Since the winter holidays are some of my favorites and I
love romance novels, I'm easy when it comes to holiday
romance anthologies. The busyness of the season lends
itself to reading these story collections, and it's rare for
me to meet a holiday-themed novella I don't like. I always
come away feeling satisfied, my eagerness for the holidays
ramped up, just as I did with HOLIDAY BRIDES.
In these three novellas by authors Jewel Amethyst, Farrah
Rochon, and Stephanie Worth, readers will experience a
Caribbean getaway, learn a little about Kwanzaa and romantic
community service, and witness a little supernatural
matchmaking.
In "From SKB with Love" by Jewel Amethyst, two wounded
individuals who meet on the island of St. Kitt must decide
whether to remain cocooned in their pasts or to take
advantage of an unexpected, second chance on love.
Farrah Rochon's "No Ordinary Gift" features a community
center volunteer who must decide whether to give the man who
previously rejected her, and is now the community center
director, a second chance.
Finally, Stephanie Worth introduces a touch of the
supernatural in the person of two angels who must work
together to unite two people with big dreams and in search
of love in "Heavensent.com".
Although I enjoyed all three stories, Farrah Rochon's
novella was my favorite (and fans of hers will appreciate
the reference to the Holmes brothers construction firm from
her prior series). HOLIDAY BRIDES is a great way to kick
off this year's holiday reading.
The holidays aren’t so festive when you’re celebrating by
yourself. But with a little luck and a lot of love, three
single women find their soulmates and get the holiday
weddings of their dreams.
"No Ordinary Gift" by Farrah Rochon.
Kemah and Tyson come from different sides of the tracks.
They had the start of something real, but Tyson got scared.
Now that a special Kwanzaa celebration has thrown them
together again, he’s determined not to let go until she
says, “I do.”

Brenna has a list, and she’s checking it twice. But
unfortunately for her coworker Evan, she just doesn’t seem
to see him as anything more than a friend. Can an online
dating site and two guardian angels change her mind before
the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve?
