Snowflake Lane Inn by-L. P. Dover
This was a sweet read! I loved the theme of family, friendship, and how taking a chance could be the best thing to ever happen.

Runaway Christmas Bride-Cindi Madsen
I got a kick out of the chemistry and banter between Regina and Emmett! This was a cute read about a grumpy sheriff and the runaway bride who captured his attention.

Christmas Lights-Amy Briggs
Samantha’s Scrooge-ish attitude towards the holidays is about to discover a remake when she meets single dad Jason and his daughter, Emily. This story had a nostalgic feel of blending old memories with new and learning to enjoy life after loss.

Christmas Encounter-R.J. Prescott
With a chance encounter, Lauren, a con artist, and Jensen, a race car driver learn good things can happen when least expected.

It’s a Wonderful Holiday-Heidi McLaughlin
I loved this version of It’s a Wonderful Life! Rory and Gwen have to discover the things most wanted are sometimes right in front of you all along.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this series off holiday books. 3 I really enjoyed and 2 were in the okay range. The premise of this book is that they all take place in a small town called friendship and all the charcaters interact with an older homeless man who pops up and disapears all over town in every story and offers them advice of life and love.

Snowflake Lane Inn, by L. P. Dover - This was on of my favorite stories, it stars a famous fashion designer and a normal guy who is her landlord. It was sweet and cute and well written and I really enjoyed it.

Runaway Christmas Bride, by Cindi Madsen - This was not my kind of story. It features a runaway bride and the local sheriff who ends up meeting her and taking care of her after she is left at the church and gets drunk.

Christmas Lights, by Amy Briggs - I really loved this story. It is about a woman who has lost the christmas sprit and she meets a man when she visits town for the holidays and he and his daughter help her find her xmas spirit.

Christmas Encounter, by R. J. Prescott - This was my least favorite story and it was because I did not like the lead female in it. I did not complete reading this story as she is a grifter and her father treats her horribly. She also seems immature.

It's a Wonderful Holiday, by Heidi McLaughlin - This was a great story. Its about a man and his wife who love each other but who have lost that loving feeling and are on the verge of divorce. That is until he decides to fight for his wife and child.

Five authors have given us beautiful, funny and heartwarming Christmas stories in the town of Friendship, Massachusetts. New couples, warm loving relationships and no bedroom shenanigans. This is perfect for young adults and older. Another common theme is a gentleman name Gabe, sort of a homeless guardian angel. My copy came through Netgalley.

Snowflake Lane Inn: Always enjoy Dover's storytelling, this was sweet and heartwarming. A fashion designer trying to jazz up her new line falls into place with a small town and it's innkeeper. This was one of my favorite of the five stories.

Runaway Christmas Bride: Adorable sheriff and type A bride find each other and learn to live in the moment.

Christmas Encounter: A bit of a turn with the girl as the bad influence, but the story has a beautiful cast and great personalities.

I really enjoyed these 5 stories each kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. These are fun, hot, romantic must read stories and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.
