Sadness I've loved this sweet series but unfortunately I felt like this story was forced to get going and slow to end. The other books have been more involved with the story around the individual teacups but this one felt like it was tied up in the present. It was redundant with the stories running parallel to each other as if the book had to meet its quota of words. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheTeacup Novellas (5)
Lucy Alexander's Teacup Novellas were inspired by a collection of vintage teacups her Aunt Lucille bequeathed to her. She's excited about writing the next book in the series, a Christmas tale loosely based on her aunt and uncle's love story set in the 1940s. But when a hostage situation lands Lucy's boyfriend in the hospital, she sets her work aside to keep a bedside vigil with Mark. As the long hours of waiting stretch on, Lucy starts to read her beloved aunt's handwritten diary. Shocked to discover a frightening story so eerily similar to the one she's living, Lucy longs to find hope and encouragement in the pages of Lucille's diary. December 1944: "The most wonderful things seem to happen when you least expect them," writes Lucille Alexander after a serendipitous meeting with Gary Reynolds, a handsome lieutenant home on leave from the war in Europe. The two are inseparable in the five precious days he has left before heading back overseas. On their last morning together, Lucille accompanies Gary to the train station, already dreading the long separation ahead. But that would be the least of her worries after her brave lieutenant rushes to help an elderly woman in distress. Lucy finds a strange solace in her namesake's ink-stained journal. Though seventy years have passed between them, would their stories have the same ending? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

For me, "A Christmas Peril" was the slowest story in this series. The plot felt forced and the ending was too predictable. Also, the teacup in this novella was almost an afterthought, unlike the other stories where it played an integral role. Overall, a sweet series, but a disappointing conclusion. ( )
