ROOM AT THE INN by Ruthie Knox

Carson Vance couldn’t wait to get out of Potter Falls, but now that he’s back to spend Christmas with his ailing father, he must face all the people he left behind . . . like Julie Long, whose heart he broke once upon a time. Now the proprietor of the local inn, Julie is a successful, seductive, independent woman—everything that Carson’s looking for. But despite several steamy encounters under the mistletoe, Julie refuses to believe in happily ever after. Now Carson must prove to Julie that he’s back for good—and that he wants her in his life for all the holidays to come.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this story. It was a good start to the book too. I loved how the couple (Carson and Julie) were old flames and it was about them getting back together and Carson staying home.

Rating: 4 out of 5



ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU by Molly O’Keefe

Maddy Baumgarten and Billy Wilkins are spontaneous, in love, and prepared to elope the day after Christmas—that is, if Maddy’s family doesn’t throw a wrench in their plans. After all, Maddy’s barely out of high school and Billy’s a notorious bad boy. Maddy doesn’t care about Billy’s rough past—all she cares about is living in the here and now. But after Maddy’s mother stops speaking to her in protest, and a Christmas Eve heart-to-heart with her father leaves her with butterflies, Maddy starts to get cold feet. She loves Billy, but is she taking this big step too soon?

My Thoughts:

This was my least liked story on the book. I think this was because at times I was unsure how to take Billy. Then at other times he was really sweet. The story does have a HEA so that was definitely a plus.

ONE PERFECT CHRISTMAS by Stefanie Sloane

After being jilted by her fiancé, Jane Merriweather turns to her dear childhood friend, the Honorable Lucas Cavanaugh, for support—and unlocks the smoldering desire simmering in the man’s troubled heart. Frightened by his newfound feelings, Lucas flees to Scotland. But when the Christmas season brings them together again, one glance is all that’s needed to reignite his yearning. If Lucas can convince Jane that his intentions are as pure as the falling snow, they’ll turn a dreary December into a joyous Yuletide affair.

My Thoughts:

This was my favorite story of the book and I am so glad it was last! It left me with a good feeling and "save the best for last" really rang true here. This was a historical story so it took me back to when I first started reading romance. I loved the story and will look for more books by Stefanie Sloane in the future.

Rating: 5 out of 5

Overall Review:

I am glad I read this book all of the stories are Christmas romances so it was perfect for this time of year. I also love the sexy cover, something as eye catching as the "man candy" certainly makes me want to buy the book!
