I am not usually a big fan of short stories but thought I would give these a try.

1. almost perfect Christmas
It was a good short story which was a bit sad at the same time. From the beginning you could guess the storyline but it was a nice story. It was missing something though and seemed to skip a big bit of the story and just give you a recap of what you missed. 2 stars.

2. mistletoe in maine.
I enjoyed this story more as the chemistry was more evident and the story flowed a bit better. it was a nice story and I especially liked the sleigh ride. 3 stars.

3. the army doctors Christmas baby.
A nice short story about girl trying to move on and falling in love. I especially loved reading about the twins. 2 stars.

4. Stormy times.
So far my favourite out of all the stories so far. About a vet and a celebrity as they fall in love with some different misunderstandings. I enjoyed reading their story. 4 stars.

5. the Christmas promise
I did not like this story. I found that it was a bit slow and did not really keep my interest. It then just ended, like there was more chapters that have been cut. it is the first installment in a series but do not feel tempted to continue into the series. 1/2 star.

6. Merry Christmas darling
I enjoyed this story, with a pretend relationship, an attraction and a scheming nurse it was a good story. Definitely one of my favourites in the book. 4 stars.

7. some Christmas magic
It was a cute second chance romance story. I liked the characters just wish it was longer so I could have got a chance to read more about the characters. 3 1/2 stars.

8. Christmas in white oak
I liked this story and how it was a second chance story. The only thing I didn't like was that it seemed to end when the relationship was just starting. 2 stars.

9. lucky break christmas: homecoming
This was a nice story about a couple at the point of a divorce who start to get to know each other. Reveling secrets they never shared, it was nice reading their story but struggled at times to stay hooked. 2 stars.

10. beach Christmas
A sweet story about Jess, who tries to get her family together for Christmas. However her brother cancels last minute, and feels alone as the only sibling who makes an effort to see her parents. With her neighbor, Drew and a few suprises in the mix it ends up being a good Christmas. A nice story. 3 1/2 stars.

11. her Christmas cruise
A good story, Julia call off her wedding after she discovers her fiance cheating. She then meets Tony and goes on the honeymoon cruise with him instead. It was an ok story but a bit unbelievable that she would go on a honeymoon cruise with a stranger if she was heartbroken. 1 1/2 stars.

12. a Scottish Christmas
My favourite story. Lucy receives a letter and money to go to Scotland town to receive an inheritance. She finds it is a B&B and plans to sell it, until she falls in love with the B&B, the ladies that run in and the quirky, handsome author who lives in the cabin next to the house. Definitely a good story. 4 1/2 stars.

13. small town Christmas
A nice story about a mum that wants to bring her son up in her home town. With nice Christmas traditons and a bit of love it was a sweet story. Unfortunately it did not keep my interest as much as the previous book. 2 stars.

14. by christmas: covington falls.
I loved this story, definitely one of my favourites in the book. Noelle has a hard time after her fiance runs off with her best friend on her wedding day. She then has to help run Christmas in Covington Falls when her dad becomes ill. With an attraction building with her ex fiance's brother. This is definitely an author I will be reading again. 5 stars.

On the whole it was a really good book with only a few stories that didn't keep my interest. Definitely some good Christmas short stories I will read again.

The cover of the ebook features a bride dressed all up with a bouquet. On the contrary, the story takes place in South America and there is no wedding in it...
The story wasn't believeable. I understand it's a romance idea but I still like those stories where I can actually imagine them happening. I didn't mind the "cliffhanger" end because it was pretty straightforward. The style was OK :)

Merged review:

This book is put on hold until next Xmas :)

As with any compilation, some were great, some weren't, but unfortunately those that weren't good were terrible. Names would change through the story showing the author wasn't invested in the story enough to even remember the characters names! Bad grammar, inconsistency, and non-existent editing always annoy me.

I liked some stories better than others, but overall it's just a lot of fun and cute things.
