A Little Country Christmas is a nice way to begin the holiday season sitting in a nice cozy room that has a large window, drinking a large cup of hot tea with a lemon wedge mixed with honey.
A.J. Pine, Hope Ramsey, Carolyn Brown are new authors to me and do look forward to reading other books by the authors.  

A Little Country Christmas is a nice way to begin the holiday season.  I’m a big fan of novellas but some are rather short and rushed leaving out so much that a full novel would give but all the same there four Christmas novellas get you into the Christmas spirit.  I would’ve love for these novellas to have been more than 100 pages.

All four novellas are great with small Christmas romance.  They are standalones but it was great to read one after the other.  I especially love reading about Armed Forces, older couple, high school reconnections, bad Christmas memories.  

Hope Ramsey - Joy To The World, Older couple novella.  Brenda is having a time with Christmases because of bad experiences but in walks Jim and Christmases are great again. 

Rochelle Alers – Collier is in the armed forces and home for the holiday and meets Iris his sister’s best friend the bar that he is a partner.  They have a one-night stand and meet up later pretending to know each other at his sister’s home.  Collier is special ops in the armed forces and suffers from PSTD.  Iris was in an abusive relationship and recovering rather well. Iris and Collier are in bed sleeping and memories return about her Iris’s abusive past and Collier’s time on special ops assignments.

A.J. Pine – Cowboy Christmas at Heart – Dani and Peyton know each from high school.  Peyton returns to his home after losing his job in Chicago and is not into Christmas traditions but Dani has other plans that will get him into the Christmas spirit.  

Carolyn Brown – The Perfect Christmas.  Landon, Dixie’s toddler daughter Sally, there is a previous book about the couple that picks up with “The Perfect Christmas” great HEA.   

Thank you Netgalley for giving me a ARC of "A Little Country Christmas".

The book was alright. Some of the authors I have haven't had the pleasure of reading work by them.  Also,  some of  the stories were better that others.  But overall I did enjoy the book.

A Little Country Christmas is a collection of four holiday novellas, The Perfect Christmas by Carolyn Brown, Joy to the World by Hope Ramsay, Home for the Holidays by Rochelle Alers, and Cowboy Christmas at Heart by A. J. Pine. These Christmas centered stories all have one common theme, second chances. With an assortment of characters of different ages and different locales, these heartwarming stories are sure to  add to the reader’s holiday literary pleasure. I did enjoy this anthology and do recommend it.

Each one of these stories is short little ones with a couple I am sure to go along with other series. The only author I had not read before was Rochelle Aires. Hers was about a pastry chef finding herself again with the help of a visitor who turns out to be the brother of her friend. He is a soldier and though Iris is leery of starting a relationship because of her marriage ending the way it did, she does like the thought of trying. The soldier has decided to get help for his PTSD and what you have is a very good and different Christmas story one that I could relate to. This one was very good and really added to the book for me. Overall a good book.

If you love Christmas romances then this collection of stories from four well-loved authors will make you a very happy reader this holiday season. I have followed series with three of these authors, the fourth is new to me, but delivers a lovely, engaging romance as well.

Since these are all Christmas-size novellas I don’t want to give much away from each story… but if you’ve followed Carolyn Brown’s “Longhorn Ranch” series then you’ll definitely want to read The Perfect Christmas which kicks off these four stories. I am never ready for a series that I’ve loved to come to its conclusion – but when it has to come what better time than with the joy of family around Christmas. I got misty-eyed with Dixie, Landon and baby Sally as this group slowly but steadily forms a new family to step into the future with.

Hope Ramsay takes us back to Magnolia Harbor where one soul-weary woman has lost her joy of Christmas and taking on an unusual musical task will bring her in contact with the one man who can reach her. I loved watching Brenda and Jim come together and each is given something by the other that brings them happiness and a chance at a lifetime kind of love.

Home For The Holidays by Rochelle Akers gives us a slightly darker, deeper look at lives around the holidays as a woman who has experienced the nightmare of abuse, and a soldier who still deals with the horrors he’s faced will find exactly who and what they need in each other. This one is emotional and broke my heart knowing what Collier and Iris have gone through before finding each other.

And the one I got the most chuckles from was A Cowboy Christmas At Heart by A. J. Pine as one new Grinch-like mayor tries to stop a beloved town’s Christmas tradition. I adored Dani, and learning of the reasons behind Peyton’s decision made it a lot easier to like this Scrooge. I simply had fun with their story as Dani’s love and excitement to light up her Sheriff’s Office with Christmas lights galore bring this couple exactly what they need – each other.

I had fun with these Christmas novellas, laughter, a few tears, and a really good time. If you love a Holiday Romance then A Little Country Christmas is perfect for you.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Great collection of short stories/novellas from these authors. I have read Carolyn Brown and Hope Ramsey in the past and enjoyed their works. The other two authors did not disappoint. Perfect for the busy Christmas time of the year. You will have time to read a story and complete it between all the hustle and bustle of the 
season. Read and enjoy!

I have read books by Carolyn Brown before, but this was a first for me by the other three authors. Reading them has definitely peaked by interest and has made me look into AJ Pine, Hope Ramsay, and Rochelle Alers. 

1st novella by Carolyn Brown and baby Sally has definitely stolen the show! I love all the southern charm and cowboy hats.

A.J Pine! You have me wanting to find my own cowboy turned mayor. Such a cute story to get anyone in the holiday mood 🎄

I voluntarily read this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC.  

4 stars

A fun Christmas anthology but four fantastic authors! I adored this so much and what I really loved was that the stories weren't too short. They were all the perfect length to tell a great story and get great character development!

I loved these four short stories!  I asked for this book because I just love Carolyn Brown, but I have found some other authors that I am going to add to my list of ones that I want to read.  These were great, feel-good Christmas  stories to get you in the mood for the holidays.  Need a little Christmas romance.....grab this book!

A great bundle of Christmas stories in this new release!!! I really enjoyed Carolyn Brown's "A Perfect Christmas" in this book!!! Such a romantic story that leaves you feeling the love at Christmas and all year long!!! Read and enjoy!!!

Some incredible feel good and get you in the Christmas mood from some of our favorite Country and Cowboy Authors.  I walked away from this book with a smile of my face.

I’m usually both a big Christmas story fan, as well as loving short stories, but this set wasn’t one I’m going to remember or read in subsequent years. Three of the authors are familiar to me and I do enjoy their books, but I feel like I something was missing...either it was part of an existing series I haven’t read or the stories were preludes to longer books.
The one author I hadn’t read started out very interesting, since I pave never read anything set in that part of the country. But it turned much too dark for what was otherwise a lighter Christmas compilation and I didn’t think it fit well. Plus, even for a novella, the ending was extremely rushed.
Depending on the price point, it might be worth it for one or two of the stories for another reader, but unfortunately, not for this one.

As the weather finally turns a little cooler this was a perfect week to pick up this book with 4 novellas and a Christmas theme.  Carolyn Brown is an author I always read.  Her contribution of, The Perfect Christmas, was sweet and a fun read.  The small town ranch setting was a good one for Landon, Dixie and her baby daughter, Sally to celebrate the season. Also included is Joy to the World by Hope Ramsey, another favorite author, Home for the Holidays by Rochelle Alers and Cowboy Christmas at Heart by A.J. Pine.  All embrace the small town neighborly vibe.  I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I was so excited about this book. Four stories about Christmas! And one of the authors is a favorite. Carolyn Brown is still a favorite and now I have added Hope Ramsey to that list. The Perfect Christmas by Brown and Joy to the World by Ramsey stand out with Christmas cheer, traditions and an overall holiday feel. From blizzards to carols, both stories put me in the holiday mood. The other two stories left me disappointed. Home for the Holidays was more involved with fashion and sex. Not my cup of tea. Cowboy Christmas was enjoyable but I felt it needed a prequel and definitely a sequel. The story felt incomplete. I will probably try another book by A.J. Pine. A Little Country Christmas is a holiday book but reader beware. The stories include, death, divorce, domestic violence and PTSD episodes. I could use a little less sadness and a lot more happiness in today’s world. I voluntarily received a copy of this book from Netgalley

A Little Country Christmas, by Carolyn Brown, A.J. Pine, Rochelle Alers, and Hope Ramsay, contains four amazing small town holiday novellas and the magic of the season. Carolyn Brown’s The Perfect Christmas pairs cowboy Landon Griffin with single mom Dixie Boudreaux and her baby girl. He is determined to win their hearts by giving them the perfect holiday at Longhorn Ranch at Longhorn Ranch; baking cookies, trimming a tree; checking out the holiday lights, building snowmen, etc. When things start to go wrong, Landon looks for a Christmas miracle and some magic to help him win over Dixie. A.J. Pine’s Cowboy Christmas at Heart pairs up Deputy Sheriff Daniela Garcia with her high school crush, Coop, who is now the mayor of Meadow Valley. Daniela has her work cut out for her to convince Coop to keep the Holiday Light Parade, discover why he has become a Grinch, and show him the true meaning of Christmas. Rochelle Alers’ Home for the Holidays has pastry chef Iris Nelson enjoying life on Cavanaugh Island and excited to spend the holidays with her family and her best friend, Tracy. Iris never expected the handsome Collier Ward, on leave from Afghanistan and Tracy’s brother, to sweep her off her feet. These two will have to determine if their attraction is part of the magic of the season or a forever gift of true love. Hope Ramsay’s Joy to the World features a seasoned couple. Retired music teacher Brenda McMillan has long lost her holiday spirit, but reluctantly agrees to become the director for the Magnolia Harbor Christmas Chorale for Dr. James Killough. James is not only the town’s biggest Christmas enthusiast he’s also the group accompanist. As James and Brenda spend time playing music and dating, they find a connection, an attraction, sizzling chemistry that draws them together. James just hopes he can work some Christmas magic to help mend Brenda’s broken heart.

Each story is a perfect representation of a series written by the author. All of these stories are new, standalone novellas, written within each author’s world. I found these stories to be well written, have a great storyline, amazing characters, and wonderful holiday magic.  You will find romance, emotions, attraction, and sizzling chemistry within each story and they will have you wanting to seek out other books by these amazing authors. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of the stories in A Little Country Christmas and I highly recommend the anthology to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Four Novellas in one book, totally worth getting.  Each journey quite different in it's presentation and characters, but all with that wonderful HEA I love.  
Great compact reads to get you into the Christmas spirit.  Get comfortable, get hot chocolate and get infused with Christmas.
