About the author
Susan Meier
594 books457 followersGood morning! It's a beautiful sunny beginning to the day here in Western, Pennsylvania. I'm working on my 75th book. 75th! I'm very excited about that.
I've written some fun things ... those are the Silhouette Romance titles. I especially liked SNOWBOUND BABY which was book 3 of the Bryant Baby Bonanza series which also included BABY BEFORE BUSINESS and PRINCE BABY. But my favorites for Silhouette where the books of the Brewster Baby Boom series THE BABY BEQUEST, BRINGING UP BABIES and OH, BABIES! Where three bachelors inherit triplets. Those were fun to write. I go back every now and again and read them myself for a laugh!
My Harlequins are a little (sometimes a lot) more serious than my Silhouettes, but I always deliver a heart warming story that reminds readers that family and love go hand in hand.
You'll especially see that in FALLING FOR THE PREGNANT HEIRESS where Trent Sigmund decides to help his best friend Seth's baby sister Sabrina McCallan hunt down her on-again/off-again boyfriend, Pierre, to tell him he's about to be a father. Trent tries not to fall. So does Sabrina. Who knew real love had been in their backyard all along.
Sexy or sweet, funny or sad, my characters make some serious lemonade out of their lemons! :)
Because that's how I see life. I have three kids...one of whom has epilepsy. Raising him taught me (and my husband and our other two kids) that sometimes a situation that seems bad can have its blessings.

I was drawn to this holiday anthology first by the title, and then by knowing that the stories were connected, with overlapping characters. I don't think I've ever read a holiday anthology by different authors where the stories were connected, and it was a really fun, sweet, light-hearted read. The first story was about Gwen, a single mom with a young baby, who is hired as an administrative assistant. She and her boss have an undeniable connection that blossoms into sweet holiday romance.
In the second story, Gwen's twin sister, Gill, is focused on climbing the corporate ladder. What she doesn't see is that nothing will make her happier than finding love this holiday season, not even a job promotion.
I enjoyed both the stories and felt like I got to know the sisters well throughout both stories. I liked the light romances with the Christmas settings. The authors did a nice job of keeping a similar feel to the stories.
I picked up this book from the library to read for the #HoHoHoRAT read-a-thon and all opinions are my own.

An enchanting duo of holiday stories featuring two sisters, Gwen and Gill. In Meier's Baby Beneath the Christmas Tree, we meet young single mum Gwen, hot hero Drew and his teenage son, Brody. Instantly likeable characters and a unique, whimsical setting made this a page-turning, enjoyable read. Wallace's debut Magic Under the Mistletoe blends a gorgeous Boston setting, a driven heroine (Gwen's sister Gill) and a hard-headed hero (Oliver) in a heart-warming read. If this is how Barbara Wallace begins her career, she's got great things ahead of her.

This rating is for the story by Susan Meier, "Baby Beneath the Christmas Tree."
I love this Christmas romance story as it features the bringing together of family, snow, Christmas trees, two second chance at romance lovers who were hurt by their previous relationships.
Gwen is a new mom, abandoned by her boyfriend, wanting to job to pay for completing her university degree so she can become a teacher.
Drew is a work-a-holic divorced dad trying to parent his son. They work together on the Christmas tree farm. Is the local legend at the Christmas Tree farm true?
Can Gwen work for Drew & Brody as a house care taker & resist her attraction towards Drew?
Will Drew drive away his son Brody?
Wonderful happy Christmas season ending. I enjoy reading this book every Christmas.

This was a pleasant surprise that it contained two stories. Twin sisters Gwen and Gill. When I like a character (and being a romance it works out with the couple) it is nice that the next story gives a glimpse of the first couples continuing story while bringing a minor character from the first story and tells her story.
Both stories are nice and easy to read...interesting characters and what single lady doesn't want to find Mr. Right at the happiest time of year ...Christmas!

Actually more like a 3.5.
I enjoyed the first of the two stories far greater than the second.
The author tied it together pretty well in the end.
A good holiday read.

Two stories, twin sisters, love at Christmas a few years apart. I liked Gwen more than Gill, but both were perfectly fine stories. Nothing I loved, nothing I hated.
