Holiday Brides contained 3 stories each centered around a separate Holiday.
Story #1: From SKB With Love by Jewel Amethyst --4 Stars. This was my favorite story of the collection despite the insta- love. A woman join her 3 friends for a Christmas vacation in St. Kitts and finds love.
Story #2: No Ordinary Gift by Farrah Rochon --2 Stars A selfish jerk plays with heart of an insecure idiot at Kwanzaa. They lived miserably ever after. I HATED this story.
Story #3: HeavenSent.com by Stephanie Worth -- 3.5 Stars Two coworkers are helped along by 2 mischievous Angels at New Years. I liked this story but I felt it was rushed towards the end.
Overall Holiday Brides was a cute little quick read.

Just as the other reviewer states "From S.K.B. with Love" is the best story...struggled through the other two...this is the second book I've read by Jewel Amethyst...and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work...I give this book 3 stars for just the one story...I truly ENJOYED it!
This was just an okay read...Jewel Amethyst story really was really good and would have been a great stand alone story..the others were just okay....thus giving this book 3 stars just for that one story.....
