A little something for everyone in this delightful Christmas novella collection with a new to me author thrown in.
If this book doesn't get you into the Christmas mood, I don't know what will!
The cover of this book is sooooo cute!
This sweet book left my heart feeling full and satisfied.
Each of these reminds of a Christmas movie especially the train one ( Polar Express and A Christmas Carol), then Darby's mean attitude.
I love the sweet messages of Christmas. They are a gentle reminder of why we celebrate Christmas.
5 stars for a job well done! I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

"A Christmas Do-Over" by Sheila Roberts wasn't my cup of tea, but readers who enjoy personal redemption stories will enjoy it.

I absolutely adored "Dashing Through the Snow" by Melissa Ferguson! This story would make the perfect, quintessential Hallmark Christmas movie. The idea of the Christmas train is delightful, and I wish I could ride it and go on all the excursions. Each of the characters is unique and adds a touch of whimsy and emotion to the story. I even teared up a bit at the end.

"A Perfectly Splendid Christmas" by Amy Clipston was a perfect cozy holiday read. It starts before Thanksgiving and goes through Christmas as two old high school friends reconnect. The timing never seemed to work for Kacey and Drew, but is there room for a Christmas miracle? This story has all the elements you want from a seasonal read: a bakery with Christmas goodies, cute kids singing Christmas songs, Christmas trees snow, a family around the Thanksgiving table. There's some angst in there as well, so it was an entertaining read overall.

The wonderfully delightful novella collection On the Way to Christmas was written by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson (two new authors to me) and Amy Clipston.

Each story will warm the cockles of your heart. You can't help but feel the spirit of the season as you take part in Darby's mean girl attitude transformation in Sheila Roberts' "Christmas Do-Over," experience an exciting Christmas train ride in Melissa Ferguson's "Dashing Through the Snow" and drool over delectable fresh bakery treats in Amy Clipston's "A Perfectly Splendid Christmas."

Although I wasn't sure about the two new authors to me, I decided to take a chance because the book sounded so intriguing. I'm very glad I did because the stories were ideal for the holiday season. Of course, Amy Clipston's tale cannot be overlooked. I always enjoy them!

So, grab your favorite blanket, curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and settle back to enjoy three distinct yet wonderful Christmas stories!

I received a review copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own, and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Cute collection of 3 holiday Hallmark-esque romance stories; they were very tame and very cute with just a touch of religion to them.

Hallmark like stories to get you into the Christmas season. Quick easy reads by three different authors all put together in one book. Thanks for the advanced copies

Anytime I see Sheila Roberts’ name on a holiday or Christmas story I know it is going to be good! This one does not disappoint, as it has three different stories in it. Each story is nicely written and is a quick read for a little Christmas spirit. I love how each story has a very strong plot and the characters feel so lifelike. If you were looking for a great new holiday book, this would be a perfect addition to your reading.

This book has three cute stories that held my interest. It was a quick easy read. Perfect for an evening of reading when you need to unwind.

I loved reading Darcy, Willow, and Kacey's stories. These are three stories by three different authors about home, family, starting over, adventures, and love. What a better way to find yourself and rebuild your life than at Christmastime. Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston, write three novellas about what was thought to be a perfect life has you running either home, or away, to find your true dreams. Love it!

If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, you may love "On the Way to Christmas." A collection of three novellas featuring Christmas romances, I was expecting feel-good holiday cheer. But to me, the stories felt rushed and a even a few characters disconcerting by turns.

Obviously, a downside of novellas is that you may feel like you missed the back story because there wasn't enough time for character development. But "A Christmas Do-Over" left me feeling like I missed the first chapters.

"Dashing Through the Snow" had Melissa Ferguson's characteristic originality. But one of the characters set me so on edge, I had a hard time trusting the rest of the characters who trusted this guy.

"A Perfectly Splendid Christmas" was what I expect from a Hallmark style Christmas novella. Small town guy and big city girl reconnect at Christmas and in a few impossibly short scenes have to decide if their love is worth changing their locations and life goals. No major complaints except the timeline, which again, is a downside of novellas.

This is a collection of three very well written Christmas stories by three very talented authors. Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson and Amy Clipston. Each book has characters that are well defined. The storyline in each book includes romance, trials, friendships, growing of characters, heartwarming reads. Highly recommend. I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am freely leaving my review.

Description from christianbook.com :

A Christmas Do-Over when job loss forces her to return to her small hometown.

A Yuletide breakup sends Willow Dashing Through the Snow solo on the Christmas Express---with hilarious results.

And big-city Kacey and small-town Drew share A Perfectly Splendid Christmas. But where do they go from here?

I know that I'm not the only one reaching for feel-good Christmas stories early this year. As the world seems heavy and exhausting, we all need stories of hope and joy.
Of the three stories, Dashing Through the Snow was by far my favorite; I loved the story of a Christmas train ride, and the characters made it so much fun.

Overall, I give this book 3 stars, but Dashing Through the Snow is a 4-star story.

I received a digital copy of this book, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.

On the Way to Christmas is a fun collection of novellas set during the most wonderful time of the year. Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston bring us three stories of forgiveness, redemption, healing and faith. Sheila Roberts's story brings us Darby walking the walk to redemption. Known as the mean girl, people are not exactly clamoring to have her back. Will she find her redemption? Melissa Ferguson tells us the tale of Willow. Dumped on the eve of a wonderful Christmas trip, Willow decides to persevere and go alone. Will three men show her that all is not lost? Finally Amy Clipston introduces us to Kacey, a big city girl who gets called back to her small home town. While helping her sister, Kacey falls in love with her old love, small town guy, Drew. Will they meet somewhere in the middle? I love how these stories tackle real life problems during a magical time of year. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

I love these kind of books because it allows me to "try out" new to me authors while enjoying some old faves just in case I don't like them. In this case I loved Sheila Roberts and look forward to reading more from her.

The first novella written by Ms Roberts was pure delight and a great way to begin this book. The characters, the plot, the dialogue and flow of this tale kept me engaged to the very end.

Overall this book was an enjoyable read. Delightful quick stories to brighten your day.

On the Way to Christmas contains three sweet novellas by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson and Amy Clipston. The stories are not connected, but had a wonderful Christmas theme and were a joy to read. I enjoyed myself in a small town, on a Christmas train, and reading a homecoming redemption story. I greatly enjoyed this book and recommend it.

I was given a copy by the publisherand not required to write a view.

On the Way to Christmas is a collection of three holiday novellas written by three different authors. Each story is unrelated and therefore can be read in any order, all at once or spread out throughout the holiday season.

Before reading this, I was already a fan of two of the three authors. Sheila Roberts was new to me. One of the things I love most about collections such as this one is that it not only gives me more to read from authors I already know and love, but it introduces me to those who were previously unfamiliar to me before. After reading her contribution to this particular collection, I definitely find myself wanting to check out more from her too.

As mentioned, the stories in this collection are shorter than your typical novel. For me personally, each one to somewhere around an hour to read. I love these types of novellas during the holiday season especially as it tends to get so hectic and it can be a little harder to keep up with a longer novel. While novellas at times can feel a bit incomplete, I did not find that to be the case in the stories included here. Sure, there were characters I would have enjoyed spending some more time with, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything by the end.

Overall, I thought this was a great collection with a good blend of humor, romance, and holiday cheer in each of the stories. If you love a good holiday romance and are looking for something quick and fun to read this holiday season, this is certainly one to check out.

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

I had never heard of any of the authors in this set prior to reading this novel, but the blurb for A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston sounded promising enough for me to take a chance.

A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts
Darby doesn’t want to go home for the holidays, but a career fail sends her slinking back to the small town she always wanted to escape. No one there is especially glad to see the former mean girl—especially not her sister, Erica, or childhood best friend, Gregory. Darby is working hard to be a better person, but has she eaten enough humble pie to make amends?

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson
When Willow’s boyfriend of seven years dumps her on the eve of a romantic getaway, she decides to take the two-week train trip on The Christmas Express alone. Hurt as she feels, she can’t anticipate how the hilarious rebound ride with conductor Oliver, elf Ian, and aging world adventurer Clarence will heal her heart—and renew her sense of worth.

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston
Kacey adores the metropolitan life, but when she gets away to help her sister during a family crisis and run her bakery, she falls in love with former classmate Drew. The problem: he’s a small-town man, and she’s a big-city woman. Is their love big enough to overcome such a major difference?

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston was my favourite read, and the only one I actually finished. The other two seemed quite silly and juvenille to me.

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas is a sweet, second chance romance set at Christmastime, starring a music teacher as the leading man. A nice, quick read that had lots of Christmas cheer throughout.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

I confess, I only read Melissa Ferguson's story because I love her books. It definitely got me into the Christmas spirit and should be made into a Hallmark movie immediately!

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson was undoubtedly my favorite in this novella collection. 4.5 STARS all the way! It felt like the Polar Express mixed with a rom-com. Unique, sentimental, and fun! I loved the writing style and how real and comfortable the characters seemed.

The other novellas were both a let-down for me. Keep in mind, I'm not a Hallmark movie fan. Maybe you'll enjoy them. But both felt too cliché in my opinion.

Also, all the novellas are secular as far as Christmas themes go.

I'll definitely be reading more from Melissa Ferguson.

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

I read some of this book, and I thought it was a bit silly.
I will not be recommending or adding to my library.

On the Way to Christmas by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson and Amy Clipston is a delightful compilation of three stories by these three women authors. A chill is in the air and there is a little more than two months til Christmas. For me it is the perfect time to start delving into Christmas stories. These are three feel good, wholesome Christmas stories.

The first story is "A Christmas Do-Over" which features Darby, a former mean girl, who finds herself making amends as she reconnects with family and friends in her hometown.
"Dashing Through the Snow" is an adventure on a ‘real-life’ Polar Express. Willow was supposed to take this romantic train with her boyfriend. Their untimely breakup has her going it alone. Will the magic of the holiday mend a broken heart?
Last but certainly not least is "A Perfectly Splendid Christmas". Kacey comes back home to help out at her sister’s bakery. Kacey gets the opportunity to make amends and reignite her friendship with her old best friend.
The three stories were all very different but they all leave the reader feeling good. while still giving that warm and fuzzy holiday feel. Definitely delightful. I got just enough merry making to feel very happy. This would be a great collection to pick up around Thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas season.
I would like to thank Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, Amy Clipston, Thomas Nelson – Fiction and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
