Holiday time means not as much time for reading and this collection of novellas is perfect for that time of year. Some new to me authors and old faves, I’ll be looking forward to more from the new one after reading this charming book

This was a great collection of holiday stories. It was a perfect book to read over the holidays. My favorite was the story by Carolyn Brown I recommend this to everyone who wants to get in the holiday spirit

This is an anthology with four light, sweet novellas about finding love at Christmas. They were easy to read when time is short during this busy season.

A Christmas Cowboy at Heart by A. J. Pine takes place in Meadow Valley where several other of her books takes place. This was one of my favorites in the collection. Peyton Cooper has returned to his hometown as Mayor. Deputy Daniela Garcia is no fan of the holidays. Our two main characters knew each other as kids and have lots of baggage from their pasts to overcome. I liked these two and was rooting for them to find happiness. The town's decorating contest was a fun addition to the story.

My other favorite novella was Joy to the World by Hope Ramsay. The story featured two older main characters which I really liked. Dr. Jim Killough is a widower who loves all things Christmas. Brenda McMillan is estranged from her daughter and due to things in her past, prefers to avoid the holidays. Jim and Brenda share a love of music and I enjoyed how this featured in their story.

Thank you to the publisher for my ecopy of this book.

This was a pretty long book jam packed with four novellas.
While they all take place during the holidays, the vibes are all different, so there's something for everyone. They range from small town Texas cowboys to a sexy military man (which dealt with the difficult subject of PTSD) to a middle aged widow/divorcee romance.

Home For the Holidays had some yummy recipes included, like Butter Pecan Shortbread Cookies and Country Fried Cabbage with Ham.

My favorite novella was Joy to the World by Hope Ramsay. It was inspiring and a beautifully written story that touches on God's purpose for us in this world.

This collection of stories is a great choice for some relaxing Christmas reading.

I enjoyed this collection of Christmas novellas set in the country it was something different. And a welcome change.

This anthology is all about the Christmas spirit. So many have lost their way but Carolyn Brown has sent Landon Griffin to help Dixie Boudreaux and her little girl the traditions and meaning of Christmas. Rochelle Alers has pastry chef Iris Nelson just making it through life and helping her friend. Collier Ward is making a surprise visit to his sister. Little did they know he is suffering from PTSD and trying to decide what to do with his life. Love was not in the cards but it came anyway for these two broken souls. A.J. Pine has Deputy Daniela Garcia who competes against the town for the best Christmas display. Peyton Cooper is back home and the new mayor. He is a bah humbug person. and whenever the two come in contact, sparks are flying. It takes a leap of faith to bring these two together. Hope Ramsay has Brenda McMillian, the town scrooge, being conned into helping the Christmas choir perform. The holidays have brought her nothing but heartache. Dr. James Killough keeps smiling through all his heartbreak. Fake it to you make it. He is determined to bring joy to Brenda and in the end he does. Loved reading this whole set.

A Little Country Christmas is a book of four novellas that will put you in the mood for the Holiday Season. Each novella will warm you from head to toe! I have read other books from Carolyn Brown but the other authors are new to me! It is always nice reading new authors!! I will look for other works from them. This book has a wide range of storylines that will please everyone. It is a quick read that will make you smile and even shed a tear or two! It is almost like watching a Hallmark Christmas movie!! So if you are looking for a pleasant way to ease into the Holiday Season and reading I would recommend you pick this one up!!

What a lovely collection of novellas this is, each a heartwarming and easy to read story. I enjoyed each of the authors' writing and three of them were new to me, I'll be sure to check out more of their work. Christmas spirit is sprinkled throughout this book. My romantic heart fell in love with each of the characters and I easily connected with them. Christmas, romance, sweet and charming characters, cowboys - what more could I ask for!

Thank you #NetGalley and #GrandCentral#Publishing

Featuring some of Forever's top contemporary authors, Hope Ramsey, Rochelle Alers, AJ Pine, and Carolyn Brown. Thank you to Forever for the ARC to read and review.

Cowboys, romance, and Christmas all in one? Heck yeah! I love holiday themed romances and loved the 4 novellas and it was so much fun being able to try out 4 different authors that I never read before! I'll be reading more by the different authors for sure!

This book is made up of 4 stories by 4 different amazing authors. A Perfect Christmas by Carolyn Brown, A Christmas Cowboy At Heart by AJ Pine, Home For The Holidays by Rochelle Alers, and Joy To The World by Hope Ramsay were all warm, cozy Christmas stories. I loved every single one of them. I didn't want any of them to end. I am a huge fan of Carolyn Brown, but the other 3 authors were new to me. I can't wait to read more books by these authors! There's never a wrong time to read a heartfelt country Christmas story, and having all 4 in one book is even better! I guarantee you'll love the storyline of Landon, Dixie and Sally. I was in love with one year old Sally immediately. Then in the other 3 books, there's Daniela and Payton, Iris and Collier, and Brenda and Dr. Jim.
I felt like I knew these couples personally. This is a must read!!

I love a good feel good Christmas book. This one just made me happy and I couldn’t wait for the ending. I highly recommend if you are in a slump

This is a super fun read. I really enjoyed this one!

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Cute enjoyable bundle of novellas for the Christmas season. I love a small town atmosphere in a holiday read.

ARC for honest review with no compensation received from NetGalley and Forever 4.5 stars

A Little Country Christmas anthology by Carolyn Brown, Hope Ramsey, AJ Pine and a new to me author, Rochelle Alers. What awesome Christmas stories to get you in the holiday spirit! Each book is a standalone with romance, small towns, some are connected to previous series by these authors and of course..Christmas makes for a joyous season! Such a sweet read!

If your looking for a feel good holiday read here it is! My favorite authors all in one! Beautiful and touching this is a read many will enjoy all year round! Loved it!

It took me forever and a day to finish this book so now that I've read the last page, I really feel like I accomplished something! All the stories were good - two were from authors I've read before and two are new to me. They were all emotional and heartfelt and a bit on the wholesome side, so if that's what you're into definitely check them out. Rochelle Alers contribution was my favorite, but all of them were pretty good - I just prefer a bit more heat with my romance. They were all like watching Christmas Hallmark movies so I do recommend them if you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit, any time of the year! 3.5 out of 5 wine glasses.

The Perfect Christmas by Carolyn Brown
Syrupy sweet and wholesome. Not my usual bag, but it was cute.

A Christmas Cowboy at Heart by AJ Pine
Cute, sweet, second chance romance. I'm very interested in Dani's roommate Casey and her backstory...

Home for the Holidays by Rochelle Alers
Really enjoyed the recipes (pretty sure I’m going to attempt all of them), the touch of Gullah culture, and the realness.

Joy to the World by Hope Ramsay
Grump/Sunshine romance featuring an older couple (she's 47, he's 55). Very emotional and surprisingly instalovey.
