The Holiday Feeling Book Review

That Holiday Feeling: Silver Bells\The Perfect Holiday\Under the Christmas Tree by Sherryl Woods, Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr is a book with three short stories from three great authors.  It was next in the list of the Robyn Carr books so I picked it to reserve at the library after I finished the last one of her books!
The first story was "Silver Bells" by Debbie Macomber.  It was about Carrie Weston who lived in an apartment complex with a bunch of quirky neighbors.  Her newest neighbors were Phillip with his daughter Mackenzie.  Mackenzie and Carrie quickly became friends since Carrie had gone through a divorce and some of the same things that Mackenzie.  Mackenzie decides that Carrie is the perfect wife for her Dad and decides to try to set them up.  They are both against the idea but end up falling for each other.
The second story was "The Perfect Holiday" by Sherryl Woods.  Savannah and daughter Hannah move to a small Vermont town from their lives in Florida.  Hannah is enjoying her first white Christmas and making snow angels and snowmen while Savannah is having a lot of trouble getting over her divorce and dealing with tight finances.  They have just moved into her late Aunt Mae's inn and have a lot of work to do in order to get it up to being able to rent it out.  During their planning, a unexpected guest shows up, bachelor Trace Franklin who came to the inn to fulfill a promise to Mae.
The third story was ""Under the Christmas Tree" by Robyn Carr.  It was about a box of puppies that was left under the town Christmas tree when they were too young to be away from their mother.  David, three year old son of Jack, the bar owner, finds one.  Annie saves the rest with her quick thinking to bring them inside and warm them up against her body.  Jack calls the local vet, Nate, to come and look at the animals.  Annie expects the local vet who she has know all her life but in walks his son who is handsome and wonderful.  Annie and Nate meet up every night for dinner and taking care of the puppies.  Before long, the puppies get to be too big to stay in the bar so Nate offers to bring them back to his house and Annie makes her nightly stop there to help take care of them.  They quickly become more than just friends!!
All three stories were great.  It gives you a nice snap shot of all of the authors so that you can check out more of the other authors but they are all over too quickly.  I like to have a little longer with the characters and get to know them but each story was a wonderful love story and gave you lots of fun adventures!  I hope that you check it out and see if you like the writing style of any of the authors!!  I know that I have another author to check out soon since I don't think that I have read anything from Sherryl Woods yet.  Hoping to not put them on my list yet since I need to get a few more checked off of my current list first :)
