A Christmas Surprise by Janelle Taylor

A Christmas Surprise by Janelle Taylor is the story of what happens after Betsy Reed finds out she’s pregnant right before a romantic Christmas get-away with her beloved husband, Tommy. She’s absolutely convinced that the lab tests were wrong, that her file was switched or it was all a mix-up so she keeps it a secret from Tommy, who knows she’s hiding something.

A Christmas Surprise has a few more layers than that, with a health scare prior and trauma due to seeing a very close relative actually die in childbirth. There is plenty of love and romance between Betsy and Tommy, with lots of acceptance as well.

I give A Christmas Surprise three out of five stars. An entertaining story, but without a lot of meat on it’s bones.
