4.0 out of 5 stars four entertaining warm holiday contemporary dramas, November 7, 2009

"Snow Angels," by Fern Michaels. Following the death of his wife, Olympic skier Max Jorgensen became a recluse; that is until three angels, Grace Landry and her two little girls, seek shelter from a storm.

"The Presents of Angels" by Marie Bostwick. Former Rockettes dancer Kendra Loomis is happy to be pregnant and loves her husband, the town pastor Andy, and her teenage stepdaughter Thea, but she has doubts about Christmas in Maple Grove Vermont rather than Rockefeller Center.

"Decorations" by Jana McMahan. After her husband Randy dumps her, Michelle Duncan starts over caring for her mother in Asheville and working at a Christmas store with no thought of men until she meets her sculptor neighbor Baxter Brow.

"Miracle on Main Street" by Rosalind Noonan. On Christmas Eve NYPD cop Joe Cody works a drug overdose case that depresses him even more than the fact he and his wife Shelia cannot afford much for their kids for the holidays; he wishes for a miracle and gets one as he learns what a true gift is.

These are four entertaining warm holiday contemporary dramas in which each offer nothing new but are fun to read story lines starring charming casts who find the Yuletide spirit.

I just got my Kindle and wanted some light reading so I ordered several Christmas romance collections. Fern Michaels is a name I recognized and so I thought I couldn't go wrong. Well, I guess I could. The woman simply cannot write dialog at all! She has her characters jumping from subject to subject without even taking a breath. Who in real life talks like that?! For crying out loud, she doesn't even start a new paragraph to give her readers some idea that her characters have moved on to a different topic. Several times, I found myself checking to see if I had skipped a page because I couldn't take the leaps of logic that her characters were. The overall affect is that I didn't connect with her characters or her writing and simply found myself irritated with the whole story.

Marie Bostwich's contribution made me mad from the first chapter. Her female character made decisions that were so illogical that I couldn't bring myself to believe the rest of the tale.

The last two stories just didn't feel romantic at all in my opinion. The first person narrative of "Decorations" was awkward for me to read. I did enjoy "Miracle on Main Street" the most of all the contributions but I still can't bring myself to recommend this collection to anyone.

I enjoyed this book tremendously ... I read it in two days, because I didn't want to put it down. I bought the book because I love Fern Michaels, but I enjoyed the other three authors stories as well. It was worth the purchase.

Merry Christmas all!
