Mistletoe Season

Title: Mistletoe Season

Authors: Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, Pepper Basham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Chrsitmas

Source: Library

My Review:

Mistletoe Season has three Christmas novellas in it. I had not read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I have loved several books by Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. I went into it thinking I could skip a story if I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't necessary because all three stories are wonderful.

All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Title: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Author: Betsy St. Amant

Publisher: Zondervan

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary romance

My Review:

All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes is a sweet, quick read. There is some drama (expected for a reality TV show), tender moments, and a few grand gestures. My favorite part is the ending.
