The Way You Look at Me (A Sweet City Hearts Novella)
Oh, what a fun Christmas romance novella! I absolutely loved this Sweet City Hearts novella. A definite feel-good story with just the right amount of humor to complement the wonderfully sweet romance.
A Mermaid Under The Mistletoe
I think this one was easily one of my favorites from this boxed set. I loved how there were elements of the original fairytale but the story was entirely its own. This story was the perfect mix of sweet romance and suspense.
Giant Love
This story was the most different take on Jack And The Beanstalk that I've ever read. I mean, what happens when you mix a rich city girl, her controlling father, her egotistical fiance, and a Montana cowboy?
The Leprechaun of Christmas
A really neat premise, an amazing setting in small-town Ireland, and a cast of interesting characters. But there is some language and it's a little too descriptive in a couple of scenes for my personal tastes.
A Little Christmas Pretense
Another story that reminded me of a Hallmark Christmas movie in the best of ways. I really enjoyed this Cinderella retelling in that it had all of the elements of the original but was a completely fresh and delightful tale.
Henry’s Holiday Charade
What a sweet story and totally perfect for the holidays! It was just like reading a Hallmark movie and I really enjoyed myself while doing so. A really great take on The Frog Prince fairytale and a definite plus for this boxed set.
Overall
Wish Upon A Christmas Star is a pretty cool boxed set with some fun and unique fairytale retellings. This set is a great way to check out some new authors. Perfect for spending some time inside out of the winter's cold.
