Four stories in one book. Pretty predictable Hallmark-movie based stories if you ask me. Good for leisurely reading around the holiday season if you're looking to just zone out.

Winter Wishes by Fern Michaels, Susan Fox, Jules Bennett, Leah Marie Brown
Christmas Kisses by Fern Michaels
Meredith is on her way to Nashville, KS after having left Las Vegas....
She was a dancer but there was always another younger one waiting to take over, especially after injuries.
She meets Noah who she might be buying his grandmother's house from.
She hopes to get a job and then she'd be able to afford the house. She asks what is next as he found her a house, job was marriage next?
She'll take the temp job. She selects his name for the secret santa gift and everybody goes to the town party.
They spend time together and she discovers what it is she wants to do with her life. Silly children's books, they'd be a hit.
So many misunderstandings...predictable for the rest of the book...

Blue Moon Harbor Christmas by Susan Fox
Michael, an architect had a baby with Jillian and he sent her support payments as she was going to get an abortion. 8 years later, Ontario and she's a pilot on the island.
He had never seen the baby and 8 years later he wants to learn about him and maybe try to bond. They were just a party couple in college and got caught up with her pregnancy.
Michael arrives and spends the holidays with the family as he stays at the inn nearby. He learns so much about not only his son Cole but his wife and her parents that they live with.
He sees himself and Jillian in the child and hopes to find toys for his interests. They try to work things out as they still like one another, very much...
He won't be staying long as the new year will bring him back home, to work....
Second Chance Christmas by Jules Bennett
Ruby has agreed to go on a blind date-she knows him-Knox. She was a nurse in charge of the terminal illness ward and his wife was her patient. She got transferred after her passing.
They agree to go ahead with the date and catch up another up to date.
He wants to make her Christmas a great holiday as she had lost her father last Christmas Eve and he decorates her house for her.
He is a pilot and he had joined the Navy so he's always on the move.
Sex scenes that help her understand how much he cares for her. Predictable ending, bit of a twist.
Plans for new series is included.

Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown
Grace is an advertisement writer and she also writes romance. Her boss Roberta needs to discipline her as she is using the computer during business hours for personal use. 3 week unpaid leave, now she has time to write her book.
She is persuaded to go to Ireland and meet Colin-the main she is writing about in her book.
Liked the travel and places she gets to visit...
Colin, she does meet him, but there are many with the same name. Travel tips at the end.
.
Author bios at the end along with a featured book by each author.
Received a review copy from Netgalley via Kensington Books and this is my honest opinion.

I just love Christmas stories, they always brighten my day when I read them. This one is no different, 4 fantastic authors have come together to create this great anthology of Christmas cheer. All four stories are very well written with wonderful characters that you can easily relate to. This book will make you want to enjoy Christmas all year round. You will enjoy these stories of love, hope and happiness. Now go find somewhere to curl up and read as you will not want to put this book down till the very last page, I guarantee it. This anthology will even soften the hearts of some Grinch’s this Christmas.
Christmas Kisses by Fern Michaels
Meredith decides it’s time to hang up her dancing shoes and leave the bright lights of Las Vegas and move to Nashville, Kansas (not Tennessee). She finds a house she wants to buy on Craigslist, and heads there to meet Noah who is selling his grandma’s house. Noah is a guidance counselor at the high school where Meredith gets a temp job, she ends up getting Noah’s name in the secret Santa. Will Meredith give into Noah and go out on a coffee date?
Blue Moon Harbor by Susan Fox
Michael heads to Destiny Island where he knows that Jillian lives with their son Cole, who he has never seen. He sends payments through every month for him but he was not ready to be a father 8 years ago. He now wants to get to know his son now. Jillian has changed since she last saw Michael, she is no longer the party girl. Jillian has grown up and is a loving mother to Cole. Will Jillian allow Michael to be a part of their son’s life and hers at the same time.
Second Chance Christmas by Jules Bennett
Blind dates never go well for Ruby, but she has accepted to go on one more. Knox the husband of a patient that Ruby once cared for before she passed away is her date. Ruby is not too sure at first but they end up back at her place baking cookies and Knox decorating her house for Christmas. Can this be the second chance they are both needing?
Finding Colin by Leah Marie Brown
Grace Murphy is off on an adventure to Ireland over Christmas to find Colin Monaghan, the actor that she dreams about meeting (oh and she is obsessed with him). There is fun and adventure on every page as Grace searches for Colin. She does find Colin, but is it the Colin she wants? Is it her Colin?
If you are after a great book full of Christmas cheer to read this season then I recommend this one.

I can’t read these Christmas books anymore. The Fern Michaels story was awful. I liked the one about the pilot. But really all of them were just meh. Not enjoying them anymore.
