Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology by Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, Cj Petterson, E. A. Hale, J D Boudreaux, Jolie St. Amant
Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology was a great 5 star read. This is a great compilation of five short stories from six different authors. All of these authors were new to me and I can’t wait to read more from them. All of their stories pulled me right in. They range from historical to present time and paranormal.

There are some moments that brought tears to my eyes and others that made my heart smile and LOL. All of the stories are of course based around Christmas. There are so many great characters, main and secondary. And I loved Versace. If you’re looking for a great holiday read with great stories I highly suggest you 1-click and get started today. Another great thing about this book is that part of the proceeds are donated to the Cajun Navy Relief fund.
Such a wonderful compilation of stories. Each contained a wonderful hero or heroine for the reader to fall in love with. My absolute favorite story in this anthology was When Time Stood Still. I really felt the whole book was a great holiday read. The characters were amazing and the storyline in each short tale was easy to follow.

Hale, J D Boudreaux, Jolie St. Amant – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor
Hometown Heroes is a Christmas anthology comprising of five stories, which included:
Courtship and Courage by Carrie Dalby – A dramatic story set in the summer of 1898. Claire O’Farrell guards her heart but is no match for Joe Walker. This story was edgy and well written. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
When Time Stood Still by Chelsi Arnold and JD Boudreaux – A story starring Jacqueline and Nick. They get on each others nerves, spit fire at each other regularly, and provide a reader with endless action, activity, love and endurance. A fantastic and dramatic tale that was difficult to put down. A cleverly spun story worthy of 5 stars.
Hobbes House Noel by CJ Peterson – Merrill becomes a heroine after saving a stranger’s child. Christmas takes on a whole new meaning for her and she realises that sometimes what you are looking for comes to you in the oddest way, at the most unexpected time. A moving story that stays in your mind long after finishing.
Talking in Code: A Christmas Homecoming by EA Hale – Another story set in years gone by. Evelyn is a suffragette who is fired from her job in an ammunition factory, so a war veteran can take her position. Evelyn becomes entranced by James, until she realises who he is. Explosive emotions, courageous acts, defiance and love all go hand in hand to make up an adrenalin spiking and dramatic story that will never get old.
Safe Haven by Jolie St. Amant – Haven struggles to let go, and after her fiance was brutally taken from her, she has to deal with heartbreak, devastation and loneliness. She meets a dashing musician, Chance, and there unfolds a beautiful story of second chance love. An emotionally charged story that will lea vge a readers heart full.
This anthology celebrates all our heroes and heroines, whether famous or humble in their splendor. This collection of stories points out that a hero comes in all shapes and sizes, and the strength and courage of the human spirit is awe inspiring and never to be underestimated. All the authors are unique in their own right, but together they deliver some of the best christmas reading you will ever find. 5 stars.
