Cozy Christmas Capers
A Pinch of Mystery
A Dash of Romantic Comedy
A Whole Lot of Christmas Joy
Room at the Christmas Commune: When Jenessa Jones stumbled upon a mugging in a New York City alleyway, she didn't stop to think about the consequences of helping...she only wanted to save the woman being threatened. Little did she know her actions would cause her to be whisked away two days before Christmas to the victim's house in Woodstock for protection. But what did she expect when the victim's son was a New York City police detective? Can Jenessa survive a trip to Woodstock with a woman who still lives in the 70s, her tough-as-nails, but oh-so-cute detective son, and a mess of wild animals who roam both inside and out? Oh, and let's not talk about the gang of bad guys heading straight for her. Someone pass the Christmas kale cookies...it's gonna be a wild ride.
A Stolen Christmas Miracle: When a wad of cash is stolen from the Christmas bake sale, director Charlotte Randalls and Colonel Jack Saunders pair up to figure out who the thief is. With only three suspects on their list, they assume it won't take too long. But they soon realize there is more at stake than just retrieving the stolen money. There is a need for true healing. And can one boy, desperate for a new home and a new toy, receive his Christmas wish?
A Murderous Christmas: Who knew going door to door to pick up canned goods would lead to a murder? Certainly not Gwen Lipscomb or Grandma Gertie. But that's exactly what happened! Good thing Brody Harper, the hunky policeman who lives next door to Grandma Gertie, was home and came over to secure the scene. As Gwen informs Brody of the two arguments she overheard regarding the murdered victim, she starts to unravel even more clues as to who might have killed the wealthy Mr. Yanezz. Can Gwen and Grandma Gertie figure out who the killer is before one or both of them end up being next?

Ms. St. James has written three very cute short cozy stories that are perfect for the holiday. Each mystery introduced engaging characters that I enjoyed meeting and would look forward to reading more about them if Ms. St. James decides to expand their stories into a series. A perfect holiday afternoon read.

Three heartwarming stories just in time for the holidays. Each story has a different approach due to Jenna's talent in crafting stories with unique storylines.
I truly enjoyed this novella. I loved how she weaved a cozy mystery into a Christmas story without taking anything away from the plot. All three are "feel good" stories to warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. Celebrate the holidays while reading a cozy novella.

4.7 stars for Cozy Christmas Capers (a real charmer).
For only three short stories, you will find lots of heart in this collection. The stories are very sensitive and realistic. The characters are too! I enjoyed all the characters, but the snarky ones are my favorite (like old hippies and old Grandmas). Make certain to catch this collection of short stories...well worth your time!

Only one winner
These are truly MINI-novellas! The first two stories didn't hold my interest at all, but the third, A Murderous Christmas, is quite entertaining. The characters are likeable and the mystery is composed well; it would make a nice prequel for a series that I would read!

These are the perfect set of Christmas cozies to warm the heart. Each has its own set of characters and they are very different. The quirky characters are fun and well written.

Leaves too much out and made each story too short. Ending to quickly it’s like you are thinking where is the rest of the story
