Crystal's Review 

A Heartwarming Christmas: A Boxed Set of Twelve Sweet Holiday Romances by Melinda Curtis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 1: Coming Home to Christmas Town

The Comeback Christmas by Melinda Curtis ~ This is a great Christmas story about hitting rock bottom and coming back up from it. Loved it! I am enjoying learning about the Wright sisters.

Bells are Ringing by Anna J. Stewart ~ I really liked this, it was sweet. Everyone sees the love before the couple does. Sometimes you can't see what is right in front of your face.

A Home by Christmas by Anna Adams ~ I loved this one, it tied all the 3 novellas together at the end. Noelle tries so hard not to let David back in, but that's harder to do with his twins winning your heart.

All in all I really loved this book, I will be posting this review on Coming Home to Christmas Town also :-)

Book 2: The Fisher Brothers Christmas

The Christmas Bell by Carol Ross ~ This was cute. It was about trying to prove to everyone that we are NOT the same people we were in High School.

Making Up Under the Mistletoe by Cheryl Harper ~ I was wondering how Josh and Ivy's story would work since they were already married. This was a great twist. More about making up as the title points out :-)

My Christmas Hero by Amy Vastine ~ LOL I laughed so many times during this one. How much worse can one person's day get. Ask Jules, she had the WORST luck. But it gets worse before it gets better.

As a whole I loved it! Learning about the Fisher family was great. I will be adding this review to The Fisher Brothers Christmas.

Book 3: Gifts of the Heart

An Unexpected Gift by Tara Randel ~ Unexpected love, finding family, compromise. This story is full of feelings and hard choices.

A Gift of Home by Cari Lynn Webb ~ You can only hide for so long. Hope was hiding from her home town and the people in it. The big question was why? We kind of learned a little bit in An Unexpected Gift, but we get all the answers in this book.

His Christmas Gift by Leigh Riker ~ Forgiveness is what it's all about.

I really liked this bundle of books, I will also be posting my review on Gifts of the Heart.

Book 4: The Gingerbread Men

The Gingerbread Heart by Liz Flaherty ~ Loved it! What do you do after your life feels over? Raised your kids, took care of your husband and then mother while they were in their last stretch. What is there to come back to? Cass finds this struggle, she doesn't want to interfere in her grown kids lives. What does that leave for her? Ester suggests a job! And what a job it is. It's just what she needed. Life does go on.

The Gingerbread Pony by Patricia Bradley ~ It's funny how kids can bring people together. Mark and Lizzy are just trying to get their life sorted after finding each other. Little did Mark know that Amy, his high school sweetheart was the key to helping them bond.

The Gingerbird House by Rula Sinara ~ What a sweet story about loss and love. Finding your way back home. To a home you didn't even think was there.
