All is Calm, All is Bright by Colleen Coble

Return to two of Colleen Coble’s most beloved settings—Bluebird Ranch and Hope Beach—for holiday romance and mystery!
All Is Calm
It’s going to be an unexpectedly romantic Christmas at Bluebird Ranch.
Brendan Waddell has always considered Bluebird Ranch a little piece of heaven: an idyllic ranch that pairs abused children with abused horses, run by one of his Marine buddies. Now, it seems just the place to spend Christmas recovering from an on-the-job injury.
Lauren Everman first came to the ranch as a foster kid, but now knows it’s the perfect hideout. As the witness to a murder, Lauren needs somewhere to lie low. Her beauty immediately catches Brendan’s attention—but so does her secretive behavior. This Special Ops Intel man knows a woman on the run when he sees one. Can he trust her, or is she putting the ranch at risk? One thing is certain: he’s going to do everything he can to keep her safe so he can see what magic Christmas brings.
All Is Bright
A romantic Christmas wedding at Tidewater Inn gives Delilah’s unique gifts a chance to shine. But will her light be snuffed out before the bride and groom say “I do”?
As manager of the Tidewater Inn, Delilah Carter has been planning a spectacular Christmas wedding for her friend, Elin Summerall. But when Delilah’s car is forced off the road and into the ocean, she finally has to admit that the strange phone calls she’s been receiving lately may be more than just pranks.
Sheriff Tom Bourne has always had a soft spot for Delilah, and he’s determined to protect her. He hopes to win her heart by giving her the surprise gift of a lifetime . . . but first he has to make sure nothing happens to her before Christmas Day.
It’s the season of miracles. But will both Elin and Delilah get the ones they need this holiday season?

My Thoughts
This is a great 2 novella set. I love Colleen Coble. This is my 2nd and 3rd read by her and I am hooked. Her writing is great. I am even more interested in her other full length novels after reading these. I have fallen in love with novellas. They are short and sweet and to the point. They say everything they need to say quickly without a lot of fluff.

All is Calm is the story of  Lauren Everman. A girl with a secret and a past. She meets Brendan Waddell and together they try to clear Lauren's name. The setting is great. A ranch for foster kids with troubles. This book is of course a quick read, but Colleen is able to finish the story without leaving you hanging. You will meet some other great characters too. I would love to read Colleen's other books in this series. I can see myself hooked on the stories.
All is Bright is the story of Delilah Carter, the manager at the Tidewater Inn. She is always helping everyone she knows. When she is run off the road by a mystery person, is there anyone who will help her? Sheriff Tom Bourne is ready and willing to help her find this guy, but will she let him in on her past to help with the investigation? This one was almost edge of your seat the whole time. Again a quick read obviously but well thought out and thoroughly finished. Another series I now must read!
These are great reads that won't disappoint. If you are new to Colleen Coble I highly recommend these. You will be hooked. I can't wait to get my hands on her other novels and novellas.
I was blessed by the Fiction Guild with a copy of this book in exchange for review. A positive review was not required.
