I have read a lot of anthologies that are very good. Some are all connected around a certain theme. This anthology for example is centered around Christmas time. What makes this anthology even better though, is that all of the stories take place in the same small town in New York, centered around the local town's 100 year old department store called Kenworths. Most of the characters know each other and interact some what in each story. I liked how connected this made all of the stories feel, even though they were written by five different authors.
Each story has a clean romance where the characters had either given up on love or thought it would never come. Some of the stories moved along faster than the others, but I particularly enjoyed the characters and the romances found in Christmas Makeover and Hope for Christmas. If you are looking for some nice romances to get you into the spirit of Christmas, this anthology, along with a nice cup of hot chocolate, will surely do the trick.
