Publisher Description:
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, anything can happen.
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 Review:
What a fun collection of Christmas stories! Each of the three authors whose stories are included in this collection know how to weave a story that’s interesting and heart-touching.
I could easily see each one of these stories as the basis for a Hallmark Christmas movie. In “A Christmas Do-Over”, I loved watching Darby, a former “mean girl”, go home and try to make amends for all the hurt she had caused in the past. “Dashing Through The Snow” kept me smiling all the way through the book, and the ending had me laughing out loud.“ A Perfectly Splendid Christmas” shows us that even though we may think we have a plan, God’s plans are always best. There’s a faith element to each story that makes this book a great read for the Christmas season.
I voluntarily received a copy of the book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
