Every Christmas season, I have the Hallmark channel on almost constantly...and yes, my husband teases me constantly...but there is something comforting about the sweet (though predictable) love stories...good will to all men and all that. This anthology is like that...cute, cliched, sweet and thoroughly heart-warming! Definitely a great read to put you in the right frame of mind for the season!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing this review copy in exchange for an honest review.

A nice little book with three separate Christmas novellas in one written by Gina Rochelle, Misty Shaw and Jaimie Admans. A lovely festive read by three good authors, with each story just short enough to read in one sitting. They are all romantic stories and all have a hint of humour thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed all of them, but they are a little bit too short to get too excited over! But on the plus side, they are perfect reads for over Christmas and are perfect for dipping in and out of when you have five minutes.

I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year, and part of the magic is the stories we get to read. Christmas Wish Come True offers three unique and distinct Christmas stories.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS 4.5 Stars
This is a really lovely story that pulls at your heart-strings and makes you believe in the magic of Christmas, but in a sweet and believable way. Tyler is such a cute kid and I was rooting the whole time for Isabella and Jordan to succumb to their attraction for each other. Each of them have obstacles they need to overcome and while the journey is very short (from Thanksgiving to Christmas), I whole-heartedly got on board with their love. The characters were well developed and I got a bit teary-eyed a couple of times. I was a bit frustrated around 75% at how obstinate the H/h were being because of things that seemed too co-incidental, but overall I really loved this story.

DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS 2.5 Stars
If you're a huge fan of second chance romances and if you don't mind a LOT of hoping back and forth between H/h heads, then this story may rate higher in your book. The author's writing style is very nice and there was good character development. The problem I have with many second chance romances is that the H/h are often at odds with each other for much of the story - fighting through their hurt feelings - and fighting against the attraction they feel. When I read romance, I'm in it for that falling in love feeling - especially at Christmas time. Terry and Scarlet were at odds for a majority of the story, but some readers enjoy that kind of tension. More power to them. It's just not my cup of tea. I also struggled a little with how often the POV changed within a single chapter as offset with ***. It pulled me out of the story too much. Again - it's a preference thing.

CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY 4.0 Stars
This story was absolutely hilarious but completely and utterly fairy tale, which I'm completely on board with. Emma's character was so funny in a sad and pathetic kind of way and I had to keep reading just to hear what would come out of her mouth / thoughts. Twinkle was a really fun side character (Elf) and of course Gorgeous Dog Walker was a great hero. It took a bit too long, in my opinion, for Nick to come out of his coma but overall I really enjoyed this cute Christmas story.

I received a free copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
