Shelves: 2019, audible-owned

This set was so cute!! I read the books when they came out and I couldn't resist getting the audiobook to listen to them all over again. I'm a huge fan of Christmas and this town just sounds like a magical place where I want to live. I also want to be best friends to all three sisters, Holly, Ginger and Noel because they all sound like they would be so much fun. The guys these three fell for are just a bonus!

4 'Christmas at Reindeer Falls' Stars!

It seems I am very much in the mood for some Christmas stories lately! I thoroughly enjoy them when the mood strikes me and the three short stories in the Reindeer Falls Collection did not disappoint me. I loved the Winter sisters, they are so hilarious and unique. Each story was different, super funny and entertaining. I loved the heroes too and how swoony and sexy they were! I specially enjoyed the second book but I did really enjoy the whole collection. ...more

I’m not a fan of novellas, but these were super FUN to listen to and who doesn’t love Christmas theme books!

I think what I liked most about the series is that it’s about 3 sisters and the banter was really funny and sweet.

I also believe I enjoyed the book a lot more because I listened to them via audio and who doesn’t like to listen to Erin Mallon’s voice.

The Boss Who Stole Christmas

4 CROWNS

Very cute, light, fun holiday read. With a Christmas obsessed heroine and a seemingly grinch-esque boss, Jana Aston’s new holiday novella takes a sweet journey through romantic holiday.

Both characters are extremely likable, and the heroine has the Christmas jokes (even though a tad corny at times). This is a hit of steam when they finally connect, and the plot, while predictable was very entertaining.

The narrator is wonderful, and I enjoyed ...more

The very best part of this collection of three short stories is Erin Mallon's phenomenal narration. She does an AMAZING job narrating the first person narration of each sister who takes the lead in these stories. It was a delight to listen to her, and I think that she hit the mood of these stories perfectly. As for the stories themselves ... well, they weren't all that fantastic. The major issue with short romantic stories is that they are short. It's hard to write a romantic short story that The very best part of this collection of three short stories is Erin Mallon's phenomenal narration. She does an AMAZING job narrating the first person narration of each sister who takes the lead in these stories. It was a delight to listen to her, and I think that she hit the mood of these stories perfectly. As for the stories themselves ... well, they weren't all that fantastic. The major issue with short romantic stories is that they are short. It's hard to write a romantic short story that manages to tell a complete story arc where a couple can begin to fall in love without it seeming rushed or incomplete. In each of the three stories in The Reindeer Falls Collection Jana Aston attempts to get each couple from just meeting to Happily Ever After, all within a few short days. How can they do this so quickly? Well, it appears that the way to their hearts is entirely physical, because almost the entirety of the stories concentrates on the physical chemistry between the romantic leads. That's it. There is nothing that indicates the growth of an emotional attachment other than various proclamations about growing feelings. How could there be any growth? The entire story takes place over a couple of days during the Christmas season. Growing physical chemistry makes sense, but deep emotional attachment? Unlikely. So I guess I would say that if you are looking for stories about amazing physical chemistry found during the Christmas season, this might be the book for you. But if you want anything deeper, look elsewhere. The problem with these stories is that Jana Aston wants to have it all ... finding perfect HEAs for all her heroines at breakneck speed. It didn't work. The stories ended up feeling superficial and incomplete. But they were cute(ish). I think I felt the cuteness 100% because of Erin Mallon's narration.

As for the individual stories ... The Boss Who Stole Christmas was my least favorite of the bunch. There was a bit of an ick factor for me with this one because Nick is Holly's boss, and I felt too much of a sexual harassment vibe in this one ... probably because he comes onto her seemingly out of nowhere. There is no indication that there is any emotional connection between these characters. He seems to just want a business trip hook-up. Sure, she is all happy about it because he is oh so handsome, but I wasn't feeling it. It felt wrong to me.

I think I liked If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread the best of the three. I really liked the use of the television bake-off competition as the background for this one. The main issue with this was the speed of the attachment between the two leads. I could see why they were physically attracted to each other, but why the quick jump to love and leaving everything to be together? Why do this? At that speed it seems almost stalkerish? But it was a cute story.

The One Night Stand Before Christmas was also super cute, but if you stand back for a second and think about what happened ... well, ladies I would just advise against doing this in real life. Who just drags random Santas home to their house for a holiday romp? Who does this? It's just all sorts of potential tragedy. And then to find yourself maybe in love with the guy? WHY??????? What happened in the few pages of this story to warrant those sorts of feelings? Jana Aston couldn't pull it off with a short story. It might have worked in a full-length novel, but it didn't work here.

Like I say, the book was cute, mostly. But because the author was trying to pack EVERYTHING into a short story it ended up being superficial, hoping that the physical interactions could carry it all. It didn't work for me. Overall the book gets two stars for plot, but I'll add an extra for the great audio narration which kept me listening to the end. ...more

I was laughing so hard! I have to say before I go any further, this was my favorite of all the stories, and I was a little disappointed we didn't get as much with Holly in the other two stories, although it makes sense since they were all taking place pretty much over the same few weeks, and Holly was in Nuremberg with Nick for a week of that time.

I have to say I liked the name of the character in the second book, If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, the best, Ginger Spice. We got a tiny bit of a glimpse of this story in the first book. While this story I didn't love as much as the first one, this is the story that convinced me to reach out and purchase the anthology with all three stories from the author. You see, there are many different baked goods discussed in this story, I mean it is about a baking contest. And I wanted to have the recipes! When I reached out to the author about it, she said that I needed the actual written copy, because obviously they won't put recipes in an audiobook. Yeah, yeah, I could have just purchased the ebook, but no, I want a physical copy if I'm going to buy a book for recipes. The other thing I loved about Ginger, besides the yummy sounding baked goods, was her adorable way of cursing. I tend to do that a lot, not that I never use the actual bad words, but for the longest time I didn't, and I still don't feel right using that kind of language in front of people, I'm guessing it's my education career.

I also liked Noel's story, The One Night Stand Before Christmas, because she had some great quotes that totally are my kind of quotes. The being alone for a long time, being the oldest, etc. It was fun getting to hear a little bit about the other sisters, just like the second book, we got more of just Noel and Ginger, because as I mentioned, Holly was out of the country. The one night stand was perfect. Even though Noel wasn't quite sure about Teddy, I was pretty sure of who he was when she met him. But I didn't see the name thing the way it turned out. I also loved that the elderly lady Noel was trying to set up was kind of playing her. The limited edition coupon bit was hilarious!

Overall, all three books were hilarious, you can see even though I might not have given them all 5 stars, the other two were 4.5. ...more

Original Reviews

The Boss Who Stole Christmas:
The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston, the first of her three Christmas novellas in the Reindeer Falls series, is the perfect holiday treat! This story was naughty and nice and everything in between and I loved it!

Holly Winter has lived in Reindeer Fall her entire life and has no plans to leave. She loves working at local toy company and celebrates everything Christmas related. Then her boss retires and his nephew takes over. His very sexy nephew with the permanent scowl. There is no way she is attracted to him in any way. Nope. None. But when they head on a business trip to the most Christmas place on earth, will they see each other in a different light?

I love anything Jana writes. This woman does romcom likes nobodies business and she just keeps getting better and better. Holly and Nick had me laughing, swooning and fanning myself. Holly is fun, quirky and sweet. Though Nick is all business at work, what is hiding under all that perfection? He may just surprise Holly! This story was sweet, charming and steamy and just what Santa ordered! A must-read for sure!

If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread:
I am absolutely loving the Reindeer Falls series by Jana Aston. In the second installment, If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread, we get Ginger and Keller’s story and I loved it! Ginger has been dreaming of opening her own bakery in Reindeer Falls for years. Now is her big chance, with the reality show the Great Gingerbread Bake Off happening in her own hometown. But she never expected Keller, a chef with his own reality show, to distract her to no end.

I loved the chemistry between Keller and Holly. It was instant and undeniable. I loved Holly. She was sweet and adorable. Keller was charming, sexy and caring. They fall quickly and it all the best ways possible, but what will happen once the bake-off is over and he leaves? If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread was yet again, a perfect holiday read! Sweet, charming and everything nice!

The One Night Stand Before Christmas:
I have absolutely loved reading the Reindeer Falls series by Jana Aston. They were the perfect holiday reads and I cannot recommend them enough! They are definitely must-reads this holiday season! In The One Night Stand Before Christmas I could not stop laughing. The book just left me feeling happy and wanting more. The Winter sisters and their beaus were the absolute best!

Noel is just going about her business when the man who was supposed to be Santa for the night at the center she worked at changes everything. Next thing she knows she is having the best one night stand of her life. But what if she does not want it to end after only one night? I loved Noel. She was quirky, fun and full of sass. Our Santa was sexy, charming and all kinds of handsome.

Happy listening! ...more

The relationship between sisters Noel, Holly, and Ginger is a ton of fun and quite possibly my favorite thing about this collection; while they constantly tease each other, it is clear how much they love and support one another.

Book #1, "The Boss Who Stole Christmas," features middle sister Holly and Nick, her new boss at the toy company where she is employed. This story is a great combination of enemies-to-lovers, office romance, and road trip romance as Holly and Nick head off on a business trip to Nuremberg, Germany. Holly is delightfully cute and quirky, very passionate about her job and life in Reindeer Falls. Nick is a bit more mysterious than Holly, but family is clearly very important to him, as evidenced by the way he dotes on his toddler niece. There's definitely more to him than his Grinch-like demeanor at work would suggest, as Holly finds out when they travel to Germany together.

Book #2, "If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread," is the story of youngest sister Ginger and Keller, a celebrity chef visiting Reindeer Falls to compete in a holiday baking competition sponsored by the Food Network. Ginger, who was also a contestant in the baking competition, was just as cute and fun as her sister Holly, and I particularly loved the hilarious, old-fashioned phrases she used in place of swearing. Keller was super sweet, and even though he was supposed to be competing against Ginger, he made his romantic interest in her clear from the start. I'm not sure he ever really cared about winning the competition, especially after he met Ginger. In any event, the two of them were totally perfect for each other, and I think their story was my favorite of the three novellas.

Finally, in book #3, oldest sister Noel has a one-night stand with a man she thinks is the brother of a co-worker, but who turns out to be a mysterious stranger who stepped in to play Santa when the real actor failed to show up at a community event Noel hosted on her co-worker's behalf. Hilarity ensues as Noel tries to track down the mysterious Teddy, only to find him in the last place she ever expected.

I loved all three of these novellas and highly recommend them for all romantic comedy fans. I wouldn't mind it if Ms. Aston decided to revisit Reindeer Falls in the future, either. It was such a charming place, and reminded me of the setting of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Maybe there's more fun (and romance) to be found there!
