In the mood for a cozy Christmas anthology? Then look no further because Jill Shalvis has got you covered! If you’ve never read her Heartbreaker Bay series before, then you’re in for a treat because with this anthology, you’re able to read a few of the Christmas novellas set in this world. It’s a great way to test the waters and see if you’ll like the series and best of all, you can get into the holiday spirit with it!
Having read all of them, my favorite is probably "One Snowy Night." However, all of them do have their selling points. Sometimes, I can see a bit of her Women’s Fiction writing style in some of these stories, but mostly, they are Romance-focused. All of these stories are enjoyable reads, especially if you’re trying to get into the Christmas spirit!
Three fan-favorite Jill Shalvis novellas are together for the first time in this holiday anthology!
One Snowy Night
It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to her family. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, her long-time crush, and his big, goofy, lovable dog. A long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past…and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.
Holiday Wishes
When Sean O’Riley shows up for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, the last person he expects to see is Lotti Hartford, the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago. As the weekend continues, Sean realizes he wants to leave his hook-up life behind, but can he convince Lotti to open her heart to him again?
Mistletoe in Paradise
Years after their secret fling ended, Hannah isn’t eager to see James during their families’ annual joint holiday-themed yacht adventure. But when they’re the only people who show up, James and Hannah are stuck together on the high seas for days. As the former lovers try to make the best of the Christmas snafu, they soon realize the best things in life can’t be planned, and sometimes love is sweeter the second time around.
