This book will open your heart to the Christmas spirit. Five Christmas stories from your favorite romance authors.

Flamingo Blues by Sharon Kleve
Corny Myers has a unique psychic ability; she can communicate with animals.


In the pursuit of the perfect Christmas getaway in Victoria BC; Corny steals a tour bus; returns a flock of stolen Flamingos to their favorite lake; buys Steve, her tough-as-nails Seattle cop boyfriend, front row seats to the Cirque du Soleil; and she gets a bright and shiny new key.
 

A Christmas Miracle, by Danica Winters
Christie has defined herself by her wheelchair and has created a world filled with ‘I can’t’. When she meets her marathon running, salsa dancing neighbor, Marcus, he tries to show her that there is more to life than self-imposed limits and other peoples’ judgments. Will Christie open her heart and her mind to her sexy neighbor, or will the pain of her past keep her a prisoner in her own life? Christmas short story contest winner from Books to Go Now

The Light of Christmas by Jennifer Conner
After Joel splashes mud from his utility truck on a pretty woman who works at the mall, he wonders how he can ever make it up to her. Holli Segal can’t wait for her first big break to design the Christmas display window for Schroder Toys. But when a circuit breaker blows, she’s sunk. Will Joel be able to light up Holli’s Christmas in more ways than one?

Love's Christmas Gift by Mindy Hardwick
Skipper Bill and Elizabeth have been friends forever. But, when Elizabeth is offered a job interview across the country, these two friends are going to need the help of a little mistletoe to find their holiday romance.

Christmas Stockings by Karen Hall
Holly Chamberlain can write love letters for others, but no decent young lady would dare write one for herself. So when her secret beloved, Grayson Clark, vicar at St. Martin in the Pines, arrives at her office with a request to write love letters for a shy friend, she suspects he is actually the friend and the letters are to the granddaughter of a baronet known to admire him. His request for her to replace an injured cast member of St. Martin's production of A Christmas Carol delights her, but the baronet's granddaughter is also in the cast, dashing any hopes Holly has for her own Christmas love story.
Grayson Clark can speak eloquently from the pulpit, but not to Holly Chamberlain, the woman he secretly loves. After all, he's just a vicar while she is the daughter of one of London's wealthiest merchants and known to be admired by an up and coming barrister. Dictating his own love letters to her may be folly but what else can he do? Having her join the cast of A Christmas Carol seemed like a miracle, but now his predecessor is insisting Grayson be attentive to a baronet's granddaughter in order to pay for St. Martin's new roof. Can't vicars have their own happily-ever afters? After all, it's Christmas.
Set against a backdrop of late Victorian London, and a production of Charles' Dickens beloved, A Christmas Carol, Christmas Stockings brings together two people who are only shy when they are together, and whose fondest wish is about to be granted-and they don't even have to use mistletoe!



Professional Reviews

Favorable
Overall, I enjoyed this collection of stories but it doesn't have an interactive table of contents. I was happy to see good things happen Christie in "A Christmas Miracle." Confined to a wheelchair following an accident, she thought her chance for love was gone. I loved Marcus from the very beginning because he didn't see the wheelchair as limiting and he encouraged Christie to stop setting limits herself.
In "The Light of Christmas," Holli is chosen to decorate some downtown windows for the holidays. Viewing those windows is a tradition for many families. It poses a special challenge for Holli since she hates Christmas. Joel was a sweet hero, dousing her in mud but determined to make up for it."Love's Christmas Gift" brings us a slightly older heroine and a home where everyone is healing. Good dialogue as friends think about become more. The next story, "Christas Stockings," was probably my favorite. It was a twist on the Cyrano story as Holly Chamberlain writes love letters for others. But the tables are turned when she finally receives one, well, five of them. Cute story. The last story, "Flamingo Blues," was my least favorite. The author writes well, I just thought that Corny's ability to understand the flamingos was corny. It bothered me everyting the flamingos "talked" because their thoughts were too well developed. I like Corny and her boyfriend, Steve, but I did think it was funny that she was able to help the flamingos without being caught. So they are all short stories, as are all the "Books to Go" books. But I enjoyed them and will keep this book around to read again next Christmas.


It was okay
This anthology was okay. I was glad it was free. It was just a light holiday read but each story just needed a little more "something" for me!


Average short stories
These stories are quick reads, but only mildly interesting. They will fill the bill if you just want a quick dose of Christmas spirit.
