About the Book

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, anything can happen.

In this glittering and heartwarming collection, three of today’s bestselling sweet romance novelists offer up the gift of cheer for the winter holiday season.

A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts

Darby doesn’t want to go home for the holidays, but a career fail sends her slinking back to the small town she always wanted to escape. No one there is especially glad to see the former mean girl—especially not her sister, Erica, or childhood best friend, Gregory. Darby is working hard to be a better person, but has she eaten enough humble pie to make amends?

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson

When Willow’s boyfriend of seven years dumps her on the eve of a romantic getaway, she decides to take the two-week train trip on The Christmas Express alone. Hurt as she feels, she can’t anticipate how the hilarious rebound ride with conductor Oliver, elf Ian, and aging world adventurer Clarence will heal her heart—and renew her sense of worth.

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston

Kacey adores the metropolitan life, but when she gets away to help her sister during a family crisis and run her bakery, she falls in love with former classmate Drew. The problem: he’s a small-town man, and she’s a big-city woman. Is their love big enough to overcome such a major difference?

Curl up with your favorite holiday drink and sink into three worlds where dreams once thought long-gone are still within reach.

My Thoughts

A Fun and Cozy Holiday Collection

I am a sucker for a good Christmas story, and when I first saw this book, I was immediately drawn to it. This collection of three Christmas contemporary romances did not disappoint.

In Shelia Robert’s A Christmas Do-Over, we’re treated to a tale of second chances. As the heroine Darby attempts to right the wrongs of her past as a “mean girl,” humorous moments as well as heartfelt realizations abound in this story of holiday-time redemption.

Melissa Ferguson’s Dashing Through the Snow is a delightful story of picking up the pieces after heartbreak. I loved the setting of the Christmas-themed train ride. Willow’s verve for the holidays is endearing, along with her eclectic holiday outfits, and the community she finds through her journey is heartwarming.

Amy Clipston’s A Perfectly Splendid Christmas is a charming small-town Christmas romance with an adorable couple at its core. An enchantingly cozy setting and a sweet second-chance romance combine to create a cheery holiday story.

What is unique about this collection is that each story sets itself completely apart. Each writer has their own distinct style and each story is original, ensuring that there will be something for every reader, yet it is also a fair wager that every reader will enjoy all three novellas.

Fans of Christmas romance, rejoice! The On the Way to Christmas collection will be your new holiday tradition.
