A great christmas romance with a twist to the end, definitely recommend

Thanks Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This book contains three short stories by three different authors to get you in the mood for Christmas. This book was a quick read.

This is a collection of 3 short stories based around the Christmas period.

The first sees Ainsley's world turned upside down when the building her orphanage is in is put in foreclosure. With the help of the very lovely Dr Riordan can she save the orphanage in time for Christmas?

The second and probably my favourite of the three stories is set in Vienna. Matilda is a budding baker and works with her mum's at a Christmas market. She however longs to go to culinary school but her application is rejected. She meets a mysterious American who has other ideas for her.

Finally we meet Andie who runs an antique shop. Mike, a successful businessman wants to buy her building to open a bar. With a connection from their past will love blossom between them?

I really enjoyed these stories. Short and sweet and perfect in the build up to Christmas.

Thank you NetGalley, Rachel Carrington, Barbara Brutt, Debra Curwen and Victory Editing for the ARC of the book Spirit of Christmas. This is my personal review.
This is three novellas that are such a beautiful collection they will all put a smile on your face as your read them. They are all full of friendships, family, love, and the love of your life being found when you aren’t looking.
This is a wonderful way to spend part of a day. The holiday spirit can be felt in each story.

First we have Ainsley Beck fighting to keep her orphanage while also falling for the man who might take it away from her. This was a very Hallmark-esque novella. Ainsley and Noah had a quick romance, but also very sweet in how he was trying to help her instead of being nasty and taking it all away.

Next we travel to Vienna at Christmas to see if Matilda will make it into culinary school and if Dylan will find his inspiration. Luckily they find each other and we get a cute romance! This is a beautiful chicklit romance that shares all the beauty of Vienna at Christmas and makes you want to eat all the sweets. Matilida and Dylan both have their things to overcome, but they help each other out and fall in love in the process.

Last is another small town Christmas romance where Mike is trying to buy out the business Andi has so lovingly built. Luckily he’s willing to compromise when he starts falling for the store owner. This was such a cute, believable romance. They have some “love at first sight” feelings but then go on some cute dates and get to know each other.

These novellas are great, fluffy romances to enjoy by a roaring fire with a hot drink this Christmas season!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A lovely fluffy selection of Christmas romance books with the obligatory love story running through it. Very nice light reading for a winter's evening before bed and great writing because each story drew me in and was perfect for the run up to Christmas to give you the warm romantic winter glow.

We meet three strong, sensitive women in this lovely Christmas trilogy. All three of our heroineS have to keep

their feet on the ground as they have to find innovative ways to balance professional life and romantic

interests at Yuletide. Expect their families to meddle!!!

Ainsley runs an orphanage. is a wonderful confectioner in Vienna and A-K has an antiques shop.

Each story is a gem in its own right. Such a marvellous mixture of places and characters, traditions and

novelties.. A great Christmas read.

Spirit of Christmas is 3 heartfelt Christmas stories that make for a nice, light Christmas read. Each story includes an abundance of love, friendships, family and romance. The stories are sweet and short....sure to draw you into the spirit of the Christmas holiday.
I would definitely recommend the Spirit of Christmas for anyone looking to read beautiful Christmas stories.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this Anthology in exchange for an honest review. The first story is a sweet story a bit like a feel good Christmas movie but the second I didn't enjoy at all too many German terms and felt like a language lesson so I lost interest and sadly that put me off even reading the 3rd short story. Overall a mixed bag and not really for me.
