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!

4.3/5 Stars This was such a good way for multiple cute stories to collide! I really enjoyed the different stories and the way they were written. Each story was written differently, but so well. Each seemed like a hallmark story on the pages.

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 well written collection of delightful, Christmas romance stories. I enjoyed being able to read different author’s works in one book. Each story flowed wonderfully. I would read other stories by any of these authors. If you love Christmas and romance, this book is a must have. Review by @mimimadge

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.

I am a sucker for the sweet Christmas romance! These stories did not disappoint! There are seven sweetly romantic stories by seven different authors. All of the stories are well written and give you the warm fuzzy feeling that’s great this time of year. I really live the characters in all of the books but I have to say Hank is my favorite. The stories are perfectly sweet just like Hallmark Christmas movies and are sure to get you in the holiday spirit. This is a great anthology with some really great authors! I will definitely be looking for more books from each of them!

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…

I love Christmas. I love a HEA. I love dogs and cats. What could be better than an anthology that combines all three? Nothing. The stories are fun and heartwarming, challenging and thought provoking, and they all paint the pictures of the season so well. These stories are quick enough to read again and again. I love that the stories are compiled like this, and each story is better than the one before. It is the perfect way to get in the mood for the holidays.

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!
I cannot say enough good things about this anthology! Each other wrote a story that knew how to capture your heart, soul and mind! I really enjoyed the stories! I definitely highly recommend this must read collection!

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!

An anthology of ten stories that will melt your “grinchy” heart and have you loving Christmas. We have second chance stories such as Mistletoe Memories. This story will bake you a new love for Christmas and teach you to not assume everything. My favorite story in the book, Gretchen is strong and went through an inner struggle to come to terms with how to handle her ex-fiance. A Rocky Mountain Romance is another favorite that will have you shedding happy tears like you are watching Hallmark Movies. Beautiful writing, amazing characters and a lovely Colorado setting. It is one of my favorites because I grew up near Aspen so I love playing detective with details trying to tell if she used any local area near there to base the town on. These stories are well-written, bring that Christmas spirit as we head into the season. The characters will have you smiling and chuckling. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, a lap blanket and curl up and start reading. So many lovely stories to choose from.

Only a Christmas miracle could make them work together again.
Gretchen and Levi were good together once, romantically and professionally. But competition isn’t always good for the soul.
Now, years later, Gretchen is determined to beat Levi in the holiday baking competition that will put her in front of a global audience.
But when a rival bakery tries to sabotage the competition, Gretchen and Levi will have to work together to salvage their creations, and their reputations–and maybe their past.
They made a deal, but falling in love was never part of the bargain.
Natalie Watkins, owner of Watkins Tree Farm, the premiere Christmas tree farm in Evergreen Falls, finds her farm as well as half the town’s businesses in jeopardy when big-city businessman, Gabriel Carter, buys the savings and loan. With the residents of Evergreen Falls angered and threating to take their business elsewhere, Gabriel makes a deal with Natalie to help him win over the townspeople and in exchange help her grow business for her tree farm. While attending Evergreen Fall’s holiday events together, they both get more than they bargained for when unexpected feelings emerge. Will Gabriel fall for the charm of Evergreen Falls or will Natalie and Gabriel fall for each other?
Randi thought she would get a big, fat ring for Christmas, instead she got a big, fat surprise. Who knew her beau of three years had decided to sample the wares of the cupcake cutie in the BabyCakes shop down the road? Now he wants to reconcile, but a new friend at the vet clinic where Randi works may have other plans for the holiday. Maybe it will be a Copper Penny Christmas instead.
It’s going to take a Christmas miracle for Abby to escape the Mrs. Clause.
I’m Abby Preston and I’m in need of a few elves.
At thirty-four, I’m trying to start my own business, fend off my parents’ attempt at matchmaking, and avoid a relentless old flame who thinks we can pick up where we left off after he cheated on me. All the while, the clause in my grandfather’s will, that I need to be married or at least engaged by my thirty-fifth Christmas to claim my inheritance, looms over me. That money could really help my new business.
Just when my ex is starting to look like an option again, Gary has to walk into my life and make things complicated. He’s funny, attentive, attractive, and generous, and so poor that my family would never accept him. So, of course, I fall for him immediately. When he asks me to help him out by being his Mrs. Claus at a local children’s hospital where he plays Santa Claus every year, of course I say yes. But my thirty-fifth Christmas is only twenty days away, my ex, Luke, is the jealous type, my parents love to meddle, and I’m pretty sure my inheritance is toast.
Once a popular jewelry designer in Manhattan, Amity Green is now picking up the pieces of her broken life in a small Rocky Mountain town. All she wants is to figure out the next right step to reviving her career, and to not be a burden to her very pregnant sister who is kindly letting Amity stay in her home. The last thing Amity needs is to get involved with a local—but Hank Drummond is proving to be a hard man to resist. Hank loves living in the small mountain town, and Amity is looking for her ticket out. It would take a Christmas miracle to hold them together.
Max would do anything for his best friend, Brad. Anything except date a kleptomaniac. His grandparents raised him with a firm set of morals and rules. But Brad’s fiancée insists on the double date.
Cassi is freshly moved back to Denver after a bad break-up. She’s hesitant about her first date in a year, especially a blind date, but her best friend, Becca, pushes until she agrees.
Half way through a colossal flop of a double date, Max has no interest in seeing Cassi again, and vice versa. But in a twist of fate, Becca and Brad announce they’ve moved up their wedding to Christmas Eve. Three weeks away. As the best man and the maid of honor, Max and Cassi are stuck together wedding planning. Cassi is funny, kind, and—much as Max doesn’t want to admit it—beautiful. Problem is, he can’t forget the stories about Cassi’s days in college as an unchecked kleptomaniac.
Cassi tries to make the best of the situation. Much as she tries to connect with the handsome man she’s forced to work with, nothing she says seems to be right. One minute they’re having great conversation and the next he’s a complete ass.
Then it hits her. He has to know about her past. The single night that drove her out of the state and still haunts her. With the wedding looming and a lonely Christmas on the horizon, emotions are high. And emotions don’t always follow the rules.
The Christmas Pizzo was due, but their hearts had something else in mind.
Val-
I always wanted Sal but knew that Mama and Papa would never allow it, especially since they had gotten so involved in the Adiopizzo movement. It was my job to simply pay the pizzo and keep the Baldinotti’s happy. Not even the magic of Christmas could change their minds.
Sal-
Val was the only girl that ever made me feel comfortable with who I was. But I knew that Papa would never approve. My only business with her was to collect the pizzo. Somehow, I ended up collecting her heart instead.

A Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard is a sweet, light-hearted, and captivating Christmas romance. This is my first read by Ms. Richard, so I really didn’t know what to expect from her work. But my love of Christmas romance ensured that I was soon one-clicking a copy for myself to explore. I love this time of year when all the great Christmas stories start showing up on my recommended book lists and I can indulge more in this category. But believe me when I say that Christmas stories don’t have to be limited to just the season- they can be enjoyed all year round. This story was such a fun read. I loved the addition of the bakery and the meet-cute element. Thea and Ben are really wonderfully crafted characters, they were so easy to like and invest in. I was so immersed in the story that time flew past and before I knew it I had reached the end- with a big smile on my face…. This may be my first read from Ms. Richard, but after this, it certainly won’t be my last.
