These sweet romance novellas, set in Regency England made me feel as if I was back in time during the holidays.

I enjoyed the slower pace and the customs of the time period in each one. I felt the romantic tension between the characters in their various situations.

From a romance between two people of differing stations in society in the first story, to two adult friends who began to realize they were seeing each other in a different way in the second novella. Then, the third novella chronicled a brother’s best friend situation and finally, the fourth was a tale of two childhood acquaintances who ended up thrown together over the holidays during a snow storm. Forced proximity is always fun! I enjoyed each of these stories.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Christmas Forevermore opens with A Family Christmas, by Sally Britton. Early one winter morning Jane Allen is accosted by her two young cousins. She works are as a paid companion to these girls grandmother; however, Jane always has time for fun. As she prepares to run out into the snow with the youngsters, Jane runs headlong into Cyril Grant.

The next tale is Christmas Forevermore, by Sarah Eden. You meet Minna Schofield on the first page.

Soon they both realize her aunt is intent on some matchmaking.

I love these anthologies of shorter stories by my favorite authors. When I need some Holiday cheer and don’t have time for a full novel, this is perfect! I love that the stories dovetail so well together, yet each is individual with their own personality. I did’t want to put the book down. I have already shared this book with my mom, sister and daughters. I don’t think I will wait until Christmas to read it again!

Yes - read it!

Honestly - these are like your favorite Christmas cookie and Grandma just told you she's made too many so help yourself! You know you're going to eat them all but the trick is pacing yourself to get the most out of the experience!

The four stories were great. Easily read a story a night or for those of you with better self control, a few page and enjoy the book the whole holiday season.

I received an ARC from Netgalley to help me prepare my honest review.

Averages out to four stars for me.
A Family Christmas: 3
Christmas Forevermore: 4
Christmas at Cranfield: 5
A Thrill of Hope: 5

I was quickly drawn into each and every unique holiday tale in this set. The authors all did a great job of bringing characters to life and giving them a beautiful holiday experience. It's so refreshing that each story is short and sweet, yet fully developed and perfect to read during the busy seasons of life.

A delightful anthology that is sure to whet one’s appetite for Christmas.
Christmas Forevermore is a collection of four novels that all revolve around Christmas, set in the early 1800s and in different places in the United Kingdom. Sally Britton’s A Family Christmas will usher you into the home of Lord and Lady Mardale, where Cyril Grant, the grandson of Lord Mardale, is having a difficult time integrating into his family after being gone for so long. Enter Jane Allen, the female companion of his grandmother, Lady Mardale, to help at the request of her employer. None of them can imagine what this request will eventually lead to.
If this does not create enough excitement for Christmas, Sarah M. Eden’s Christmas Forever, a retelling of Charles Dickson’s A Christmas Carol, is sure to get you there. Minna Schofield, Rupert Crawford, and Mrs. Mary Jackman may leave an indelible mark in your mind as they do mine.
Ashtyn Newford’s Christmas at Cranfield is another beautiful piece that will get you wondering if Hannah and Samuel will ever have their happy ending. Karen Thornell’s A Thrill of Hope lives by its name. The story of Isabel Reid and Robert Collingham caught my attention from the beginning to the very end. A simple request by Robert’s father to escort Isabel, a childhood acquaintance, leads to a new beginning for these two.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading these pieces and will recommend this book to anyone who wants to start Christmas early. Happy ‘readmas’!
I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Bethany House through NetGalley and Interviews & Reviews for my honest opinion.

Thsi didn't work for me which was suprising and shocking, since I love a holiday historical romance collection and many of these authors.

Christmas Forevermore is a collection of clean Regency romance novellas. Each one has the thread of Christmas and a theme of some sort of grief to be worked through. Each novella has a happy ending and I enjoyed each one. If you like Christmas stories that are set in the early 19th century in the UK, this is a book for you!

I was drawn to this delightful Christmas novella collection by the lovely, enticing cover and the fantastic authors participating. I’ve read stories by each of them before and enjoyed them. I was definitely not disappointed by these charming Christmas tales. The characters were well-drawn and engaging, and the variety was fun. If you’re looking for some delicious, heartwarming stories by talented writers, be sure to put this book on your list. I recommend it those who enjoy clean and wholesome historical romance.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from Covenant Communications through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

DNF - the first story had the wimpiest male character I think I've ever read. This man literally fell down getting something out of a closet and the FMC had to brace his fall. Just...no. I had high hopes, but I want to read about capable, strong, attractive heroes and I don't think that's unreasonable ;)

A Family Christmas by Sally Britton

Cyril Grant returns home for Christmas time, a little unsure if he will fit in with the family he hasn't seen in a while. But a little help from matchmaking family members, he may just find a home for his heart after all.

Engaging and sweet, I loved how the family had welcomed Jane into their lives, and treated her well despite her position. A charming Christmas romance.

Christmas Forevermore by Sarah M. Eden

A matchmaker takes Minna Scofield on a journey of reflection, in this sweet friends to lovers romance. I loved the witty banter between Minna and Rupert, as well as the Dickensian twists!

Christmas at Cranfield by Ashtyn Newbold

Christmas to Christmas Hannah has always been drawn to Samuel, but their paths are pointed in different directions. A sweet story of love finding a way despite the seemingly impossible obstacles.

A Thrill of Hope by Karen Thornell

After losing her mother around Christmastime, Isabel hasn't had the heart to celebrate or try for another season. But a snowstorm brings her together with an unexpected person who may open her heart again to the possibilities. A charming read, with likable characters, great interaction, and a heartwarming plot.


Overall, a wonderful collection of Christmas romances from the Regency Era sure to bring a smile to your face!

This is a great anthology to get you in the Christmas spirit! They're all well-written and have great characters and happy endings. A few are on the slower side, but they're all great reads especially for the Christmas season!

I say it every time, but I really enjoy these collections of Novellas.

“Christmas at Cranfield” by Ashtyn Newbold was a page turner that sucked me in and kept me up way too late. And I didn't mind the leaps forward in time. I prefer that to trying to make a match happen in a week that has the depth of feeling of years because of the length limits of a novella. But I was frustrated when they didn't speak plainly when they had so many opportunities. And I don't like the fanning of flames of emotion and attachment when they are in a relationship/promised to someone else. So mixed feelings there.

“A Thrill of Hope” by Karen Thornell was perhaps my favorite of the set. It's just sweet in a way that had me smiling stupidly to myself as I read.

A Family Christmas - Grumpy Sunshine + Found Family +
Family Estate
This sweet romance by Sally Britton is darling. Grumpy Cyril meets warm and joyful Jane, companion to his grandmother, at a Christmas house party. A beautiful love story evolves out of kindness, sleigh rides, and the ever-beloved hide and seek.

Christmas Forevermore - Friends to Lovers + Matchmaking Attempts
+ Surprised Feelings
Christmas Forevermore brings Sarah M.
Eden's signature gorgeous writing, character development, and sweet swoon.
Minna is self-protective after many years of grief. She unfortunately finds herself the subject of matchmaking attempts.
Rupert is Minna's best friend. Having always enjoyed her company and friendship, he cannot figure out what is tugging at his heart.
Little do either of them know the beauty ahead of them.
So sweet.

Christmas at Cranfield - Childhood Crush + Brother's Best Friend + with a dash of Second Chance
This sweet Christmas read has all the angst, but won't sink you down. All the little moments bring just the right sprinkles of hope and light before a glorious HEA.
FAVORITE QUOTE:
"All it had taken was one look from Samuel, and she remembered everything again."

A Thrill of Hope - Childhood Friends + Grump + Forced
Proximity + Matchmaking Family
Isabel must face her grief as she returns to her mother's home.
Robert is still processing a refusal, believing no one will accept him.
A snowstorm, time together, and magic of Christmas leads to much more than just comfort, but love and healing for both of them.
These were excellent characters. Two thumbs up!

I'm not always a fan of Christmas stories - I don't know why, as I love Christmas - but this collection of novellas was enjoyable to read and a fun way to pass the time.

These stories were just what I needed for the Christmas Season ahead! I loved all of the characters and each of these authors put an extra twist on their stories that we’d were different and fun! Loved it!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Covenant Punlishers for this ARC, all opinions are my own.

The sweet romance and warm Christmas vibes brought depth and joy to each character's journey. Highly recommend for winter reading and anytime you need a heartwarming escape!
