After reading The Dusk Gate Chronicles, I felt Breanna Putroff was very kind in giving a little more in "A Christmas Rose".  This was a perfect way to add a little extra flavor to an already wonderful 4 books of enjoyment.Personally when I read I would rather read stories that can have a bit of romance, adventure, and I can deal with a little heartbreak or heartache (but not devastation), with happiness.  There is enough unhappiness already all around; and when I wrap myself up in a book, I want to know I can find satisfaction in knowing I will enjoy it in the end and feel good wanting more when I'm done reading.This series is perfect for a feeling of holding on to dreams, finding a way to make good decisions and sticking too them.  In the end you don't feel exhausted, but feel excited, lifted and hopeful.  Very wonderful reading.  I can't wait for your next book and sequels to this series as well with Owen and Jonathan.  I would like for the author to also consider background on Samuel as well.  It would be nice to see what his thoughts were in dealing with a child who was the heir and hiding it while he should have been stepping up...and then his sudden death.  Just thinking...
