First Story a Disappointment; Grammar & Usage Terrible
This collection contains 5 Christmas-themed books. I have read the first book. I had planned to read the rest, as I love Christmas romances, but I was SOOO disappointed in the editing that I decided to not continue with the collection. As a proofreader and copyeditor myself, multiple glaring language errors severely detract from my enjoyment of a book; all I do is just keep watching for the next error instead of focusing on character and plot. The first two stories had missing words (sometimes a pivotal one where it was hard to figure out meaning), run-on sentences of a variety of types (comma splices and sentences where the required comma before a coordinating conjunction between two otherwise complete “sentences” was missing), and other incorrect punctuation. I did receive an ARC copy, but this is a collection of previously published books, so there is no excuse for bad (or no) editing. Honestly, the author could have read the manuscripts out loud and caught most of the missing words!
Here’s a review of the 1st story in the book, which I read completely.
The Christmas Competition: I wasn’t wild about this one. The heroine was very sympathetic from the start, so I was rooting for her from the start. I went back and forth about the hero for a while. He could be inconsiderate and rude for very little reason, not good for a romantic hero Yet, he was also a wonderfully indulgent and loving uncle and usually a thoughtful brother to his sister who was definitely down on her luck. As the story progressed, I felt like the author was painting herself into a corner with what was happening between the couple as well as in the competition, a large cash-prize contest to see who had the best Christmas-decorated house in their small town; it was hard to guess how it could work out on both fronts. The climax and denouement were surprising, but not in a good way. Two disturbed people threatened the couple and the competition. Their interference seemed to come out of nowhere. Not enough foreshadowing. I don’t like those kinds of surprises in books.
I received a free digital copy of this collection, but that did not affect my review.

Maplemore Christmas Boxed set has 5 books in this set. This set is a clean romance set with characters that bring you in. You want to be friends with them. The writer has the ability to bring you in and have you get angry at certain characters. I love that! I know when emotions are evoked when reading, the author has a way with writing.
Lose yourself in these books with a Christmas theme. Start with “The Christmas Competition” where both Claire and Benjamin each want to win the decorating contest. Throw in a sister who comes to live with Ben, an evil ex-girlfriend, and a supportive friend, and you have a great story.
The second book, “Christmas Scandal in a Small Town” you’ll find out if a famous person can live under the radar in a small town. Who can you trust and who has your back?
The third book, ”Her Boss for Christmas” has romance and office politics. What happens when you fall for the boss, but his girlfriend is his assistant? Get ready to yell at the characters in this book.
The fourth book, “Brother’s Best Friend For Christmas”, has you hoping for romance between the sister and brother’s best friend. But since she there is temporarily, is it worth starting? Can a romance work if one of them is moving?
The fifth and final book, “Christmas Inheritance”, Lanie inherits some property at a pivotal time right after she loses her job. Does she want to take the chance on keeping the property? But the property needs some work and Preston starts to help her. A romance starts and they navigate the pitfalls that happen.
You won’t regret reading this box set.

The Christmas Competition 4 stars
There is a Maplemore Christmas yard competition going on and everyone works to try to win the prize. Some people do it for fun and some for the money, but all of them have fun doing their best.
Claire needs the money to save her grandma's business and Tara, Benjamin’s sister, needs the money to start again far from her ex-husband.
A great read for Christmas time.
I wrote this review based on the book I read, and I will update the review once I read the rest of the books.

I received this collection with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this collection we get 5 stories that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first word to the very end. Each of these stories show couples who must show that to really have it all including true love you must be willing to fight for it.
So much I want to tell you but I don't want to ruin it for other readers. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Faithful
This is a series of books where each character had someone important be unfaithful in some way. Whether it was an ex, a family member, a coworker or combination of all the above. Each character remained faithful to themselves and each found love by taking a risk on someone else. Some of the roads were smoother than others. Each fought to get back or keep what was important to them.

Get a head start on your Christmas reading with Maplemore Christmas, a collection of five clean, heartwarming, small town romances. I just binge read all five in two days! The first two are longer than the other three but all have fully fleshed out characters and compelling stories that keep your interest. I loved all five!

This was a clean collection of novella length holiday romances set in the same small town. Some of the characters grew up there and others were new to the area. Each of the heroines were struggling in some way and if only they let go of some of their pride and allowed the heroes to help and love them. Villains got in the way of their happiness and added to the suspense of the stories.

Like Hallmark Movies
The stories were sweet with likeable characters. Reminiscent of Christmas Hallmark movies, except I enjoyed reading these more. I took out one star due to a few grammatical errors in a few of the stories.
