Jeremy is a firefighter but he also looks out for the older members of the community. In this case he has been out to this house several times this week. This particular time he goes to the house because of an oven fire. When he gets there it is because Bella is in town and she was trying to fix a nice dinner for her grandfather.

Really enjoyed the story. Think you will too.

This anthology of novellas by talented authors is perfect not only during the holiday season, but anytime of the year. All are touching and uplifting .
Amongst my favorites are these, both part of various series, and wonderful stories.

WE WISH YOU A HAPPY EVER AFTER
by Elena Aitken
This one is part of the author’s Ever After series in the town of Glacier Falls.
Jeremy Davis is a firefighter who met Bella Burton in his youth. She was the granddaughter of the town’s Santa Claus who would spent the summers in town. He had a terrible crush on her but it was thirteen years ago when he last saw her.
Imagine his surprise when during an emergency call he finds the adult version of Bella in her grandfather’s home.
Bella is an up and coming singer at a crossroads in her career. When things seem to be going well between them, Bella must decide what she wants in life. Will the magic of Christmas bring them together, or will it be only a memory?

A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS
by Kait Nolan
Once again, the author gives us another wonderful and touching story in her Wishful Romance series.
This one belongs to Delta Force medic Ryan Malone and interior designer Hannah Wheeler.
Hannah moved to Wishful after an accident in Atlanta to stay with her sister. during her recovery. Doing better and hoping to restore her career, she is working as a waitress at the local cafe. When she sees through the window a man that looks like a homeless vet, she invites him in for coffee and pays for his meal. Little does she know that he just going back from overseas with the intent of checking up on an adopted elderly “uncle”.
As their friendship develops Ryan’s walls begin to come down and he starts questioning his future . A reality of many deployed troops experience.
The plot was engaging, the characters complex and though at times heartbreaking it was also a heartwarming story.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love anthologies because the are the perfect introduction to authors you don’t know and secondary characters with authors you do. Since most of these authors are new to me, I can’t wait to explore their back catalogue and continue with the characters. Also, this is the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit.

One note is for the Bella Andre story. I love this author and have read most of her books. If you’ve read the Sullivan series then this fits between the California and Seattle family so you’re backtracking. If you haven’t read the series you get a great intro into her style and you have so many books in the series to explore.

Received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

[Brandy Barber · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has a lot of great Authors in it and all short Christmas love stories that are each great. There are some that have you laughing some crying and some a little of both. I was a mess getting through each of these books. LOL. I love a good holiday read. I love when they are short because getting busy and not finishing a story is not how I like to do my holiday. I am going to tell you, you will fall in love with each one of these stories. If some of the authors are new to you don't worry. They will not disappoint. Pick this up for the holidays. You will love it.

[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This anthology is great for those days when you don’t have a ton of time to read but want some holiday magic. Many of the novellas connected to series I had already read, which made it feel like coming home for the holidays with some beloved characters and settings. Of those, my favorite was Wishes and Kisses by JH Croix. Getting to revisit characters from her Into the Fire series and Alaska again warmed my heart and the story brought some heat too.
This anthology is great addition to the holiday reads!
I received an ARC and voluntarily provided my honest review.

[Hijabi_booklover · Rating 5 out of 5]

Home for the Holidays is a must have stocking stuffer this year for all those bookworms and romance lovers in your family. It’s a collection of 10 novellas and each one is a separate author. From the very first page to the last you are transported to each and every story individually. You will feel like you are actually in the story and you are one of the characters. Choosing a favorite, with all 10 of these novels good luck, each author has their own flair and finesse within their writing style. I will definitely be purchasing this novella for the books lovers in my life.

[Lyne Carroll · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exactly what I needed to start my Christmas/winter-themed reading for this year.
10 very well written stories filled with joy, love, a bit of steam, lost friendships found again, not much drama and a few second chance roms.
Made me smile, laugh and swoon more often than not.
Higly recommend reading this book with a warm drink and blanket in front of the fireplace ;)

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and reviewing it voluntarily.

[Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of romance stories taking place at Christmas.
A bargain price for this anthology. If you like romantic hea this is for you.
An enjoyable easy read.
The well written stories, all take place in small towns in America. The characters are very likeable and it's great to see them get their hea.
Three stories stand out from the rest. They are by Elena Aitken, Kait Nolan and Cota Seton. These were my favourites, but they were all good reads.
A happy feel good read for Christmas.

[Nicole Guerrero · Rating 5 out of 5]

10 great short stories by 10 great authors. All were very entertaining. But my favorite author, from my favorite series the Sullivans also has a short story. I love Colbie and Noah and it was great seeing Mia and Rafe before there happily ever afters. It's a very cute story. Looking forward to reading more from all the authors. Definitely recommend and it's a great way to get to know authors that you haven't read before.

I received a Advanced Readers Copy and I'm leaving a voluntary review.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this anthology, for the most part. I’m not a big fan of ebooks, so that’s one reason this collection wasn’t way up there for me. And this anthology has more stories than I could wrap my mind around, as a collection. But these comments are essentially personal to me. The stories themselves were entertaining and had good holiday vibes. And I am pursuing other works by many of the included authors, which is one of the reasons I read anthologies to start with.

[NanaX8 · Rating 5 out of 5]

From Christmas wishes to 2nd chances to Christmas surprises these wonderfully delightful and steamy Christmas love stories will certainly warm anyone's heart this holiday season. Each and every author brings such love to the table you'll never want it to end. Loved this awesome holiday cheer!!❤❤❤❤❤ I volunteered an honest opinion for this book.

[Kim Ruiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a wonderful group of Christmas novellas from a group of great authors. This group has everything, wishes, second chances, fun, heart, heat and humor. I have read all the stories and definitely enjoyed everyone. This has something for everyone. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review

[Jo FLGirl25 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful Holiday Reads! These authors have done an amazing job of writing short stories that are crafted to allow us to enter their worlds and give us an escape into love during the holidays. Always enjoy the glimpse of other characters from the related books, rather like running into an old friend!

[Jenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great collection of stories. The author that I’m most familiar with is Cora Seton, so I went to her book first, The Cowboy’s Christmas Bride. It was a fun story with a check-in from most of the other Chance Creek Cowboy series couples. If the other stories are as great as this one it’s going to be a fun holiday for my reading.

[Robert J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love brings you home

I loved all the stories in this book
All the different authors wrote different stories about love and happy ending
I already read books from some of the authors but now I have more to read.
Thanks for all your hard work bringing happiness and joy to myself and everyone else who reads your books.

[Kirstie Ibrahim · Rating 4 out of 5]

We Wish You A Happy Ever After by Elena Aitken: A sweet love story for Bella and Jeremy. I can't wait for more about their story.

One Perfect Night by Bella Andre: This was an ok short story but things just happened way too fast. Would make a good longer story with more guts.

Wishes and Kisses by J.H. Croix: Loved this short story but as always I'd like more. I knew the setting and other characters from other stories so that was good.

Come Away With Me by Erika Kelly: This was such a sweet story, full of emotion. Just beautiful.

Must Love Alligators by Erin Nicholas: I just LOVED this. Another fun story to the series

A Lot Like Christmas by Kait Nolan: LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!! The Sergeant and the Elf Girl, what a wonderful story. Hannah is such a sweet loving character and well suited to Ryan's army medic caring soul. This story was full of love, warmth, caring and Christmas spirit.

Missy’s Wish by Katy Regnery: I did enjoy this but just felt it needed to be more than a novella. Such a sad story but with a bright future and I just wanted a bit more depth.

A Pride Christmas by Jill Sanders: Aww this would make the perfect Christmas movie! The Pride we know and love along with two new characters passing through town. A love story for two people that have been waiting years for each other.

The Cowboy Christmas Bride by Cora Seton: LOVED this! I've read most of the other books in the series but not all of them. I was happy to get to find out what happened with Cole and Summer. I liked how the story also revisited all the other couples that we've grown to know and love through the series.

Unbreak My Heart by Melanie Shawn:

[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This anthology was filled with standalone stories from some of my absolute favorite authors. They are part of one of each author’s worlds, but the stories were easy to read without knowing all the background characters. Merry Christmas!

[Tammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series of books - Christmas Themes are the best, this time of year.

Congratulations to all the contributing authors, this was fantastic, I didn't want it to end.

Merry Christmas!!!

Multiple Christmas stories

This was a fun collection of different Christmas stories written by several authors, some of whom I was familiar with. There were different writing styles and plot scenarios that kept this compilation fun and interesting.
