Martinis And Mistletoe by Delaney Foster

The perfect martini, an unexpected friendship, and a moment under the mistletoe might be just what Brynn Robley needs to discover the true meaning of Christmas.

All Sally Levenson wants is to stop grieving over her dead husband. She wants the pain to stop. To breathe again. One night at the Ballet with Sugar Plums and a Nutcracker turned Prince and Sally's Christmas wish might just come true.

Second Chance Christmas by JL Leslie

Even when it's unexpected. Even when he lied. Even when you shouldn't want it, but you do... more than anything. Love deserved a second chance... Especially at Christmas.

Copperfield Lane by JL Long

Where wishes come true and hearts fall in love.

STAINED by JM Walker

Follow Asher Donovan and Meeka Cline back to the beginning to be reminded what Christmas is truly all about.

12 Letters by Noelle Bodhaine

A family's journey through deployment. 

A wife and mother's way of coping.

And the hope that their soldier makes it home for Christmas.

All I Got Was A Hangover by Paisleigh Aumack

Penelope Sloan is a pain in the ass, loud mouthed, southern belle who knows how to get what she wants and uses it to her advantage. When she meets Braxton Jenkinson during a blizzard in New York City, she knows all bets are off when she wakes up with only memories of copper and whiskey gold. Oh and of course the most epic hangover ever. 

All I Want For Christmas by Scarlett Wells

All Pippa wants for Christmas is her boss, Alec Ardent. Evidently she's been on Santa's nice list because things are about to get naughty.

Reviewed by Kristi Lynn

This is a collection of short stories all taking place around the Christmas Holiday. 8 authors came together and contributed a piece for our reading enjoyment and boy did they deliver.

What I Loved About This Anthology

The stories in this anthology are packed with all of the feels you want in a good read and you get that times 8. You get humor, love, pain, longing, second chances, and the overall spirit of the holidays. The ladies have you covered with all of your favorite types of leading men and women.  There really is something for every reader who loves romance in the pages of this book.

I loved how unique each read was while keeping the stories centralized around the holidays. I adored the different story lines and the characters in each. Each author did a fantastic job of getting me engaged immediately which is so important in a shorter read. Each writer spoke to me on an intrinsic level. I was able to relate to the different characters and the things they were going through. I was drawn into each one and became invested in the characters. I had moments of laughing out loud, lots of smiling, some tears, and an overall appreciation for all of the words. With this type of read, you can read all eight stories all at once or space them out and enjoy them one at a time with a glass of wine, cup of tea or your favorite beverage.

What I Did Not Love About This Anthology

The only thing I did not like was that I wanted more of each (which is actually a good thing)! I am so very hopeful that these authors will be expanding their respective stories into full length novels.

I happily give this anthology 5 rocking stars and would recommend it to all.

The Authors:

Delaney Foster
Hi, I'm Delaney, and I write love stories. I love all things romance, a good glass of wine, and Saturdays at the baseball park. I DO believe leggings are pants and pumpkin spice should be a year round thing. In my stories you'll find sexy, alpha men and the strong women who love them.

Ellie Masters
Ellie Masters has been exploring the worlds of romance, dark erotica, science fiction, and fantasy, by reading and writing the stories she wants to read. When not writing, Ellie can be found outside, where her passion for all things outdoor reigns supreme: ATV-ing, scuba diving, hiking, and breathing fresh air are top on her list.

She lives with her beloved husband, two children who refuse to flee the nest, and four fur-babies; three cats who rule the household, and a dog who wants nothing other than for the cats to be his best friends. The cats are of a different mind regarding this matter.

Ellie’s favorite way to spend an evening is curled up on a couch, laptop in place, watching a fire, drinking a good wine, and bringing forth all the characters from her Mind-to-the-Page and eventually into the hearts of her readers.

JL Leslie
I am a happily married mother of three (two boys and one girl). I live in a very small town in Alabama. Never lived anywhere else. I I started self-publishing with the encouragement from my mom. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I would’ve done it. 

I get my inspiration from life experiences, movies, television, other authors, and music. 

I like to write fast-paced, steamy romance reads. I like for my males to be alpha-males and my heroines to be strong, but both need to have one weakness- each other.

JL Long
JL grew up in a small town in Illinois. Not to be mistaken for Chicago. She currently resides in Southern Kentucky with her husband, three children and their fur-baby, Buster Malone. She has lived an adventurous life…doing just that, living. Dream it. Do it. Live it. JL is a hopeless romantic, who loves seeing love unwind before her eyes. When she can’t see that for herself with other people in real life, she writes it or reads it. Writing has been a part of her life since she was a little girl, along with being an avid reader. She will continue to write until the pen will not allow it anymore.

JM Walker
J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

I write about men I want to love and places I want to go. My laptop has become like an appendage as I never know when something deliciously dirty may pop in this crazy head. 

I do my dreaming at the base of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, surrounded by handsome young men who do not pick up their laundry

Scarlett Wells 

Scarlett Wells has been a voracious reader since she was a toddler sitting in the laundry basket she used to move her library from place to place. Her love of reading has been a constant in her life and ultimately led to her sharing her own stories.
