Four Christmas romances that were all different, yet enjoyable. In A Baby for Christmas, we have a woman who just wants to be a mother. After several miscarriages and a recent divorce, Annie is scared yet thrilled to find a baby in a basket on her front porch, with a card that says, "For Annie". Is it possible to keep this baby? But when a handsome, yet angry stranger shows up at her door claiming he is the father, what is going to happen? What a Cowboy Wants For Christmas introduces us to Meg O’Neill. She grew up in foster care with Noah and Charlie, her best friends. She has been in love with Charlie for 13 years and he has said he wants to marry her. When she flies to New York to surprise him for Christmas, she walks in on an unforgivable situation. She flies home and runs to Noah. When he listens to her and comforts her as he always does, what happens to those blocked feelings they have? Snowed In was my favourite story in this anthology. Rachel Johnson and Boden Farmer are both hoping to gain the lease for the Old Watermill House, a restored building owned by the town. Rachel wants to open an industrial bakery and restaurant, Boden plans on a Craft Brewery and Brew Pub. Both are working catering gigs for extra money, so it is no surprise that they are catering the same wedding. When the two of them get snowed in alone at the huge home where the reception is supposed to take place, they get to know each other, even more than they had planned. The last story in this anthology is A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas. Lindsay Tyler is back home in Colorado for her brother’s wedding at the Barton Christmas Tree Farm and Ranch. She hasn't told everyone, but she plans to stay. When she runs into her ex-boyfriend, Cal Barton, she knows she still loves him, but he wants nothing to do with her. Will she be able to change his mind?

These are all novellas, so you know there is going to be insta-love. Considering they are all short and sweet, I felt that I got to know the characters relatively well except in A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas. They all had plenty of Christmas magic so that even though there was some angst and bumps along the way, they all had their happily ever after.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

Lovely story with great characters and plot. Really recommend this to everyone coming into the holiday season.

With superb writers like Lisa Jackson and Maisey Yates, this Christmas anthology bring the Spirit of Christmas to you whether it's December or July. Cute, sweet stories and a great cast of characters, this is the perfect way to remind us what the feeling of Christmas really does in the avenues of love.

**thanks to Zebra for the ARC***

This book is a collection of 4 shorter stories about finding a Christmas miracle. The four authors, Lisa Jackson, Maisey Yates, Stacy Finz, and Nicole Helm are probably familiar to most romance readers but if you don't know their work it's a great introduction to their writing style. All four stories are women who are disappointed in men and hoping that Christmas can be happy. A nice collection. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Santa's on His Way by Lisa Jackson, Maisey Yates, Stacy Finz, & Nicole Helm is a collection of Christmas stories. This collection is the perfect collection for a Christmas Day or Christmas week read. I absolutely adored it.

A lovely seasonal read that will have you searching the skies for the man himself. Always my favourite man of the moment and the night that I cannot sleep through even as an adult. I still peak through the curtains and imagine those heavy black boots landing on my roof. This is a story that is guaranteed to stoke up the excitement in the young at heart - its great for kids from 1 to 92 as the classic crooner sings.

What the Cowboy Wants For Christmas by Maisey Yates
4 stars

Growing up in abusive homes and then removed from them and put into the same foster care family in their early teens, Charlie, Noah, and Meg have been good friends for years. For Meg, it was Charlie she loved at first sight. But it was Noah who fell for Meg when they first met--but Meg only had eyes for Charlie, and 15 years later, she's ready to marry him, and she gets on a plane to New York City to surprise Charlie for Christmas, only to walk in and find him having sex with another woman. Devastated, she returns home in tears and needs to talk it out with her best friend, Noah. When she announces that she's been saving herself for Charlie, and was hoping to lose her V-card as Charlie's Christmas surprise, Noah realizes this may be his only chance, even if he is her second choice. But now that Meg has her blinders off, she slowly comes to realize that her longtime love for Charlie was more of a habit than deep, true love, and she suddenly begins to consider and appreciate Noah's finer qualities, his kindness, his understanding, and his actually listening to what she says, and remembering it. What she's soon to discover is that Noah has been in love with her from the day he met her, and that he's been waiting for her to come to her senses and see that Charlie never really loved her at all and was just stringing her along, promising marriage but never delivering on that promise. After spending one night with Noah, everything comes to a head at the annual Christmas party that their foster family hosts for all the children they've loved and
raised, and things don't quite go the way Meg has planned, or the way this reader expected.

Maisey Yates does it again--in just a few short chapters she has given us three fully developed characters, a story that draws us in from the first page, plus drama, angst, sex, honesty and love, and while I prefer her more lengthy romance novels, this holiday-themed novella worked just perfectly for me.

Snowed In by Stacy Finz
2.5 stars

The second novella in this anthology is Snowed In by Stacy Finz, in which the two main characters, Rachel, who owns the Tart Me Up Bakery and coffee shop, and Boden, who owns the Old Glory Bar in Glory Junction, Colorado, are in competition for the same vacant building in town to expand their businesses. Rachel wants to expand her business into a full service restaurant, and Boden wants to enlarge his bar into a bar and brewery. The two have never been particularly fond of each other until they are both hired to provide food and beverages at a Christmas wedding up at one of Colorado's wealthier mountain homes. When they are trapped by a fallen tree across the road, and stranded in the large, empty estate by the blizzard, their often snarky and adversarial relationship, which has hidden their mutual attraction for some time, finally allows them to act on that attraction. Once the blizzard is over, the wedding re-scheduled elsewhere, and the two are back in town, they simply ignore one another, until Boden gets his wish and the town council decides that he'll get to lease the vacant building, but what then?

There wasn't much in this story that was new and you could see the ending from miles away. It was fairly well written, but in part, because the plot was so predictable, and because there really wasn't anything new or fresh about this story, and also, because there wasn't enough time for a true romance to develop, and finally, because I wasn't particularly fond of the way each character was portrayed--she's an uptight lawyer with a failed relationship and parents who don't approve of her new career choice as a baker, and he's a rather obnoxious, dominant, and womanizing alpha male from the wrong side of the tracks, I couldn't, in all honesty, give this short novella more than a 2.5 star rating.

A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas by Nicole Helm
3.5 stars

Lindsay Tyler left her home town 6 years earlier after graduating from high school. She'd always dreamed of furthering her education in preparation for her career as an artist, leaving her long-time boyfriend, Cal, behind and heartbroken. But things don't often work out as planned, and now, just in time for Christmas, she's back in town for her brother's wedding to Cal's sister, and she finally has to face Cal, who's bitter and angry at the way she simply left him behind, thinking only of herself.

Lindsey never really saw her departure as leaving Cal in the lurch, she was only 18 after all, and now that she's spent the last six years finding herself, she's realized that she's homesick, and that the dream she sought wasn't quite what she expected, so, she's gotten her college degree in education, and plans to teach art instead, taking a student teaching position in her home town. All anyone knows is that she's back for a few days for her brother's wedding, which is going to take place at the Christmas Tree Farm that Cal's family owns and operates. She can't believe that Cal is still so angry that he never wants to be in the same room with her. She's never found anyone who measured up to him in the six years they've been apart, and Cal has never found anyone who measured up to Lindsay either, but can these two characters stop sniping at each other, get past his hurt and anger, and find what drew them together in the first place?

Well, Christmas is the time for miracles, and the perfect time for this emotional read, and also a time to forgive, forget, and realize that sometimes, no matter what we dream is out there for us, home is really the best place to be.

A Baby For Christmas by Lisa Jackson
3 stars

As this novella opens, Annie McFarlane is alone in her half-empty condo on Christmas Eve, surrounded by the cartons she's been packing, newly divorced and still reeling from her third miscarriage, and the angst and tension that led her now ex-husband to find someone else to bear his children and carry on his family line. It doesn't help when he proudly tells Annie that his girlfriend is now pregnant. After discovering that she will probably never be able to carry a pregnancy to term, she's devastated--being a mom is all she's ever wanted. She promises herself that next year, she'll have moved on, and she does--all the way to the other side of the country, where, she's living rent-free in a small cottage on an estate after taking a job as caretaker for the often absentee owners, and caring for their horses.

At the same time, Liam O'Shaughnessy, who once briefly dated Annie's flighty sister, Nola, is livid. He's been falsely accused of embezzlement and murder by his former co-worker and former lover, Nola, and thanks to her, Liam spent time in jail until he was bailed out. Now he needs to find Nola, find out why she made him a scapegoat, and he needs to find the real perpetrator and prove himself innocent of all the charges against him to clear his name. Then, his friend and private investigator, Jack, also discovers that Nola, whose whereabouts are unknown, was pregnant when she disappeared, and Liam believes that the child she was carrying was his. His best and really only option is to find Nola's sister, Annie, who will probably know exactly where she is.

It's nearing Christmas again, and Annie is fairly content with her new life, her job, and her cozy cottage, miles away from anywhere, but she's lonely. She's planning to fly out tomorrow to spend Christmas visiting with her brother and his family, but the forecast of a light snowfall is nowhere near the blizzard that's going on outside, and suddenly there's a loud knock on her door, her dog is going wild, and when she opens her door to see who could possibly be out there, she discovers a basket, and in that basket is a baby girl and a note that reads, "For you, Annie." Annie calls the local authorities to inform them of this but they are overwhelmed by the blizzard, the sudden power outage, and being shorthanded. She's told they may be able to get to her in a few days. She's already bonded with the beautiful baby, who she's named Carol--a wish come true for Annie, but she has no idea why anyone would leave a baby outside her door during a blizzard. The basket also contained diapers, formula, and all the things Annie will need until someone arrives.

Annie doesn't have long to wait, because the next day, Liam arrives at her door, doesn't believe that Annie has no idea where her sister is, and Liam wants to take baby Carol, assuming she's his child, but there's no way Annie is giving her up without a fight, or without a paternity test. With the power out, and the roads so dangerous, Liam is stuck there with Annie and the baby, as they try to sort things out. Annie finds herself attracted to Liam and he to her, but they're virtual strangers to one another. Well, as romance readers, we already know how this plot is going to turn out, and as is the case with many novellas, there really wasn't time to built much of a relationship between these two characters, which was a pity, because I think this novella would have been far better as a full-length novel.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this anthology. The opinions expressed are my own.

This compilation of stories is everything you want in a holiday novel - romance, happy endings and lots of fun. I highly recommend this collection, you will breeze through it and feel all warm and toasty while reading. Plus it is a fun way to get introduced to different authors at the same time.

What the Cowboy Wants for Christmas: Maisey Yates
Meg, Charlie, and Noah all met as teens living in the same foster home. Meg fell instantly in love with Charlie for the last thirteen years she's waited for him, waited to be old enough, waited for him to get a good job, waited for him to come home from New York but this year she decided to stop waiting especially after finding him in bed with another woman. Noah has been a constant in Meg's life and has been in love with her for just as long and finally this year is the year he has his chance to finally show Meg how he feels.

Overall, it was a really nice and steamy read with lots of emotion. Meg looks back on her life and sees things differently than she use too and once she gets all that figured out everything falls into place.

Snowed In: Stacy Finz
My favorite of the book! I absolutely love Glory Junction. As soon as I read in the last Glory Junction book the animosity between Rachel and Boden I knew this was going to be great. Rachel Johnson left her big city corporate lawyer job to pursue her dream of being a baker. Now she owns a fantastic bakery and is looking to expand and she knows just the place. Boden Farmer turned the tired old bar into a gastro pub and he has plans to expand himself but in the meantime he's working the bar for parties which brings him in close proximity to Rachel. They are both prepping for the Christmas Day wedding when they get snowed in. With no distractions standing in their way they finally drop their walls low enough to let each other in but their is still the matter that they both want the same location for their business.

Overall, I loved this one. It's a quick and easy read with funny situations and loveable characters. Rachel has been burned once before so she's hesitant to let anyone else in it takes a grand gesture from Boden to show her he's worth the risk.

A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas: Nicole Helm
Lindsay Tyler dreamed of leaving her hometown behind and she did she left after high school and vowed never to come back. Cal Barton thought he was enough for Lindsay, that she would stay for him and when she left town she broke his heart. After six years of living life on her own Lindsay is homesick she's had her time to grow up and discover who she really is and that person belongs with her family. When her brother gets engaged and she comes home for the wedding she's staying home for good. Now she just has to make it through the wedding at Cal's Christmas Tree Ranch without falling back in love with him.

Overall, this was a nice emotional read about how sometimes to need to be apart and discover who you are away from the comforts of home to really appreciate the place where you belong.

A Baby For Christmas: Lisa Jackson
1995 Annie McFarlane is newly divorced when her husband's girlfriend ends up pregnant. After discovering she may never be able to conceive and then her husband leaving Annie was having a horrible year. 1996 Liam O'Shaughnessy needs to find the real killer of his boss before he gets convicted of murder his only lead is the woman who claimed she saw him there but she's disappeared but he's found her sister. Annie found solace in a small house in the middle of nowhere looking after an older couple ranch. Her plan was to stay a few more days before going to visit her brother and his family but late one night she discovers a baby on her front step with a note "For you Annie". The next night Liam shows up at her door claiming the baby is his and demands to know where her sister, the baby's mother, is but Annie has no idea and with a blizzard blowing in they are stuck together to work it out.

Overall, this one fell short. I love Lisa Jackson's older stuff and this feels like it's only half a book. It feels like there is so much missing from this story. I love the idea of it and the plot and if there is a full version of this story out there I want to read it but this as is is lacking.

Santa’s on His Way is a collection of four holiday romances. I liked the story, A Baby for Christmas, the best. I really could not get into the other three very well. They were well enough written, but the plots just did not grab me. In Baby for Christmas, I thought it was touching that Annie McFarlane became so attached to the baby left on her cabin doorstep. I was not sure what exactly to make of the plot twist when the baby’s angry Liam O’Shaughnessy came looking for his child. The story Was definitely touching for me. In What the Cowboy wants for Christmas, I could not get into the fact that Meg O’Neill, let down by her boyfriend went running to her best friend Noah when this happened, looking for I-don’t-really-know-what. The story seemed a bit contrived for me. In addition, I could not understand why both could not just be up front about things and go on from there. For me the next, Snowed In, was just plain crazy. Rachel Johnson, who is hopefully going to live her dream by getting a spot for her Tart Me Up bakery, spends the story being friendly with but not too cozy with her competition, Boden Farmer, a bar owner who hopes to expand his business in the same spot Rachel is eying. Then, in the end, things work out perfectly. I realize this is a short story, but things never jelled well until the end, which I though came up rather suddenly. However, this was just the way I figured things would turn out when I began the book--just no build-up. In the final story, Lindsay Tyler has returned to Colorado for good, though everyone thinks she is back just for her brother’s wedding. Things get a bit messy when she meets up with her former beau, Cal Barton. Why all the secrecy on Lindsey’s part was beyond me. She was no longer a teenager, but a grown woman, so why not just come out with the truth and stop two-stepping around things? It just did not make sense. As I said, the stories were okay, but I was not taken in by them, except the one with the baby, and perhaps I am just a sucker for babies. Still I think this is a nice, not-too-slow-going holiday read that a lot of readers will enjoy. They should give it a try. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

Thank you to Net Galley for this advance copy. It is a heartwarming book with four different happily ever after stories. Occasionally I find these anthologies kind of fluffy but this set of stories all had strong plot lines that held your interest from start to finish. If you are looking for a wonderful quick read over the holidays, this is the book for you to pick up!

*What the Cowboy Wants For Christmas - I give this one 2.5-3 stars. The writing flowed well, but it's hard to like a story that starts out like this one does. How Meg can go from being "in love" with someone for 13 years, and then hopping to someone else in a day is not my kind of love story. Don't get me wrong, Charlie was a selfish jerk, but the total turn around was hard to take. I do think that Meg and Noah were more suited to each other, and the ending was sweet.
*Snowed In - This was a 4 star read for me. The writing flowed well, and I liked Rachel and Boden together. They had great chemistry, and you could tell from the start that the arguing was just camouflaging their true feelings. This was a quick read, so everything happens pretty quickly, but I felt like it was a complete story. This was a first for me from this author, but I would definitely read her again!
*A Cowboy Wedding For Christmas - I give this one 3 stars. The writing itself was good, it flowed well, and I thought the characters were developed nicely. I wasn't a fan of Lindsey for pretty much the whole book. She had to "get away" from her small town when she was 18 and left Cal in the process. She KNEW his abandonment issues, left him anyway, and couldn't figure out why he was still angry after 6 years. I think that they did belong together at the end, but Lindsey was hard for me to like throughout. She kept trying to give her advice to everyone, which was pretty much leave this town, even when it wasn't asked for. I felt like Cal was justified in his anger, but he was still made to apologize. I get that he needed to let go of the past, but I didn't think Lindsey deserved an apology from him. I did like the ending, and Cal and Lindsey were eventually good together.
*A Baby For Christmas - I would give this one 3 stars. The writing is okay, but it takes place in the late 90's. I thought it was going to start out with a flashback, but it's actually just an old story. It was a little weird to read a story 20 years ago. This one is also more of a romantic suspense instead of straight romance. I wasn't a big fan of Annie, and Liam was a jerk, although I understand why he was. They do have great chemistry from the start, but it's a little weird for me for them to be a couple when it's a real possibility that Annie is involved with her sister's baby daddy.
All in all this was am okay series, but Snowed In was my favorite.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

I read A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas by Nicole Helm.

This is Lindsey and Cal's story. Lindsey left her family and Cal 6 years ago to pursue her love of art in the city. She broke Cal's heart and her own in the process. Now she is returning to her family and wants to make amends but Cal isn't the same boy she left. So good! Not only to we get Lindsey and Cal but Cora and Shane's wedding!

I love reading short stories during the holidays. This book is four stories by four great authors. Each story is different and wonderful! Dont pass this one up!

This holiday book has four different short stories by four different authors. Each author brings their own unique story telling. Cute little love stories , one book has love and suspense. Not my cup of tea.

This set Christmas books was fun to read. Each story was so different, but all ended happily with a beautiful Christmas bow.

Most collections around Christmas, I’ve come to realise, are spin offs of larger series. Out of these four short stories, however, that was only the case for one.
A Cowboy Wedding For Christmas is the story of the youngest of the Garner Brothers. I hadn’t read any of the books about the rest of her family yet, but, well… I pretty much need to right now. Especially as this is, so far, the last book to appear. And I have no idea how everyone got to where they are now. From the oldest brother to the mom, via the older sister back to the brother who feels he “doesn’t have a choice” in his life. It really only took these tiny glimpses into their life for me to become invested in them already!
The same can be said, and even more so, in the main characters from What the Cowboy Wants for Christmas. The main character and both of her love interests first met each other as they all came to the same foster home. After finishing this short story, after reading about the need for and the influence of good foster families? I was basically ready to sign myself up for that. The author managed to – so beautifully – sketch an image that was both tender, raw and (of course) very sexy. I’m just throwing this out there – if explicit scenes make you uncomfortable? Then this collection is probably not the thing for you…
In Snowed In, one of the main characters mentions that the two MC’s being snowed in on Christmas? Kind of reminds him of those silly Christmas movies where people get stuck in a house. Well, talk about meta… This book is basically exactly that. With, you know, a little bit of extra fluffiness on top. Of course, you just have to, don’t you? I mean, it’s such a classic thing: two people who don’t like each other, get snowed in… The advantage to this short story, then, was that we actually got an inside view of exactly why those two people (dis)liked each other. What follows? A beautiful rendition of haters-to-lovers. With some green-red-and-white Christmas spirit thrown right on top!
Finally, there’s A Baby for Christmas. Honestly, I just wish there would’ve been more time to develop their feelings. This entire story is such a non-stop whiplash, from sadness, to joy, to confusion, to anger, back to sadness, to attraction, to … And all of that is just the first two chapters! The premises of A Baby for Christmas is so complex that I almost feel like it’s doing the story a disservice to keep it this short…
Altogether, though, I enjoyed this collection of short stories. It had quite a lot of explicit scenes, but then, it also had the romance to back that up. There were old loves, new loves, insta-loves… A little a bit of everything, really. And of course: there was snow. And Christmas. So much Christmas!
Rating: 2.75/5

I picked this up for the Stacy Finz story, as I’m not much of a cowboy romance fan, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked most of the stories.

“I don’t want to scare you.”
“It doesn’t scare me,” she said, swallowing hard. “But I wonder how I didn’t see it.”
She looked up, her eyes meeting his. “It’s because you were looking at him,” he responded.


“What the Cowboy Wants For Christmas” – Maisey Yates – ★★★★

Meg, Charlie and Noah were all foster kids as teens together, and have stayed friends as they grew into adults, though Meg and Charlie became a couple. When an impromptu Christmas visit surprises Charlie in bed with someone else, Meg runs back to Noah. As she realizes she stayed with Charlie mostly out of habit, she gradually realizes that she may have ignored her feelings for Noah so that she could stay with what was safe and familiar. This was particularly sweet and I loved the author’s style. While there’s a lot of backstory to their relationship, it felt like it was well covered in the space of the story. I can’t believe I haven’t picked up anything by Ms. Yates before and she’ll definitely be going on my TBR list.

“He looked up and held her gaze. “How come you’re being so nice? You usually act like you don’t like me.”
Well, that had been blunt. “I like you just fine, but I view you as a competitor for something I want. Very badly.”


“Snowed In” – Stacy Finz – ★★★★

I’ve read the other Garner Brothers books, and I’ve loved the love/hate chemistry between Rachel, the local bakery/coffee shop owner, and Boden, the owner of the local bar. This story picks up after the last book with both competing to get the lease on one of the last remaining undeveloped buildings in their small town. In the midst of the presentations to the town council, they both are contracted for a Christmas wedding at a remote cabin… and well, you can guess what happens. Yes, it’s quite predictable, but I loved the characters and especially Rachel’s drive. While you get some added background if you’ve read the series, I think this would work fine as a standalone.

“She’d always liked that, that Cal had roots just like hers. Old and settled into the land, but unlike her family’s straightforward cattle ranch, Cal had this amazing, festive, and unique history.
Cal was none of those things, which had always pleased her. Her gruff, taciturn cowboy whose smile was mostly just for her because he didn’t smile for much else.”


“A Cowboy Wedding for Christmas” – Nicole Helm – ★★★★

This is another author I haven’t read before, but I enjoyed it. Unlike the previous two stories, which were pretty light, this one was quite angsty. Lindsey left her hometown six years ago to try to find her place in the world, and is now uncomfortable to admit that the only place that feels like “home” is the one she abandoned. Plus, the only person she’s ever loved was her high school boyfriend, Cal, who seems to view her with nothing but contempt now. Cal was… well, he was a bit of a jerk, and I was very glad when he finally snapped out of it. While I found this one harder reading than the others, it had a good payoff. I think my main issue was that it just felt out of tune with the previous two stories. I think I’ll look up more of Ms. Helm’s books, though.

“A Baby for Christmas” – Lisa Jackson – ★

I’m not a fan of any of the baby tropes to begin with, so I think I was just destined to not like this story. Plus, of all the ones in this anthology, this is the only one that felt, well, incomplete in the novella format. There were too many POVs and not enough focus on the core relationship to sell this to me. For one thing, the characters go from almost complete strangers to in love and getting married in two weeks, and that’s not even counting the influence of all the stress of taking care of a newborn. The story was set in the 90s, and honestly, this reads more like one of the mediocre category romances of that era.

Overall, I enjoyed most of the stories in this anthology, and would definitely recommend it, especially to fans of cowboy romances!

A collection of romantic short stories set in the Christmas season.

As with all collections there are some stories I liked more than others, but overall this is a very solid book. Some of the stories feature characters from one of the series the author writes, but they can all be read as a stand-alone if you haven't read their books before.

Maisey Yates tells a story about finding a chance at love with a friend who has been there all along. Though the focus is on Noah and Meg's romantic relationship, it was interesting to read about their friendships with each other and others through the years. They had difficult childhoods which played into how they relate to each other. I found them easy to root for, and that I hoped they'd find their happy ending.

Stacy Finz story about Boden and Rachel was my favorite! I love her Garner Brothers series and was excited to see we'd get the story of these two characters who appeared frequently. They are forced to spend time together during a snow storm, but that is only the beginning. My only complaint is that I wish this was a full book instead of a short story.

Nicole Helm continues her Mile High Romance series with a second chance love story for Lindsey and Cal. They dated as teenagers, but their relationship ended badly when Lindsey wanted to leave their hometown to see the world. Thrown back together when Cal's ranch is hosting Lindsey's brother's wedding, old feelings and hurts start to resurface. I really enjoyed this story and wish it could have been a full length book too. I think it would have been interesting to see how the story unfolded with a little more time

Lisa Jackson's story is a little bit of romance and a little bit of intrigue and mystery. This is not typically the type of book I read, but Liam and Annie's story was interesting. The plot did feel a bit rushed, and I think including narration from a couple of secondary characters added to that. I felt more invested in the story the further I read, and was satisfied with the ending though.

If you're looking for something to read to get into the Christmas spirit, this will do it!
