Get all three books in this omnibus edition from USA Today bestselling author Jaycee Weaver today!
This and Every Christmas
As teens, their paths crossed every Christmas. This year, their paths intertwine.
The last place Noah expects to find relief from the weight of loss and responsibility is his daughter’s school, but in her music teacher he sees the familiar face of a girl he once knew, now a kind and captivating young woman.
The charming boy Clari remembers from her crazy family’s annual trips to the Appel tree farm has grown into a handsome man whose burdens call to the deepest parts of her romantic heart.
Can these two turn memories of Christmases past into a future worthy of the Appel legacy?
Now and Forever Christmas
Romance ruined their friendship. This could be the Christmas they repair it...only better.
CJ Sinclair never imagined trading her chef’s toque for the domestic life but her pregnant sister needs help over the holidays, and the timing couldn’t be better. A breakup and a bad case of burnout are just the top two on a list of things out of her control these days. Then there’s Tobin, her once best friend who she hasn’t spoken to in years. Now he’s everywhere all the time and sparking feelings she thought she got over ages ago.
The past eight years as a professional musician for the US Army prepared Tobin McGhee for his new job as high school band teacher. They didn’t prepare him for how he’d feel seeing CJ again. This time, though, he won’t make the same mistakes. He’s determined to rebuild the friendship they lost. Maybe even rediscover those feelings they had back in high school before everything went wrong.
Can they make holiday music together and rekindle the friendship they once had, or will romance ruin everything again?
Not Another Christmas
Childhood neighbors, rivals, enemies. This Christmas, will love have a fighting chance?
The palm trees and beaches of Florida are as far from her chaotic family as Cindy Sinclair can get. Bonus: her anticipated promotion is the perfect excuse not to come home for the holidays. Or it was, until she’s passed over and the job is given to none other than her childhood nemesis, the boy next door.
This far from New Mexico, Nick Hoover never imagined he’d beat Cindy out for a job. Again. He’s offended her, adored her, and messed up her plans since the day they met, but this time, Nick is determined to prove he never wanted to be her enemy. If only she’ll let him.
When their reignited adolescent rivalry gets out of hand, their boss insists they both go home, face the hurts of their pasts, and bury the hatchet once and for all. With help from her meddling family, this could be the Christmas they quit clashing and give love a fighting chance.
Will Cindy set aside her preconceptions and see past the prankster into Nick's heart?
Join all three Sinclair sisters as they find love and the joy of Christmas (while keeping a good attitude toward their nutty parents!) in this super-sized complete series edition.

This collection holds some of my favorite Christmas novellas that I have read. I love the way we get to know these sisters and their love interests, both in the present as well as the past. It really made me feel like I knew the characters well.
This & Every Christmas
The author found such a cute and creative way to tell Noah and Clari’s story. Each chapter began with a flashback to different years when they were younger and would see each other or interact with each other at the Christmas tree farm that Noah’s family owned. Sometimes the reader would see the meeting through Noah’s eyes and sometimes through Clari’s. Then, the rest of the chapter would be the present day story when Noah and Clari reconnected after many years of not seeing each other.
The past story included brief glimpses into what was going on in the characters’ lives through the years and felt so sweet and realistic. The modern day friendship that bloomed into romance was sigh worthy indeed. Clari had experienced so many disappointments in relationships in the past and it was clear that she was afraid to even hope that things would work out with Noah. And Noah had been through a lot of hurt and loss in the past few years. But they were so good together and both of them were characters that I connected with immediately. Noah’s daughter and Clari’s family were also important additions to the novel and added to the book’s focus on the importance of family. There was also a solid faith message that flowed through the story in a natural way.
Now & Forever Christmas
Once again, just like in the first book, I loved the way the author took me on a journey through the past to show me the friendship and relationship that grew between CJ and Tobin. Each chapter featured a portion from the past and a portion from the present and the chapters alternated between the viewpoints of both characters. The way these two books were crafted made me feel like I really knew Tobin and CJ and the returning characters from book one.
It was clear that Tobin and CJ truly cared for each other all of these years, even as they faced some situations that pulled them apart. This book was wonderfully uplifting, yet still delved into the topic of emotional abuse, something that CJ dealt with at one point in her life. Her journey to reconnect with her family and Tobin and work on her emotional and spiritual healing was beautiful. If you haven’t read the first book in the series, you can still read and enjoy this one, however, I highly recommend both of these books! They are both so good!
Not Another Christmas
Not Another Christmas gave me all the happy and swoony feels! In this book, it is the third Sinclair sister’s turn to find her happily ever after and this story is as charming and heartfelt as the two before it. If you haven’t read the other two books from the Sinclair Sisters series, I highly recommend them. You can also just jump in and enjoy this one, as well, if you prefer.
In these stories, I absolutely adore the way the author takes the reader back and forth between the past and present. It just works so well for showing the passage of time in the past and for bringing things to fruition for the characters in the present day.
I really felt for Nick and all that he went through as a teen. His home life left a lot to be desired and it was clear that he was hurting emotionally. I had gotten to know Cindy through the first two books, but it was fun to see things from her perspective in this final tale. Her reactions to Nick’s attempts to tease her through pranks just escalated things so much! There were cringy moments and hilarious moments from the past, but what I most loved was watching as things began to move in a more romantic direction in the present day. It was great seeing Cindy and Nick actually getting to know each other.
I loved this story from start to finish and highly recommend all three of the Sinclair Sisters stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Book 1
"Before her first breath, Lucy had me wrapped around her finger like a rachet strap. I understood the kind of love that had driven Eden to do what she did, but I was still so angry."
Noah was talked into marrying his best friend, but he certainly did not anticipate that decision would result in him becoming a single dad when his young wife died. Helping to run his family's Christmas farm takes a lot of energy. Enter Clari. She and her family have been coming to the Christmas tree farm for a long time. She is already connected to Noah and is glad to help.
What is fun about this series is there are plenty of flashback scenes. We get to know the characters in the present and the past. I think that helps the reader to appreciate the growth and progress made.
This is a sweet romance with plenty of laugh out loud as well as teary moments. The Sinclair parents certainly love Christmas - thankfully they also love their family. This is the perfect novella to help enter into the celebration of Christmas.
I read this book as a part of a Christmas compilation that I purchased. I read book 1 after book 2, but I still enjoyed it. I highly anticipated book three and loved that one as well!
Book 2
"You'd think that my sisters and I would be so used to Christmas junk that we'd no longer notice it invading every corner of our lives - like how people are nose blind to their own scent - but no. Stepping into the kitchen, the sensory assault nearly sent me running for the hills. Sugar cookie and cinnamon candles filled the scant space along the galley kitchen counter, waiting for Mom to distribute them around Gram's two-bedroom apartment. Three more cardboard boxes of who knew what towered in the corner. A stack of holly-rimmed plates sat next to a pile of matching bowls. The rest of Gram's apartment looked the same if not worse."
If you are looking for an explosion of Christmas, look no further than this book. I accidentally read this book before Sinclair Sisters # 1, but I still enjoyed it equally as much. (I did know who the husband of the one sister would be, but this book does not focus on their story, so I still read book 1). The Sinclair parents love Christmas and express their enthusiasm in a variety of ways. There are many laugh out loud moments.
What is fun about this series is there are plenty of flashback scenes. We get to know the characters in the present and the past. I think that helps the reader to appreciate the growth and progress made.
Charlie is struggling to move on from past mistakes. I liked how the life lessons focused on grace and forgiveness. This is a story of best friends reuniting and finally discovering more. I can't wait to read the third book in the series. I read this book through Kindle Unlimited.
Book 3
"My new neighbors were freaks.
I always thought Christmas in July was mainly a gimmick for used car lots and furniture stores. The weirdos next door must not have gotten that memo. What else explained the ten-foot-tall inflatable Uncle Sam-ta Clause in their front yard?"
Nick is unsure about the new neighborhood where he and his Dad are relocating. And meeting the youngest daughter does not help anything. How did they start competing when they just met? Little does he know that the competition was going to play a big role in his life. And how much he was going to enjoy the experience.
Cindy's family celebrate Christmas to the extreme. She hates it. Relocating seems to be the way to find a fresh start. Until she realizes that her childhood was better than she wants to remember. Especially the boy next door.
This book is an enemies to friends love story. Part of it is set in tropical Florida. So that adds a fun twist.
I have really enjoyed this series. I do recommend reading all three Sinclair Sisters books. Each title contains flashbacks from the perspective of the featured character. I think that is really fun. This book is everything Christmas and cannot help but fill you with Christmas cheer.

This is a collection of wonderful Christmas stories of the Sinclair sisters and all the fun crazy things that happen to them!
The first story is This & Every Christmas -
What a unique way to write a story! This wonderful author tells this story in time periods of two young people’s lives. Going from when they were young and first meeting each other one year, to when they first re-meet each other as adults. The story continues this way each year back and forth. I truly enjoyed this delightful Christmas tale. It’s also all wrapped up in the fun of celebrating Christmas and all the traditions that go with the holiday.
The second story is Now & Forever –
This story is full of enjoyable moments that will touch your heart and bring delight to your soul. It was very delightful, fun, and some quirky moments, as well as full of all the Christmas magic.
The third story in this trilogy is Not Another Christmas -
Cindy Lou (Dee) has seen it all from the rest of her family and now it’s her turn to find out what love is all about.
From the first page of this story, the reader will be captured in a tale so sweet they won’t want to put it down. It had spunk, sass, and lots of laughs. There were also some tender moments between the characters.
Jaycee Weaver is a wonderful author who spins beautiful stories. Whenever I pick up one of her books I’m blessed. I appreciate that her books aren’t too preachy, but they are real, and I can relate to the characters and what they are going through.
I highly recommend you pick this collection up; it will bring a smile to your face and warm fuzzies to your heart!
I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

What if you could get to know a family whose December 23rd tradition will touch your heart and bring romance to the lives of their daughters? The Sinclair family is crazy about Christmas, and each Dec. 23rd finds them at a Christmas tree farm in northern New Mexico to enjoy the festivities and bring home a tree. How will their tradition impact Clari, CJ, and Cindy? You'll have to read the novellas to find out!
While these stories are fun and full of Christmas spirit, they also gently and realistically touch on difficult subjects like betrayal and emotional abuse. Is there healing to be found, even in silly traditions? There's definitely healing to be found in the reason we celebrate Christmas, which is Jesus Christ coming to earth to bring hope and salvation to a troubled world.
If you love Christmas traditions or think you'd like to know more about music teacher Clair, chef CJ, or hotel manager Cindy, find yourself a copy of this delightful Christmas trilogy and settle in for a good read. Make sure to have some hot chocolate on hand!

This and Every Christmas was a delightful Christmas read of Noah and Clari. They met when they were younger at Noah's family's Christmas tree farm and then met again when they become adults. Each chapter begins with a flashback to various years when they were younger before going to present day. Noah and Clari's romance was sweet, and Lucy was adorable.
I enjoyed reading Now and Forever Christmas because the Sinclair parents express their love for Christmas in various ways. This story includes some funny, hilarious moments.
Charlie is struggling to move on from her past mistakes and figuring out what her next steps are. I love how the main characters are friends who have reunited after 8 years have passed by and are discovering there might be something more than their just being friends.
Not Another Christmas is of the youngest Sinclair sister. Nick and Cindy met when they were young and pulled pranks on each other throughout their school years. Now years later they meet up again when the job Cindy wants is given to Nick. Will they call a truce or will the pranks continue?

Three memorable Christmases for three sisters
I could not wait for this series collection boxset to release and have all three of these holiday books in one volume. Because once you read one, you will want them all. The tropes are as varied as the sisters' personalities, and as united as their love for their family (and their dis-like of their embarrassing childhood matching Christmas outfits!!).
Despite the ostentatious holiday displays at their parents' home, a deep and abiding faith in the 'reason for the season' shines through. As does their sincere love for one another.
I purchased this series collection boxset and voluntarily chose to share my review.

A crazy Christmas family
You will smile all the way through and sometimes you will want to laugh out loud, except when you read CJ's story and then you will be glad for God's grace and healing of broken promises. A lovely combination in this trilogy.
