Everything in his life is planned. How’d she get on his agenda?
Quint Fairchild, head of Fairchild Films, learned long ago that in Hollywood everything’s make-believe, including love. So why can’t he resist the small-town innocence of struggling scriptwriter Chrystelle Bach? She’s entirely too fascinating, but he can convince himself he doesn’t want her⸻he wants her script.
Chrystelle wishes she could spend Christmas with her beloved grandmother in her Colorado hometown. Then Quint offers her a contract to produce her TV series. She almost believes this is the best Christmas ever⸻until she reads the contract. He doesn’t just want rewrites, he wants her to change everything.
The battle begins, but when Chrystelle’s grandmother takes ill, Chrystelle knows where she belongs and hops the next bus home. What she hadn’t expected was Quint on her front porch, and not to wish her a Merry Christmas. He wants her script⸻on his terms, of course.
Their conflict continues, but the more time Chrystelle spends with this stubborn billionaire, the harder it is for her to remember why she can’t change her script. But sprinkle this battle with grandmotherly wisdom and holiday charm, and the season of blessings reveals love in more ways than Chrystelle and Quint ever imagined.
The Billionaire's Christmas Wish: His life just got complicated.
River Jackson’s riding high as the Denver Flyer’s starting quarterback, until an injury sidelines him. When Coach needs a volunteer to deliver donated football uniforms to the learning center in The Grid, River’s glad to go. What he hadn’t expected was the tiny woman with sparkling dark eyes and dreams bigger than the old schoolhouse she’s renting. He has no intention of falling for her, especially with his career on the ropes.
After a disaster turns Soledad Marcos’ life upside down, she’s glad the learning center has given her and her daughter a stable life. She buries the secrets of her dark past and looks forward to the future⸻a future that doesn’t include a dashing football player and his desire to help. Her students love River so she’s forced to ignore the unease that has held her back for years.
As Soledad draws closer to River, she learns his tough exterior masks a compassionate and tender soul she’ll resist at all costs, but turning her back on love means a bigger sacrifice that could cost more than a broken heart.
The Billionaire's Christmas Contract:
The best gifts aren’t always under the Christmas tree.

Until billionaire Bryg Winslow blows into town with promises to revitalize the aging farming community, something that even captures Leah’s parents’ attention.
Change the town where Leah grew up? She can’t bear the thought of this golden boy’s guarantees altering her safe haven.

The Christmas Billionaires by Laura Haley-McNeil Boxed Set Books 1-3 Check what's under your tree this Christmas!

But sprinkle this battle with grandmotherly wisdom and holiday charm, and the season of blessings reveals love in more ways than Chrystelle and Quint ever imagined. This is Chrystelle Bach and Quint Fairchild's story. At six o’clock in the morning, Chrystelle Bach guided the limousine down the Beverly Hills street lined with towering palm trees. For the two and a half years she’d lived in Hollywood, she’d never get used to palm trees decorated with Christmas lights. Christmas. She’d spent the last two Christmases away from home, away from Gwilliam Park, Colorado. Away from family and friends preparing for the holiday that warmed her heart. Quint Fairchild burst through the studded entrance doors. His powerful build was covered in a button-down shirt and tailored slacks, and his square jaw was chiseled enough to cut glass. He fastened his cuffs as he drummed down the granite steps. Racing after him was a thin man in a gray suit juggling portfolios, a briefcase and a laptop sleeve. Chrystelle froze and stared at the man charging toward her. The one time she saw Quint Fairchild had been at a distance. I recommend reading.

This is Soledad Marcos and daughter and River Jackson's story. Mrs. Marcos wanted a well-rounded curriculum that included physical activities and had emailed Denver teams asking if they could donate used sports equipment. “Soledad Marcos.” She opened the door wider and extended her hand. “Your football team’s office called and said you would be here today. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jackson.” Soledad bent an ear to the child, who spoke softly in Spanish. “My daughter reminds me that she is anxious to meet you,” Soledad said with a grin. River Jackson stood on the sidewalk and stared at the old Denver schoolhouse. The three story building with its darkened windows looked like a multi-eyed creature staring back at him. A string of Christmas lights framed the entrance doors. Someone had attempted to bring this relic some holiday spirit. I recommend reading.

On this Friday after Thanksgiving Day, she gripped the steering wheel and took a deep breath. She wouldn’t let her broken engagement spoil the holiday celebrations. Water sprayed back into the van, over the curb and against a powerfully built man striding down the sidewalk, a cell phone pressed to his ear. The man froze, his gaze dropping to the pants and tweed jacket now dripping with muddy water. “It’s fine.” The corner of his mouth curved. “I’m sorry, I don’t know your name.” The man’s surprised look turned to amusement. “Bryg Winslow.” I highly recommend reading.

Must read! Loved them! With selfless sacrifices and misunderstandings, but all turns happy with a little Christmas magic, when down - to - earth gorgeous men come to the rescue!
Thanks to the author for providing this book for my review!
The Billionaire’s Christmas Gift I loved how strong Chrystelle was and stuck to her beliefs and didn’t let money rule her. I can’t imagine being from a small, old fashion town near Aspen and going to Hollywood to try and sell her script about her strong great-great grandmother. I was so glad she had to pick Quint up as one of her limousine fairs so she was able to give him her script. Even though he liked the script, he wanted to change a few things that Chrystelle would not change and left his office. It was so heartwarming to see Quint in her small town and the amazement he felt visiting her family and the two . This was a heartwarming book that I encourage you to read. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
The Billionaire’s Christmas Wish I loved this book! What a heartwarming Christmas story to make you feel good. I know that professional sports always look out for their team to win and make money. I just wish that sometimes teams put more energy into their players happiness. Even though it was hard on River to not be playing for Denver while his shoulder healed, I was glad it took him to Soledad’s non profit after school. You could just feel the emotions in River when he first met Soledad and her beautiful young daughter. Helping the school made him forget his pain of not playing and made him happy. Soledad was the most thoughtful, caring, loving woman. I loved being a part of her and River’s journey to find each other. There were obstacles in the way that the two had to work through. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
The Billionaire’s Christmas Contract I felt so bad for Leah when she walked into her fiancé’s office and he was fooling around with his assistant. Leah was on break from her professor job back in Massachusetts so she went back to her parent’s ranch in Colorado. Her parents were remarkable people as they raised foster boys. Leah and her brother had been foster children, but her parents had adopted them. It was funny how Leah met Bryg, and then how she saw him again that morning. Bryg was a billionaire and was in town to talk the ranchers to sell their property to him. I loved the rapport he had with the four foster boys Leah’s parents had at their farm. He had a good reason why they all got along. Leah was so torn about the development and losing her family farm. I enjoyed the book and encourage you to read it. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
Fantastic box set of 3 stand alone books, stories by a favorite author, Laura. Each of these romance stories are full of the emotional rollercoaster ride of emotions, questions, intrigue and life that Laura puts into each story she writes.
The Billionaire's Christmas Gift: Reminds one of a modern day Cinderella. Chrystelle was working 3 jobs to afford living in a shared apartment near the movie studios where she hopes her manuscript is used. While working as a Chauffer she was able to get her beloved script about her great, great Grandmother and how she brought education to Gwilliam, CO. She got the script into Quint Fairfield's hand, whose family features clean TV shows and movies. Quint takes Chrystelle to a red carpet affair and they fall for each other. It is fun to see how they work through life and Chrystelle achieves her dram.
The Billionaire's Christmas Wish: a story about a pro football player, River, who was on injured leave and then traded to Seattle, Washington, while falling in love with a lady,Soledad. She lost her husband to the cartel and went through a lot in life. She was her husband shot in front of her and escaped by previous planning of husband Vincente and wants a better life for her daughter. She sets up a special school teaching culture to those in the poverty areas sh work. Really like her gentle demeanor and way of life.
The BillionaireL's Christmas Contract: Leah was engaged to a young man, Charlie, and shortly before the wedding caught him with his assistant and left him behind. Despite his begging forgiveness and never straying again, Leah knew this was a gift from God and kept that door shut to never open those possibilities again. She met a very wealthy young man, Bryg, who wants to come to her home town and change agriculture and farming in her beloved Mardale. She had fought every way she could, despite his purchasing Holly's large ranch next to her parents. Coming from a broken family, Bryg did not have it easy growing up and appreciated and admired what Leah's parents were doing for the foster boys they take in and wants to do the same and keep her parents farm as it is. She, too, got her Prince Charming, Bryg, in her happy ending. He loved her, for her, not what she could do for him!

Christmas Billionaire Boxed Set by Laura Haley McNeil
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars _______________________________________________________________ Story Notes
First things first, overall, these stories were pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of the billionaire trope but these don't get bogged down by it so I like that. In the first story, I liked the plot of producer/screenwriter but got really bugged by the way that Chrystelle just wouldn't trust Quint. She was so hard on him and I was honestly surprised he didn't just leave. I feel like in real life he might not have stuck around given her ridiculous stubbornness. I loved her family and his and how they helped things work out between the two. The second story was okay but I got bored with the plot line. It wasn't that it wasn't a good idea, it was how it was told. It felt like it was missing a big spark to make things exciting and that just never came. The little girl was cute in this one though, so that helped the story a good bit. The last story was my favorite of the three. I loved the plot/premise and how everything turned out. Bryg was interesting and brought some great dialogue to the story. Leah was just the right amount of protective and trusting and I liked seeing how she grew through the story. The boys were also a great addition to the story, especially Zeke. The trip to Denver showed me how good Leah and Bryg could be together and I was cheering for them from then on for sure. I definitely feel like this story saves the rating of this set for me. I hope Laura has more like it released or coming soon because that is the kind of story I really enjoy.
I received this temporary complimentary E-book from Laura via Bookfunnel. I am not required by anyone to write a positive review but am pleased to do so. I will receive no fiscal compensation for this review and the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.
Book 1. Gift Chrystelle’s dream of her script, brought her to Hollywood, working three jobs, and roommates. With thoughts of maybe she would get her chance. When she had to fill in as the driver for Quint. The fear, the tension, until she realized what he was offering her was real. It was beyond her dreams, a year now and that was only the beginning. Book 2. Wish River Jackson a known quarterback intrigued by the Christmas lights on the old schoolhouse. Meeting Soledad and delivering old uniforms, watching as she opened them, thinking they were special and appreciated. All he saw was how battered and used they were, wanting to replace with new. A lesson he learned, that money wasn’t the answers here. It was a learning center, and the children would appreciate this gift. Meeting her, a world he didn’t think possible for him, and the blessings that came, and it wasn’t because of money he made. Book 3…Contract Leah helping her parents with the foster boys they were raising at the ranch. The puddle Zeke stepped into was not how she wanted to meet Bryg. Meeting with her parents, his plans he had for this small town. The memories of the one’s who took him in as a foster child, now sitting around a dinner table brought that to his mind again.He still missed not having a father, a family, seeing Leah maybe he would get. Delightful heartwarming stories, readers will definitely enjoy. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
One of my favorite romance book this year, a modern Cinderella 2.0 story but with a strong woman who think about everyone but herself and when River come into her life, everything she believe in , is really turn upside down. I love how Laura put the strong character of Soledad into a small woman filled with love and selfless, it is a heartwarming read. I highly recommended it. I received an Arc and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
The billionaire’s Christmas Contract
Must read this absolutely storyline that take us in a rollercoaster of emotions from laughter to crying, misunderstandings and heartbreaking at times, you will fall in love with Leah’s story. She is very involved with her parents mission and when Bryg comes into town, their chemistry will take your breath away. Well written, this book takes you into their private feelings while passion, suspense and misunderstandings come their way. I highly recommended it. Thanks to the author for providing my review copy.

I love how Laura put the strong character of Soledad into a small woman filled with love and selfless, it is a heartwarming read. I highly recommended
Gift: I loved this Christmas, Hollywood billionaire, small town romance novel. It was very thorough and I loved the emphases of family, history, and character. It was wonderful to see these two experience things together and learn about the history of the town through the experiences of an exceptional woman. It was a great read and I’m thrilled to know it’s part of a series!
Wish: This is my second book in this wonderful billionaire Christmas series. I liked the sports angle. As a mother struggling to find the line in raising children in this consumeristic age, this quote really hit me “‘My children should appreciate what they receive, not expect more,’ Soledad said. ‘If they’re showered with new things, they’ll never understand the value of what they’ve received. Possessions should be earned not passed out like presents dropping from Santa’s sleigh.’” Billionaire. Sports. Some Spanish. A Cinderella feel for an amazing mom and her daughter. I absolutely loved this book. Nothing better to curl up with on a chilly winter day!
Contract: I enjoyed this romance with the ranch and the foster kids and the billionaire. I enjoyed the antics and activities. It was a fun Christmassy read.
Enjoyable, Wholesome Reading for Christmas in July—or anytime!
I enjoyed all three of the wholesome, heart-warming modern “Fairy Tales” in this collection. Instead of princes, there are swoon-worthy billionaires. The heroines may seem ordinary at first, but all three are princesses at heart and they help the billionaires re-discover what is important in life.
One very minor note: I have trouble believing that a 28-year-old NFL quarterback can be a billionaire. Millionaire, yes; billionaire, no. River Jackson is described as having plenty of money in the story, but I think he is only referred to as a “billionaire” in the title. However, the exact amount in his bank account doesn’t affect the story; he’s still a prince of a guy.
I received an ARC copy of this book, and this is my voluntary, honest opinion.
An excellent addition to your personal library, now bundled for your reading enjoyment, three of Laura Haley-McNeil's billionaire Christmas books. Each book stands entirely on its own. All have characters with depth and personal integrity. Every story highlights character growth through personal effort. as opposed to throwing money at a problem and pretending that solves the root causes. And theze are all stories you can read with your grandmother and grandchildrem without concerns about offending sensibilities.
I received an ARC copy of this story from the author via BookFunnel and voluntarily chose to share my review.
Christmas Billionaires Box Set Books 1-3 is an enjoyable box set by Laura Haley-McNeil. The books in the set are The Billionaire's Christmas Gift, The Billionaire's Christmas Wish and The Billionaire's Christmas Contract. Each of these holiday stories is a wonderful romance with great characters and each of these characters has different backgrounds and problems. Each story is a stand alone and they are so enjoyable. I like inspirational books and Laura Haley-McNeil writes good stories that make my heart happy. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.
Three heartwarming stories based on a strong faith in God and his providence. Each story was moving in their care and discussion of social issues and the Lord’s guidance. At issue for me was that conversations and passages were clunky and repetitive at times. If all a person wants to read is a very clean romance with a faith basis, these are fine and commendable. But the level of writing could be elevated significantly, I think, and would be an even greater testimony to the gifts that God provides.
This boxset consists of the first three books in this series and each story is completely different in its setting but they all have strong female characters, swoon worthy male leads and an overall feel-good factor for Christmas and romance. It is a delightful and heartwarming boxset that despite its Christmas setting can be read and enjoyed at any time. I received an ARC of this boxset but voluntarily leave this review.
If you are into the Hallmark type of book this is it for you. If you are looking for spice, this is NOT the book for you. All have a HEA. The only “gripe” I would say is for me personally the repetition of words. For example, the first story takes place in Gwilliam Park Colorado, I counted it mentioned about 30x. I get that the location is important to the story and Chrystelle but by golly that made the story hard to read. Same with the subsequent stories.
Three Christmas romances that are sweet and clean. Each storyline is different, but a delightful read. Swoon worth heroes and beautiful heroines. Charming stories as only Laura Haley-McNeil can write. Definitely recommend each of these stories.
I was given this advanced copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
This is a wonderful set of stories from an author that I have enjoy for years. I had read a couple of the stories in this set when they came out as individual stories. They were great stories with well developed characters. If you are looking for stories to give you some Christmas cheer these will defiantly do that. Check them out.
This is a brilliant read. Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start. Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable. Great drama and romance with wonderful world building. Can't wait to read what the author brings out next. Recommend reading.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.
A trio of clean, wholesome Christmas stories involving male billionaires and the strong women who stand up to them holding on to their standards. They are enjoyable reads with happy endings....it is Christmas, after all!
I was provided with an advanced copy of this boxed set and this is my opinion.
This was my first time reading books by this author. What a joy! I was completely immersed in her tales and charmed by the characters. I'll certainly be add her name to my list of favorite authors, not to mention many of her books. Thank you, Laura Haley- McNeil, for sharing your talents with your fans.
Three wonderful Christmas stories. I really enjoyed reading these. The storylines all held my interest. All the characters are well written but I especially love the children in the stories. Great holiday reading. I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary, honest review.
This collection of stories by Laura compliment each other and are worth staying up late to read! How each couple overcome their challenges to find love makes for enjoyable reading! I look forward to more books in this series! I received an advance reader copy of this wonderful boxed set.
Loved all three stories & 6 characters. I did think the first story was longer than need be. Plus I found Leah in the last story a bit selfish. But I liked how it ended. I enjoyed that all three stories were clean & had faith in the decisions made.
This stories are sweet clean easy to read I really enjoy them the characters are well developed this is a box set but all the stories are stand alone books. All the state romantic and set around Christmas super cute I wholeheartedly recommend them
I really enjoyed each of the stories. They flowed w tvell and the characters were interesting and believable. I intend to recommend them to my reader friends who enjoy a good story.
Strong female characters with a steady faith in God struggle to find/accept love and career goals in modern times. I loved all 3 books. Men with kind hearts and willingness to communicate and adapt
I have read each of these three stories, and have enjoyed every one of them! I do enjoy billionaire stories, (because I know I won’t ever be one), and I hope you enjoy these three as much as I have!
