A Christmas to Remember by 5 Prince Publishing – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

A Christmas to Remember: An Anthology from 5 Prince Publishing by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Christmas to Remember is a Hallmark lover’s dream read. This is a compilation of 5, short, charming stories. Each story reminded me of a sweet, Hallmark romance read. Every story was good. I enjoyed all the characters. I enjoyed the plots of most of the books. My favorite is between “Mistletoe Memories” and “Falling for Christmas”. “Mistletoe Memories” is a story about an ex-couple who are competitors in the baking world. There are ups, downs, competition, and devotions of love. “Falling for Christmas” is about a city boy, Gabe, coming into a small town. Gabe is taking over the bank and all the loans from the small business town. The town is not happy about the changes being made, but he is a man willing to learn. Like many books about small towns, he falls in love with one of the locals and truly learns about the miracle of Christmas. The one book that I really enjoyed but was left wanting more was “Copper Penny Christmas”. This particular book is about a girl who follows her boyfriend across the country so he can go to school to be a lawyer. She is a vet tech, with dreams of becoming a veterinarian. She finds out her boyfriend isn’t as faithful as she thought. I love the fact that she stood her ground in this relationship. However, towards the end of the book, she starts to recognize what could be a great friendship or more with a man whose dog is a patient. There is some sadness to the story, but the male interest seems like such an amazing man. The story ended with the implication of a possible romance, but nothing more. I really was left wanting to know how the romance would have bloomed. However, no matter, I am a sucker for Christmas, feel-good stories so I enjoyed every bit of this read.
