I used to enjoy Ms. Macomber quite a bit. She still writes just fine as far as a clean and simple world building. What I'm not enjoying anymore and it could be my changing tastes, are her characters. The conflict for her characters seem to be miscommunications. The petty games people play when they are in a "huff". The characters are what I classify as juvenile and depressingly immature. It reminds me of the show, "Threes Company". All these "bad" things happen and are blown out of proportion be...more
This was a collection of two Christmas romances. The first one was about Noelle and Thom who were high school sweethearts but through a misunderstanding believed that each had chosen their family over their relationship. Ten years later, Noelle returns to her home for her sister's wedding preparations and meets upp with Thom again and the sparks fly immediately in many different ways.
The second story is about Jenna, who is 31 and has determined that her life is boring and she is getting nowhere...more

I love Debbie's books. She writes heartwarming stories with down-to-earth characters. This book was composed of two stories. The first was The Christmas Basket and was about two women who had been best friends but had become enemies. They really missed their friendship but were not sure how to go about repairing their friendship. The second was The Snow Bride and was about a young woman leaving her job and family and taking off for Alaska and a man she had met in a chat room. When he failed to m...more
the two stories were short. I liked the plot line of the story, stories of love misunderstanding, and meeting people who you first don't get along with but fall in love with later does not bore me, but because of the compact-ness of the two stories I feel like the ending was rushed , the getting to fall in love with each other was rushed and things were explained quickly, and it all just followed some sort of happy ending formula. this applies more to the second story, and semi to the ending of...more
First let me say that I love Debbie's books, but this book just did not do it for me. The first story The Christmas basket was about high school sweethearts that are no longer high school sweet hearts because he jilted her at the alter. But come to find out she jilted him, or so he thinks for all these years. On top of that their mothers HATE each other. The story is cute and an easy read. I don't know maybe having a migraine is what turned me off

Dreadful.
This book actually contains two stories that were originally published individually as gift hardbacks - The Christmas Basket and The Snow Bride.
***The Christmas Basket***
There has been a feud between the matriarchs of the McDowell and Sutton families for years, one that was made worse when Noelle McDowell and Thomas Sutton planned to elope ten years ago - before Thomas jilted her. Noelle has avoided returning to Rose, Oregon since then but now her younger sister is getting married she is retur...more

This book consists of two small stories, the first is The Christmas Basket. It was a fun read about 2 families thrown back together after years of fueding.
The second is The Snow Bride. A cute story about a young girl looking for a companion in a poetry chat room. She ends up falling for an Alaskian looking for a new adventure. She finds it there and lots more. I really liked this one, it had romantic twists that were fun. Both short stories were great to read during the 2010 Blizzard. LOL

this was the first and last book of debbie macomber i read.really i got kicked up after reading such a book.on my friend's recommendation i thought this would be nice but it was a disaster.both the stories were not upto the mark.i thought that this would be of romance but i couldnt see a hint of romance the first story.second one was better i could say but after this i didnt even wanted to see her books.
This book was a nice fluffy interlude from the Swedish crime novel I've been trying to get through. I really enjoyed Debbie Macomber's sweet stories; however since they were packaged as Christmas stories, I was expected a little bit more of a Christmas theme. The first story was definitely centered around Christmas, but the second wasn't at all really. Other than that, it was still a nice lite read.
I like Debbie Macomber books and this one is an old one written in part in 2002. It was not exciting, but Christmasy and since I am trying to just read Christmas things right now, it fit in o.k.
There are 2 stories in there and I did like the 2nd one much the best. I think I can say both were a little far out. Nothing I would recommend.

A very relaxing read. I enjoyed the upbeat nature of these two quick romance stories set around Christmas. The fued between two friends lasting twenty years seemed rediculous, but somehow I bought it. I loved going along for the flight to isolated Alaska to find love. A nice break from reality.
Out of the two books, I liked "The Christmas Basket" better than "The Snow Bride." Both are okay stories, but other than a few Christmas references, they didn't seem like Christmas books. Also, the plots didn't seem overly realistic, and the endings were predictable. Overall, just ok. I'd suggest Macomber's newer books over this one.
Couldn't muster up the interest to read the first story...The Snow Bride was decent but there weren't many surprises and near the end the dialogue got repetitive. "I can't leave without my mother. I have to take care of my mother!" Ok, whatever.
For people who like contrived plots and unmemorable, cliche, irritating characters then Macomber's romance novels are the way to go. For the rest of us, skip them and save some time.

This was my first D. Macomber book. It was 2 books in one. I fell in love with the author. I loved the Christmas Basket, the Christmas bride was pretty good. both quik easy reads
Two great stories by Debby Macomber ... The Christmas Basket and The Snow Bride. If you want to read something light and humorous, then these are for you.
This was a book with two novellas in it, and I loved it! I think a liked the firs story best because all the characters were funny & could easily be a part of my family:)
Two good stories but I liked the Snow Bride best. Some great characters all in a small Alaskan town cut off from the rest of the world by snow.
I enjoyed both of the stories in these books, actually, despite some annoying character flaws. A quick, fun read.
This is two books in one. It was a fun read during Christmas break. You can't go wrong with Debbie Macomber.
Two of Debbie Macomber's shorter Christmas novels in one book. Both lighthearted, easy reads with enjoyable Christmas, romance themes.
I love this author! Easy read with great plots. Love always conquers.
Another Debbie Macomber easy read, especially during the holidays. I gave it three stars because it was predictable.
2.5 stars. Kind of silly but in a warm, Debbie Macomber way...
Two fun stories. A must read for the holidays.
again a cute quick love story.
Typical romance. I enjoyed it.
Two stories in one book...it was cute and funny. Would have given 3.5 stars.
