I consider myself blessed to have been given a chance to enjoy a book that consists of such a wide range of authors and genres. Like a finely crafted puzzle each story in this anthology fits so well and flows so nicely that I could not pick just one. I loved them all.

Mistletoe Misconduct- Catherine Gayle shows that anything is possible. With a little bit of faith and a whole lot heart. And a little push doesn't hurt every now and then.

Marrying Mr. English- Katy Regnery sprinkles some holiday magic. As a fan of the English family I loved meeting Tom and Elenora. Seeing the events that started it all and the people who had a hand in creating it was spectacular. It's true miracles happen when you least expect.

It would be so easy for me to write down all the highlights of every story in this book, but I am not going to. 12 Christmas Romances will have an effect on even the most hard-hearted individual. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. ( )

12 Christmas Romances To Melt Your Heart by Catherine Gayle, Jami Davenport, Riley J. Ford, Emma Roman, Allie K. Adams, Geri Foster, Tammy Falkner, Tawdra Kandle, Chris Keniston, Katy Regnery

Reading “12 Christmas Romances To Melt Your Heart” is a fantastic way to get you in the mood for the holidays. I really enjoyed this anthology. It introduced me to some new authors, and it contained some stories by some of my preferred authors. My two favorite stories were Mistletoe Misconduct by Catherine Gayle and Hearts On Ice by Jami Davenport, both from series that I follow.

Mistletoe Misconduct (Portland Storm #7.6) by Catherine Gayle (five stars)

I loved hearing Jim’s story! Jim is the GM of the Portland Storm hockey team. He is a great guy who always gives everyone a second chance, because of that some of the players’ wives (headed by Laura – surprise, surprise) decided they wanted to set him up on a date for his Christmas present. As faith would have it, they end up coming in contact with Jim’s ex-wife, Elaine. The two still love each other and get their second chance in this story. The holidays are a time for family and forgiving; therefore, this is a great story for a holiday collection.

Once again, Catherine Gayle creates an emotional and realistic story. Elaine and Jim are both likeable characters that have made mistakes. I enjoyed hearing their story, and I love that they reunite. I adore that Sophie is in this story, and I love what she gives Elaine to help win back Jim. She is such a sweet character. Mistletoe Misconduct is a great addition to the Portland Storm series.

Hearts On Ice (Game On in Seattle #7) by Jami Davenport (five stars)

I loved hearing more about Blake and Sarah. Their original story came out in Love at First Snow (Game On in Seattle, #4). Since then they split up, and Blake Daniels was signed by the Seattle Sockeyes in book 5. At the start of Hearts On Ice, Blake receives a potential career-ending injury. He goes back to Madrona Island for the holidays where he once again sees Sarah.

Jami Davenport created another thoughtful and heartwarming story. These two always seem to stumble upon one another around the holidays. They are a wonderful couple that undergo a lot. I love how this story is resolved.
