I was excited to read HOLIDAY KISSES as it contains a
quartet of holiday stories from authors I have added to my
must-read list over the last year or so. I am happy to
report I was not disappointed. The stories are alternately
tender, sweet, sexy, and funny. If these authors are new to
you, or you are a fan looking for a quick read, give this
anthology a try.
In the heartwarming This Time Next Year, Brenna Keating
finds herself snowed in with Dr. Dillon Craig after he
rescues her after a car accident on her way to her
Grandmother's house. Brenna is struggling with her
disappointment in missing the last Christmas with her
Grandmother before Brenna heads to Africa for a year. As
the attraction between them grows, Brenna wonders about what
she'll be missing if she leaves Dillon.
A Rare Gift was my favorite story. Calliope hires her
sister's ex-husband Wyatt to build an addition to her
daycare. She has had a crush on him for years and plans to
take advantage of the opportunity offered by working
together. Wyatt is still hurting from the end of his
marriage and isn't looking for love, especially not with his
ex-sister-in-law. I loved Calliope's confidence and
willingness to put it all out there for Wyatt. She didn't
hesitate to challenge him.
I thought It's Not Christmas Without You was the funniest
story. Austin has set-up his Christmas tree lot in
Washington DC to try to win back his love, Carrie, who left
their small town for her dream job at a large museum. He's
sure he can talk her into coming home. She loves him but
can't give up her dream. Austin's optimism and the stunts
he pulled to try to win Carrie back made me chuckle.
Mistletoe and Margaritas is a tender story about friendship
turning into love. Justin has loved Claire for years, even
as she married his best friend. Justin has been Claire's
friend even as she grieved the loss of her husband. Can
their friendship survive when attraction takes hold?
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...Love!
A man gives the gift of trust and receives a second chance
at love in return. A woman helps to heal the wounded heart
of a soldier. A couple finds that true love knows no
distance. And a young widow learns that there can be two
great loves in a lifetime. Love, romance and passion come
together in this collection of four seasonal shorts.
