Rate this book
Two full-length Christmas romances to snuggle up with and swoon over. Both are full of heart, humor, hope, and all the magic of Christmas, wrapped up in one holiday-filled collection.

Christmas at the End of Main Street:

All either of them wants for Christmas are some jingle bells, to deck the halls, and for everyone to stop finding them dates. This Christmas, Macie and Aaron are teaming up to make everyone believe they're dating each other so they'll quit trying to line them up with others. But as this fake relationship starts to feel real, can they overcome the obstacles in their way?

A Kiss at Christmas:

Kelli wants a perfect little Christmas. Parker just wants to ignore it. Both believe they’re going to be spending the holidays alone. Until the owner of the company they both work for—a man who has a secret knack for matchmaking—invites a dozen employees to celebrate Christmas on the beach. Can they get past their workplace rivalry and take a chance that might just be imperfectly perfect?

This is a great Christmas novel set from Meg Easton. It's a set of 2 books from 2 separate series. They are low drama and gentle reads, which is great for the Christmas season if you're looking for light-hearted Christmas romance.

Need two great stories wrapped up into one book? Looking for some Christmas themed books to get you in a holly jolly mood? Then I encourage you to pick up a copy of Stockings, Snow and Mistletoe, which is also available on Kindle Unlimited if you're a KU user.

Christmas at the End of Main Street follows the story of Macie and Aaron. Macie wants to take off time from dating but people keep trying to set her up. Aaron is a teacher whose students set him up an online dating profile to find him a wife. She wants to get married someday and he doesn't. They strike up a partnership to pretend to date each other. This way Aaron's students will think he's found love and Macie can take a break from actually dating while still not disappointing her family. I mean, they're not right for each other anyway. Or are they?

I enjoy fake relationship tropes so this right up my alley. I love watching the couple fall in love without realizing and boy did that happen here.i have read this whole series before but it has been sometime so I think this story reads just fine as a standalone book. I absolutely adored Macie's family tradition with the stockings! It's super precious and you'll just have to read to see.

The second story is called A Kiss at Christmas. When Kelli and Parker are left without anywhere spend Christmas (unless it's done all alone) due to a variety of circumstances, they both find themselves invited on an all expenses paid week long trip hosted by the co-founders of the company they work for. They travel across country with 10 other coworkers from different departments across the company. Parker just wants to forget Christmas, having recently been dumped by his fiancee who he was supposed to marry close to Christmas. Since the trip is to Myrtle Beach, there's no way that can feel Christmasy. Kelli feels like she is losing her dad to a new family after having lost her mom and is desperate for a sense of belonging that she feels this trip will guarantee.

I absolutely adored the chemistry between Kelli and Parker. They were so adorable and oftentimes awkward, but I think that's what made it so great. Their pranks and jokes felt so lighthearted and cute. Also, the epilogue to this story was everything I could have asked for. I hadn't read the book before this one and didn't feel lost at all so this could also be read as a standalone.

Stockings, Snow and Mistletoe is a collection featuring two festive holiday reads by Meg Easton. These are both parts of other series but can absolutely be enjoyed as standalones without any issue. (I had personally not read any of the other books in either series and enjoyed them just the same!)

Christmas at the End of Main Street is a super cute holiday read. Macie and Aaron both have meddlesome people in their lives who want to see them with someone... but both have their reasons for not wanting to be in a relationship. To get people to back off with their matchmaking ways, they decide to pretend to be a couple. I absolutely love fake dating, of course... and I love meddlesome family members/friends just as much! In this one, it was actually Aaron's high school students who were doing the meddling and even signing him up for a dating app, which I thought was a really fun little spin. Macie's family was the absolute best and I loved seeing all their holiday festivities! I couldn't get enough of these two together and really enjoyed their story.

A Kiss at Christmas is a workplace rivalry to more... with a beach vacation thrown into the mix. And it was so much fun! Right from the start, I absolutely adored these two with their rivalry and pranks towards one another. The cat prank? Yeah, definitely had me laughing out loud! But as the story goes on and we get to see other sides of their stories and the baggage they were carrying, I found myself rooting for them even more. They certainly have their fair share of challenges to work through, but it was balanced well with humor and holiday fun that I couldn't help but enjoy!

Both books are quick and festive reads, perfect for the busy holiday season. They are closed-door romances with no language. If you're looking for sweet holiday reads, this collection is definitely a must read.

**I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All opinions are my own.

I recently had the pleasure of diving into a delightful collection of Christmas romcoms that truly encapsulated the festive spirit and left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. The two books in this collection were not only great fun to read but also managed to evoke genuine emotions, with one of them even bringing tears to my eyes.
I related a lot to Macie and Aarons maybe because my life is mirroring Macie's more than I would like to admit. But this on brought out a lot of emotions in me. Aaron needed to find a family that he could count on and there isn't a better family than the Zimmerman's for that. He didn't think that families also wanted to stick together and help each other. Macie need to stop trying to find a person who checked all of her boxes and just live for a little bit even if the guy does check all the boxes.
Next up is Kelli and Parker who just might get a second chance at love. They both work at the same company and when they first started working together two years ago, they went on a date. On that first date everything went wrong from credit cards getting declined at dinner to food poisoning. But when they both go on the company Christmas retreat will they be able to make it work the second time? This book has lots of fun and laughs all while getting you into the spirit of Christmas.
This Christmas RomCom Collection is a must-read for anyone looking to experience the magic of the holiday season through the lens of love, laughter, and a touch of heartfelt emotion.

Christmas at the End of Main Street
I really enjoyed this story. Macie decides she not date for 6 months and then meets Aaron who has decided not to ever marry so they decide to “fake date” so people will leave them alone! Both characters were so fun and interesting! I’ve never read this series so I didn’t know anything about the people or town but now I want to read more! Macie and Aaron’s story was delightful!
A Kiss at Christmas
This is the first book I've read by this author and it wont be the last! I very much enjoyed Kelli and Parker's story! They are co-workers who have history - both good and bad! They went on a date a couple years ago and it didn't go well. They have since both had serious relationships with other people and broken up so they are leery to dip their toes in the dating pool again. They are constantly playing pranks against each other in the workplace AND vying for the same parking place. This is a little humorous but it got a little out of control in my opinion! They get chosen to go to this all-expenses paid retreat with their company. I was amazed by this retreat! I WANTED TO GO ON IT MYSELF! Sign me up! I couldn't believe all that was included - just wow!!! IT's held at Christmas for those who don't have a place to go for the holidays and the CEO choses who he wants to invite. Kelli and Parker are chosen and it's attraction between them all over again! They are so sweet together but of course, they have issues that have to be dealt with.

2 great books make a wonderful collection
This collection takes two of Meg Easton’s books and joins them in a collection that you will enjoy.
Christmas at the End of Main
Macie, the owner of Paws and Relax, and Aaron, a high school teacher, facing the same problem – matchmakers. Both are feeling overwhelmed by friends, family and even students trying to line them up with someone. Both are tired of the blind date scene and ready to leave it all behind, at least for a while. They decide they can do each other a favor by pretending to be together so others will leave them alone. But what will happen may not be what they planned. Very fun.
A Kiss at Christmas
Kelli and Parker both work for the same company in the same building and competing against each other, even for the best parking spot. Pulling pranks on each other was just part of it all. Now Kelli has just found out that her father will be leaving her alone while he goes with his new wife and her daughters on a Christmas trip. Parker has just had his fiancée break off their engagement, leaving him alone for Christmas. Now they have both been invited on the company’s Christmas retreat for employees who would be alone for Christmas and how do you say no to the big boss. However, it was at a beach resort so it couldn’t be too bad. Right? What happens when two rivals have to spend a week together? Fun!

This review is based on the story Christmas at the End of Main Street that is inside this set:
Macie Zimmerman is living her dream: small-town business owner on Main Street, Paws and Relax is succeeding, and she gets to hang out with animals all day. Everything is going right except the one thing she wants most- a husband and family. The whole town is out to find her a husband too. It is all to much. Enter Aaron Hall who loves teaching his high schoolers but after past failed relationships he is sworn to never date again. With his high schoolers and her small town friends trying to find both a match these two pair up to get a break from it all. As they enjoy the Christmas season as each other's fake dates, what will they do when everything starts feeling a little too real?

Meg Easton has perfected small town U.S.A. in her Nestled Hollow romance series. With beautiful traditions, citizens who all know each other, and small businesses, the romance has the perfect place to spark. Macie is a well-developed character with small flaws yet a charming personality and Aaron Hall is the swoon-worthy high school teacher that every teenage girl longs after. The story moved quickly and this was such a fun read. Perfect tension matched with sweet, sweet kisses. This is definitely sweet romance.

I’m a big fan of the way Meg Easton writes her books. They are just like Hallmark movies and they make me happy. And this one has two books in it, so it’s doubly good!

Christmas at the End of Main Street features Macie and Aaron. This book made me smile so much. I loved the chemistry between these two characters. But they had both sworn off dating and marriage. So, of course, they team up and decide to fake date each other. This brings so much hilarity to the plot. I loved it!

I loved both of the characters. Macie is the kind of person to do anything for anyone. She’s constantly trying to make people happy with her dogs. Aaron is a teacher. I really liked the way he was with the kids he taught. And it was so funny when they decided they were going to help him get married before the end of the school year. I also loved that these two learned a lot during their time together.

Then we’ve got A Kiss at Christmas. Kelli and Parker work together. And they are constantly pranking each other. That was so funny! They are each going to be alone for Christmas. But they get invited on a company retreat. And thrown together.

I loved the way these two fell for each other. Even though they thought they’d already given the other a chance. This was a sweet story that I loved!

I loved both of these, go grab your copy!

It is a nice read for a quiet evening by the fire. Add some hot cocoa and maybe a little Christmas music in the background and you've got a perfect evening.

Christmas at the End of Main: This is a cute, clean, Christmas story. I liked both of the characters and the relationship between them. Macie and Aaron were pretty fun. I also liked Macie's family traditions for Christmas. Pretty fun stuff. As a mom I would love to have my kids all living by me and be close by the grandkids etc so that made me a little jealous. I also thought the town's traditions were fun.

A Kiss at Christmas: Clean sweet romance. I enjoyed the main characters' silent rivalry at work carried out by pranks against each other. I'm not sure I'd be clever enough to think of them or brave enough to carry them out... In essence this is an enemies to love story. I found the boss's ability to play matchmaker interesting.
Both of the main characters were insecure but for different reasons and each had to overcome that insecurity to have their happily ever after. There were good reminders for all of us in the book about accepting flaws and trust etc...

No sex, language or violence

I did not realize that when I picked up this book that I would be getting 2 fun, Christmas romances stories for the price of one!

Book 1 is a super sweet, Christmas romance with a an opposites attract fake dating agreement that makes this Christmas way more exciting for both our main characters!

"You want to get married and I never want to, so obviously the two of us would never work out as a couple. That's what makes this so perfect. No romantic feelings will get i the way--we'll just be two teammates working together for a common goal."

Book 2 is a fun and exciting workplace, rivals romance with a hint of second chance! A Christmas work retreat brings along some great forced proximity for these two and I couldn't get enough of this one.

'...she watched so she could interpret his reaction. The muscles in his shoulders twitched and his arms were rigid. She chuckled. He looked properly annoyed. Score one for team Kelli and Valeria.'

This combo was a fun surprise and should be on your holiday wishlist!

Thanks to the author for the copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

Both books contain real life elements in content with family drama in all shapes and sizes, previous bad relationships and both contain kisses only.

Book one in the collection
Christmas at the End of Main. I adore Meg Easton's fictional town of Nestled Hollow. This is a superb fake romance. I appreciated the pact they made to not fall in love. Both Macie and Aaron are tired of being set up on blind dates that go nowhere fast. This an exceptional story of friendship that built into something more. This story is full of fun Christmas traditions, and remembering that family and love is what Christmas is all about.

Book Two: A Kiss at Christmas
Parker and Kelli are rivals at work and are both without anywhere to go for the Christmas holidays, enter two very generous bosses that offer to send them, and other employees on a tropical holiday retreat. This is a fabulous clean romance read. I appreciated that as Parker and Kelli get to know each other, they understand and respect each other. They find strengths in each other. This respect turns to friendship and then more.
This was a fun read. The romance was clean, and the humor made me chuckle.

Both stories were excellent reads that helped to get me in the mood for Christmas. I recommend these books to anyone who loves a clean HEA story.

These two stories put a smile on my face with their sweet love stories full of Christmas cheer.

Macie and Aaron's story (Christmas at the End of Main Street) is part of the Nestled Hollow Romance series. I adored this story and Macie and Aaron. My favorite part was the story of the stockings. What a profound tradition. Fair warning: reading this book will make you want to read the rest of this series!

Kelli and Parker's story (A Kiss at Christmas) is part of The Royal Palm Resort series. This story was so much fun. Can you imagine dreading being alone at Christmas only for this amazing opportunity to be presented to you. I loved the bosses and how much they cared about their employees and how much time and energy they put in to making this tradition come alive.

If you haven't read any of Meg Easton's books, this is a perfect way to dip your toe in and try out 2 books for the price of 1. Both books can absolutely stand alone from their respective series, but there are cameos from past (and probably future) MCs.

I listened to the audiobook version of these two wonderful Christmas stories and the narrators were fantastic.

In Second Chance on the Corner of Main Street, we meet Whitney and Eli. They both had a lot to learn about themselves, even though they're both successful business owners, and older than usual, which I also loved. We're never too old to learn and figure out why we do some of the things we do and change. Loved that they figured it out and got their HEA!

In A Kiss At Christmas, we meet Parker and Kelli. Parker had to learn that he wasn't as bad as his ex made him out to be, it was really that she couldn't accept him as he was. Kelli had to learn that she wasn't the reason people left, that it was their decision, and independent of her as a person. They both had to learn that people make their own choices, and that others also have to live with the choices they made. Great book, and I loved that characters we met before were in this book, too.

I received a complimentary copy of this set, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.

This is a creatively crafted box set of two sweet romance Christmas stories and I loved them both. Meg's stories always feel like hugs. They just wrap around and make you feel good.
"Christmas At The End Of Main Street" is a story of two people destined to be together. You may need a couple of tissues. I actually cried over the building a gingerbread house scene. That's excellent writing if you can make me cry! I could feel her sorrow deep in my heart but not for long because this author has a gift for writing witty dialogue between her characters.
"A Kiss At Christmas" - I couldn't put down this charming holiday romance that included the importance of family. I especially liked the part about linking all the family Christmas stockings to one another to create an ancestry family tree of sorts. What a unique idea!
I received this copy free from the author and am under no obligation to leave a review. I thoroughly enjoyed this set and am freely sharing my opinion.

Christmas At The End Of Main
I truly enjoyed reading this book!
It's a charming, fun, hilarious
& moving Christmas romance.
I loved every page.
Macie, longs to be married & have kids.
But she's tired of going on awful 
blind dates.
Aaron, is the opposite. He never wants
to marry. He loves being a teacher
& his students.
After two chance meetings in one day,
is fate telling Macie & Aaron something.
A Kiss At Christmas
This is a sweet, funny & moving
Christmas romance. I enjoyed reading
it from the first page to the last.
Kelli & Parker, work together. There is
an attraction between them, but it
wasn't meant to be.
Their Christmas plans changed,
leaving them alone for the holiday.
But things might be looking up for
Kelli & Parker. Their bosses plan
something special for the employees
at Christmastime.

Christmas at the End of Main-5* This is one of the best fake relationship, clean romance stories I've read. From how they met to how they fall for one another and all their relationship hang-ups and everything in between is just the type of romance that will sweep you off your feet. Finding something they both were determined not to find was an eye opening experience for them both and inspiring to read.
A Kiss at Christmas-4* I enjoyed reading Kelli and Parker's story, through the hilarious mishaps, pranks and heartfelt circumstances. I think they are so much alike but they have to figure all that out and stirring up their relationship stuff and facing those emotions head on realistically is never easy. Thankfully they work for a great company, full of the joy of Christmas and excellent matchmaking.

A fun collection of Christmas stories! I loved that though these romances are swoony, they are sweet and clean!

Christmas at the End of Main Street was a great fake relationship story between two people who are tired of everyone bugging them about their dating life or lack thereof. Some sweet moments with family doing holiday traditions made this story extra special.

A Kiss at Christmas is a fun enemies-to-lovers story that had me laughing at the pranks between Parker and Kelli. Their relationship has lots of bumps but I loved reading their story and the epilogue was perfect.

Highly recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys clean, Christmas romance!

CHRISTMAS FUN

Christmas at the End of Main Street :-
This is a fun, full of love & laughter read. A fake relationship that really isn’t, as they enjoy themselves too much. A feel-good book that is thoroughly enjoyable, full of Christmas.

A Kiss at Christmas
This is the story of Kelli & Parker, two rivalling employees. Their boss sends them off on a company retreat for the Christmas holidays, along with some colleagues. There’s plenty of fun & games as they explore the activities & compete against each other. And is there romance for them, with each other? Read on

I highly recommend these fun stories for you to read

Christmas at the End:
I absolutely adored this fake relationship romance! The characters were amazing - both together and themselves working through their own issues and hang ups. This book has so much development of the characters and wisdom. Lots of fun times and family.

A Kiss at Christmas:
I loved this second book in the series. It was so different from the first one but just as good. I liked seeing the characters from the first one come back in this one too. I liked how our main characters both had insecurities that they had to work through and to learn to trust each other. It was a fun and sweet Christmassy book.

Sweet Holiday Fun

Macie and Aaron's story is part of the Zimmerman family and Main Street stories. I had already read a couple of those ones but happened to read Jocelyn and Marcus's story most recently. I love when characters have a fake relationship that turns into something more, and I am totally going to steal the stocking idea for my family!

Even though I loved the first book, Kelli and Parker's story was cute and funny (and may be one I reach to next Christmas time to escape the colder weather!). I stayed up much later than I should have to get to the end! This was definitely a second chance for them with that awful first date.

Loved both : )

Stockings, Snow, and Mistletoe is such a cute box set. The two stories it contains are lighthearted and fun, but still have characters with depth and relatable personalities.
Christmas at the end of Main Street was such a heartwarming read. I loved Aaron and Macie and the way their fake relationship turned into the real deal.
A Kiss at Christmas was definitely five stars. I loved the chemistry between Parker and Kelli and everything about their work history and relationship. The story was so fun to read and the supporting cast of characters just felt like friends you wanted to have.
Both stories are clean reads, with some mild kissing, but nothing more and no foul language.

This collection consists of two great books. They are both clean romance books that are both very funny. In the first book, "Christmas at the End of Main Street" Macie and Aaron have a fake relationship to stop the blind dates and set ups. I loved this story a lot. Meg Easton does a great job of adding humor into her books!

In the 2nd book, "A Kiss at Christmas" it is also funny. Love how the book starts out with Parker and Kelli "fighting" over a parking spot. These are both great books, and I would highly recommend this Christmas Romance Collection! Any book by Meg Easton you can't go wrong with- she is a great author!

Stocking, Snow and Mistletoe is a Christmas Romance Collection by Meg Easton. I found this 2 book collection to be enjoyable holiday romances. Christmas at the end of Main has Aaron and Macie meeting over ice cream..such fun. A Kiss at Christmas is Parker and Kelli's love story. Meg Easton has a God given talent to write outstanding books. Each of these books is wonderfully written with terrific characters and goof writing. I think that this collection is a great way to delve into holiday reading. I received an arc for free and am leaving my review voluntarily.

I loved Macie and Aaron's story. Macie and Aaron pretend to date to get their family and friends to stop setting them up over the holidays. I loved that Macie has 6 siblings and there are huge family events. Aaron has a great group of friends. Just a feel good book to enjoy.

Kelli and Parker are always competing and playing pranks on each other at work. When they both find themselves at a work event over Christmas, they are again competing against each other. Such a fun, feel good book!

Perfect Christmas Read

Stockings, Snow, and Mistletoe is a charming two book collection of full length, delectably sweet Christmas stories reminiscent of my favorite holiday romance movies.
Each story is unique and offers all the feels and storyline perfect to please. Meg knows how to write characters that are believable and endearing and she’s done it again. A great addition to any Christmas collection.

This is a sweet, holiday, romance two-book collection. I loved all of the characters in both books and had a hard time putting the books down while reading. I loved how they found each other, how the relationships started, how they walked through the ups and downs, and how they found their happily ever after. I recommend both of these and have greatly enjoyed all the books I have read by this author!

The beauty of this book is that you get two stories in one! If you enjoy fake dating, fake dating at Christmas time is next level. Both couples had me giggling the entire time, and you get a fantastically swoony dance scene with each one! Not to mention some great inspiration for Christmas traditions to start with your family. This book is sweet and just the cup of Christmas cheer you’re looking for!
