All I Want for Christmas: Military Romance Short Story by Vivian Fiano

What a sweet story.  You could feel and sadness from both Kinsley and Bryson.  Kinsley is crushed by the call she gets as she should be, but I could understand why she was feeling some guilt too after they hung up.

I really admire our military service men and women who have to spend long periods of time away from the family, but the spouses, significant others, parents,  kids, etc. are just amazing and I have no clue how they get through all that time apart.

If you find yourself with about an hour with nothing to do, try this sweet story.

Brysen is a pilot and has found himself in some seriously dangerous situations but this one may be the most dangerous one of all . Find out what happens next in this must read.

I’ve always enjoyed a good military romance and I am a sucker for anything Christmas so this story was an immediate interest. I love that All I Want For Christmas by Vivian Fiano was a short story that I could enjoy it all at once! Lucky for me it had been snowing the weekend I chose to enjoy it, great for setting the tone.
This was the first I have read by Vivian Fiano and I would definitely be interested in reading more by this author. While I liked the plot and the story overall, I was not a huge fan of Kinsley. I am curious if the story had been longer, if she would become a character I would grow to love. All I Want for Christmas really did deliver overall, a short but sweet holiday romance. I would give it 4 stars and most definitely recommend.

If you’re looking for a quick, sweet, tear-jerker holiday read, this one is it! All I Want For Christmas by Vivian Fiano was a great read! I was in tears halfway through reading this novella. If I hadn’t of been around my parents, I would have been bawling! This short but super sweet story is also 18+, as it does get a bit steamy at the end. This story definitely has all the elements of a good book. This is the first I’ve read from this author, and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

This is the first book I have read from this author and I’m so glad I read this book. I love a good Christmas book but this author exceeded all my expectations. This is a cute Christmas novela that will get you into the Christmas spirit and make you grateful for what you have.

Kinsley only wants one thing for Christmas and that’s to get her boyfriend to come home to her. She has waited for months for Brysen to come home from his tour. Kinsley gets a call saying that he has one more thing to do and he will not be home this year again. She is so upset but miracles do happen. Will Kinsley get her wish or will she be alone again on Christmas?

All I Want for Christmas: Military Romance Short Story by Vivian Fiano

My first read by Fiano and I can say it won’t be my last. This short story had me all in my feelings. It’s short, sweet, and romantic. What more could you ask for in a book?

Kinsley is an Army girlfriend and is worried about her Man overseas. Christmas is around the corner and she just got the news that he’s not coming home. Devastated by the events her friend cheers her up. A Christmas party with the Army Wives changes her mood quickly. The quote I chose for Kinsley is: “How did you manage to make it home?”

Brysen is an Army pilot and broke his girlfriend’s heart and now he feels bad. When he makes it back to base he thinks of a way to make it up to her. The quote I chose for Brysen is: “It took a lot of help. I went to my commander and explained that I wanted to do something fun and different when I proposed to you. Together my crew came up with this idea, and they all agreed to make sure their significant others were in on it so no one would ruin the surprise.”

Highly recommended for Military Romance lovers.

All I Want for Christmas was a sweet fast read. The book is about 50 pages and you can read it in one sitting. The author gave her readers something sweet to make their hearts happy just in time for Christmas.

Kinsley loves her boyfriend so much and can’t wait to see him. Unfortunately, he’s a chopper pilot deployed in Afghanistan and she finds out he’s not going to make it home for Christmas. She is inconsolable but her best friend who also has a boyfriend that is deployed with Brysen tries to cheer her up and makes her come
Over for a party. What Kinsley sees when she gets there is more then she could have ever imagined.

Oh this was such a perfect holiday time read! I am new to Vivian Fiano but this was a wonderful way to get to know her writing style, and I fell in love with it. I loved the way she made this story become so real to me. I felt as if I was right there with the characters as they experienced things first hand. This was such a fun but compact read, that it filled my Sunday evening with some much needed holiday spirit as I unwound from a long and tedious week. Kinsley and Brysen encounter several obstacles in their relationship that will prove their strength and love and the way it will stand the test of time. I look forward to seeing what else is available from Vivian Fiano in the very very near future!

5 Stars!

I love a holiday themed read. This short story is worth the read, it is sweet, heartbreaking and will get you right into the Christmas spirit. It was heartbreaking to see the emotions Kinsley was going through knowing Brysen would not be back for Christmas. I really enjoyed how Brysen’s best friend and Kinsley’s friend Dina are also in a relationship and form this little quad of friends. It is nice that Kinsley had Dina, someone who can relate to what she is going through to help her through it all. I love that this book gives a glimpse of what anyone in a military relationship could go through, even though this probably only touches the surface of what they would endure being apart. I highly recommend this sweet book!

This was a really sweet and short read. I really liked the story; the characters were nice and relatable. I actually thought I had predicted what was going to happen in the story so I was pleasantly surprised when I was proved wrong. I think because the story was so short I didn’t really connect with the characters like I would in a longer story but that didn’t make me enjoy the story any less. I really liked the authors writing style so I would I definitely love to read more from her again in the future.

This holiday novella has all of the feels. I have a soft spot for military romances and this short story felt much bigger than its page count. The characters were heart felt and well written and the story didn’t feel contrived or forced. I loved this story. It is the perfect addition to my holiday reading list.

All I Want for Christmas: Military Romance Short Story by Vivian Fiano. If you’re looking for something short and sweet I highly recommend this short story. From page one I was drawn in and only sad I had to leave the characters when I did. Even with this being a short story I didn’t feel it was hindered in any way and I think this author did a wonderful job with this short story. And I just love a Christmas love story they just shot straight to my heart and this characters definitely pulled at my heartstrings from start to finish. I also have a soft spot for a military romance and I loved every minute spent in the pages of this short story. I’d definitely like to see what more this author has to give readers. Five stars for this story. Highly recommended.

All I Want For Christmas: Military Romance Short Story by Vivian Fiano is a great contemporary military romance. The story is quite a short, quick and easy read- but even though it is quite short, it isn’t lacking in any way- it’s well written with depth and interesting characters who are really well crafted and likeable. I thought the story was very enjoyable.
The characters really make this story, and it definitely wouldn’t have been the same without them. Kinsley and Brysen were great- I found myself rooting for them the whole way through the story- and even though there were a few angsty moments with a little drama and emotion- the story ended leaving me feeling good about the outcome.
If you love contemporary military romance- and love a quick and easy read- then this is definitely the book for you.

Thank you, Vivian Fiano!

I loved reading the book All I Want for Christmas by Vivian Fiano. It is a short story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I loved the plot/storyline and also the characters. The book touched my heart and made me believe in true love and the power of the Christmas season. The author does an amazing job of making a story that may be a bit shorter than other books however it still is a powerful read. I grew to care about the characters with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. Don’t miss out on an exciting, romantic, and entertaining book. I highly recommend reading it.

5 Stars

I almost gave this short story 4 stars but after thinking about it, the only reason I would have done that was because just as I was settled in and wanting to read more, the book ended. Well, I knew it was a short story going in and I normally love that but in this case I wasn’t as fond of it because I was completely enjoying every word and how this author wrote every word, which led me to the 5 stars. This is my first book by this author and if this one is anything to go by then I will be reading many many more.

Really hard to sum up this book without giving anything away, but I can say I felt every emotion I was supposed to feel while reading Kinsley’s story. There were tears during one part and it was so awesome. It was a great Christmas read and really felt like I was lost when it was done. I was imagining so many things for her and Brysen, but will take what I was given and use my imagination on the rest.

Really loved it!

All I Want For Christmas: Military Romance Shirt Story by Vivian Fiano is a sweet holiday romance that will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit. It is a short, quick story that is great for just getting lost in for a few hours as you read about these characters and their highs and lows. This is a nice easy book to read and for me was a great introduction to this author. It has an easy flow to the writing style and, although short, it was well developed and had a great narrative flow about it. I thought the characters were easy to connect with and I found myself wanting them to get their happily ever after. This was an enjoyable story and a great way to spend a lazy afternoon.

Kinsley is fairly new as a military girlfriend. Brysen, her boyfriend has been on active duty for six months now and all she wants for Christmas is to be with him. This story is accurate and will totally tug at your heart strings. Can everyone help her through the tough times? Totally a Hallmark story.

This was a wonderful holiday read. I loved that even though this is a short story it is full of emotion. This is Kinsley and Brysen’s story, Kinsley has been waiting for her boyfriend to come home and just when she thinks her wait is almost over things change. Brysen is going to be gone longer than expected, these things sometimes happen when you’re in the military. This book definitely gives you a glimpse into what it’s like and the feelings that go along with being with someone in the military. You need to read this book to find out what happens. This is the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. I highly recommend this book.

‘All I Want for Christmas’ is a short military romance with plenty of Christmas spirit. This is Kinsley and Brysen’s story, and Brysen is in the military and is away on a tour when he rings Kinsley to tell her the bad news that he won’t be home for Christmas as planned. A distraught Kinsley tries to plaster on a fake smile as her best friend Dina makes her attend a Christmas Eve party for the wives and girlfriends of the men away. No spoilers but Kinsley does have a nice festive surprise at the party which puts a real smile on her face. This story may be short but it’s full of emotion and drama. The author really made the characters come alive and I fell in love with Kinsley and Brysen and enjoyed reading the story from both their point of views. I also loved best friend Dina and would love to read her story. The storyline flowed well and the narrative was a nice mix of drama and lighthearted moments. I found this story to be an enjoyable and engaging festive romance with a “happy Christmas ending”.

I enjoyed this Christmas story. This is a sweet, heartwarming Christmas story that is written with a lot of heart and soul. This is my first book by this author and look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well developed story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. The characters brought the story to life as they go through these emotions. I had no problems connecting with them. They pulled in me right from the beginning. This is Kinsley and Brysen’s story. Kinsley has been waiting a long time for Brysen to come home. She thought she just needed to wait a little longer until she got a phone call that would change things. Brysen is a pilot that has flown in some dangerous situations but this last one may be the most dangerous of all. What will happen next with them is for you to find out. This is a shorter story that I read in one sitting but it is that enjoyable. This was a great Christmas story that reminds you of the spirit of Christmas. I highly recommend this book.
