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.

I absolutely adore anthologies such as this, where all the novellas come out strong at the end with happiness, cheer, and just overall perfected contentment. I would tell you any one of these was better than the other but that second chance love stories, friends to lovers and just ultimately love during the holidays is bound to bring you cheer and prep you for the upcoming season! I would suggest giving this a read, great authors, amazing writing styles and I’d be surprised if it fails in captivating your attention, interest and emotions! Definitely recommend!

I really love Christmas Anthologies! It reminds me of my childhood when my aunts and grandma would swap Christmas books and share the magic of Christmas. This anthology was well done. The stories flowed very nicely together and none of them felt out of place. Merry Mix-Ups was my favorite in the collection. If you are into the spirit of Christmas- add this to your list!

I loved this book of short stories all around Christmas! I would feel a little bummed everytime I turned the page and it started a new story. I wanted to keep reading and getting to know the characters and story lines. I loved the characters, the settings, the story lines, and the holiday spirit! The authors did a great job telling the whole story in just a few chapters. I felt like I got to know each of the characters and loved them enough to care about what happened to them. I have looked up each of the authors and added their books to my to-read list. This was a perfect collection of stories to get me in the holiday mood!

This collection is the perfect read to put you in the holiday mood! With seven different stories from seven different authors, there is a variety of writing styles. If one story isn’t quite to your fancy, the next one surely will be. I think my favorite story featured Italian-Americans living in the French Quarter in New Orleans. What an absolutely perfect way to kick off my holiday reading!

A Christmas to Remember is an anthology I just couldn’t resist. All of the stories were fun and heartwarming in their own way and I don’t think there was a single one I didn’t like!

Mistletoe Memories kicked off the anthology on the right foot. It reminded me of one of my favorite Hallmark movies with two rival bakers. It had a little bit of everything, including that warm holiday happily ever after.

Rocky Mountain Christmas was easy to was with a familiar feel to it. Amity was a character that I grew to like.

Copper Penny Christmas- I loved the perspective this story was told from. This was a cute story on how things don’t
always go to plan but they often turn out better than expected. The story was easy to read with sweet characters, I honestly loved it.

Merry Mix-Ups was a fun, funny holiday read based on misunderstandings. Some of them, pretty humorous. The
characters were the type you could see yourself becoming friends with and the dual storytelling made this a great read from both perspectives. This read like the kind of holiday movie I love to watch. Very fun!

Falling for Christmas- My favorite part about this installment is that the chapters had titles. I didn’t just fall for that feature though, I loved the small town feel and holiday movie vibes it gave. I enjoyed Natalie and her willpower! Overall, another great edition to this holiday collection.

Christmas Pizzo- I really enjoyed this story, focused on family and what you’re “meant” to do. I really liked Sal as a character and again, the duel storytelling was helpfully to see both sides to the relationship.

The Mrs. Clause was an adorable story with a looming question about love vs money. The story was fun and easy to read with super sweet characters and a clever plot. It was a great story to wrap up the anthology and I’m officially in the holiday romance spirit!

This is a series of stories centered around the Christmas holiday. I figured I would like it because it’s more then one story and that they are centered around Christmas, which I really normally like that time of year. While it isn’t what I normally read, it’s very interesting on how they can take similar stories and combine them like this. I am currently still reading the last story as I write this, I realized that I really like romance stories (I think that what these are in my opinion) even though I have told myself multiple times that I don’t.

This book consists of 7 HEA Christmas stories by Bernadette Marie, Ann Swann, Amy Gale, S.J. Reisner Jessica Mehring, Emily Bybee, and Emersyn Kane. What a great collection! Each story has its own characters and are unique to each author. This is one of those books where you will need to settle down in front of the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and immerse yourself into these stories for the evening. I love reading these types of books that have multiple stories in them. If you are looking for a reason to get into the holiday spirit, look no farther!

This is a great anthology, in no small part because each book can be read independently, or if you are really in the Christmas spirit…or just love to read…it can be read all at once. There are seven different books within this one purchase. The books do not tie together in any way other than being about Christmas and the magic of finding love at that time of year. If you are an animal lover, someone who has recently lost a loved one (even if it is due to unfaithfulness) or just someone looking for a Hallmark movie type of read, there is something here for you. Just remember not everything is as it seems, especially people.

This is a great anthology of some really wonderful Christmas stories. They are all quick, easy reads and really bring home the heart of Christmas. While each authors story is unique to them, these stories will leave you wanting more and ready to celebrate the season. Each story, while having its own plot, has amazing character development and storylines. If you want something to kick start the holiday season this collection is definitely worth the read!

A Christmas to remember is a fantastic collection of holiday reads, to get you in the spirit of Christmas. I personally read them in order one right after another but you most certainly could read them in any order and spread throughout the holiday season to keep your reading festive.

Mistletoe Memories by Bernadette Marie . This was such a cute cozy Christmas read. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters.
A Rocky Mountain Romance by Jessica Mehring Another cute Christmas romance, this one the characters grew on me, the character growth is fantastic.
Copper Penny Christmas by Ann Swann This was such a cozy Christmas read, Enjoyed the Storyline
Merry Mix-Ups by Emily Bybee This has to have my favorite characters of this collection, and the story is fantastic, certainly one of my favorite reads in the collection.
Falling for Christmas by Amy L. Gale Another favorite, with fantastic character growth, this one has Hallmark Christmas movie written all over it!
Christmas Pizzo by Emersyn Kane , Christmas Pizzo, was the most different for me, an Italian Christmas Romance. I fell in love with the Characters for sure! Fantastic writing.
The Mrs. Clause by S.J. Reisner Another Cozy Christmas read, this one was certainly a page turner. This may have been my absolute favorite of the collection.
I highly recommend this anthology if you are looking for Christmas Romances this Holiday season.

A Christmas to Remember is a splendid read for the holidays. This collection of short stories are warm, full of the holiday spirit. I especially enjoyed A Rocky Mountain Christmas by Jessica Mehring.
“Amity’s heart beat a little faster at that. She took Hank’s hand again and gently pulled, bidding him to follow her out of the kitchen. She guided him to the front of the house, next to the glimmering Christmas tree. A soft snow was falling outside the window.”
Reminds me of a hallmark movie. I kind of hope it becomes a full novel. If your in the mood for some holiday cheer and romance then this is a great book to read.

I love a good Christmas romance and with the A Christmas to Remember anthology by 5 Prince Publishing, you get 7 of them. This book is around 600 pages but well worth the read. You get such a good variety of romance against the backdrop of Christmas. There are enemies to lovers, small-town romance, surprise romance, and a lot more. It’s hard to pick a favorite and I won’t try. All the stories are wonderfully written and absolutely adorable. This was the perfect book to start my holiday season with. Out of all the stories, you are bound to find one you enjoy, if not all of them.

This was such a lovely collection of Christmas stories and I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Some authors I’ve read before and some were new to me. There was a mixture of longer and shorter stories but all gave me that warm fuzzy Christmassy feel. All of the stories in this anthology were beautifully written, had great characters and were all different.
The stories included in the anthology were

Mistletoe Memories
A Rocky Mountain Romance
Copper Penny Christmas
Merry Mix-Ups
Falling for Christmas
Christmas Pizzo
The Mrs Claus

I loved the mix of genres included in this from contemporary romance, second chance romance to mafia. There’s definitely something for everyone in this wonderful 5 star anthology!

A Christmas to Remember is a fun collection of stories all by different authors. Reading this book was like watching the Hallmark Channel at Christmas time, only on paper, with free reign to imagine the settings, characters, and stories, with a twist. There was a lot of variety in the stories from a thief stealing another bakeries ideas, to a small town under new management trying not to lose their businesses, a little copper dauschaund finding a home for Christmas, friends doing friends wrong, lots of overcoming struggles, to an inheritance with special conditions, and even a mafia romance. The best part about this book is that each story had a happy ending! A Christmas to remember was comforting, cozy, and enjoyable to read.

A Christmas to Remember is a wonderful collection of Christmas romance stories by some great authors and what better way to start the coming season. These stories will melt your heart and leave you wanting more. It is not always smooth sailing, but the angst and tensions add to the stories.

MISTLETOE MEMORIES by Bernadette Marie is a lovely story of rivals coming together to defeat those that are trying to destroy their chances of winning. Will their past get in the way or will they be able to overcome it and win more than a contest?

COPPER PENNY CHRISTMAS by Ann Swann is full of surprises. Some surprises are better than other but this was not at all what Randi thought would happen it was the opposite in fact. However, mistake or not she now finds that some surprises were worth it.

FALLING FOR CHRISTMAS by Amy L. Gale is a sweet tale. When a big-city businessman comes to town the small community is in an uproar. When he makes a deal with one of the business owners never did he imagine that a deal could be so sweet.

THE MRS. CLAUSE by S.J. Reisner finds a woman who is desperate. Desperate enough to look to the past. That is until someone so wrong is the same one who is so right. Can Santa’s magic give her all she needs to beat the clause in time?

A ROCKY MOUNTAIN ROMANCE by Jessica Mehring sees a woman trying to pick up the pieces of her life that is now in tatters and find a way to move on. Finding a man certainly was not on the cards especially on who love this small town.

MERRY MIX-UPS by Emily Bybee is a sweet story where one man’s morals may stop him from having the best thing to ever happen to him. Can he let go and embrace all that can be?

CHRISTMAS PIZZO by Emersyn Kane is a heart melting story of forbidden love. Two warring factions that threatened to keep love a part. Will our love-struck couple be able to find a way to be together. They say the way to love is never easy.

This anthology should be added to your TBR list or given as a gift for Christmas.

This Christmas anthology is just AMAZING, I can’t even decide which story I liked the most. While it is over 600 pages long I just simply couldn’t put it down. While I am a sucker for romance, I am even more of a sucker for a Christmas romance. These stories were all amazing and unique in their own individual ways that I couldn’t possibly pick which one is my favorite. So whether you love a good romance or your a Christmas nut like me, make sure you run out and grab this amazing anthology right away.

This is a brilliant collection of Christmas stories and is really one to get you in the festive spirit. I really enjoyed each and everyone of these stories and the different styles of the authors. They were all distinct and separate from the others with the only overlap being the theme and the romance. Each book was well written and there was some amazing characters across the board. Even when reading these books back to back they were easily to distinguish and easy to connect with.
I had read only a small amount by any of these authors so it was great to be introduced to some new ones. Each of them brought something to the anthology and it made it a great collection to read. I am looking forward to discovering more of their work in the future.

A Christmas to Remember is a wonderful Anthology From 5 Prince Publishing containing seven romantic holiday stories by some wonderfully talented authors.
These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing; and all the stories are each unique and individual to the author- but they each use the same theme, Christmas, and romance, as their inspiration.
I LOVE everything Christmas, and as all the stories in the anthology are set on and around Christmas, it makes this an even more captivating read, for me.

The Anthology contains:
-Mistletoe Memories By: Bernadette Marie
-A Rocky Mountain Romance By: Jessica Mehring
-Copper Penny Christmas By: Ann Swann
-Merry Mix-Ups By: Emily Bybee
-Falling For Christmas By: Amy L. Gale
-Christmas Pizzo By: Emersyn Kane
-The Mrs. Clause By: S.J. Reisner

All the stories are so engaging and believable- with wonderfully written plots, and well-developed characters. I have read books by several of these talented authors before- but a few of the authors were new to me, so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I know and love, but also be able to get an introduction to some authors who are new to me and see what they can do. I can see each of these stories making great holiday movies too.
So, settle down for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heart melting romance.
Happy Reading…

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

I love Christmas with a passion within my soul! So of course when I saw this anthology I knew I had to partake in it and read it! My heart felt so warm with the stories and the characters!

Each story has its own thing and has that warmth to your heart like a warm and soothing hot chocolate! Each one was different in their own special way, but yet, gave off a happy feeling at each conclusion! For me, Falling For Christmas was my favorite. I found it ideal based on my love for Christmas movies! Absolutely perfect collection of Christmas stories to get you into the holiday spirit!

A Christmas to Remember
By: 5 Prince Publishing

I love this anthology. It helped to get me in the Christmas Spirit early. I love that each one has such wonderful characters. I was drawn to this story because of one of the featured authors – Bernadette Marie. Her story definitely was everything I expected and more. I loved reading about Levi and Gretchen. Their story is wonderful. Their care for each other just jumps off the page. They may not be in love with one another but they definitely still love for each other.
The other stories are just as wonderful! Copper Penny might have been my favorite story otherwise. I loved Randi! Randi is possibly the most wonderful character I’ve read and I hope for only good things for her. This is one story I didn’t think was long enough.
. All the stories were equally enchanting. I cannot recommend this anthology to anyone. But especially those who love Hallmark Movies! These are by far and away all the plot to a Hallmark Christmas Movie!

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!
