Christmas Kisses is a collection from five bestselling and award-winning authors. Set in the snowy town of Echo Ridge in upstate New York, these inspirational romances are sure to delight while you sip cocoa by the fire and listen to Christmas carols.
The Candy Counter Heiress by Lucy McConnell Amazon bestseller
Someday Reese Gates will own The Candy Counter at Kenworth's; but someday can't come fast enough when the manager threatens to bring in a national candy provider. Reese secretly takes matters into her own hands hoping to save her parents from additional worry and prove herself capable of running the company. Her deception deepens as she ropes computer guru Andy Edwards into helping her expand the business. Reese wanted to shake things up, but she wasn't planning on her heart getting caught in the mix by Andy's stolen kisses. If she can hold it together until after Christmas, then she can reveal her successful online company and her feelings for Andy. Unfortunately for Reese, even the best laid plans can melt like chocolate.
Christmas Makeover by Cami Checketts Amazon bestseller
Chelsea Jamison has been infatuated with Drew Stirling longer than she's loved playing basketball, high-top sneakers, and the Knicks. Unfortunately, all Drew sees is the kid who kicked his trash in the high school free throw contest and not the girl whose heart breaks into a fast dribble when he's near.
Drew makes an unexpected visit home to Echo Ridge and their friendship picks up where they left off as they scheme to make a teenaged boy's Christmas dreams come true. When Chelsea realizes she's fallen for her best friend, she wonders if there is any hope of a relationship with Drew or if she's stuck in buddy-status for life.
Hope for Christmas by Rachelle J. Christensen Amazon bestseller
Anika Fletcher hates Christmas--its promises of good tidings and hope for the future are as tinseled as the ornaments on Kenworth's Hope Tree. Despite her feelings, Anika wants to maintain her daughter's faith in the magic of the season and gladly accepts a second job working with the handsome Carlos Rodriguez to restore Kenworth's old fashioned soda fountain. Carlos is no stranger to hard times and slowly shares his life of light and joy with Anika as they work together. Just as her fragile soul begins to feel hope again, an ill-timed act of charity changes everything. Anika isn't sure who she can trust or if hope is worth nurturing--especially at Christmas when it's easy to enjoy a kiss and believe love can last longer than the season.
Soda Fountain Christmas by Connie E. Sokol Amazon bestseller
Keira Kenworth has one focus this holiday season: save her father's old-time department store from bankruptcy. She is not focused on Tayton Wells, the tall, dark, and genius marketing guru from downtown New York, hired to make it happen. He is as doubtful that her nostalgic connect-the-town ideas will succeed as she is about his numbers-first plan. However, it's not just their different approaches that cause sparks to fly. Working together on a fast deadline to save the store before Christmas, the unspoken connection between them grows. But will the tough decisions they face drive them back to their separate worlds, or will they lead to the beginning of love?
One Winter Night by Heather Tullis Amazon bestselling author
Jonah Owens thought moving to Echo Ridge to open his art gallery would solve all of his problems. The need to sell his grandma's house adds an unexpected complication. It would be easier if his neighbor didn't have all those farm animals.
Kaya Feidler's family has owned their land for nearly a hundred years--long before the neighbors were there. There's no way she's giving up the animal therapy business she's been struggling to make profitable. She gets a temp job helping Jonah in the gallery. Spending time together is a recipe for romance, but can they overcome their own hangups to be more than friends?

Review

"Echo Ridge sounds like a great place to live and an even better place to fall in love. This anthology is a wonderful holiday read full of romance and rich characters that have you rooting for them on the first page."
--Taylor Hart, author of The Real Thing Series and The Last Play Anthology "I just finished Christmas Kisses and it was so fun! I have read several books with stories from multiple authors but never like this one. I loved how the same characters, events, and places were carried over into each story. Even down to the smallest detail of the snowflakes on the Hope tree! Christmas Kisses will warm everyone's heart through the holidays!"
Donna Campbell, book reviewer

The Candy Counter Heiress by Lucy McConnell

I am becoming a huge fan of Lucy McConnell's books! I loved this story. It was so fun, playful, and festive. What a great way to start out the set of novellas! If you are a big chocolate or Christmas fan then this is definitely one for you! All of Lucy's books have me hooked from the first page and I don't want to put them down until I'm done.

Christmas Makeover By: Cami Checketts
This story had me bawling like a baby at the end. It was such a sweet story. Chelsea reminded me a lot of me. I've never been one into dressing up or makeup and all that really girly stuff. And I have always loved basketball. My hubs is like Drew and always has accepted me for who I am and loved me anyway :) I love Cami's books I always feel I can relate to them and she pulls me in. It makes it so great because I feel I can connect so well with the characters. As always Cami great job!

Hope for Christmas By: Rachelle J. Christensen
Keeping the true meaning of Christmas in check is so important to me. I raised my kids without the belief in Santa to make sure that the true meaning of Christmas is remember every year. I loved this story especially the ending and the lessons learned. I'm reading this mid-October but this was a good story to help me remember to stay focus on what's really important in this upcoming holiday season! This was my favorite line and perfect ending for this story, "God loved her, and He sent her someone at Christmas—the time of the Savior’s birth to open her eyes and give her hope for Christmas."

Soda Fountain Christmas by: Connie E. Sokol
What a great story about 2 people who realize they can't live apart. I love how Keira and Tayton are always building each other up and helping each other out. That is what great relationships are made of! This was a great addition to this set of books!

One Winter Night by Heather Tullis
This was another great story. I have read a lot from Heather and always love her stuff. My favorite line from this story was, "Nothing really great, really worthwhile, happens without hard work.” I didn't feel like the one had as many ties into the characters of the other stories and I could even remember the main characters mentioned in the other books but I still loved it and it was a good ending to an awesome set of books by great Authors!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of Christmas romances

Great collection of stories based in a town called Echo ridge. I bought this book because I recognized some of the authors and I have enjoyed their books. I was not disappointed. I enjoyed every story in this collection. It starts out with Reese who us trying to save her family's chocolate buisness. Her mother won't listen to her suggestions to help the buisness. Reese decides to open a website and sell the candy online without her mother knowing. She is risking a lot by doing this. She is risking her mother's anger and she is lying to Andy the man she has been in love with since childhood. Next is Chelsea who is the coach at the local high school. She is comfortable in yoga pants and exercise clothes. She has been in love with her best friend Drew since high school but thinks he sees her as only one of the guys. She runs into Drew in Kenworth's department store after not seeing him for years. The two work together to help a family in need. Will Drew see Chelsea as more than one of the guys? The next story is about Anika Fletcher a single mom struggling to make ends meet. She is working at the department store and meets Carlos a local handyman. Anika ends up working with Carlos to get the store's soda shop ready for a Christmas fundraiser. The two are attracted to each other but Anika has been hurt and does not trust. Can Carlos win her trust? The next story is about Keira. Her family owns the department store. She is trying to save the store because it is in the red and close to bankruptcy. Tayton has been hired to help the store turn around. He is from New York city and just there to do a job. The two start off on rocky ground but as they learn to work together they make an incredible team. Will the romance last past Christmas? The last one is about Jonah who is struggling to help his grandma, open an art gallery and rediscover his artistic muse after losing his girlfriend to a fatal car accident. Kaya lives close to his grandma and needs a job for the holidays o help supplement her struggling buisness. Kaya helps heal Jonah's heart with her kind loving ways and Jonah is able to paint again. Each story is sweet and heartwarming. I highly recommend this collection.

Totally Clean!
Language: no bad language
Violence: no violence
Sex: no sex, but some very sweet kisses.
There are five stories and four of them are a little like Groundhog Day except they tell the same story through the eyes of different characters. It's a nice Christmas anthology, but not anything riveting that I couldn't put down for a long time. Perfect for this season.
