Sheila Robers, Melissa Ferguson and Amy Clipston
Contemporary Romance
In this glittering and heartwarming collection, three of today’s bestselling sweet romance novelists offer up the gift of cheer for the winter holiday season.
A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts
Darby doesn’t want to go home for the holidays, but a career fail sends her slinking back to the small town she always wanted to escape. No one there is especially glad to see the former mean girl—especially not her sister, Erica, or childhood best friend, Gregory. Darby is working hard to be a better person, but has she eaten enough humble pie to make amends?
Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson
When Willow’s boyfriend of seven years dumps her on the eve of a romantic getaway, she decides to take the two-week train trip on The Christmas Express alone. Hurt as she feels, she can’t anticipate how the hilarious rebound ride with conductor Oliver, elf Ian, and aging world adventurer Clarence will heal her heart—and renew her sense of worth.
A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston
Kacey adores the metropolitan life, but when she gets away to help her sister during a family crisis and run her bakery, she falls in love with former classmate Drew. The problem: he’s a small-town man, and she’s a big-city woman. Is their love big enough to overcome such a major difference?
Curl up with your favorite holiday drink and sink into three worlds where dreams once thought long-gone are still within reach.

My Thoughts
What a delightful read this collection of stories was. I usually have a favorite but I would be hard pressed to pick one this time around. Each of the three is a stand-alone story that is filled with lovely characters and charming settings.
Along the way we meet Darby who is trying to become a reformed mean girl. You can't help but cheer her on as she makes amends and finds a new path in life. Then we join Willow on an interesting train adventure. The unexpected encounters will change the direction of her life. Finally we travel with Kacey back to her hometown where she helps her sister during a short-term crisis. In the midst she may find a long term life change.
The Christmas spirit flows through each of these tales and allows the reader to escape into a delightful winter wonderland. One of the best parts is that each individual story is a novella so you can grab a cup of cocoa and read a story in one sitting. That's what I did three nights in a row. By the way, I think this would make a great addition to the book lover's stocking on your list!
