Four stories written by four different authors each with a different holiday story that has some twists to each one, but still adds to the holiday season. found them to be all good stories with good characters.

This book is written by four great authors. The holidays always at an unexpected twist to some stories and these are no exception. Wonderful and entertaining characters in each of the stories. Great storyline and there may be a couple surprises in each of the stories. Wonderful addition to any library. Good set of books.

This book was made up of four Christmas Novellas. Fern Michaels is the only author that I had read before, but I enjoyed all four of these sweet Christmas Romances. I will say that I enjoyed Christmas Kisses by Fern Michaels and Second Chance Christmas by Jules Bennett the best. These were all relatively short stories so there was not a lot of character development. I did enjoy all the settings and there was some delightful humor in Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown. I do not want to repeat the blurb about each story, so will just say that it was a book I read over a few days as each story can be read or listened in a couple of hours. These were Happily Ever Afters that I enjoyed each evening as I unwound from the day.

Who doesn't enjoy a fun, wintery anthology? I absolutely love an romantic anthology set at Christmas time. It's an easy, quick, fun read to get you in the spirit of the holidays.

I love these kind of books. If you love Christmas and want to sample a few really good authors, these are a great way to do so.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

All 4 stories were centered around Christmas. The authors did an amazing job of writing stories that I will want to read each holiday season to put me in the Christmas spirit!

Four short Christmas stories by some familiar authors. Fern Michaels pens Christmas Kisses with a young woman starting a new phase of her life by moving from Las Vegas to small town Kansas. Susan Fox gives us a Christmas story of a man seeking out his son who is now 8 years old. Julie Bennett has a nurse going on a blind date with the husband of a woman she nursed many years ago who died of cancer. Finally we get Grace traveling to Ireland for Christmas and meeting an actor who makes her heart go pitter patter. Nice length for the busy season. Enjoy

Good stories from wonderful authors. Each story had me inertwined with the char charters.

These were feel good Christmas stories. More towards the romantic side. But easy, Christmas reads.

Four writers join together to bring four festive cheer books, All feel good books full of Christmas goodwill and great to snuggle up on a cold winter's day to read

I just love Christmas stories, they always brighten my day when I read them. This one is no different, 4 fantastic authors have come together to create this great anthology of Christmas cheer. All four stories are very well written with wonderful characters that you can easily relate to. This book will make you want to enjoy Christmas all year round. You will enjoy these stories of love, hope and happiness. Now go find somewhere to curl up and read as you will not want to put this book down till the very last page, I guarantee it. This anthology will even soften the hearts of some Grinch’s this Christmas. 

Christmas Kisses by Fern Michaels

Meredith decides it’s time to hang up her dancing shoes and leave the bright lights of Las Vegas and move to Nashville, Kansas (not Tennessee). She finds a house she wants to buy on Craigslist, and heads there to meet Noah who is selling his grandma’s house. Noah is a guidance counselor at the high school where Meredith gets a temp job, she ends up getting Noah’s name in the secret Santa. Will Meredith give into Noah and go out on a coffee date?

He sends payments through every month for him but he was not ready to be a father 8 years ago. He now wants to get to know his son now. Jillian has changed since she last saw Michael, she is no longer the party girl. Jillian has grown up and is a loving mother to Cole. Will Jillian allow Michael to be a part of their son’s life and hers at the same time.

Second Chance Christmas by Jules Bennett

Blind dates never go well for Ruby, but she has accepted to go on one more. Knox the husband of a patient that Ruby once cared for before she passed away is her date. Ruby is not too sure at first but they end up back at her place baking cookies and Knox decorating her house for Christmas. Can this be the second chance they are both needing? 

Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown

Grace Murphy is off on an adventure to Ireland over Christmas to find Colin Monaghan, the actor that she dreams about meeting (oh and she is obsessed with him). There is fun and adventure on every page as Grace searches for Colin. She does find Colin, but is it the Colin she wants? Is it her Colin? 

If you are after a great book full of Christmas cheer to read this season then I recommend this one. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books/Zebra for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A fabulous collection of romances. I found each selection to be well written with a good storyline. Three of the author's were new to me and I enjoyed their writing and will be looking for more of their work. I recommend this to readers who enjoy a good romance.

Winter Wishes is an anthology by some of my favorite authors with a new one thrown into the mix. I like anthologies for the very reason of trying new authors while this anthology only had one new author for me.

Christmas Kisses by Fern Michaels is a heartwarming story of starting over. Change can lead to not only a new environment but also a new love.

Blue Moon Harbor Christmas by Susan Fox is a story of reconnecting after several years. Susan Fox is one of my very favorites authors, but this is not my favorite story in the anthology. I liked Jillian just fine and the decisions that she had made but Michael not as much. Yes, I understood he was young when the fling happened. I was glad to see he has matured in 8 years. However, I like my heroes to be heroes.

Second Chances by Jules Bennett is a magical story of blind dates and wonderful surprises when you literally open the door. Wonderful story

Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown has a rather silly premise but is great fun to read. I could easily see a younger Meg Ryan playing the main character on Hallmark movie based on this story. This author is one I will want to read more that she has written.

Winter Wishes contains four wonderful stories that are perfect for the holiday season. Each is a story of forgiveness, healing, and second chances. This one is a must read for the holiday season.

In Fern Michael's Christmas Kisses, Meredith moves to a new town to start her life over. That's were she meets Noah. Her very handsome and kind neighbor that is doing everything to make her feel welcome and wanted.

In Susan Fox's Blue Moon Harbor Christmas an absentee father realizes exactly what he's missing out on and sets out to meet his son. He soon realizes he wants to make up for all the time he's lost with both child and mother.

Second Chance Christmas by Jules Bennett is a wonderful story of a blind date that reunites a nurse with the husband of one of her patients who sadly passed away. They've both made big changes and now might be a second chance for both of them.

Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown is a fun story of a woman who travels to Ireland to find her favorite actor. While she never finds the right Colin the one she does find may make this trip the smartest thing she's ever done.

I enjoyed this anthology of Christmas stories. They were light and easy to read and I would recommend them to readers who are looking for a quick light read with happily ever after endings. I always enjoy holiday stories and this group of stories did not disappoint.

Winter Wishes contains four holiday stories by four well known authors. A very good holiday read.

Really enjoyed the Susan Fox story, good addition to the series.

Winter Wishes contains four stories from four different, well known authors. The stories are very holiday appropriate. The only real thing the four stories have in common is the running theme of the holiday season. Christmas Kisses follows a young woman who is changing jobs, who meets Noah, whose grandmother’s house she hopes to buy. In Blue Moon Harbor Christmas, Michael travels to see Jillian and the baby they had together eight years ago, hoping to meet the child and try to bond. In the process, the couple find out things they missed years ago, perhaps hoping to erase all that time apart or forge new beginnings on which to build. In Second Chance Christmas, Knox and Ruby go on a blind date, though they both know each other already, and both end up finding something they were not necessarily looking for. Finally, in Finding Colin, Grace ends up in Ireland looking for her favorite actor. The Colin she meets may not be the one she is expecting, but, things have a way of turning out for the better during the holiday season.
.
The stories are short and sweet and all well written. The plots may not be anything but predictable, but they will definitely get you into the holiday mood. I know because, though I realize the holiday will not be here for several weeks, I am already there after reading these stories. I think anyone looking for a good Christmas book to curl up with, regardless how many more days or weeks until Christmas, will enjoy this one. I received this form NetGalley to read and review.
