Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
These Christmas stories were so sweet and uplifting. I was sad when I realized I just finished the last book in the bundle. The stories were very descriptive. I could picture being in the scenes. Now I am going shopping for more Books by Alicia Street. Well done!
Loved every character. They were all so real. They drew me in, even made me want to visit North Fork or hoped to find a quaint spot like Coffee Cove. Great writing!
Full of Christmas Romances by Various Authors! A great bargain just in time for the holidays! A few have minor editing errors but nothing to reduce your enjoyment. A great bargain.
Nice stories of the holidays, set on the North Fork of Long Island. Single moms, single dads, uncles, and business owners all finding a new old love or a new new love.
These four well connected sweet holiday romances will have you craving more from author Alicia Street. The theme is finding true love despite past experiences and disappointments and present obstacles. Touched on are letting go, taking a second chance, overcoming deceit and betrayal, staying loyal to family values and learning to be open and trust again.
While these are characters you quickly care about and the romances are sweet, Alicia Street is the master when it comes to writing MEAN GIRLS. She can give you a clear impression in only a few words. These are the women who never got past their high school hang ups and need for attention. The ones who feel that if they can't have the man of their dreams, no one else deserves to be happy either.
The holiday spirit shines through these heart warming reads.
