Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology
4-stars
Hometown Heroes is a great anthology! These following authors provided me with so much Christmas entertainment: Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, J D Boudreaux, CJ Peterson, E.A. Hale and Jolie St Amant. Some of these authors are new to me, while others I’ve read before. I absolutely loved reading these novellas by some of my favorite authors and being introduced to some great new authors.
Each novella captured my attention and had me hoping for a happy ending! This anthology is one I would recommend to anyone looking for their next Christmas read!

Hometown Heroes, a Christmas Anthology
Featuring stories by Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold & J D Boudreaux, C J Petterson, E A Hale and Jolie St Amant
5 stars
This was a fantastic collection of short Christmas stories by some amazing authors! I loved that there were couple who I have read work by before and then also some new tome authors but each story in this anthology I thought was a well-deserved 5 star read! Although there may only be 5 stories there is definitely something for everybody from historical, contemporary to paranormal!
The 5 stories included in the anthology are as follows
Courtship and Courage by Carrie Dalby
When Time Stood Still by Chelsi Arnold and J.D Boudreaux
Hobbes House Noel by C.J Petterson
Talking in Code by E.A Hale
Safe Haven by Jolie St. Amant
I don’t think I can actually choose a favourite from this anthology which unusual for me there always seems to be one that stands up but I absolutely adored all of them. Each one was different and the author or authors were able to drag me into their stories easily. I actually would have happily read full length versions of any of the stories.
As I said before there is definitely something for everyone in this great collection and I cannot recommend it enough!

This is a book of short stories by six great authors. They are stories bring heartwarming Christmas Spirit to life with tales of romance, paranormal, and historical stories. I connected to all of the characters in these stories as they are lovable and made me feel as if I was right there with them. These are women who are town heroes, I highly recommend reading this book to find out why they are heroes. I found my favorite series as well as a couple of new ones, I know you will too.

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology is a collection of five short stories by six wonderfully talented authors. These authors all have different styles and approaches to writing; all are unique and individual- but each story uses the same theme as their inspiration for writing their contribution to this anthology- the common thread running through each of the stories celebrates everyday heroes. Whether their heroism is gained through devotion, or leaving behind the safe and familiar in the hope of adventure and challenge, or saving a life by grabbing them from the clutches of death, or by being a war hero, or being someone who fights for what they believe in, or having the courage to leave a painful past behind in order to embrace the future- we meet a variety of leading characters, each one a hero in their own right and are unique to their storyline. All the stories are set around Christmas, and are packed full of Christmas spirit.
The Anthology contains:
-Courtship and Courage By: Carrie Dalby
-When Time Stood Still By: Chelsi Arnold and J.D Boudreaux
-Hobbes House Noel By: C.J Petterson
-Talking in Code By: E.A Hale
-Safe Haven By: Jolie St. Amant
All the stories are so engaging and believable- with wonderfully written plots, and well developed characters. I have read books by several of these talented authors before- but three of the authors were new to me… so I was excited to not only read the work of the authors I knew and loved, but also get an introduction to some authors who are new to me.
So, settle down for some wonderful reading, which will entice you with heartfelt romance, some suspense, a bit of mystery, history, some paranormal, action, drama, adventure, and more. There is something here for everyone!
I really recommend this Anthology- you won’t regret buying it! It is worth every cent of the purchase price- and by purchasing this anthology you will be helping out a charity in the process, as a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Cajun Navy Relief! #Win-Win!
Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology
By Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, cj petterson, E.A. Hale, J D Boudreaux, Jolie St. Amant
5 Stars
I loved this collection so so much. I have read books by a couple of these authors and loved them, what I really like is that now I have a few more authors to follow. Every story in this anthology was a 5 star read for me, a few of them I didn't want to end and wish they could have been longer. Each one had a common thread with the hero part of the storyline, and this was shared by each author in a different way.
I don't normally like reading anthologies and the only reason I took a chance on this one was a couple of the authors I have already experienced and the Christmas theme because I love anything Christmas. This one had everything I want in my books and I'm so very glad I picked it up.
I highly recommend reading this and I also can not wait to read it again next Christmas.
Many thanks to these extremely talented authors.
Loved It!!

Hometown Heroes: A Christmas Anthology by Carrie Dalby, Chelsi Arnold, Cj Petterson, E.
A. Hale, J D Boudreaux and Jolie St. Amant and is a series of very short christmas romance
and stories told by the different authors. They range from stories told in earlier times to
current times and even the paranormal, but each one is about heroes, falling in love and the
joy of the season. There is also a lot of emotions in the stories and some may bring you to
tears. But all in all it is a group of stories that will take you on a short magical journey and
their diversity will ensure you enjoy that break in reality.

The perfect anthology for Christmas! This romance collection hits all the right notes with the hometown themes and sweet romance thrown in to the mix. The collection provides tales from six authors and they lend themselves to each other well. Each story was heartwarming and relatable and just felt perfect for a fire, couch, cup of good cheer, and Christmas decorations. Just completely heartwarming. Loved it!
