Four of today's top contemporary romance authors come "Together for Christmas" in a delightful holiday anthology. This collection is a decoratively covered repackaging of previously issued small-town Christmas stories from Debbie Macomber, Brenda Novak, Sheila Roberts, and RaeAnne Thayne. "5-B Poppy Lane", by Debbie Macomber, is set in the fictional community of Cedar Cove, Washington. A powerfully poignant story of new love and the echoes of timeless romance, this is also a very patriotic story. There's a reason why Debbie Macomber is one of the world's most beloved writers--the lady is a very gifted storyteller. Following "5-B Poppy Lane" are three stories from equally talented authors. Brenda Novak's "When We Touch" is set in her fictional community of Whiskey Creek, California during a Victorian Days Christmas celebration. When one sister not only steals away the other sister's boyfriend, and then marries him, can time make way for healing and forgiveness? Sheila Roberts offers a "Welcome to Icicle Falls", a small town in Washington State. Told with her trademark humor, this enjoyable tale of romantic reminiscence from the daughter of the owner of the Sweet Dreams Chocolate Factory will leave a smile on your face. Author RaeAnne Thane tells the charmingly romantic tale of a kindergarten teacher in Pine Gulch, Idaho who is "Starstruck" when the father of one of her students turns out to be the former movie star who was once her own major crush. Can the student teach the adults a lesson in love as she works her match-making ways? Settle down in your favorite reading place with a big mug of cocoa and generous plate of Christmas cookies and enjoy this quartet of happy holiday romances.

This is a sweet collection of love stories. Can't say that it really got me in the Christmas spirit more as I was thinking it might from the title of this anthology. However it showed that true love still exists. I have to saw that my favorite story was the one by Debbie Macomber titled 5-B Poppy Lane. It is a WWII story. Which I enjoy this era. Plus I really connected with the couple in the story. Their story was a really good one. The only new author to me in this anthology is RaeAnne Thayne. Which I liked her story titled "Starstruck". It was a Western. Another of my favorite genres to read. I will be checking out full length novels by this author as I did like what I read. The other two stories were fine. I agree with another reader when she makes reference to Hallmark. Yes, the stories are like Hallmark stories. They are sweet with not too much romance and you know there is always a happy ending. ( )
