Christmas Forever More: A collection of short stories by Sarah Eden, Karen Thornell, Sally Brutton, and Ashtyn Newbold.

In four short stories, all set at Christmas time in the early 1800's, young English women strive against odds to find their happily-ever-afters. Each couple faces opposition from their past or present situations that they have to overcome. For some it is changing a past friendship into something more. For others it is overcoming social differences or broken hearts.  Of course, with a book like this we know that all will end just as it should. 

I don't know what it is about Christmas that makes us look for Hallmark movies and sappy Christmas short story collections.  I enjoyed this one.  The stories were unique enough that I didn't get tired of them and the characters were as well developed as can be in the genre. Of course, I have read books by Sarah Eden before, but I was glad to be introduced to the other three authors. (I read this collection before the book I reviewed below)  Yay, more clean romance authors to try out. (2023, 400 p)
