Mistletoe Season is a must for all! I am a huge fan of these three authors, so getting the chance to read this book of novellas was amazing. So grab this book and snuggle up because you won't be setting this down until it's done.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham

This delightful book has three heartwarming stories that take place at Christmas time. Each is a separate, standalone story, written by one of these three authors, who are among my favorites.
These heartfelt, holiday stories have loveable, relatable characters, who either meet their Prince Charming (literally) or a former high school crush comes back into their lives unexpectedly. Although actual mistletoe plays an important role in each of these charming, heartwarming, holiday stories, each of the young women learn that some of the scariest things in life can bring the biggest blessing.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and comments in this review are my own.

This book was really good. I love reading Christmas books all year because they are always so positive. I love how this one had three different but good endings to it. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for a good review

I loved these three Christmas stories . a quick read as the stories were not long. I really enjoyed the book.

I've only read one of these authors before but I have enjoyed Pepper Basham's Skymar series so I decided to give this collection a shot. I was glad I did. Each story differs from the others but the mistletoe ties them all in.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
I enjoyed the story overall but it was marred by the repeated use of the word 'lass'. I get why it was in the story but for whatever reason, its use grates upon me as much as the using babe as a pet name. I don't like either of them so 'lass' kept irritating me. Probably not going to bug most people though and I was glad they got their HEA. 4*

Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
I have been enjoying the Skymar series so I was happy to get to spend a little time with their prince. I liked him and how supportive he was with Charlie. Their meet cute wasn't very cute. In fact it was messy and kinda gross but them looking beyond that to see the best in each other was made all the sweeter by it. Had some Christian themes. 5*

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts
While I'm often not a big fan of first person stories, the opening chapter of this one was delightful and wouldn't have been so much without being told in first person. And I was sold. I enjoyed the story and was so relieved when the mean girl was outed. Whew! This could almost be an insta-love story except that she had a crush on him for many years. So it was kinda a second chance trope except they had never been together. They just shared one mistletoe kiss in high school. And it didn't go well. I was happy for them to get their HEA too. 5*

Overall, I enjoyed this collection of stories. It was a fun read.

No sex, language or violence

*I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I requested this book based on the cover, not realizing that it is 3 shorter stories, and I was pleasantly surprised! It may be hot here and almost summer, but these stories got me right into the Christmas spirit. So fun!

An absolutely delightful book featuring three novellas that worthy enough of their own full novel. These stories will grab your heart and imagination putting you into a festive mood for the holiday season.

While each story is unique, you cannot help but find yourself fully immersed in each one and how they seamlessly flow into the next story. You find yourself feeling all the emotions of the characters and even laughing at some of their antics.

I finished this book with a happy heart and smile on my face! I highly recommend reading this book especially during the holidays.

What a fun collection of Mistletoe stories! I really enjoyed all 3 stories in this collection! I love how each author tells a different story all related to the Christmas season and mistletoe.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Turner - I enjoyed this story so much. I really like the fact that the author featured main characters who are in their 40’s. Emmy is an independent business owner who feels like her chance at true love has passed her by. Kieran is her best friend’s brother, and her high school crush, who finally comes home to visit after living in Ireland for more than 20 years.

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham - I have read the 3 Skymar books by Pepper Basham and was so excited for this story which features some of our favorite characters from Loyally, Luke, and also introduces new favorites! This author managed to pack ALL the best parts of the Edgewood stories into this lovely novella. Without giving any spoilers, I will just say that I love Charlie and her journey to find confidence and believe she is enough. Prince Arran is all I hoped he would be and more than I ever expected.

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts - What a fun story! Hailey reluctantly returns home to spend Christmas with her family. After some disastrous mistletoe kisses (including her first kiss on a dare with Carwyn, her high school crush and neighbor years ago) she vows to avoid mistletoe at all costs. Little does Hailey know, Carwyn has been anticipating her return and possibly a second chance under the mistletoe with Hailey.

This is an enjoyable 3-novella Christmas/Mistletoe collection, My favorite is The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham, which takes place after her Loyally, Luke novel. Prince Arran comes to Mt. Airy, NC to help Luke with construction and meets Charlie/Charlotte. Can they work out all the royal vs common issues and distance issues? Luke and Ellie play parts too!

Return to Mistletoe, by Kathleen Fuller, is about Emmy, who owns an antique shop in Mistletoe, MO, and Kieran O’Neill, who just sold his castle in Ireland and comes back home to Mistletoe. I enjoyed this one too.

Say No to Mistletoe, by Sheila Roberts starts out with Hailey saying to herself that mistletoe is her kryponite. It’s in the first person, but gets better as she meets someone and tries to stay away from mistletoe! Sweet, cute.

All 3 novellas were sweet, very enjoyable reads.

I got this ARC from Netgalley. It is three mini-stories in on book. Each story is filled with love and, obviously, mistletoe. The first story focus on a antique store owner finding love in an Irishman and getting her dream. The second follows a small town girl finding love, courage, self-worth and strength, and her prince charming along the way. The last story follows a New York Author going home as she is going through some personal issues, only to find herself and love along way.
Each stories are very well written.
10/10 recommend.

This book is three sweet reads to kick off your Christmas season! Or get you in the spirit of the season! I enjoyed all three of these short stories about these little towns and their holiday gatherings. Nothing puts you in the spirit like a holiday party or two, some Christmas giving and some friendships along the way.

𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗢𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡 is the embodiment of several of my favourite things in one splendid little package! First of all, I am a huge fan of Christmas romances and will read them at any point of the year. And second, I love a good novella in between longer, more intense reads. I read each of these stories when I needed a break and finished them in one sitting. This is a must read romance collection, TBR and Enjoy!

This quick and enjoyable read was a delightful escape, populated with well-written characters that felt fun and engaging throughout the story. The author's engaging prose and witty dialogue made for a captivating experience that left me wanting more. The fast-paced plot kept me hooked from beginning to end, and the satisfying conclusion left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

I love Christmas stories any time of year, so Mistletoe Season was an instant pick for me.

I've been reading Pepper Basham's Skymar series so was thrilled to get a novella with Ellie's brother Prince Aaran and Luke's cousin Charlie as the main characters. I loved the story, but in true Basham style I always find a thought-provoking quote to ponder long after the story ends,
"..two important things every thoughtful human wants...To be seen and loved for who we really are."

I've read some of Kathleen Fuller's books and assumed I'd enjoy her take on Christmas in Return to Mistletoe, and I was right I did enjoy it! Emmy and Kieran's story was fun, and sweet and a great addition to this group of stories.

I had not read any or Sheila Roberts books before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Her story, Say No to Mistletoe was a surprise and a delight. Her tongue in cheek delivery of all the reasons to say no to Christmas had me laughing out loud. Hailey and Carwyn were adorable together. I'll be reading more of her books, especially any with a Christmas theme.

All in all, Mistletoe Season was an appealing trio of stories full of charm, wit and romance. I highly recommend this collection. I appreciate Thomas Nelson Publishing making a copy of Mistletoe Season available for review. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.

Each one of these stories are based around Christmas and have mistletoe at some point in them. I really enjoyed all three stories but my favorite was the one by Pepper Basham. I have read her other books and were familiar with the characters in this story. I loved the growth these characters experienced. I love how I s as least feel uplifted after reading her books. I highly recommend this compilation.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own." Thank you #NetGalley, #ThomasNelsonFiction and #HarperCollinsChristianPublishing.
What a gift... 3 stories in this book. The individual stories take you to different locations across the country and world. I enjoyed the mistletoe theme that runs through each of them. Castles and Princes are included and of course happily ever after. You will definitely want to cozy up to a warm fire and read these at least once this Mistletoe Season.

OVERALL STAR RATING: 5/5
CLEAN RATING: 5/5

What an amazing anthology! This book consists of a dream team of authors. Three Christmas novellas all with a little focus on mistletoe for the season. It always amazes me when authors can pull together such a complete feeling story with great character depth within the pages of a novella.

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts – Sheila’s book had me giggling right from the start. She never fails to bring characters that you instantly connect with.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller – All the sweet small-town vibes you’d ever want, especially during the holiday season. The town is named Mistletoe and there’s a cute little antique store. Need I say more?

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham – Fairytale like moments with characters of royalty! And brace yourself…Luke Edgewood makes an appearance in this novella. If you're a Pepper fan, you know how beloved this character is from her Skymar series.

Each of these stories is entertaining and completely unique from one another. Elements of faith, love, discovery and hope woven throughout them all. And of course, plenty of moments under the mistletoe.

All 3 novellas were wonderful Christmas stories. I think The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham was my favorite. I've loved every book by her that I've read and highly recommend her books. It was wonderful to see the characters from her Skymar series again and Prince Arran and Charlie were such fun characters.

Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. Sheila Roberts writes a very beautiful happily ever mistletoe story. A writer falls in love with the guy back home. And thinks it is unlucky to kiss him under the mistletoe.

What a delightful way to get into the holiday mood!
I loved these three stories written by three wonderful authors.
The stories were full of sweet moments and swoon-worthy moments. Each one also included entertainment mishaps with mistletoes and how that little plant changed individuals’ lives.
All the stories were short and easy to read.
I truly enjoyed reading about each character's situation.
Each book has a flair of its own, and each author is skilled in storytelling.
The stories will bring a chuckle to your heart and soul and a glow to your face.
Another aspect I loved about this collection is that the authors, throughout each story, revealed tender truths about God’s love. These were sweetly written and not at all pushy.
This collection got me thinking about Christmas and all the beautiful aspects surrounding that time of year. Now I can’t wait for the holidays to start! It was just what I needed to get into the holiday spirit, and now I want to decorate my house!
I highly recommend you pick this collection up; it will bring a smile to your face and warm fuzzies to your heart!
The publisher gave me this book, but this did not influence my review in any way; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

How fun! I loved this book, and it’s already getting me into the holiday season. Overall well written and enjoyable.

A Heartwarming Holiday Anthology: Mistletoe Season

"Mistletoe Season" is a delightful anthology that brings together three enchanting Christmas stories by talented authors Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham. This collection is perfect for readers looking to immerse themselves in the warmth and magic of the holiday season.

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts

Roberts kicks off the anthology with a charming tale of second chances and overcoming past embarrassments. Hailey Fairchild's aversion to mistletoe, stemming from a mortifying high school experience, sets the stage for a humorous and touching journey of personal growth. The reintroduction of Carwyn Davies, Hailey's former crush, adds a delicious layer of tension and romance to the story. Roberts expertly weaves together elements of humor, nostalgia, and romance, creating a relatable and enjoyable read.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller

Fuller's contribution transports readers to the quaint town of Mistletoe, Missouri, where Christmas spirit is always in the air. The story of Emmy Banks and Kieran O'Neill is a beautiful exploration of the conflict between love and personal aspirations. Fuller's writing shines in her portrayal of small-town charm and the gradual rekindling of a connection between the main characters. The antique shop setting adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia that perfectly complements the holiday theme.

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham

Basham rounds out the anthology with a modern fairytale set in the heart of Appalachia. The story of Prince Arran St. Clare's journey of self-discovery in Ransom, North Carolina, is both entertaining and heartwarming. Basham skillfully balances the fish-out-of-water elements with genuine character growth, creating a story that is both funny and touching. The addition of a romance with a woman who helps Arran see beyond his royal facade adds depth to the narrative.

Overall Impression

"Mistletoe Season" is a perfect blend of holiday cheer, romance, and personal growth. Each story in the anthology offers a unique perspective on love and the magic of Christmas, while maintaining a cohesive theme throughout the collection. The authors have created memorable characters and settings that will linger in readers' minds long after they've finished the book.

This anthology is ideal for those who enjoy feel-good holiday romances with a touch of humor and depth. It's a great choice for cozy winter nights or as a gift for the romance reader in your life. "Mistletoe Season" reminds us of the power of love, community, and the special magic that seems to fill the air during the holiday season.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Christian Publishing for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Mistletoe Season: Three Christmas Stories by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham is a heartwarming anthology that brings together three festive romances, each linked by the magical presence of mistletoe.

In Sheila Roberts' "Say No to Mistletoe," we follow Hailey Fairchild, a romance writer whose history with mistletoe has led to a series of comical and disastrous encounters with love. Returning to her hometown for the holidays, she dreads facing her past crush, Carwyn Davies, whose high school kiss under the mistletoe was anything but ideal. Roberts crafts a delightful tale of second chances and personal growth, blending humor and nostalgia with a touch of romance.

Kathleen Fuller's "Return to Mistletoe" transports us to the quaint town of Mistletoe, Missouri, where Emmy Banks, a lifelong fan of Christmas, reconnects with Kieran O'Neill, her old friend and secret crush, who returns from Ireland for his mother’s birthday. Fuller's story is a charming exploration of love and small-town magic, filled with heartfelt moments and a touch of whimsical holiday spirit.

Pepper Basham's "The Mistletoe Prince" rounds out the collection with a modern fairytale twist. Prince Arran St. Clare, exiled to a small North Carolina town, must participate in a local Christmas fundraiser to prove his worth for the royal life he’s destined for. With a blend of royal intrigue, personal transformation, and a budding romance with a spirited local woman, Basham delivers a fun and engaging story that celebrates the true spirit of Christmas.

Overall, Mistletoe Season is a delightful read for anyone seeking a quick dose of holiday cheer and romance. Each story offers a unique perspective on love and the magic of the season, making this anthology a perfect companion for cozy winter nights.

Three stories, three authors, and three different towns and people around the holiday season. It was a smooth flow from one story to the other. Each one has the holiday spirit, each one had different lessons that they had to learn, and each one was unique in seeing who they all were at the beginning of their stories and who they are at the end of their stories. As summer is winding down, As summer is winding down, it was a book that made me realize, Christmas stories are amazing anytime of the year.

Rating: 5/5 star!⭐

This collection of three novellas is perfect for the holiday season! Each story brought the magic of Christmas to life, making it the ideal read for cozy moments.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
Novella Rating: 4 stars
This sweet novella is about rekindling a high school romance, set in the charming small town of Mistletoe. It’s a heartwarming best friend’s brother story that delivers on the nostalgia and coziness of a family Christmas reunion. Even though it's a quick read, it totally captures the holiday spirit!

A Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
Novella Rating: 5 stars
This was my favorite of the three! While it felt a bit lighter on the Christmas atmosphere, I loved the dynamic between the two main characters. Prince Aran was adorable and everything you’d imagine in a fairytale prince. The banter between the leads had me laughing and smiling throughout. It’s a dreamy, modern fairytale romance set in a small village, with a plot that flows beautifully and a great ending! I really enjoyed this one!

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts
Novella Rating: 4.75 stars
This novella was the most comedic of the three! It perfectly balances the chaos and charm of a holiday rom-com, centered on a career woman returning to her hometown after living in New York. The unexpected twists, humorous moments, and heartwarming interactions made it a delight to read. I loved the 90s rom-com vibes, and the creative storyline left me wanting more. It could’ve easily been a longer novella!

Overall, if you’re looking for a lighthearted holiday romance, or something to read during family visits over the holidays, this collection is a must-add to your winter TBR. Each novella brings something unique while still capturing that cozy Christmas spirit! Highly recommend!

Lovely holiday romances. Each one is different and sweet. I fell in love with each of the characters. This is absolutely perfect for the holidays.

I received an arc from netgalley and the publisher.

This set of 3 novellas in one Christmas book is a very fun Christmas trilogy. I really liked all 3 stories, but Pepper Basham's novella that continues some of the characters from her very popular Edgewood family/Skymar series steals the show for me! I love heartwarming stories at Christmas and this trilogy of books, centered around Mistletoe delivers what many readers like me are looking for at the holidays.

I enjoyed how Mistletoe, used very differently in each of the novellas was a light connection in each. The writing is good, stories are all engaging and characters in all 3 are relatable.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Mistletoe Season is a delightful, cozy set of stories sure to put its reader in the mood for a romantic Christmas season. These heart warming stories by wonderful authors are sure to be a favorite on your Christmas TBR list this year!! A must read for all Christmas romance lovers everywhere!

“Mistletoe Season” is a lovely collection of stories that all relate in some way to the Christmas tradition of mistletoe. E@ch story stands completely on its own, and they are all good cozy Christmas reads. I enjoyed two of the stories more than the other, but I did enjoy them all. I thought that “Return to Mistletoe” was a delightful holiday story with all of the feels and all of the warm fuzzies a reader wants in a Christmas book. The plot included some good characters and some good personal growth for those characters. I really loved “A Mistletoe Prince” with Charlie and Arran. Both main characters are well-developed and well-thought out. They have similar needs for growth on some levels and yet opposite on other levels. They were so very relatable, and I hated to see the story end. I wanted to know more and more about them! The third story, “Say
No to Mistletoe” was a little harder for me to get into, and just when I felt the story was going to take off, the book wrapped up! I enjoyed the overall plot of this one, but it was harder for me to relate to it for some reason. The writing style was just a little different or something, but it is still a lovely holiday read to get the reader in the mood for Christmas.

I requested a copy of this book for review. The thoughts expressed here are wholly my own.

Lovely collection of Christmas stories, each containing a little mistletoe magic. Two of the stories include the second chance trope, and the other includes the royalty trope. They range in lightness/depth with the third one (Sheila's) being the lightest and, therefore, most like a Hallmark movie and the second one (Pepper's) being the deepest (still like a Hallmark movie but with substance). I enjoyed reading each novella in this collection for my little "Christmas in July" treat. The holiday events and weather made the summer heat feel a little nicer.

Three adorable stories for your Christmas reading. Two new to me authors and the wonderful Pepper Basham create enchanting romantic Christmas stories that are definitely worth the read. NetGalley, the publisher and authors, provided this book for my review. The opinions expressed are my own.

I was drawn to read this series of novellas because I am a big fan of Pepper Basham’s storytelling and I really liked her The Mistletoe Countess! I ended up enjoying all three of these sweet Christmasy tales, my favorite being A Mistletoe Prince. I don’t generally read much romance so was not familiar with Sheila Roberts and Kathleen Fuller. Each of their short stories were fun reads. The book as a whole would make a perfect winter weekend in front of a cozy fire read!
Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson publishers for the opportunity to read for my honest review.

We are offered three different novellas that revolve around some sweet romance and mistletoe, by three different authors.

One story is a town named Mistletoe and two people who know each other, but haven't seen each other for years. Life goes on, but will mistletoe change their relationship?

Then we have a prince visiting his sister, now this fellow is doing penance or trying to make up for mistakes, and now he is in North Carolina. I have read a previous book about this kingdom from this author, so good, and this sweet story does not disappoint. Can a rural girl become a princess? Well, keep page turning there are answers!

The last story does also have mistletoe, and an author with really bad boyfriend experience that sadly included this plant. Can you go home again? Hailey does and ends up with some really bad hair days, but that's another story, she also is rescued by her former childhood neighbor as she has met the pavement. This is such a cute story, but pain needs to be released in order to capture the future.

You will find yourself lost in this fun read, and when the last page is turned, looking for more!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.

'Mistletoe Season' is a perfect holiday read from three exceptional authors. The unifying theme is a kiss under the mistletoe and readers will enjoy how this plays into the storytelling. It was fun to meet new characters and reunite with peripheral characters in books I'd previously read. All, however, were enjoyable and a great book for the Christmas season.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I really enjoyed this read. I love Christmas books so was happy to try this one.

There are three separate stories in this one book by three different authors. The first one is Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller. It's a story of a town and friends old and new. Moving on and staying. I enjoyed it.

The second story is The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham. It's not what comes to mind involving a prince, at least for most of the story. It's funny, and also very touching. A joy to read.

The third and final story is Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts. In this case Mistletoe is a bad experience for main character as in disaster times three. When she returns to her hometown for the holidays, will the jinx be fixed? It kept me up reading to find out.

I enjoyed the three novella’s included in this delightful Christmas collection. Each story has its own unique charm. I hope no one asks me which one is my favorite because I am not sure I could choose between them. I loved each of them! Often novellas feel rushed with characters lacking depth. That is not the case with this collection. Each story has delivered above and beyond expectation! Multifaceted characters who each have their own strengths and weaknesses as well as growth. And the chemistry between each couple is electric! A page-turning delight!

(I received a copy from netgalley for review at my own request. I am not required to write a positive review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are my own)

All three of the stories in Mistletoe Season are charming, funny, sweet, and swoony! They’re the perfect reads to get you in the mood for Christmas!

Return to Mistletoe

This story was so adorable! Mistletoe, Missouri does Christmas in a big way! Of course it would with a name like Mistletoe, and I adore reading stories set in cozy, small towns like this. I loved the characters, and I would read an entire series of books including them! Emmy and Kieran’s second chance love story was really sweet.

The Mistletoe Prince

I read all of Pepper Basham’s Skymar series, so this novella about cousin Charlotte “Charlie” and Prince Arran made me so happy! Prince Arran and Charlie’s meet-cute is a disaster, but Arran certainly makes an impression on Charlie! However, Charlie quickly realizes that first impressions aren’t always correct assumptions. Arran and Charlie are completely adorable together. Like Basham’s books, this is filled with lots of humor and lots and lots of heartwarming, swoony moments!

Say No to Mistletoe

Sigh! I was completely captivated by this story! Poor Hailey has had disastrous experiences with kissing under the mistletoe. She’s a successful author of romance books, but her own romantic life is non-existent. However, when she returns home for Christmas, she finds out that her first mistletoe kiss really was her happily ever after. I adored everything about Say No to Mistletoe and didn’t want it to end!

I highly recommend Mistletoe Season!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Cute, cute and more cute! This trio is perfect for a fun Christmas read. They all have an underlying faith thread.
Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
Heartwarming story of second chances set in the quaint town of Mistletoe decorated for Christmas. Relatives conspire to match Kiernan and Emmy when Kiernan returns from many years away. Family values are clearly shown and the atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic.
A Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
Hilarious and a decidedly uncute meet! Snarky comments between Luke and Charlotte steal the show. And the names Charlotte has for Arran are so funny: Royal Rascal, Snoring Sovereign, Mouthy Monarch and Prince Nosebreaker. It was wonderful to connect with the Edgewood family again.
Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts
A romance writer who has bad luck under the mistletoe. This is a very funny rom-com with a favorite trope of heroine comes back to the hometown and meets her highschool crush. So many cute quips. I laughed a lot and the final mistletoe kiss was perfect.

#BookRevew : MISTLETOE SEASON by Sheila Roberts; Kathleen Fuller; Pepper Basham

Three Christmas Stories in one book was a delightful treat. I'm so glad I read these novellas. They were concise and enjoyable. While I wished they could have been longer to savor each story more, each ended on a positive note with a mistletoe theme connecting them all. I also enjoyed the small town romance and festivities.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller - This was another sweet story by the author. I enjoyed the carriage ride.

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham - I just love the Edgewood family from the Skymar series so no doubt this was my favorite. I got to revisit Luke and Ellie which was fun.

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts - This was my first book by the author and it won’t be my last.

Thank you Thomas Nelson Fiction and #netgalley for the complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

This anthology was absolutely delightful! Two authors were new to me and my love runs deep for Pepper Basham and the second I saw her name on the title I knew I would be reading this one. #noregrets!!

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller

'When he left Mistletoe, he didn't vie the town, or Emmy Branch, more than a second thought. He sure was thinking about her now.'

Little sister's best friend, second chance connection all set in a beautiful Hallmark-esque town. This is perfect for any Christmas reading!! This book had real heart and soul put into it and I loved the escape this provided!

A Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham

"When I prayed for a prince as a little girl, Lord, this is not what I had in mind."

I cannot get enough of the characters from this series. If you've been reading Authentically, Izzy, Positively, Persephone and Loyally, Luke you're already more than in love with these characters... to add in Charlie's story with a rogue prince was chef's kiss perfection! Royalty, meet-cute gone wrong, second chances and learning to trust; all with Pepper's wit and pop culture references made for an unforgettable Christmas romance!!!

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts

'Mistletoe is my kryptonite. One kiss under it, and I go weak in the head. My last three mistletoe kisses resulted in relationship disaster. Which is why I, Hailey Fairchild, am swearing off it.'

This book gave me major 90's romcom vibes and made me laugh out loud so many times. This is boy next door, unrequited crush, second chance kisses (is that a thing? let's make it a thing lol) and really a fun read from start to finish!

Overall, you cannot go wrong with any of these! If you're looking for some fun, contemporary Christmas romances-this would be a great place to start!! Anthologies are always perfect for the busiest time of the year to pick-up and put down with short, quick stories!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Content/Triggers: minimal innuendo, off-page cancer mention, partying regrets, parent abandonment, secondary character under the influence of alcohol, romance-kisses only.

I loved each of these three novellas. Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham was my favorite of the three. Especially since it gave us a glimpse of Charlie and Prince Arran! I've been following the Edgewood Siblings' series so it was really fun to get to read Arran's story. If you haven't read that series, no worries, you'll enjoy this novella!

The other two authors are new to me authors. I enjoyed reading their contributions to this adorable mistletoe collection! They were all very clever, sweet and full of charming characters whom you can't help but cheer for and hope they get their sweet mistletoe kiss! I loved the settings of each novella and the secondary characters.

This is a collection that is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. Or, you can just enjoy reading the sweet and clean love stories anytime of the year!

Content: All three are clean with kisses only.

I received a copy from the publisher, Harper Collins Christian Publishing. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Reading!!!

The only problem with a novella collection is that each book ends too soon! I was loving these characters and their love stories, which made me ready for Christmas - in September ha!

I know some of the characters in Pepper Basham's "A Mistletoe Prince" are mentioned in her Edgewood family trilogy. Now I am curious if we learn more about any characters in "Return to Mistletoe" by Kathleen Fuller or "Say No to Mistletoe" by Sheila Roberts in their other novels?!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley. Opinions are my own.

Antiques and Irish castles, a rebel prince, and Mistletoe kryptonite sum up the themes of the three sweet holiday romances found in Mistletoe Season. Perfect, quick, curl-up-and-read-with-cocoa stories that will get your holiday season off to a merry start!

Return to Mistletoe (Kathleen Fuller) - Emmy loves Mistletoe and has no plans to ever leave. Kieran left as soon as he could. When Kieran returns briefly to celebrate his mother's 70th birthday, sparks fly between them - but can two people with such different plans make things work?

The Mistletoe Prince (Pepper Basham) - Charlotte always wished for a prince as a child, until she realised how unrealistic the idea was. And her first meeting with her cousin's brother-in-law would put her off if she hadn't already abandoned the idea. But as she sees more of the man, her question shifts from whether the disgraced prince is good enough for her to whether she's good enough for the real man...

Say No to Mistletoe (Sheila Roberts) - After several bad experiences, Hailey is convinced that any mistletoe kiss she engages in is doomed. When she returns to her hometown for Christmas and meets her first mistletoe kiss again, the attraction is stronger than ever - but can she look past her fears to see the truth?

The first and third stories felt fairly run-of=the-mill to me: nothing bad, just forgettable - but the second was delightful, and very well worthwhile. So, this is going to be a review of 'The Mistletoe Prince'. Having read previous books in the series (not necessary to enjoy this story, but very worth doing!), I had high expectations - and wasn't disappointed. It's on the shorter side, but none the less well developed or paced. I was grabbed from the first page and thereafter sighed when they made bad decisions, rejoiced when things went well, and felt for them when things were hard. And when it came to the end, I was torn between appreciating their well-deserved happy ending and being sorry to say goodbye. I particularly empathised with their feelings of inadequacy, and appreciated seeing them each work to convince the other of their worth - in Arran's case, a worth not related to his royal position. A real redemption story on Arran's part, and of acceptance on Charlotte's part. All in all, highly recommended.

Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book.

I enjoyed reading Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. You will fall in love with all the characters. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!

I loved the three clean contemporary romances presented in this Christmas anthology by two of my favorite authors, Pepper Basham and Kathleen Fuller, and one new-to-me great new find author, Sheila Roberts. Each novelette is a complete story but is just the right length for reading during a busy holiday season when there isn’t as much downtime to relax. Each one is full of heartwarming content that will put you in the Christmas spirit.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller has a best friend’s big brother trope and features a small town woman and a rugged hero with a delicious Irish accent.

A Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham gives us an opposites-attract story featuring a heartbroken prince gone wild who has left his country of Skymar for NC in hopes of regaining his footing and mending his reputation by working with his brother-in-law doing artisan carpentry, construction, and masonry. One of his co-workers, Charlotte aka Charlie, is like no one he has ever met before and he is fascinated. Oooo-oooo this is a good one—straight out of a believable fairy tale.

Say No To Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts is about a young woman who was a wallflower in high school but now has blossomed into a successful, published romance author who lives in NYC. After a number of years she finally is coming home to Washington state for a family visit and meets up with her crush, the boy next door who is now the high school principal. She also deals with her mean girl nemesis who is dating her brother. It’s a triumphant story of growing up and moving forward.

Highly recommend! I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher vis NetGalley. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

I enjoyed reading these 3 Christmas novellas. My favorite was Pepper Basham’s, as it ties in with her recent series of Authentically Izzy, Positively Penelope, and Loyally Luke. Mistletoe gets worked into each of the stories in different ways, but always provides opportunities for the main characters to kiss :-) The characters in each of the stories are well done, and the various plot twists keep up interest. A fun read for getting ready for Christmas!

I love anthologies because they are a great way to read new authors. Two of these authors are new to me. Every story in this anthology has great characters and sweet romance.
Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller is a second chance sweet romance. I loved Kieran and Emmy. I loved that they were a little more mature in age.
The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham is so fun. While this is a stand alone story, it is also belongs in a series that Ms. Basham has written that I love! I love Arran and Charlotte (Charlie). I love that their love for each other strengthens the other. The first meeting is interesting and sets up the story beautifully. Redemption and love are throughout this story.
Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts so good. "I am smart, I am strong, I can conquer any situation, and I can resist mistletoe." Hailey's luck with mistletoe is extremely bad. This story is so good. Carwyn and Hailey are great characters.
I love this anthology and I would highly recommend it.
