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!

All I Want for Christmas
By Vivian Fiano
5 out of 5 stars

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.

FIVE STARS
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.

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

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.

 All I Want for Christmas by Vivian Fiano
Genre – Christmas Romance, Military Romance, Short Story
Page Count – 61 pages
Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, laughter, friendships, and family.
Kinsley
All she wants for Christmas is the man she loves by her side. She has waited months for Brysen’s tour to be over and in two short weeks she’ll get her wish, or so she thought…
She is brewing with anticipation as she awaits the call to plan his arrival, but when the call finally comes, it doesn’t go according to plan and instead of excitement and joy, she’s left feeling sad and lonely.
Brysen
He has a plan unfortunately, he’s just broken his girl’s heart and now he has a mission to fly. As a chopper pilot, he’s flown many dangerous missions, but this personal mission may be his most dangerous yet. Hopefully, it’s worth the risk…
Check out Kinsley and Brysen’s short story to see if it has a happy Christmas ending.
