My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mistletoe Memories by Bernadette Marie
So cute! I love how in love Gretchen and Levi are, even if she does hate him, reading, you can still tell she will always love him. It is sweet to see both of them being very supportive of each other and willing to help even though they are competitors in the bakery/wedding cake world. It seems to be a whole lot of misunderstandings, but I love love Levi for always thinking of Gretchen in every decision he makes.

A Rocky Mountain romance by Jessica Mehring
Very sweet. Hank is great, and he deserves the best, he seems absolutely, perfectly wonderful. I was glad to see Amity, although coming from a big city, wasn’t as stuck up as I thought she would be, but I had my fingers crossed she would stay in this new town and try things out with Hank instead of going off to another big city to pursue her dream job.

Copper Penny Christmas by Ann Swann
Very sweet and clean Christmas romance. My heart and rage goes out to Randi at dealing with her boyfriend Rally. He is a real piece of work, after having Randi put a hold on her life and uproot to follow him to Arizona so he could finish school, he is out living his best life while Randi is working and trying to make a nice life for them. I really loved reading about the dogs and it seems like there could be good things happening with Randi and Wil.

Merry Mix-Ups by Emily Bybee
This may have been my favorite out of the anthology. Max and Cassi are amazing together and the whole ordeal with her “best friend’s” wedding and all the came along with it was a wonderful mess. The drama involving Cassi’s friend Becca, and Max is perfect, I wanted so much to punch Becca in the face and all that angst she caused. The ending was perfect and I was so pleased to see what came of Cassi and Max and also Becca’s husband Brad!

Falling For Christmas by Amy L. Gale
Very sweet story! As any Hallmark channel Christmas movie will depict, someone from the big city coming to a small town to try to make something always turns out terrible at first. This felt like one of those movies. Of course Gabe is annoying coming in and asking for more money, money the small townspeople don’t have but soon grows to love the town and the people. One person in particular. Natalie and Gabe are so sweet together and it was fun to watch their bond grow.

Christmas Pizzo by Emersyn Kane
Absolutely loved Valentina and Sal. Valentina is a strong woman, strong enough to stand her ground through the drama that was packed into this story. Sal’s ex girlfriend is a real piece of work, so his dad but I guess his dad only does what he does and acts the way he does to benefit the family and Sal. Valentina and Sal are perfect together, I love an Italian love story!

The Mrs. Clause by S.J. Reisner
This story was cute. I love that Abby was willing to lose her inheritance, whatever that sum may have been, to pursue a relationship with Gary. Her ex boyfriend Luke is seriously the worst! I really enjoy watching a character try their hardest to come between a couple only to find out they hold no weight in that couple’s minds or hearts. I really wish we could have found out how much the inheritance was!
