Once Upon a Christmas Kiss: Cozy Christmas Collection by Ciara Knight, Ciara Knight, Susan Carlisle, Brenda Lowder
3.0

This book is a sweet collection of stories all taking place around Christmas time. The stories are linked by the legendary “Once Upon A Christmas Kiss” book written by the principal of the school which if you get it means you’ll find love by Christmas.

Overall I enjoyed the book but some of the stories were more to my preference than others. I will definitely be checking out other books by some of the authors. An overall piece of criticism that I have is that while I thought the mythology of the book was pretty cool, I did not understand how the book got passed around by the different MCs since the short stories seem to take place around the same time. The reason I also took away some stars is because some of the stories felt quite rushed while others did not. I believed some of the relationships more than others.

The book is a fun casual read and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who just wants to have a good bit of fun mixed with holiday cheer.

Tropes: Second chance romance, soul mates, best friend’s brother, and holiday romance

Thanks to NetGalley, the authors, and Author Collective 20 for giving me an opportunity to review the book. All opinions are my own.
