I received this book from author Sharon Kleve in exchange for an honest review.
Previously I had read one of the books from this anthology In Love with Paris and fallen in love with the book. Now after reading the others, I have no words to describe how happy these books made me. It brings in Christmas spirit along with some amazing and sweet romance. Also not to forget the beautiful places and wonderful scenarios painted in words by these amazing authors.
The First book was Kisses and Strudel by Jennifer Conner.
This story starts off with Mr Simon giving four of his workaholic employees a Christmas present - trip to anywhere other than United States. Aubri a workaholic through and through decides to go to Germany to work rather than have fun. She keeps telling herself this until she meets Ryker Frost, who charms his way to her heart. There are surprises, discoveries and lots of holiday spirit spiked with romance.
The Second book being In Love with Paris by Sharon Kleve is the book which got me reading this anthology.
This is the story of Paget who also given a present by Mr Simson goes to the city of Love, Paris. Little did she know that her love story would bloom there.
The third book is Christmas in Tuscany by Angela Ford.
I felt this book was the my most favorite in the series and this is the story of Erika, who is also the employee of Mr Simon, who chooses to take a trip to Tuscany. This book has love, betray and a the wonderful wine yards of Tuscany. And of course Massimo Conte. The Prince charming of this story.
The Last but not the least is Twice as nice Christmas from Natalie-Nicole Bates.
This is the sweet story of an impulsive girl Jade who bought a house in Bulgaria on a website even without visiting the country once. When she is given this amazing present from her boss she takes her impending trip to Bulgaria. But on her flight she meets Damyan (I specifically love this name) who makes her fall in love. Hard. Within the celebration of holidays. This also is a sweet romance in a wonderful place.

This book is technically four stories that have the same beginning but each story is written by a different author and concludes with four separate but similar endings.
Top Points:
- I love the concept. A great boss sending his four top employees on separate vacations to anywhere in the world in memory of his departed daughter.
- Each story is was very sweet and has that good Christmas ending.
- There is plenty of romance but I would rate it at a PG-13 level.
- Two of the stories had another story line running concurrently which made those more interesting.
Problems:
- It was difficult for me to connect with any of the characters because of the short lengths of the stories. Most of the characters felt 2 dimensional to me
- It was also a little confusing that in two of the stories, the main story that ties all four together is different. I would think that they would write the beginning together.
Overall, they are nice Christmas stories that could be good to snuggle up with on a cold winter’s day.

These collections of short stories are sweet and loving. Each one gives you a better taste of love and how finding it can open you up to a new world.
Each of the women in these stories struggle with their thoughts on love; either having lost it, never having it, or never wanted it.
This book kept a smile on my face and I think that’s the point of a Christmas tale, to make you happy and jolly. You will get that and more in this great little book.
If instant love isn’t your thing than this book isn’t for you, however, everyone else will fall in love.
