I absolutely loved each story. That is so rare. And now I also have three new to me authors to obsess over. Happy reading!

Crescent Falls will always be home for me

Some of my favorite authors. I enjoyed each and every book. This is my home away from home. Crescent Falls is where so many of my beloved family live. It was fun seeing familiar faces and the new ones. Just read the damn book!!!

Snowed in for the Win!
Steamy holiday romances that will keep you warm. The magic of the holidays was on full display. I enjoyed these quick joyful reads!

The narrators did a great job with pacing and emotion. However, I could definitely hear the female narrators native accent and that sometimes took me out of the story.

Connection

Each author provided a comfort of being snowed in with your twin flame/soul tied partner. What your mind desires as your type your heart pulls in a different direction to what your soul desires and needs.

Series 4.25⭐️ and 3🌶️

Kelton and Averi - KC Mills
Averi was supposed to meet her boyfriend at the resort but he never showed up because he has a major secret that will change the course of her life. Kelton overhears the conversation and actually breaks the news to Averi because it's plastered all over social media.

Averi and Kelton were cute but he falls first and he falls HARD. A lot of the time I felt like he was more into their relationship than she was.
✨Instalove
✨Forced proximity



😍Viktor and Channing - Kizzie Kollins

This was my favorite couple and favorite book of the series. I loved how much Channing loved Kiana. Sheera has to be the most chill baby mama I've encountered in any book. Channing was conflicted with her feelings for Viktor and continuing furthering her education out of state. Kiana and Viktor's conversation about Channing leaving them was so cute and I love it when kids can have open and honest communication with their parents.
This gave all the holiday vibes and I loved this couple so much. The epilogue. OMG
✨Nanny + Single Dad
✨Forced Proximity



😍Bryce and Teyon - T’Lyn

Second favorite of the series. Teyon is a chef whose boyfriend didn’t show up to their Christmas getaway because he had two major secrets that she didn't know about. Essentially, Teyon was the other woman. She thought her boyfriend checked into their hotel room but was surprised to see it was Bryce, a stranger who was a major jerk and even destroyed her Christmas decorations. He deserved her reaction to that because dude was tripping.

Bryce was dealing with some of the most unimaginable grief possible and Teyon was right on time. He described her as a reminder of his past love and that was interesting. It made me wonder if that's why he was so attracted to her. Aside from that, I did believe in their love and enjoyed their epilogue.
✨Grief/Heavy/Check Triggers


Samiya and Grant - Charity Shane

She owns a candle company that has made Oprah's Favorite Things list. Unfortunately, Samiya hated Christmas because of a loss she experienced. A lot of people experience grief around the holidays and it's so heartbreaking to watch them go through so many emotions.
Grant cared for Samiya in the very ways she needed and I'm glad she embraced the spirit of Christmas again.

My thoughts: 🔖19% Kelton and Averi Location 1225 of 6477: Chapter 10 Averi - This isn't bad, it has a just go with it vibe.
🔖🏈💔28% Kelton and Averi Location 1788 of 6477: Author K.C. Mills CONNECT WITH ME! - This story was pretty good but of course was instasex followed by instalove without much of a plot. Very Zane's Sex Chronicles.
🔖31% Viktor & Channing Location 2005 of 6477: Chapter 14 Channing - This story starts on Chapter 12 and it's going to be messy!
🔖55% Viktor & Channing Location 3561: Also By Kizzie Kollins - This story had a few storylines that made no sense, like the interview. I wasn't horrible but I just didn't enjoy it or the tropes.
🔖75% Bryce & Teyon Location 4846: Chapter 32 Bryce - I feel this is the end but my eyes can't go any further. This is the best story so far.
🔖77% Bryce & Teyon Location 4992: Note To Readers - This was pretty good. I dislike miscommunication but this one made sense and it was quick.
🔖83% Grant & Samiya Location 5374: Chapter 37 Grant - For a minute I thought I had read this before. Turns out I was thinking of A Novel Christmas. So far it's good, although it feels familiar.
🔖100% Grant & Samiya Location 6468: Also by Charity Shané - This story was pretty good and I believe this author is the reason I picked up this one. My only issue with this story besides parts of it scene a bit recycled was it they could not decide on how to spell the author's name. I had previously seen Shane', but in this book, they started using Shané, and even introduced both spellings on the same page. I hope they figure it out because I plan on reading more from this author in the future.

I really enjoyed this collection. I picked it up because I could not find the stories individually on Kindle Unlimited. I had lost interest in reading this story by January so I was planning on reading it in the late fall or early winter but a Christmas in July got it back in rotation and even though it took a while, because new releases were priority, it was worth the time. I might have been a little biased with one story because I wasn't a fan of the plot but I truly enjoyed the others.

Recommend to others: Yes. If you don't mind spice this is a fantastic collection of stories.

Holiday anthology

These stories will get you in the holiday mood. They are full of romance and happily-ever-afters. And if that is your favorite genre, you are sure to love these, as I did. Grab your cup of cocoa, a blanket, and read away. I like that they have a common theme, and they make sense without being overly repetitive. They aren't just separate stories, but at the same time, you don't feel compelled to read them all in one sitting, although I did, and I was happy to do so.

🔥💕🎄🎅🏾

Each story was beautiful, cozy and well written. I read it after the holidays but I still felt the vibes.

[Sheena · Rating 5 out of 5]

❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed each Christmas story. It was good learning how they met each other and how being together on Christmas and being snowed in brought them closer.

[SolVibez · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.4 ⭐️ There were too many similarities in the stories. Two stories with women abandoned by their boyfriends who just both happen to have secret fiancées. Two stories with characters grieving the loss of loved ones killed in car accidents…both by semi trucks.

There was really only one unique story. The others felt like reworked versions of each other. Maybe they would’ve seemed different if I had read them separately and spaced out. As a whole, the collection just didn’t do it for me.

[Anquetta Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love me a good love story and all of these were that!! Loved them all! I’m a hopeless romantic! ❤️❤️

[Ms. Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Crescent Falls is the place to be!

I really liked how the authors collaborated and made these stories. It was the perfect HEA in all four stories.

[Kay Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute collection of stories...they all were quirky and had a level of foolishness (which i love)...

[Rémy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not very realistic. Everyone falls in love after 3-5 days? Each story had characters with varying layers which was added interest.

[Alisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

All of the included books were good. I think I found a new author while enjoying authors I love to read. I want more from Crescent City and these authors.

[Jaye · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to the audiobook
I love how the stories cross over!

Kelton and Averi

Allen did Averi so wrong!!!! I loved who Kelton made sure Averi was cool after her panic attack. Kelton was everything!! I need him in my life.
I loved Kelton and Averi story. It was very cute, and I need more of their story.

Viktor and Channing
It’s wild that Sheera had Channing as a live in nanny of a 10 year old. That’s seems a little strange to me that Kiana is 13 now and still needs a nanny!

I felt so bad that Channing missed her interview. I assumed Viktor and Sheera were older than they were. It wasn’t until Channing stated the Viktor was only 4 years older than her, the Author made Channing seem a lot younger than she was.

Channing started to get on my nerves with all those questions after they had coitus. Channing got on my nerves second guessing everything.

Viktor came through for Channing! Changed her whole life in a week and fell in love.

Bryce and Teyon

Bryce had me messed up at the beginning, his wife and name sake!

Miles had me too weak!

Bryce and Teyon first interaction was too much. They should have called the front desk first, before all the back and forth.

Teyon was very empathetic when it came to Bryce and the reason why he don’t like Christmas. But Bryce and Teyon after the spa was everything plus some.

Steven/ Stephon whatever his name is wasn’t ish.. a whole baby and a fiancé, I was like dang he could have told sis he didn’t want her.

It wasn’t much that I didn’t like about this story. I hate that Bryce left without hearing Teyon story and why she was kissing her ex. I didn’t like Stephon and I didn’t like the author kept using jarring over and over again.

I knew Mr. Robert was Bryce’s dad!!! I love Bryce and Teyon together.

Grant and Samiya

Samiya story of their parents were so sad.
When I heard Grant went to clave.. I knew he was going to be EVERYTHING.

Larissa made me want to slap her with that toast. She gives mean girl vibes. Grant was on it, he moved quickly to comfort his girl.

Samiya 45 day is shot to hell, cause this is night 2 and they going at it.

These characters going raw after knowing each other for a few days is wild to me!

Samiya was doing good until she jumped to conclusions about Grant.

Teyon is a blossoming chef who is trying to save her relationship with a boyfriend that seems to be jealous of her success. In an effort to spark the flame in their relationship she plans a romantic stay at a hotel a little ways from home during the holidays. Right before this trip is supposed to happen they get in an argument and she's unsure if he's going to show. When she gets confirmation that someone has checked into the room she booked she gets hopeful. During a snowstorm she makes her way to the hotel.

Bryce is 100% against Christmas. He lost his family during the holidays and has made it a tradition to book himself a hotel and be closed off from the world during Christmas. Little does he know, the room he booked has been double booked with someone that loves Christmas.

I loved reading about Teyon and Bryce. It gave top tier "one hotel room" trope. Of course no extra accommodations can be made because of the snowstorm. Teyon and Bryce are forced to spend time with one another and discover that they actually really like each other. If you are looking for a good holiday romance with a sprinkle of drama I think this may be what you are looking for.

[booktrovert · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5. I love Christmas and HEA love stories. This was nicely wrapped for me with four short stories in one. I love collections books as well. My favorite are stories 3 by T'Lyn and story 4 by Charity Shane' , those two stories got 5. The other two stories weren't bad but just didn't move with 5.

[Cheryl Robinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Difficult

Rating this book series was difficult as I enjoyed some stories more than others. My fav is Charity Shane. I enjoy her books. This was my first with T’Lyn and Kizzie Kollins. For the most part it was entertaining.

[OoohGoshTara Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

These interwoven novellas were cozy, cute and full of holiday vibes. My favs of these four stories were Bryce and Teyon x T'Lyn and Grant and Samiya x Charity Shane. (Overall average rating 3.5)
