What a great anthology written by three great authors. I love Romance, especially Romance set at Christmas time and this anthology didn't disappoint in any way.

The first story, Mistletoe Accomplished by Maggie Devine was definitely “devine”! This story had me hooked right away. Curtis and Lauren fought so well from the beginning it was bound to be interesting and there was the restaurant chef conflict that kept me as a reader guessing how things would turn out. Ms. Devine made her characters genuine and believable and this is a very well written story! Love it!


In the second story Redford Falls #1: Chocolate Kisses by Darlene Fredette, it couldn't have been any more sweet! Candy runs the family candy store and has promised a Santa appearance with no Santa? And then there's the small thing of needing a financial miracle to keep that business running. Perfect(or not so perfect) time for the love of her old life to re-appear without warning. I love this story because it is totally believable, starting with a wedding the groom doesn't remember being in to being roped in to playing Santa. Jackson Frost and Candace Cane stole my heart and this is absolutely a must read! Great great job Ms. Fredette, and I'll say it again, I love this story and I am excitedly looking forward to Redford Falls #2 coming December 2012.


Now for the third story, The Santa Drag by Liv Rancourt. The author did an awesome job with bringing these characters to life and what a totally original idea. Who would ever think, a woman in a Santa suit? Every mall or sidewalk Santa I’ve ever seen has always been a man but who ever said a woman can't do anything a man can do. This was truly a wonderfully written story! Kudos Liv Rancourt, I loved it !!


Please don't ask me to pick my favorite out of these three short stories because I just can't do it. They were all a bit different but great each in their own way! I would highly recommend this Christmas anthology even on the hottest day in the middle of summer !! ~ Krista Ames, Author
