    An enjoyable collection of holiday stories.

    Duncan’s twelfth Night Miracle by Caroline Warfield
    When his cousin dies, Duncan Laidlaw becomes Viscount Mildrum and guardian to his cousin’s children. When the children run off every governess he hires, he decides that what he really needs is a wife. A friend sends him Margaret Carter, just the lady he needs. Delightful story.
    A Countess for Christmas by Jude Knight
    Ben Farleigh is a successful solicitor when he learns that he is the new Earl of Baxter. Going through documents at his estate, he discovers a secret that will once again change his life, and the life of Louisa Penworth, the daughter of a former maid at the estate. What will happen when the secret is revealed to Louisa? An interesting story with secrets, mystery, and romance.
    Twelfth Night Treasure by Alina K. Field
    When Vicar Matthew Gurnwood and Miss Dubia Hastings, a lady’s companion, take an injured student home, she is shockingly confronted with a past she is hiding from. When they leave to return to the village, they are forced to seek shelter in a snowstorm. This will not be an easy night for Matthew. He already has trouble controlling his “baser urges.” It is clear that there is chemistry between Dubia and Matthew. How will he react when he learns the truth of Dubia’s past? Well, Matthew is a very understanding person. A heartwarming romance.
    The Lady and the Christmas Brooch by Ruth Casie
    A duke with an unusual approach to matchmaking. A missing heirloom brooch, if found, will lead the finder(s) to their destiny. Genevieve and Alexander follow the clues and race the clock to find the brooch, which must be found by midnight. Will they find it? If they do, what will be their destiny. Mystery and romance.
    All Things Merry and Bright by Aileen Fish
    James left to join the military when his fiancée married someone else. Bea was in love with him, but he chose her (former) best friend. James has returned and is staying with her family. Getting to know her again, he begins to wonder if he chose the wrong friend years ago. Susan, now a widow, returns to the village, and wants James back. Will he choose her again, or will he and Bea find their happy future? Second Chance Romance.
    All I Want for Christmas is You by Susana Ellis
    When Evan Campbell rescues Lady Alicia and brings her to Lord Stanton’s home, the young vicar and Alicia got a rather big surprise. Lady Alicia and Lord Stanton have been betrothed since childhood but have been in no hurry to wed. Now Stanton has fallen in love with Ellen Campbell, Evan’s sister. The betrothal is broken amicably, and along the way, Alicia, the duke’s daughter, and Evan, a vicar with a scandalous past, fall in love. Impossible, right? Maybe not. Difference in class romance for two couples.

    The six stories by the Bluestocking Belles authors: Alina K Field - Caroline Warfield - Jude Knight - Susana Ellis - Ruth A Casie and Aileen Fish were well written. The HEA's for all six was the culmination of heart-warming stories for the holiday season.

    I hope they collaborate on other holiday stories and continue to brighten up my reading enjoyment.

    There were a couple of stories and authors that I enjoyed. Ruth Casie’s story was a beautiful love story and enjoyed it very much. The first story by Caroline Warfield was very good as well. Honestly, the rest I skimmed through and two of them I could not even get through the first chapter. I was hoping to like it more.

    It's always a joy to read a Bluestocking Belle collection and this one is no exception. These talented ladies' stories range from the weary uncle, guardian to a couple of hellions, to the vicar with a past and everything in between. These six gentlemen discover unexpected magic of Christmas.

    I enjoyed this delightful set of holiday stories. There is mystery, secrets, surprises, second chances, and a little Christmas magic. As with any anthology of different authors, I liked some stories better than others, but all are 4/5 stars for me. The anthology includes some of my favorite authors (C. Warfield and J. Knight) along with some who are new to me that I would like to read more of. The set is very clean, with only some kissing, so safe for all ages. If you enjoy historical romance, especially with a holiday theme, I think you will enjoy this collection.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this charming selection of holiday stories. Each one has enchanting characters and an intriguing storyline. It's a gem!

    I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this wonderful book and can highly recommend it to anyone who loves holiday romances.

    All of these accomplished authors are on my must read list, but when they decide on a theme for a series of novellas I know I'm in for a rare treat.

    Each story is as carefully written as their novels. However they are like tiny bites of the richest desert you can name. I try to savor only one a day because I hate to leave the settings and the characters without giving them their fond farewell.

    I recommend that you never ever pass on a Bells anthology.

    A Countess by Christmas by Jude knight 5*
    This was an engaging read. Louisa Penworth is now 18 years old and her parents have kept secrets from her but say they will explain all eventually. It must have been very frustrating for Louisa to be told something about herself that others were aware of. Ben Fairleigh, Earl of Baxter had been happy as a solicitor when he unexpectedly inherited the title. Ben is a hard working man who had no aspirations to hold a title but is now doing what he can to learn about running his estates. When Ben and Louisa meet, they do feel a connection, however there are the secrets to be told that could make a difference. Ben also has something to reveal. I enjoyed this story very much.
    I have read most of the stories in this anthology, they are a mix of 4/5 stars, but all made for an enjoyable read. I received a copy via Booksprout and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own. However, I did preorder my own copy.
