I have never read any of these authors before and I fear I’ve missed some great books. Each plot is a clean, sweet Christmas story. I recommend this anthology for a series of quick, fun holiday reads. I listened to the audio and the narrator did a great job on the accents.

This is a sweet collection of novellas highlighting mistletoe. It’s magic and the fear. Or even if the town is called Mistletoe. Each story has a sweet closed door romance, faith building and searching for a love that is true and lasts.

The audiobook was so fun and festive and the narration was perfect handling a few accents! 👏🏻
🎄
These are all new-to-me authors and I’ve already looked them up on Goodreads to see their backlist.
🎄
“Return to Mistletoe” by Kathleen Fuller had a perfectly cozy small town romance with second chance.
🎄
“The Mistletoe Princess” by Pepper Basham has the best worst meet cute and I couldn’t put it down. It was so charming, I’m a sucker for royal tropes. I definitely need to read her books! ***Looks like her Skymar series is connected but can be read as a stand alone.
🎄
“Say No To Mistletoe” by Sheila Roberts captured my attention by all her PNW references 😍 As someone who grew up and lives in WA - I loved hearing about Cascade this and Cascade that. And thankfully most people grow and mature since high school. 😅

Thank you to the publisher Thomas Nelson and Net Galley for the alc. This book is available and I encourage you to pick it up if you love Hallmark-type Christmas romances. These are my own thoughts and opinions.

A collection of three stories by different authors. Pepper Basham was the standout author for me. I loved the newest addition to her Skymar series which could be read without reading the others (although I do highly recommend reading them). I loved the characters and the growth they showed over the course of the book. I would buy this book happily for that story I would buy this book happily for that story and my rating reflects that rather than all 3 stories.

I did not gel as well with the other authors I'm afraid. I think this is because I didn't relate to the characters/stories. I know these authors are popular and that the other stories will appeal to their readers, just not me.

Specific to the audio book version: The narrator was clear so you could understand every word. I dislike hearing one narrator does all of voices. It generally takes me away from the story. However, if this is not a pet peeve for you, you should be fine.

I receive complimentary books for various sources including, Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation

It was a nice read, with the development of three romances.
There are two that are a second chance and one that is a new romance with a prince.
I liked the characters, their backstories and the setting, but I didn't feel the relationship or love between them. And the same with the stories in the book, which didn't involve each other.
But it's a good book to read during the Christmas season.

I loved the audiobook, because the author did several voices for the characters, and I loved each accent, thus giving a unique personality to each one. And her voice was a pleasure to listen to.

With the temperature being in the 80s in October, this sweet collection of novellas has gotten me in the Christmas mood!! Y'all, each story has a swoony hero and loveable characters. The narrator did a fine job and i can honestly say this was a pleasure to listen to. If you like clean and sweet Christmas romances, then this book will be for you.
*I was given a copy of this book by the publisher, and this is my honest opinion.

Mistletoe Season: Multi-author Christmas Anthology

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
Emmy and Kieran were good friends growing up. Then things changed the night of his prom. After High School he left to live in Ireland and she hadn't seen him until recently.
This was a fun short story of second chance, friends to lovers, and mid-aged couple romance.
I enjoyed it.

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
I loved returning to the world of the characters of Skymar.
This time Charlie aka Charlotte, the Edgewoods' cousin, gets her happily ever after. When Prince Arran, Ellie's brother with a rebellious streak, moves to the Appalachian mountains to reform his ways and redeem himself, he and Charlie are thrust together and begin to work together on the Mistletoe Wish, a project designed to help children.
I loved getting glimpses of besotted Luke. He and Ellie are newly married and so cute together as a married couple. And him with Charlie, just loved those scenes.
But I really loved Charlie's and Arran's story.
The pie scene, their meet cute, which wasn't so cute if you ask Charlie, and the forced proximity all made for a very delightful Christmas story.

“I’m yours, darling. All yours.”

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts

Romance writer Hailey Fairchild’s kryptonite is mistletoe. After many times of failed romances after being kissed under the mistletoe, Hailey has sworn to never again!
Until she gets a second chance with her unrequited crush.

I really enjoyed this one as well. It was unique and different. I liked that it was second chance with her love interest and with mistletoe.

Overall: I definitely recommend all 3 of these delightful stories. My favorite was The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham.

Audio Review: The narrator did a fantastic job narrating all three.

Content Guide: mild sexual innuendos, grappling with the past, Christian/Religious themes, sweet to passionate kissing, parental incarceration (mentioned), no swearing, no violence

This was such a cute story, got me ready for the winter season and excited for the holidays to come. I love stories like this and recommend giving it a listen or a read. Grab a blanket a hot drink or cold drink and cuddle up on the couch and read or listen.

Mistletoe Season is a compilation of three Christmas stories featuring works by Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, and Pepper Basham.

I was particularly eager to read the story by Pepper Basham, as I had already enjoyed Loyally, Luke. I was even more thrilled to find out there was a crossover of characters between Loyally, Luke and The Mistletoe Prince. Out of the three stories, I think The Mistletoe Prince was my favorite. I enjoyed all three, though.

Special thanks to NetGalley, the authors and HarperCollins Christian Publishing for advance access to the audiobook. The audiobook was narrated by Tanya Eby.

Three stories. An enchanting female voice that narrated them and made them play in my mind like Hallmark Christmas movies, with a dash of Scottish accent.
I loved these three romances. Definitely a perfect choice for the holiday season. They stir the magic of love and warmth.
Thank you Netgalley for this arc.

Mistletoe Season are three Christmas romances written by Shelia Roberts Katherine Fuller and pepper Basham. I listen to the audiobook which was narrated by Tonya Eby, Who I thought did a pretty good job. Before listening to the audiobook I had only heard of Catherine Fuller whose books I love but I must admit the second book with Prince Aaron was my favorite. Although I did like the first story with the main character reconnecting with her best friend‘s brother who had been living in Scotland. I loved her relationship with her daughter but I DK I really connected with Charlie and her tomboy ways and really love the whole fish out of water scenario but all three books are so worth reading I would definitely read more books by any of these authors in the future if you’re looking for holiday fun and romance this is a great book each story is about 10 chapters long or maybe a little more in the really sweet and swoon worthy. #NetGalley,#Harper Collins Christian publishing, #SheliaRoberts, #KatherineFuller, #PepperBasham, #MistletoeSeason,#TanyaEby,

These shorter Christmas stories were adorable, funny, and a great way to get into the Holiday spirit. Thanks to NetGalley, Thomas Nelson, and Zondervan Fiction Audio for the ARC audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion.

i don't think i was the target audience. I think my 80yr old grandmother would have liked it. The narrator took me out of the stories. The second story felt like I jumped in the middle of it. the last was all over the place I often found myself lost.

Mistletoe Season is a delightful set of 3 Christmas novellas! I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook which brought the characters to life! The narration was great but the accents were the best! I would highly recommend this book!

Return to Mistletoe is an amazingly romantic novella! I absolutely loved it!Emmy is owner to a Christmas shop. Kieran has left his hometown and never looked back. The two bump into each other and old feelings ignite. This novella was so romantic and sweet. The chemistry between these two was perfect! I adored Kieran and his Irish accent!

A Mistletoe Prince
Prince Arran leaves his royal life to volunteer in a charity fundraiser in a small town. His bad boy reputation as well as his striking accent makes for a wonderful story! This one had many humorous moments between him and Charlotte as their romance grows.

Say No To Mistletoe
Hailey has had some bad experiences after being under mistletoe. She vows this holiday season to avoid it! But then enters her childhood neighbour who once kissed her under mistletoe. This was a cute novella!

What a delightful collection of Christmas romances! I most highly recommend Mistletoe Season!

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller: This story was very cute! I’m a sucker for a hero with an Irish accent so of course I LOVED Liam! I also really liked Emmy and I thought it was cool that she runs an antique shop. I loved the adoption rep in this story. Sweet story with all the Hallmark movie feels!

A Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham: Oh my stars! Pepper Basham is one of my auto-read authors, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this novella ever since I first heard she was writing it, and boy did it sweep me off my fairytale loving feet! Charlotte and Arran’s story was an absolute joy to read, it put a huge smile on my face and filled my heart with all the best Christmas warm fuzzies! I loved, loved, LOVED every single moment of A Mistletoe Prince! It’s by far my favorite novella in this collection!

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts: This was only my second read from this author but it most definitely will not be my last! This sweet story made me smile. I loved that Hailey is a romance author. And her and Carwyn’s romance was lovely! I also loved that this one was written in first person POV (my personal fave!) All in all this is a charming Christmas story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the authors and publisher.
My review was not influenced in any way. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own.

Three cute holiday romances. Fun to get in the holiday reading spirit!
My favorite was "Say No To Mistletoe." Mistletoe has never led to a successful relationship, so stay away!

Three cute and well written Christmas stories! I loved how they all had a mistletoe element included in them. And, the last story was somewhat reminiscent of the movie 'You, Again'.

This was the perfect feel-good holiday audiobook. The story is full of charm, love, and festive spirit, making it a delightful escape during the holiday season. I especially enjoyed how the authors blends romance with small-town dynamics, creating characters that feel relatable and engaging. The audiobook narration was smooth and pleasant, enhancing the cozy atmosphere of the story. The pacing of the plot was mostly good, though a few moments felt a bit predictable. However, the overall warmth and lightheartedness more than made up for it. If you're looking for a cozy holiday listen to get you into the Christmas spirit, Mistletoe Season is a great pick!

Mistletoe Season
This has 3 authors. Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, & Pepper Basham. I was fortunate enough to listen to the audiobook, which as you know – is my preference lately. Life gets too hectic & before I know it, I have no time for reading. Which, is why I appreciate audiobooks. It’s like having someone read to me while I go about my day. It’s fantastic.
“Say No to Mistletoe” by Sheila Roberts
Kryptonite. We all have our own, it doesn’t belong solely to Superman. I know I have mine. In this story, Hailey Fairchild’s kryptonite is mistletoe. Every time she has kissed someone under the mistletoe it has led to disaster. To top it off, Hailey is a romance writer.
Could you imagine? Mistletoe being the downfall to your lucky streak? Mistletoe being part of every breakup? Yikes.
When Hailey Fairchild was in high school, she was the quintessential gawky girl who was attracted to her neighbor, Carwyn Davies. Of course, Carwin Davies is the star of the basketball team, hunky boy next door type. When he kisses Hailey under the mistletoe it was anything but a dream come true. It was mortifying. A moment that stays with Hailey.
Flash forward. Hailey is about to return to her hometown for the holidays, unengaged, single, & determined to keep her head down to get through the holidays & return home. To her apartment in New York.

Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
When you live in Mistletoe, Missouri – you will either despise everything Christmas or you will embrace it completely. Emmy Banks loves Christmas.
Kieran O’Neill is from Mistletoe, Missouri as well. He has spent many years abroad in Ireland. He’s been spending his time renovating an old Irish castle. He only returns home to Mistletoe for his mother’s surprise 70th birthday party.
Emmy is Kieran’s sister’s best friend; childhood besties are the best. I speak from experience. The only thing is, Emmy has always had a crush on Kieran. While in town Kieran reconnects with Emmy & helps her decorate her antique store in time for the holiday season.
I love this tag line – “When the weather turns colder, things start to warm up between Emmy and Kieran.”
Come ‘on! How could anyone possibly NOT like that tag line? It’s straight out of every Hallmark lover’s dreams. Fine. How about this one? “But can Emmy risk her heart when she knows he’ll never stay in Mistletoe, and she will never leave?”

The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
I married my prince charming & we lived happily ever after. I love me a good royalty falling in love with someone without clout. Even, someone from another country with an embarrassing family history. Enough about me & my preferences.
Prince Arran St. Clare acted out of character for any royal & for his punishment, is sent to live in Ransom, North Caroline for three months. Attempting to prove to his parents, King & Queen, that he is ready for a royal life, Arran must engage in a community fundraiser. Luckily for Arran, his sister lives in Ransom & has volunteered him to assist in the Christmas charity fundraiser; The Mistletoe Wish.
Learning quickly that his royal pedigree isn’t worth much in North Carolina, Arran learns that kindness, authenticity, & hard work are the traits he will be flexing. While helping with the planning & preparation of the charity event, he meets Charlie.
Charlie, having been raised by her single dad, is a tom boy. She can hang with the best of them & work construction alongside the guys. She’s not only beautiful, but she’s also intelligent. Only thing is, she lacks self esteem & cannot see her worth.
“Some mistletoe, and a little Christmas magic and it all might be enough to help the rebel-prince understand what truly matters most.”

The 3 of these novellas were perfect. I’m already wishing it’d snow. When snow falls, I know the holiday season is upon us. I love nothing more than drinking warm coffee or hot chocolate while watching romance movies come to life. That’s what happened with these. I could see them playing in my mind like a movie.

the first story and the last were my fav. really liked it !
never tought i would read a complie of short stories here

I loved this trio of short stories! A wholesome bundle of rom com joy sprinkled with holiday magic! Think your fave predictable holiday movies but even better with fantastic story lines and great narration!
