Description
Christmas in the windy city of Chicago with two award-winning stories to warm your heart for the holiday season.
Dante’s Gift
Kathleen James has put her practical side away for once and looks forward to the perfect romantic evening: an intimate dinner with the man of her dreams—and an engagement ring. She is not prepared to hear that he wants to bring his grandmother back from Italy to live with him. Dominic Lawrence has planned this marriage proposal for six months. Nothing can go wrong—until his Nonna calls. Now he must interrupt the tenderest night of Katie’s life with the news that another woman will be under their roof. When Antonia’s sister dies, she finds herself longing to be back in the states. An Italian wartime bride from the ‘40s, she knows how precious love can be. Can her own story of an American soldier and a very special collie once again bring two hearts together at Christmas?
Merry Christmas, Henry
Henry, a shy and talented artist, moonlights as a security guard at a museum and loses his heart to a beautiful, melancholy woman in a painting. As his obsession grows, he finds a kindred soul who helps him in his search for happiness. On Christmas Eve, Henry dares to take a chance on love and fulfill his dream. A holiday fantasy short story

I liked this stories and I found them engrossing and well written.
The characters are well thought, the plots well crafted and it was a pleasant read.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A Chicago Christmas Collection has two short stories previously published separately: Dante's Gift and Merry Christmas, Henry. Dante's Gift has two different timelines, one is about Katie and Dominic's engagement in the present and the other is about Dominic's grandmother Antonia who lives in Italy meeting her husband Ken during World War II. Antonia is coming to live with Dominic in Chicago since she is getting old and should not be living by herself. I especially enjoyed reading and learning about Antonia rather than Katie who I found a bit shallow.
Merry Christmas, Henry is a heartwarming 40 page short story about Henry who is a painter by day and guard at a museum by night. The love of his life is a woman named Rebecca who is in one of the paintings in the museum. What happens next was quite unexpected and unlike anything I have read in a Christmas novel before.

Dante's Gift
This was a sweet and touching story with the sweetest hero and an adorable matchmaker grandmother, and i liked Dominic more than his love Katie.
Merry Christmas, Henry
Cute holiday read.
