MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Mistletoe & Christmas Kisses is an anthology that Tracy Sumner put together this last holiday season with four of her previously released Christmas novellas. I absolutely love Tracy Sumner’s stories and these four stories are just prime examples of why I love.
Each story was easy for me to picture in my head as I read. I absolutely love the depth of emotion and the chemistry that sizzled between every one of her characters! I love how strong and sassy the heroines are! I love watching the heroes fall head over heels in love with their heroines.
If you love Christmas and you love short stories, you absolutely need to read these stories! Unfortunately, as of this review, the only way to get this anthology is on Amazon in paperback format. (I got sick during the holiday season and then ended up in a car accident where thankfully, there were no injuries, but my car got totaled. So I spent the week of Christmas and New Years, looking at car. I was also in a bit of a funk because of everything that happened during those two months, and I didn’t have the headspace to read.) But, each story has its own book and most of them are on Kindle Unlimited!
Thank you Tracy for the advance copy!
