      Meh. I think these stories had some potential, but none of them even came close to living up to it. There was way too much silliness on all three heroine's parts for me to overlook, and in all three the problems that had to be overcome in order to get to the HEA seemed to have been solved with the wave of a magic wand. Or perhaps a sprinkle of fairy dust. Either way, they were all fixed way too quickly and without any substantial effort or reasons behind them.

      Winter's Heart by Jillian HartShelby Craig's life isn't going very well. She heads to Snow Falls for a temporary job and hoping for a nice break for her and the kids at her grandmother's house. A flat tire brings on the help of Officer Ronan Winters. His feelings for her haven't changed in all these years. He want's to help her but it might be too high of price.Snowbound at New Year by Margaret DaleyEllie Summers writes childrens books. When her illustrator retires he recommends Brody Kincaid. But Brody can't seem to get it right. When she heads to his home to talk with him in person, an unexpected snowstorm leaves her stranded at his home. She finds that the 'difficult' Brody is actually very charming and his twin girls quickly win her heart. The girls want to see Brody and Ellie together. Will the little matchmakers succeed?A Kiss at Midnight by Brenda MintonJolie Godwin is an artist who will have a display at the Wildwood Lodge for First Night. She's hoping not to run into the owner, Jake Wild. There shared kiss at New Years last year is still vivid in her memory. He's really a good guy and a very devoted uncle but, because of their history, there can be no future for them. They're lives are worlds apart. But the magic of First Night can be a powerful thing.This was an extremely enjoyable read. All three stories take place in Snow Falls around First Night or New Years celebration. The cover is as heartwarming as the stories inside. I had fun meeting all the characters and becoming involved in their lives. There was no heavy subjects to deal with or extreme drama, just a fun get-away to a beautiful lodge where you can go ice skating, enjoy hot chocolate and the company of the folks in Snow Falls. I enjoyed my visit there and I'm sure you will too as you Countdown to First Night!Mass Market Paperback: 320 pagesPublisher: Harlequin (January 2, 2013)ISBN-10: 0373837798ISBN-13: 978-0373837793*This complimentary copy was provided by Harlequin through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
