A Christmas in Paradise was unparalleled when it comes to short stories. Actually, it was more of a novella. Carla Kelly has a masterpiece in this one. A complete novel without all of the filler. We has a couple of love scenes and a little education in California history and the Spanish Language. However, the story was wonderful without it. I was really regretting there wasn't an epilogue.

Then, I read the next story, which was a short one. It picked up with the next generation of this family. Then, the next story picked up with the third generation. Each story gave me an update and then finally, I got the epilogue.

I am not really a reader of short stories, but this format was like a complete novel, but in three sections. I really liked it and thought it a very clever way to present a story about several generations of one family.

Recommended!
