The Boss Who Stole Christmas, Book 1
Dear Santa,
Please bring me a new boss for Christmas. Mine is the worst. The worst, hidden in a six foot tall package of male perfection. It’d be easier if he looked like an old Scrooge, wouldn’t it? Nick Saint-Croix doesn’t look like an old scrooge. He’s hot as-Um, never mind. Just bring me a new boss. Please.
Sincerely, Holly Winter
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, Book 2
Dear Santa,
I do not want Keller James for Christmas. I will not fall for him, no matter how charming or irresistible or famous he is. I will not be swayed by his skills in the kitchen or by his British accent. I’m going to win the Great Gingerbread Bake Off and no one is going to stand in my way. Not even Keller. All kisses are off. I mean all bets. All bets are off. And all his clothes. Grr, never mind. I’ll figure this out myself.
XOXO, Ginger Winter
The One Night Stand Before Christmas, Book 3
Dear Santa,
Please stop by my house and pick up your suit. If you thought I was going to run it to the dry cleaners for you after you left it on my bedroom floor, you’ve got another thought coming.
Best, Noel Winter

***2 stars***
This month I decided I would only read Christmas themed books and so far I did well, but after this one right here I am officially done. It's not that it was bad per se, but it wasn't great either. Full of clichés, silly and immature characters and surprisingly, not christmasy enough.
There are three different stories in The Reindeer Falls Collection and each focuses on one Winter sister.
The first story was the one that convinced me to pick it up, because part of it takes place in the city I currently live in (Nuremberg, Germany). On one hand, it was really nice to read about places I've known my whole life and places I see almost every day. But on the other hand, there was some weird stuff happening, like for example there's a scene where the MC, Holly Winter, gets fingered on a church balcony, by none other than her boss 😐🤦♀️😂 They came to Nuremberg on a business trip, while also visiting the Christmas Market, where they fall in love. The romance part was just meh for me.
Story number two was the one that annoyed me the most and the one that basically ruined the whole thing for me.
First off, the name of the MC is Ginger Spice Winter. Nope, I am not kidding you. How ridiculous is that? Anyway, Ginger is a baker who is participating in a holiday baking contest, where she meets and falls for a celebrity chef.
Thing is.. she might just be the silliest and most immature character I have ever read about. Dare I compare her to Nora from Hush Hush, and she was a special kind of stupid.
Ginger says things like "sex stuff" instead of just saying sex and event though she's a woman in her late twenties, she acts and thinks like a horny virgin school girl, if that makes any sense. I really disliked her constant whining.
And story number 3 is about Noelle Winter, the third sister, who one day ends up having a one night stand with Santa. She confuses him with someone else and thinks they shouldn't see each other again, but as fate would have it, he's actually the guy she's supposed to end up with.
Had there been more about the sisters and their relationship, more Christmas cheer or simply more than just the romance and "sex stuff", this might have been better. Altogether, an average read.

This set was so cute!! I read the books when they came out and I couldn't resist getting the audiobook to listen to them all over again. I'm a huge fan of Christmas and this town just sounds like a magical place where I want to live. I also want to be best friends to all three sisters, Holly, Ginger and Noel because they all sound like they would be so much fun. The guys these three fell for are just a bonus!

4 'Christmas at Reindeer Falls' Stars!
It seems I am very much in the mood for some Christmas stories lately! I thoroughly enjoy them when the mood strikes me and the three short stories in the Reindeer Falls Collection did not disappoint me. I loved the Winter sisters, they are so hilarious and unique. Each story was different, super funny and entertaining. I loved the heroes too and how swoony and sexy they were! I specially enjoyed the second book but I did really enjoy the whole collection. Jana Aston is so good at romcoms and mixing it with a holiday theme was a great idea!
• The Boss Who Stole Christmas - 4 'My hot Grinch boss' Stars!
• If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread - 4.5 'Trust the magic' Stars!
• The One Night Stand Before Christmas - 3.5-4 'Tell me a secret' Stars!

I really loved this interlocking series of standalone holiday novellas. Very cute, and laugh-out-loud funny in places. Really great for holiday listening! And now I have finished my book challenge for the year! (But I'm going to keep going.)

LOVED IT! The sisters are hilarious! I really liked book #1 the best outta the 3 of them.
December 12, 2019
I’m not a fan of novellas, but these were super FUN to listen to and who doesn’t love Christmas theme books!
I think what I liked most about the series is that it’s about 3 sisters and the banter was really funny and sweet.
I also believe I enjoyed the book a lot more because I listened to them via audio and who doesn’t like to listen to Erin Mallon’s voice.

I’ve been wanting to read this series since it was first announced and now I was finally able to I’m in awe. I love Christmas so much and Jana just rocked these beauties.
ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review
Reading these books have been the highlight of my week. They’re fun, short and absolutely addictive. I went in expecting a certain thing and came out with a story completely different and I loved that so much.
The Boss Who Stoke Christmas
Holly and Nick were amazing. I’m a sucker for an office romance. Their story was fun and so damn hot. Their relationship and their chemistry is off the charts hot and they leave you needing more.
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread
Ginger and Keller were instant. The friendship from their first meet was cute. I loved how they interacted and I loved how they both helped each other in different ways. They bring the best out in each other and they’re so damn adorable together. I loved the baking part of this story too, it’s been so much fun to read.
The One Night Stand Before Christmas
Holly and Teddy are so adorable it hurts. I love how fun and feisty Holly is and how adorable and loving teddy is. I loved that their story was different and I loved how everything played out. This one was by far my favourite from this series.
It’s been an absolute honour reading and reviewing these. Jana did an incredible job turning these sisters romances into books. They’re short, fun and sexy and don’t fail to make you laugh. 5 STARS for these beauties.

Holly, Ginger y Noel me han hecho reír y suspirar con sus historias. Navideñas, dulces y divertidas. Ideal para estas fechas.
December 2, 2022
Se acerca la navidad y yo, por necesidad, tengo que leer algo con esta temática.
Este libro no me falló. Es más, es una relectura y podría decir que el mejor libro navideño con spicy que he leído. Porque es bastante spicy 👀
Navidad en Reindeer Falls cuenta con tres partes. Cada parte es de una de las hermanas Winter: Holly, Ginger y Noel. Todas buscando sus sueños y, aunque no lo crean ellas mismas, el amor.
🎄❤️ Empezaré diciendo que el libro es del tipo de cliché que me gusta: amor-odio, coqueteos, negación por los sentimientos, chicos guapos… Y como es de cliché, solían pasar cosas muy obvias que, en mi opinión, a veces me daba risa. Y bien, también vergüenza ajena, pero no tanta como suele pasarme con otros libros.
Y con cliché también me refiero a que aquí la magia y el enamoramiento es rápido. Pero bueno, son tan cortas las historias (apenas 14 capítulos y muy cortos) que era bastante predecible casi todo. De hecho, con todo el cliché, me sorprendió que haya disfrutado de esta lectura.
Por otra parte, uno de los puntos que me gustó fueron todas las referencias que hacían por la Navidad, como todas estas veces que nombraban al Grinch, Scrooge y hasta Harry Potter ✨️
Con los personajes puedo decir que también me gustaron. ¿Y el ambiente? Uf.
Reindeer Falls es un lugar que me encantaría que existiera para ir a visitarlo con lo tan hermosos detalles que se describen. Además, es un pueblo pequeño 👌🏻
Así que, en teoría, el libro es entretenido para pasar el rato, ligero y rápido de leer. Totalmente recomendado para estas fechas.

***Audiobook***
The Boss Who Stole Christmas
4 CROWNS
Very cute, light, fun holiday read. With a Christmas obsessed heroine and a seemingly grinch-esque boss, Jana Aston’s new holiday novella takes a sweet journey through romantic holiday.
Both characters are extremely likable, and the heroine has the Christmas jokes (even though a tad corny at times). This is a hit of steam when they finally connect, and the plot, while predictable was very entertaining.
The narrator is wonderful, and I enjoyed listening to this one. Definitely a good holiday read.
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread
4 CROWNS
Another cute, fun, and low angst holiday novella. It really is a great holiday read.
I enjoyed the characters, the storyline, and the continuation of the quirky and outlandish holiday life that these sisters have.
I’m a huge fan of the food network baking shows so I loved that component of the story, and the couple in this one was very cute.
The gingerbread theme ran through the whole story, and I enjoyed the overall story. There just isn’t a ton of surprises or conflict in them, but it is a novella and a holiday one at that so it isn’t unexpected.
The One Night Stand Before Christmas
4 CROWNS
Super quick, like shorter than the previous two, but still funny and Christmassy.
I enjoyed the premise. I don’t know that I loved he lied about who he was and the events that occurred around his obscure identity, but is was still charming.
Reindeer Falls is certainly that idyllic community, and this group of sisters was charming with the zealous love of all things Christmas.
Holiday fun for all, with different tropes. Definitely for lovers of romcom and Christmas.
***same narrator for all three novellas ***

Es una antología navideña de tres historias sobre tres hermanas : Holly, Ginger y Noel, apellidadas Winter. Está claro que rezuma Navidad, además, el pueblo, Reindeer Fall me lo imagino como alguno de los que salen en las películas navideñas americanas (por ejemplo, Midway (Utah)), sólo que con las renos.
Eso es lo mejor de todo, de verdad son navideñas. Asimismo, me gustan las ideas del primer y segundo relato, trabajando en una juguetería y siendo una experta haciendo galletas de jengibre.
Lo que menos me gusta es la parte... ¿lujuriosa? "Vamos a echar un polvorón"... ¿De verdad? Demasiado exagerado para mí, muy chic lit. Y a eso le añades tres instaloves y 💣
Como lecturas navideñas están bien, te hacen entrar en ambientillo y entretienen.

2,5 Estrellas. La mejor historia, la tercera.
December 23, 2020
No me esperaba tal cantidad de contenido sexual en este libro. Me esperaba un libro pasteloso y adorable, aunque es cierto que una cosa lleva a la otra, no creo que tantos detalles hagan falta en un libro como este.
El primer relato (primera hermana, Holly) me pareció sin sentido, cliché, ridículo y no veía amor por ningún lado. Jefe y empleada.
Sin embargo, la historia de Ginger (segunda hermana) sí que me gustó mucho, pues sucede todo de manera más romántica (aunque considero que surrealista). Los dos son cocineros/pasteleros y se conocen en un concurso. El gesto de él hacia ella me demostró mucho.
Por último, Noel (tercera hermana) tiene un rollito de una noche que no es con quien pensaba. Un poco más de trama tiene la historia, pero sin más.
Lo mejor del libro es la ambientación navideña y que me han entrado ganas de viajar a Rainders Falls, porque tiene que ser espectacular.
Para resumir, el matiz sexual está continuamente y yo hubiera preferido más contenido romántico; de todas formas, me he divertido mucho y se lee muy rápido.

I’ve decided to review The Reindeer Falls Collection separately—unlike usual, where I would just copy the reviews of each book with a quick sum-up—because I feel the need to explain my low ratings.
As a fan of Jana Aston, I was sorely disappointed with how half-assed these books were. If you asked me before, I would tell you that she was one of my authors with the least chance of getting two-or-lower-star rating. But here we are…
The stories seemed to be based on Christmas and Christmas only. Other stuff (even main characters) were just complements to it and not a well-written ones either. This is one of the reason why I don’t prefer to read Christmas or any other holiday-themed stories, because many authors (or even TV screenwriters) just use holidays as an excuse for lazy writing, as in “let’s just slap a Christmas stamp on this shit and people will read/watch it and love it” writing.
But back to this collection… Were those stories just a bonus one-scene canapés, just to tide us over while waiting for another book of hers, I’d go for it and I bet I would love it, the sisters were the perfect material for it. The added length to their “love-stories” just bred boredom and blandness, and to repeat myself from one of reviews, a horrible, horrible predictability.
Then, to top it all, I guess, the epilogue came with the ultimate happy ending, because readers would be so disappointed if even one of those sisters was left unmarried, albeit in happy relationship.
This series left a bitter taste in my mouth, not sure if bitter can be described as typical one for Christmas.

The very best part of this collection of three short stories is Erin Mallon's phenomenal narration. She does an AMAZING job narrating the first person narration of each sister who takes the lead in these stories. It was a delight to listen to her, and I think that she hit the mood of these stories perfectly. As for the stories themselves ... well, they weren't all that fantastic. The major issue with short romantic stories is that they are short. It's hard to write a romantic short story that manages to tell a complete story arc where a couple can begin to fall in love without it seeming rushed or incomplete. In each of the three stories in The Reindeer Falls Collection Jana Aston attempts to get each couple from just meeting to Happily Ever After, all within a few short days. How can they do this so quickly? Well, it appears that the way to their hearts is entirely physical, because almost the entirety of the stories concentrates on the physical chemistry between the romantic leads. That's it. There is nothing that indicates the growth of an emotional attachment other than various proclamations about growing feelings. How could there be any growth? The entire story takes place over a couple of days during the Christmas season. Growing physical chemistry makes sense, but deep emotional attachment? Unlikely. So I guess I would say that if you are looking for stories about amazing physical chemistry found during the Christmas season, this might be the book for you. But if you want anything deeper, look elsewhere. The problem with these stories is that Jana Aston wants to have it all ... finding perfect HEAs for all her heroines at breakneck speed. It didn't work. The stories ended up feeling superficial and incomplete. But they were cute(ish). I think I felt the cuteness 100% because of Erin Mallon's narration.
As for the individual stories ... The Boss Who Stole Christmas was my least favorite of the bunch. There was a bit of an ick factor for me with this one because Nick is Holly's boss, and I felt too much of a sexual harassment vibe in this one ... probably because he comes onto her seemingly out of nowhere. There is no indication that there is any emotional connection between these characters. He seems to just want a business trip hook-up. Sure, she is all happy about it because he is oh so handsome, but I wasn't feeling it. It felt wrong to me.
I think I liked If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread the best of the three. I really liked the use of the television bake-off competition as the background for this one. The main issue with this was the speed of the attachment between the two leads. I could see why they were physically attracted to each other, but why the quick jump to love and leaving everything to be together? Why do this? At that speed it seems almost stalkerish? But it was a cute story.
The One Night Stand Before Christmas was also super cute, but if you stand back for a second and think about what happened ... well, ladies I would just advise against doing this in real life. Who just drags random Santas home to their house for a holiday romp? Who does this? It's just all sorts of potential tragedy. And then to find yourself maybe in love with the guy? WHY??????? What happened in the few pages of this story to warrant those sorts of feelings? Jana Aston couldn't pull it off with a short story. It might have worked in a full-length novel, but it didn't work here.
Like I say, the book was cute, mostly. But because the author was trying to pack EVERYTHING into a short story it ended up being superficial, hoping that the physical interactions could carry it all. It didn't work for me. Overall the book gets two stars for plot, but I'll add an extra for the great audio narration which kept me listening to the end.

The Boss Who Stole Christmas, Book 1
This novella was my favorite out of the 3 sister's stories. The Boss who stole Christmas is about Holly and her Grinch of boss Nick. Nick is Holly's boss that she can't stand with a passion. She feels that Nick is the Grinch that is trying to steal her Christmas when he makes her go on a business trip to Germany for research. However this business trip is about to turn both of lives upside down and it all starts on the balcony of a church. Talk about a one way ticket to the naughty list.
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, Book 2
This book is about Holly's sister Ginger. If you've read The Boss who stole Christmas you know that Ginger is in the Reindeer Falls Gingerbread baking contest and is going against her celebrity crush Keller James. Ginger has promised herself that she needs to stay away from all distractions and that includes Keller. That however is easier said than done when Keller doesn't pull any punches when trying to get closer to Ginger. This story was just so cute.
The One Night Stand Before Christmas, Book 3
The one night stand before Christmas is Noel's story. This story had me cracking up. I mean come on.... a one night stand with Santa and a case of mistaken identity, you can't go wrong her.

However this business trip is about to turn both of lives upside down and it all starts on the balcony of a church. Talk about a one way ticket to the naughty list.
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, Book 2
This book is about Holly's sister Ginger. If you've read The Boss who stole Christmas you know that Ginger is in the Reindeer Falls Gingerbread baking contest and is going against her celebrity crush Keller James. Ginger has promised herself that she needs to stay away from all distractions and that includes Keller. That however is easier said than done when Keller doesn't pull any punches when trying to get closer to Ginger. This story was just so cute.
The One Night Stand Before Christmas, Book 3
The one night stand before Christmas is Noel's story. This story had me cracking up. I mean come on.... a one night stand with Santa and a case of mistaken identity, you can't go wrong her.

Como primer contacto con la autora ha estado bien para saber qué esperar.
En general me ha gustado, es una historia muuuuuy navideña y todos los detalles lo he disfrutado. Tiene tres historias cortas y mientras que la primera me ha gustado bastante, las otras dos se hacían más repetivas respecto a personajes y había mucho insta por ahí. Pero igualmente ha estado bien, ha sido lo que esperaba y NAVIDAAAAAAAAAD. Me encanta Reindeer Falls ♥

You guys, this book had me dying laughing! In the first one, The Boss Who Stole Christmas, it started with all of her excuses to try to get out of going out of town with her boss! Including her made up boyfriend, Santana. And then, oh my gosh, Holly's advent calendar! Not countdown to dick-mas as her sisters called it, but soon she was calling it. Plus the little snippet about if there was room at the Vagina Inn? I was laughing so hard! I have to say before I go any further, this was my favorite of all the stories, and I was a little disappointed we didn't get as much with Holly in the other two stories, although it makes sense since they were all taking place pretty much over the same few weeks, and Holly was in Nuremberg with Nick for a week of that time.
I have to say I liked the name of the character in the second book, If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, the best, Ginger Spice. We got a tiny bit of a glimpse of this story in the first book. While this story I didn't love as much as the first one, this is the story that convinced me to reach out and purchase the anthology with all three stories from the author. You see, there are many different baked goods discussed in this story, I mean it is about a baking contest. And I wanted to have the recipes! When I reached out to the author about it, she said that I needed the actual written copy, because obviously they won't put recipes in an audiobook. Yeah, yeah, I could have just purchased the ebook, but no, I want a physical copy if I'm going to buy a book for recipes. The other thing I loved about Ginger, besides the yummy sounding baked goods, was her adorable way of cursing. I tend to do that a lot, not that I never use the actual bad words, but for the longest time I didn't, and I still don't feel right using that kind of language in front of people, I'm guessing it's my education career.
I also liked Noel's story, The One Night Stand Before Christmas, because she had some great quotes that totally are my kind of quotes. The being alone for a long time, being the oldest, etc. It was fun getting to hear a little bit about the other sisters, just like the second book, we got more of just Noel and Ginger, because as I mentioned, Holly was out of the country. The one night stand was perfect. Even though Noel wasn't quite sure about Teddy, I was pretty sure of who he was when she met him. But I didn't see the name thing the way it turned out. I also loved that the elderly lady Noel was trying to set up was kind of playing her. The limited edition coupon bit was hilarious!
Overall, all three books were hilarious, you can see even though I might not have given them all 5 stars, the other two were 4.5.

This collection comprises 3 very short novellas with each story being more contrived as the book progresses. It was okay-ish. Not exciting, not funny, just okay. *shrugs*

3.5 🌟
Esta es la primera vez que leo a la autora. Había oído maravillas de ella y estaba en mi lista de pendientes, pero no fue hasta que durante mi última compra literaria recordé enamorarme de esta recopilación navideña que decidí lanzarme de una vez. Es decir... ¿quién puede resistirse a este libro con esa portada? Ya os digo que yo, no. Llamadme superficial si queréis... pero me encantan las historias navideñas y esta portada me prometía justamente eso.
Sabía, por la nota de prensa de la editorial cuando se publicó, que es una recopilación de tres historias cortas que nos hablan de tres hermanas que residen en pequeño pueblo llamado Reindeer Falls. No es un secreto que mi relación con las historias cortas es agridulce, me suele costar meterme en ellas y considero que los autores tienen que poner un esfuerzo extra para que funcionen.
Con todo, he de decir que la experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Siendo como son historias cortas, sus tramas sin sencillas y van directas al grano, pero no en el mal sentido. Funcionan bien, h en gran parte es gracias a la narrativa de la autora, que es divertida, alocada y desvergonzada. Me he reído mucho y me he quedado con ganas de leer más cosas suyas, así que no os extrañe ver más de ella por aquí
Ahora, os hablaré un poquito más específicamente de cada relato. ¿Listos?
El jefe que robó la Navidad
Este primer relato nos habla de la hermana mediana, Holly, una auténtica friki de la Navidad. La pobre tiene que soportar diariamente a su Grinch particular, su nuevo jefe. Nick es perfecto en todos los sentidos, excepto por su aire gruñón y su actitud con Holly. Todo cambiará entre ellos, sin embargo, durante un viaje de trabajo a Núremberg.
Argumentalmente no puedo contar mucho más sin destripar el relato. Contad con que cada uno son 100 páginas, lo que significa que hay tiempo justo para desarrollar un romance divertido y bien escrito sin entrar en grandes profundidades.
Si os gusta en ambiente navideño en las historias, esta no os decepcionará. Las descripciones de Núremberg, la visita al mercado navideño y la misma Holly con su pasión por estas fechas son la mezcla perfecta para introducirnos de lleno en esta festividad. Casi te dan ganas de ponerte un villancico de fondo mientras lees.
Si le das una galleta de jengibre a un idiota
Para mí, de entrada este relato ya tenía potencial por lo que descubrimos de Ginger y Keller durante el primero. Ginger es una apasionada repostera que suena con abrir su propia tienda en su pequeño pueblo, y un concurso nacional emitido desde Reindeer Falls en el que tiene la oportunidad de participar es su oportunidad de oro.
Sus expectativas se truncan cuando descubre que algunos de los competidores son reconocidos chefs... Y lo peor, uno de ellos es un atractivo británico con un acento tan sexi que la desarma.
Pensé después de lo mucho que disfruté del primer relato, que los demás no me gustarían tengo. Pero esto era precisamente lo que buscaba al leer un libro navideño. Es de esas historias de amor navideñas que te calientan por dentro. Ginger es adorable y Keller es un auténtico encanto. He disfrutado su historia de principio a fin... ¡Y lo que me he reído con ellos!
El rollo de una noche antes de Navidad
Este probablemente sea el relato que menos me ha gustado, pero porque, en realidad, es el más corto de los tres y, en consecuencia, me ha resultado algo escaso. La historia, en sí, me ha parecido desternillante. Aquí tenemos a Noel, la hermana mayor de las tres Winters... ¡y tiene un rollo de una noche con Papá Noel! En el momento en el que descubrí la premisa, quise leerlo.
El relato añade alguna que otra vuelta de tuerca para añadir interéis, pero, como os digo, es algo más cortito que los otros y en lugar de 100 páginas aprox. tiene unas 72. A priori puede no parecer mucho, pero en cuestión de relatos 20-30 páginas son muchas.
Con esto no digo que me haya disgustado, me he reído un montón (puede que con el que más, porque tiene unos chistes navideños de lo más hilarantes y una confusión muy loca que hace de la historia de Teddy y Noel toda una experiencia), pero habría agradecido que la longitud fuese la misma que la de los otros dos relatos.
Al final del libro la autora inlcuye una serie de recetas navideñas que pienso probar, es un extra agradable e inesperado que me ha encantado.
Resumiendo, mi primera experiencia con Jana Aston ha sido muy agradable y no pienso esperar mucho para comprar otro de sus libros. Me han gustado especialmente los personajes, cómo la relación entre las tres parejas es tan dulce, sexi y sana al mismo tiempo. Me ha cautivado la narrativa divertida y canalla de la autora y cómo de bien ha sabido sacarle el partido a la jerga navideña para darle un toque extra. Este libro es todo lo que buscaba al escoger un libro de temática navideña y os lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.

My Spoiler Free Review
Format Read: Unabridged Audiobook (Audible)
Narrated by: Erin Mallon
Series: Reindeer Falls, Book 1-3
Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins
Release date: 12-05-19
Writing Style: 1st Person Point of View (Holly Winter's; Noel Winter's; Ginger Winter's)
Publisher: Rutherford Press
Ratings
Story - 4.25 stars (Book 1); 5 stars (Book 2); 4.5 stars (Book 3)
The Boss Who Stole Christmas (Book 1) was a cute and quick start to the incredible timing of all 3 quirky and talented Winter sisters falling in love concurrently in Reindeer Falls with equally interesting and attractive heroes.
I think If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread (Book 2) was my top favorite of the 3 love stories because Keller James was British. I'm a sucker for a British hero, ha ha!
I also loved that Ginger's love story, The One Night Stand Before Christmas (Book 3) , covered a longer duration and also included an update on her sisters' love stories.
This was such a cute, light-heated, and thoroughly entertaining Christmas themed novella bundle, especially narrated by Erin Mallon, one of my very top favorite narrators. I never know exactly how to rate novellas since they are so much shorter than your average full length novel.
Performance by Erin Mallon - 5 stars!
Erin Mallon always knocks the ball out of the park for me. She has great timing and delivery especially for humorous moments. I have yet to be disappointed with her vocal acting and characterizations. She made each of the sisters' love story distinct with their own personality highlighted.
Bravo yet again!
Final Thoughts:
I really need to discuss the 3 stories with my book buddy reading partner, Beth S. who also read the audiobook format. Was she as charmed and entertained all throughout as I was? I'm curious to see what she liked or disliked if anything and which love story was her favorite.

Three 5⭐ holiday treats in one. You can't beat that! Jana Aston's books always put a smile on my face. Like a nice mug of gluhwein. Three HEAs for three merry sisters. These stories are really sweet. Like a mug of gluhwein. But in classic Jana style the sexiness is turned WAY UP. Super steamy. Like a mug of gluhwein. The narration is superb and these audiobooks are the perfect accompaniment to holiday errands and bustling about in your car. Unlike gluhwein. So if you're looking for an audiobook that's better than gluhwein to make your holidays merry, look no further!
**Cut to Jana Aston using "Better than gluhwein!" as her paperback cover review. #believeittoachieveit

3.5 stars for this series of novellas. They are all really cute and sweet, but I wish they had a bit more substance. The first was my favorite but the second two were just a little more “love at first sight” than I typically prefer. Still, these are a fun holiday read. Like a hallmark movie with the sex scenes. 🥳
I am also a little obsessed with listening for all the references to Frankenmuth, MI. Now I’m dying to go back there and have a chicken dinner.

Super fun and quick Christmas romances!

Son tres relatos navideños preciosos. Me he reído y me he enamorado de los protagonistas, Jana siempre crea historias que combinan amor, risas y momentos hot a la perfección, y con estas historias y su toque navideño me ha enamorado.
December 19, 2019
Q: Is there anything better than a collection of stories by one of your favorite answers?
A: No!
Jana Aston’s “The Reindeer Falls” Collection contains three fantastic novella length stories featuring the Winter sisters. Each story is fantastic and features a sweet, sassy, spunky and sexy heroine and their hot, sexy, alpha male counterparts. A pleasure to read from start to finish.
“The Boss Who Stole Christmas” had me rolling on the floor. Holly is a cracker and every thought, word and or action that she had, had me laughing out loud. Meanwhile Nick is strong, sexy, bossy and Grinchy - make me swoon. Their chemistry is hot and their happily ever after sexily adorable. Loved this short story.
“If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread “ is another laugh out loud swoon fest. Ginger is Hilarious with a capital ‘H’ and Keller is to die for, when these two bakers meet it is love at first cookie. Their attraction jumps off the page and you can’t help but fall in love with them, their baking shenanigans their Christmas banter.
“The One Night Stand Before Christmas “ is Noel and Theo’s love story. It’s a case of at the right place at the right time for both of them. Their chemistry is off the charts and gets them placed permanently on Santa’s naughty list and what an utterly amazing place it is to be. A fitting end to the Winter sister’s trilogy.
TBR this fantastic Holiday Collection and enjoy the magic that is Reindeer Falls. Merry Christmas everyone. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review).

Tres historias curiosas en donde el deseo más grande de Navidad es el amor en todo su esplander. Tres galanes especiales harán su aparición en un derribo total ante estas guerreras navideñas que entre frases graciosas y su inocente aunque lujuriosa mente les haga jugarretas y te hagan disfrutar de una divertida y obra erótico navideña sin abusar de las escenas de cama, todo llevado con buen gusto en una obra para entretener y que de verdad hace de NAVIDAD EN REINDEER FALLS ideal si tu también estás buscando historias para estas fiestas.
Jana Aston me ha ganado, si siempre voy a ella cuando necesito leer, y mirar que estoy algo enfadada con el género erótico que últimamente me cansa, con esta mujer no me es posible, incluso entre sus escenas calenturientas encuentras momentos que te parten de risa, lo que la hace una autora de agua fresca por si te está pasando lo mismo que a mi. ¡Feliz lectura!

En general, no me ha gustado 😱 sé que son relatos cortos y tienen que suceder rápido pero ¿tan rápido?
Me ha sorprendido que es una novela tirando a “erotica” y eso sí que no me lo esperaba para nada.
El relato de Holly, me pareció surrealista a más no poder.
El relato de Noel, aburrido, predecible y de nuevo surrealista.
Pero el relato de Ginger me ha gustado muchísimo, típica historia mágica navideña que a mí me ha conquistado, también sucede rápido y demás pero tiene esa esencia de comedia romántica de navidad que busco en este tipo de libros con temática.
Es cierto que se lee en un suspiro, aún que en partes me ha costado avanzar, a pesar de ser una lectura bastante simple, porque no conectaba con la historia.
Yo no os lo recomiendo mucho ya que es un libro de 3 relatos y solo le ha gustado uno, pero claro, para gustos los colores.
