I'll update this as I read the others! -
I read this collection along with Mistletoe Kisses and Christmas Wishes collection. How fun to read a historical Christmas story and then read a story from the other collection; alternating back and forth, sometimes staying in one time period doesn't allow you enjoy the entire collection.
One story in each mentioned a Skye, to be back in history and then jump to Seattle and see the name again. too fun!
My favorites in this collection were:"A Partridge in a Pear Tree" was so imaginative, full of fun, and a heartwarming story. "The Christmas Knot" was a wow from the beginning for the 2 main characters meeting - the ghost element was different but not - a good read. "Wish Upon a Winter Solstice" was a good love story. I enjoyed the entire selection, but the above 3 will stand out a little more for me. -
Charming Christmastime romance !
I have to admit that when I purchased this book , I believed it was going to be set in England , I had no clue that it was a Medieval
Romance , but I didn't stop reading until I was done ! This is one of those books that I will keep in my library and read again - a really good one ! -
Christmas
I enjoyed this anthology. I was introduced to some authors I've never read before. Of course, like many anthologies, some stories I connected with more than others, but overall it was a good buy. -
Good book
A little predictable, but still a good, clean romance. I enjoy it, especially since I read it at Christmas. Sweet
