each story was better than the previous one
Overall a great book - Roberts dedicates the appropriate amount of time to the stories to plot out the ideas and move you emotionally.
Home for Christmas: I love this kind of premise - Had a love affair and left for some reason then upon return discovers he is still in love and that he has a long lost child....A great read even if a little predictable...4 stars
All I Want for Christmas: A sweet story of Christmas wishes and love growing over time. This was my favorite of the entire book....5 stars
Gabriel's Angel: The longest of the stories it seemed to drag a little here and there. It has a good overall plot and was romantic and suspenseful in turn. Worth the read and time to finish it....Though you may find yourself scanning through some of it....3.5 stars
Overall 4 stars for this one!
Three great short stories. I wish that some were full novels as the characters really grew on me! Great for holiday reading!
This was my very first NR experience ~ loved it! This is a great Christmas read.

Nora Roberts is a great story teller! The characters come to life, and I loved that the book contained three short stories. You can choose to read one at a time, "quick reads" as my Mom calls them or curl up with the whole book, cover to cover. Loved it!
This book has 3 relatively short stories in one. They are quick reads and good story lines. Great for a car or plane ride.

Good Holiday book the first & second story have only 10 chapters and the last story has 12 chapters so it makes for a quick read. The book kinda gets you into the holiday spirit All 3 with happy endings. The second story "All I want for Christmas" was my favorite with the twin boys wishing for a MOM and of course new bikes too, everything just falls into place for the boys wish.
Product Description
Home for Christmas
After years spent abroad, reporter Jason Law returned home determined to win back the girl he left behind. It would take all his skills—and then some—to win Faith back. But this time, nothing would stand in his way—it was time faith was rewarded.
All I Want for Christmas
Identical twin boys Zeke and Zach wanted only one gift from Santa this year: a new mom! But convincing their love-wary dad that their music teacher, Miss Davis, was his destiny and part of Santa's plan wasn't as easy as they'd hoped—.
Gabriel's Angel
All Gabriel Bradley wanted was solitude. But when Laura ended up at his remote cabin during a blizzard, desperate, alone and on the run, the modern-day Scrooge couldn't turn her away. For she brought him the gift of passion, life, hope—if he had the courage to reach for it.

The first two stories are good but kind of slow. But I really enjoyed Gabriel's Angel
