• Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller [3.5/5]
It was a good story to start with, especially with the town's name and the doubts from both sides. The romance was done well and I really enjoyed some moments they were alone, or when the family was trying to play matchmakers.

• The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham [4/5]
My favorite of the three stories. I think this is the one with the most humoristic side but also with the best character growth, which is hard to have in short stories. I really liked the whole Prince clichés and the way Aaron used his status for help.

• Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts [3/5]
The shortest one, and perhaps it wasn't the best thing for this story. I felt no interest for the romance but the characters were good, maybe the romance was too simple, without much of the Christmas feeling outside of the mistletoe stuff?


Overall it was as good and entertaining as any Hallmark Christmas movies! I also have to say that I didn't noticed it was published as a christian book before requesting the e-arc, and I'm not really found of those... but the mentions stayed light, so it wasn't too much bothering.

3 Hallmark like stories with a religious spin. Since these were all short stories there was no deep story line and we don't get to know the characters well. While they will scratch the itch you may have for sweet holiday romance they left me feeling a bit empty. I'm not sure if it was due to the length of the story or the plots themself.

Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham


Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love a good holiday novella and I love audiobooks. I really enjoyed this first of three audio novellas. The narrator did a great job with the accents and the story was cute. This was my second favorite of the three.

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ironically most reviews think this is the strongest of the three. Personally, I hated the narrator’s accent for the FMC in this one which made me cringe each time she spoke. I’m also not familiar with Basham’s work, which probably lessened my enjoyment of this one since some characters were familiar to fans of Basham. Also, I didn’t know these were all Christian audiobooks until this one. It mentioned religion A LOT.

Besides that, this one dragged on for a bit. It’s the longest of the three and I liked books 1 and 2 MUCH more than this one.


Return to Mistletoe By Sheila Robert’s
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my favorite of the three stories. We have a second chance, small town romance that felt reminiscent of a Hallmark movie. This was sweet and cute!


Thank you so much to NetGalley for the gifted audiobook copy of this one!

Three sweet Christmas books. All three were sweet hallmark type books. I enjoyed it. Perfect cozy read for the holiday season. Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author for an arc in exchange for my honest review.

I have long associated the Christmas read with Sheila Roberts and look forward to a new one each year, but I was not acquainted with the other two contributors to this holiday anthology. Roberts's story was true to form....festive and fun, and the other two stories, by Fuller and Basham, did not disappoint. I always love my Christmas novels, but this format was a pleasant addition...three short stories/novellas in one fell swoop!! Kick off your holiday season in high fashion and give these three authors a read....under the mistletoe!!!! Happy Holidays!!

First up, Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller—OMG, my heart! 😍 Emmy and Kieran’s second chance romance totally had me feeling ALL the emotions. 💖 Mistletoe, Missouri, is SO cute, and Kieran’s swoony Irish accent? Swoon🍀 While I would’ve loved a lil' more character depth with Kieran, the chemistry between these two was absolute perfection! 💋 Plus, the holiday magic was SO real, I was wrapped up in it like a holiday gift! 🎁

Then we’ve got The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham, and let me tell you, I couldn’t put it down! 😍✨ Prince Arran, sent to a small town to prove himself? YES, PLEASE! 👑 The way he grew and found out that love isn’t just about crowns—it’s about the heart—had me feeling all the feels! 💓 And the romance with Charlie? ADORABLE!! I was all heart-eyes for these two. 😘

Lastly, Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts—this one had me laughing so much I had to put my book down! 😂 Hailey, a romance writer who swears off mistletoe after a cringe-worthy teen disaster with her neighbor, Carwyn? Holiday rom-com gold right here! 🎬 Their awkward charm was SO FUN to read, and their second-chance romance was full of heart! 💕 Plus, Hailey’s self-doubt added that extra depth that made it more than just a typical holiday read. ✨

Overall, this collection is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season! 🎄🎉 It’s light, fun, and packed with all the festive vibes you could ever want. BUT, Pepper’s story was definitely my fave! If you’re in the mood for quick, sweet holiday reads, this is YOUR vibe. 📚🎁

I love books that are full of short Christmas stories. Some I liked and some I didn't, but that's what makes it so interesting. Fun charming stories for the holiday.

Three beautiful Christmas stories that make your heart smile! All three stories feature well written characters, mistletoe, and clean romance filled with fun moments. I loved discovering two authors I've never explored before, and checking on my favourite Skymar royals. All novellas added to the magic of the season and made me smile!

I absolutely loved this book! A great book to begin the holiday season! Sheila Roberts is my favorite!

I listened to this book. I didn't really enjoy the Scottish accent. It felt fake to me. The last short story felt monotone and at a slow choppy pace. I do in general like short stories during the busy the holiday season.

The third story was my favorite in spite of the narrators voice. I also enjoyed the clean romances each of them wrote about.

I liked the theme of mistletoe through each novella in this collection. Different stories but all with happily ever after. Two of these are siblings best friends that reconnect. The third is a prince who proves he’s not just his title. Overall good books with funny and adorable scenes in each.

If you’re in the mood for a sweet, cozy Christmas read, Mistletoe Season by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham is just the ticket. This collection offers three heartwarming stories, each set in a charming small town and tied together by a mistletoe theme that adds a festive touch to each romance.

Listening to these stories in audiobook format was enjoyable, though I found that some of the accents from the narrator could be a little distracting. Part of me wished I had the print version in hand to fully immerse myself in these cozy tales. Still, the stories were easy to follow, and each one transported me to its unique small-town setting, complete with all the Christmas magic you’d hope for.

These quick reads would be perfect to enjoy in front of the fire with a warm cup of hot cocoa on a winter night. If you’re a fan of cute, cozy holiday stories, Mistletoe Season is an ideal pick for your Christmas reading list.

If you want a cheesy but overall cute christmas read then this one is for you. Do with this what you wish, but it's not a bad book. Sometimes you just need a cheesy christmas book to put you in the spirit.

This was so cute! Loved all the different stories. Perfect for the Christmas season and will get you into the Christmas spirit. If you are looking for a collection of Christmas romance to get you ready to celebrate definitely read this one!

Woof. This was… a bit of a hard book for me. I cringed a lot. The cheese was cheesing and everything was a little too easy. HOWEVER I recognize these are little novellas so there really wasn’t time to develop things and have a ton of conflict, it just got right to it, which I can appreciate. It was okay. I think the Prince story was probably my fav. The third book’s use of the word ugh all the time bothered me but I think it’s more the narrator’s fault. The narrator was such a struggle for me to listen to. Like she’s very good and has emotion in the right places, but I just felt like I was being read to by a nice local librarian? It really is just preference though! Anyways. Wish I could’ve loved it, but it just fell flat for me. Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins Christian Publishing for the advanced audiobook copy.

Mistletoe Season was a sweet collection of Christmas tales. I enjoyed the audio narration for each of the stories, too. These novellas are a good way to enjoy shorter festive tales as the Christmas season approaches. I enjoyed all three novellas.

In Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller, I loved that it was a best friend’s brother, unrequited crush story from twenty years earlier that finally resulted in the female main character ending up with the man she adored as a teen. This story was so good and I really actually wished there was an epilogue showing the two main characters a year or so in the future.

I’ve been looking forward to reading The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham and returning to some of the characters from her Skymar series. What a fun fairy tale romance this was, with Charlie finding her happily ever after with a prince! I loved that Arran had overcome so much and that his true nature was kind and genuine and that he was immediately drawn to the unique woman that Charlie was.

I hadn’t read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I enjoyed listening to Say No to Mistletoe. I do have to admit that I was very anxious at the beginning of this story. The fact that Hailey had to deal with a woman who bullied her in high school was tense for me. However, I ended up loving the way the author handled that situation. This was another tale of a high school crush and unrequited love, with the brother’s best friend this time, and it was fun to see Hailey capture the attention of the handsome Carwyn and grow more confident in herself along the way.

This fun collection was enjoyable to listen to and a nice way to enjoy seasonal Christmas stories.

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

I thought this was a delightful Christmas novel that was like being wrapped up in a warm blanket and watching the Hallmark Channel. I enjoyed the three different stories and I thought all of them were wonderful reads,

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review!

Three Christmas storys with romance and Holiday feeling.
Like Hallmark movies, cute, heartwarming and all the Christmas setting.
Return to Misteltoe: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friends to lovers/ bestfrinds brother/ second change romance.
The Misteltoe Prince: ⭐️⭐️

A Rebel-Prince, a hard working FMC and lot's of the beautiful Christmas sparkles. I bit too many dialects for my taste (even if it was nicely done).
Say No to Misteltoe: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A romance author and the High Schoole crush. Misteltoe as krytonite and old sparkles coming to life. An almost second change troupe in yet another cozy christmas holiday story.

No spice - but lot's of Christmas lights.

All three of these novellas held humor and a Christmas story you won't want to miss. All three held a strong message that made this collection one of the most meaningful ones I've read.

Thank you for the audiobook.

These 3 stories were sweet. They were each very easy and quick listens. Due to the stories being so short, there didn't seem to be much character development. However, I did enjoy each story and the narrator did a great job.
