Rescuing Christmas (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

Three sweet Christmas tales loosely connected through a Humane Shelter and the love that rescues can bring to our lives. Holiday Haven by Vicki Lewis Thompson – Television cameraman Ben doesn't want the pain losing love can bring so he holds himself apart with only casual hookups. Shelter director Tansy knows that love sometimes hurts but oh the joy of having had it. Ben & Tansy meet when she is at the station asking for people to foster shelter animals over the holidays. Can Tansy and crotchety cat Max show Ben that love is something everyone needs?Home for Christmas by Catherine Mann – Being a military wife is tough. With their marriage on the rocks Shelby hopes that when Alex comes home on holiday leave a trip to deliver some shelter dogs to their forever homes will give them time to talk. Can their marriage be saved?A Puppy for Will by Kathie DeNosky – Will is divorced and has thrown himself into his work. When his Grandmother cons him into fostering Harley, a St. Bernard/Bernese Mountain dog puppy (think small pony), over the holidays Will isn't thrilled but then the puppy gives him something to do besides work. Will’s new neighbor Marcie is determined to have a good Christmas this year. Can she and Harley help Will realize that there is more to life than work?I purchased this because I've enjoyed other stories by Vicki Lewis Thompson. I enjoyed her story but my favorite in this book was Home for Christmas by Catherine Mann. It may have to do with the fact that I am a former military wife and know just how very hard it is to make a military marriage work. All three stories are worth the read. This book also reminded me just how much our three rescue kitties bring to our lives. This anthology revolves around a no kill shelter run by Tansy Dexter from the first novella in this book. The characters then are loosely woven together because of that. There's nothing over the top in this book like you might find in some Christmas anthology books. I really enjoyed all three of these and let loose a giggle or two as well. Tansy is a sweetheart from Holiday Haven and she runs the shelter. She gets some help from Ben Rhodes no matter how much he wants to resist her he can't. Then in Home for Christmas Shelby and Alex are one step away from divorce although neither really wants that they can't figure out how to communicate their needs to each other. Shelby hopes a road trip to deliver adopted dogs will help with that. Lastly Will Parker's takes in a puppy St Benard for the holidays to help out the shelter even though now days he fancies himself a loner and work aholic. Two bad his new sexy neighbor doesn't know that. For a nice easy enjoyable read this is a great holiday anthology to start with. 4 out of 5 stars for Rescuing Christmas!
