Welcome to Holly Grove, Vermont, dubbed the “best little town in the country.” It’s going to take the residents of Holly Grove a lot more than an evergreen and a few strings of lights to pull off their famous holiday tree lighting ceremony this Christmas Eve. First of all, Mother Nature is not cooperating with her plans to dump the Blizzard of the Century as a Christmas present. Not to mention … mention that the Mayor and Sheriff are both distracted, native Holly Grovers brought their complications back home with them, and newbies to the town are causing their own special types of ruckuses. Each resident will have to be brave, face their fears, accept changes, and embrace their pasts, to pull together and accomplish the sacred tradition of their cherished small town.
Experience the true meaning of the holidays, fall in love, laugh, and cry in these eight novellas, each a full story on its own, with characters who pop in and out of each other’s lives. We think you’ll like it here…

It’s festive time of year again. So let’s settle down to eat too much and watch cheesy Christmas films. But wait, what of instead of the films you could delve into a book where the Christmas period of a small town is broken down into quick read stories. There is festive fun and Christmas cheese galore. Can you tell what’s going to happen, of course but that all adds to the enjoyment. It’s a lighthearted Christmas read. Well written and sweet funny, and endearing characters.

I enjoyed the novellas telling about the residents and visitors of Holly Grove. There is a big storm brewing not only in weather but in the lives of some of Holly Grove’s residents. They each had there own problems but found a way to have a Merry Christmas and a hea.
One of the best parts about reading an anthology like this one is getting to revisit authors I really like and get to experience authors I haven’t read before. There are eight offerings in this holiday anthology, all set in the town of Holly Grove, Vermont. You just know there’s going to be snow amidst the steam!
Each story in this anthology deals with the holiday preparations in the town and while each story stands alone, they are interconnected like the characters in the stories. Taken collectively, this anthology give a nice view of the good and the bad of small town life. Of course it’s the holidays, so things tend to work out for all involved.
There’s plenty of steamy action between the characters too as they resolve their issues and have their holiday happy ever after. The stories are just the right size for a quick read after work (or shopping) and unlike some of the anthologies I have read where I put it down after reading my favorite author’s story, I’ve kept going to read some new authors and that is a very good thing.
So overall, a wonderful collection of holiday inspired stories at a great price that are just the right size and with enough heat to keep you warm on a cold night.
