This Christmas, the best kind of trouble comes in threes: Three bestselling authors. Three stories of holiday romance. And three cowboys who are ready for love--whether they know it yet or not . . . MISTLETOE COWBOY * Diana Palmer Horse whisperer Parker doesn't drink, smoke, or gamble, and he doesn't have much to do with women, either. Until he meets winsome widow Katy, and her sweet child. Could Christmas kisses under the mistletoe bring the handsome wrangler the gift of his very own family? "No one beats this author for sensual anticipation." --Rave Reviews
BLAME IT ON THE MISTLETOE * Marina Adair To claim his slice of the family ranch, Texas Ranger Noah is forced back to Tucker's Crossing. All he expects to find is a tractor load of painful memories--until a holiday storm, a power outage--and perhaps the magic of Christmas--deliver him to rescue an intriguing woman named Faith. But just who's rescuing whom? "Marina Adair is a breath of fresh air." --New York Times bestselling author Darynda Jones MISTLETOE DETOUR * Kate Pearce When Morgan Valley rancher Ted Baker gets out his tow truck to pick up a snowbound driver, he doesn't expect to find his old school friend Veronica on the lam with her pet pig--much less true love--just in time for Christmas . . . "Captures the spirit of the West." --Booklist on The Maverick Cowboy
This is three cowboy Christmas romance novella. I loved two out of three of these Novellas. I love Diana Palmer's and Marina Adair's Novellas, but I really did not like Kate Pearce's Novella. Remember that with novellas the romance moves fast and sometimes leave things up in the air. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
Great holiday collection

What a great festive collection to get readers in the spirit of the season!
Mistletoe Cowboy
This one was, unfortunately, my least favorite of the novellas in this collection. Parker, a horse whisperer, and Katy, a single mother and widow, find a connection with each other. I enjoyed reading about Parker and Katy's daughter Teddy. I liked their relationship with each other. Katy, however, just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I just didn't connect with her. I also found that there was a lot of repetition. I feel like information was repeated several times and it just got annoying. I've enjoyed other things I've read from Diana Palmer, so I was surprised that I wasn't a fan of this novella.
Blame it on the Mistletoe
I liked this novella in the collection! Noah is back home for Christmas at the request of his brother. Faith is has been trying to make up for her parents' mistakes by being a secret elf around town. When her power goes out, she calls a friend for help and Noah is the one who comes to rescue her! I liked Noah and Faith so much. I liked them together and I liked their relationships with the other characters in the story. I really liked both of their relationships with Faith's brother. I just wanted this to be longer. I wanted more of the story to make it feel more rewarding!
Mistletoe Detour
I think this one was my favorite of the collection! Veronica and her pig Bacon are on the run from her ex-husband. When her car breaks down on her way to her uncle's farm, she is picked up by a former classmate. When Ted and Veronica reconnect, will there be more than friendship in their future? This novella felt like a complete story. I didn't need more and I didn't feel like it was just repeating a bunch of the same information. I loved both Ted and Veronica and I really wanted to know more about all the other characters mentioned. I need to read more from Kate Pearce to get to know her writing more.
