts (Nicki's story -Miracles-)

I'm sure your going to enjoy all of them! :)

4 out of 5 stars A moment of evasion.......2005-10-09

I have bought this book to read two little novels written by J.McNaught which are not translated into french (I am French).
Despite of my very poor english, it was a very good moment of evasion and the great sense of humour of J.McNaught was still there. The stories were good but definitively too short...

4 out of 5 stars Quick reads by the divas of romance!.......2005-08-12

Four quick reads that are perfect for your wait at the doctor's office or waiting at your child's sports practice.

"Just Curious" is a touching tale about a woman who is a widow and stuggling to move on with her life alone. Her boss makes her a business proposition that she can not refuse, not realizing that it will lead to true love.

Some reviewers were disappointed with "Miracles", the story of Nicki and Juliana. Nicki was such an intriguing secondary character in Whitney My Love and Until You (two of Judith McNaught's best sellers), that I can see why fans wanted him to have a longer story.

Those of you who follow the Montgomery/Taggart series written by Jude Deveraux will be interested in "Change of Heart", a story about Frank Taggart. This is a story of mature love between a struggling single mom and a wealthy businessman. Unbelievably, a young boy orchestrates the meeting of these two unlikely characters and it really is a heart-warming story.

"Double Exposure" is a prequel to Remember When written by Judith McNaught. It is Corey and Spence's story. I liked it because I was familiar with the characters. It is an interesting, if not bizarre, wedding.

These short stories may be a good way to become acquainted with these fabulous authors if you have not read any of their longer romance novels. Avid McNaught/Deveraux fans will feel right at home with them!

I purchased the autumn book and really enjoyed it, so I ordered Christmas Joy. I was tad disappointed to see this was such a small and slender volume. It has the same cute recipes and suggestions but fewer of them. It is also fairly short- only 46 pages. I read it in about 15 minutes.

Overalll, a cute book, but I was expecting more.

This book has it all and is delightful. I bought this as a gift for my sister-in- law and am I ever glad I also got one for myself. Itis beautifully illustrated and is filled with recipes, decorating ideas and special thoughts. Its one of those books that you get out each year at Christmas time and you read it again and again.

A HOLIDAY OF LOVE is a delightful collection of short stories and is very enjoyable!

2 out of 5 stars Loved Nick????.......2007-07-08

What happened to this character? I didn't even know him. I loved him in all the other books(Whitney My Love and Until You). She should of gave him is own book to make us understand why he fell in love with Julianna in the first place or did he ever. I really can't remember it was so short and forgettable. These characters deserved much more than this. This is the only time I haven't like a Judith McNaught book (I guess its not a book but a short story) I loved all her work up until now. Couldn't wait to read Nicks story only to be disappointed. Don't waste your money.

1 out of 5 stars Completely Disappointed.......2007-03-22

First, let me admit that I bought this book solely to read Judith McNaught's story. I only recently stumbled onto her and after reading Whitney My Love and the two associated books, when I read that this story was about Nick Du Ville, I quickly ordered the book.

What a total disappointment. Even without knowing that the characters of Nick and Julia Skeffington are characters in the other books, this story doesn't hold water. It reads like an outline. And it could have been a great book in and of itself. Why go to the trouble of creating such a wonderful character as Nick, having him very visible and playing rather large roles in previous books, then dismiss him like this. Better not to have written any further about him at all.

In fairness to the other authors whose stories form this compilation, the fact that I was so disgusted with Miracles made me completely uninterested in reading them. Shame on you, Ms. McNaught. If I could give you zero stars, I would.

5 out of 5 stars On my KEEPER shelf.......2007-02-10

This book is also on my keeper shelf as it is a continuation of the Whitney My Love and Until You series from Judith McNaught. They had me crying and reading 'til all hours of the night. This and a Gift of Love finished up the series.

3 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, albeit short holiday novellas..........2005-12-10

This is a wonderful and heartwarming holiday anthology from some rather big romance authors, namely Judith McNaught and Jude Deveraux. I had never read anything by Deveraux before this book, but it won't be the last after reading the wonderful novella Change of Heart, the only contemporary effort in this collection. The story of a twelve-year-old prodigy and his quest to match-make his mother with a cynical millionaire is endearing and compelling and had the holiday spirit in full swing when using a young boy to bring two people together. Then I read the reason I bought this book: Judith McNaught's Miracles, Nicholas Duville's story. The novella was wonderful and it was full of the things that I've come to know and love about the McNaught stories. It has the romantic encounters between Julianna (from Until You) and Nicholas, the misunderstanding and the ultimate remorse and humbling from the hero. McNaught fans are familiar with this formula, so the aforementioned summary isn't a spoiler in the slightest. The story is very well done and nicely told despite its short length, and my heart went out to the heroine during the misunderstanding -- signs of a well-executed novella. However, I had wanted to read Nick's story since reading Whitney, My Love, and I, like the vast amount of reviewers here, feel McNaught should have written a full-length novel centered on him and Julianna. This had the makings of another emotionally-driven offering, but the readers got stuck with only the appetizer instead of the main course. As a novella, Miracles is wonderful, but I wanted more from the very sexy Nicholas. I enjoyed the other two novellas as well. Jill Barnett's Daniel and the Angel is an enchanting sort-of paranormal set in Old New York and Arnette Lamb's Hark! The Herald was a riveting, page-turning love story set during Medieval Scotland. All in all, A Holiday of Love is a light, sweet and wonderful little holiday offering that will make you smile. I am pleased if a bit unsatisfied with what little I got from Nicholas Duville. Such a great hero deserved his own 500-page novel. Sigh. Should I keep my fingers crossed and hope for an extended version of this novella or a sequel to this story?

5 out of 5 stars The Best Book Ever!!!.......2007-04-18

This book is about a girl named Darcy, who loves her big brother......until he gets a girlfriend. Darcy doesn't like that David is not spending time with her anymore, so she runs away. David is hit by a car and dies. Darcy knows it's her fault, so she finds a way to apologize....she must find his heart, even though it's beating in someone else's body. The rest of the book is a quest that Darcy and her best guy-friend, Sam, take in order to find David. The rest of the book, I will not tell, you must read it! I will say, though, I cried during most of it!

3 out of 5 stars Tugs on Heartstrings.......2007-03-12

Darcy is in sixth grade and she feels very awkward. She stutters when she gets nervous, and she finds it hard to talk to people. Her younger brother is a brat, her father always seems to be angry at her, and her grandmother is in a coma at a nursing home, where the children have to go visit her. But Darcy's big brother David is perfect. He is strong and sweet to everyone. Everyone likes him and he can get along with anyone, but he is especially good to Darcy. There is no one in the world she loves more.

Then David gets a girlfriend. She may be perfectly nice, but Darcy hates her and the fact that she seems to be taking David away. One night in a fit of fury after a ruined birthday celebration, Darcy yells at David and his girlfriend that she hates them and wishes her brother were dead. Then she runs off. As David is chasing after her, he is hit by a car and he dies.

Darcy is riddled with guilt. She feels that she is a murderer, that David's death is her fault. She doesn't know what to do, and her family is falling apart now more than ever. Then Darcy makes a decision. She knows that her parents donated some of David's organs, including his heart. Darcy decides to find the recipient of that heart, to maybe see if that person now has a little bit of David in him or her. Darcy and her best friend Sam set off on their journey to track down David's heart.

I liked the character of Sam, and the way he related to Darcy. I liked how the story was resolved at the end, and I liked how the father's prejudice was explained and dealt with. I thought that Darcy's parents were pretty horrible throughout most of the story, though. They should have been able to do something to help Darcy.

Book Review on "Searching for David's Heart"

Emily Simons
6th Grade
Oshkosh WI


"I don't see why Mrs.Pritcher is making us give stupid speeches in front of the entire class," I groaned to my big brother, David, & my best friend Sam Weiss." Is how the book Searching for David's Heart by Cherie Bennett begins. In the book Darcy adores her big brother David. But when David gets a girlfriend & David starts treating Darcy like a pest things go haywire. On Darcy's Birthday David brings his girlfriend Jayne. Darcy doesn't like Jayne because she's getting all of David's attention. David & Darcy get in a huge fight and Darcy runs away. David decides to follow her and something that Darcy never pictured happens and she blames herself.



In this book the theme is tied in between three different things. Courage- Darcy is leaving home to find the 12 year old who has her brother's heart. Braveness- She's leaving home & not telling anyone & will bring Winston to her parents. Love- "He smiled thorough his tears Merry Christmas Dee-Dee." Merry Christmas. I think all these different themes tie up the book.

The characters in this book are Darcy the main character, a sister who loves her brother more than the world. David as you probably guessed is the second main character, David is know for how great he is at collage football. I think that Jayne would be the third main character, because she in some way is part of David's death. Dad would come before mom, because of his work problem. Now, of course we have mom. Meemaw also know as grandma would be sixth because she is just lying in bed all day & is only mentioned a couple times. Last but not least we have Andy the little brother.

My next topic is the setting of the book. The main setting is Darcy's house. There always at her house. Sometimes in the book there at school. Or they could be visiting grandma, or on the bus to mami, Appleton park, or and Sam's house.

So in conclusion, Searching for David's Heart is a good book. I recommend this book to all ages, & all who enjoy a little sadness and adventures in a book. There is a lot of interesting stuff in this book. So it all comes down to one question Darcy's lost her brother but can she find the only one part of him that still remains?

    5 out of 5 stars Feel good stories.......2006-12-11

    A collection of short stories to get you in the Christmas spirit. Find stories from well-known authors, Christain speakers, folk tales and classic writers. They are short enough so that you can read one in a sitting and can even be used as devotionals or whatever you may need a short inspiring Christmas story for. The book size is nice and smaller to take with you during the season with red leaf foil on the cover. It's a lovely book to give as a gift or to keep for yourself year after year.

    5 out of 5 stars read with a box of tissues.......2005-12-06

    Just when the holiday season has you at your highest level of anxiety, stop and read a story or two in this book and you'll feel much better. It's a get-back-to-basics book that won't consume your every spare moment. The stories are short and uplifting, and remind you of what Christmas is really about. Heartwarming and simple; I leave it on my coffee table as it is a pretty book, too.

    5 out of 5 stars Superior product and Service.......2005-09-15

    The product was beyond what I expected. The price was way lower
    that what I expected. The service as always was great.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Program Material.......2000-12-03

    I checked this book out of our local library while searching for short inspirational pieces to use for our church women's Advent tea. I wanted meaningful short stories or pieces that were not too HEAVY. I found so much that I had a hard time limiting my choices to fit the time given over to entertainment. I chose two by Joni Eareckson Tada and Nativity by Philip Gulley. This little book is a gem. While I am online today, I am ordering a copy for myself and one for a friend.

    5 out of 5 stars Bud loves it!.......2000-11-27

    I've never bought a book for my step-father for which he said "Thank you" until "Christmas Stories for the Heart". He has read it over and over during the past year. I'd recommend it for any age to uplift the spirit.
