The Wish by Kim Carmichael
Oh, the intensity of wanting someone so badly that you take extreme measures in order to get it. Love is one thing that you feel is out of your control. In this story, you see what someone is willing to try in order to have their one true love. I love the emotions that are highly charged. I felt the deep desire to break through his walls to get to his heart. This story is a beautiful telling of a wish that can come true! The characters are so real, the emotions are raw and the love story is just priceless. I loved it and recommend!

Vertigo by Rue Volley
Erin was in mourning over her defunct relationship with Andy until her best friend Molly rescued her from hermithood. Taking Erin to club Vertigo changed everything and took Erin to a place she never thought she would be again.This was a very good story with a sizzling plot line. This is the first book I have read by Rue Volley and she is surely an author to watch out for.

My review for: Vertigo by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shanna Roberson
Let me say this before I start my review; there are very few authors I read that I can just read without knowing anything about the book. Rue Volley could hand me the phonebook and if she wrote it, I would adore it and probably read it a few times. I knew nothing about Vertigo before going in and I adored it!
Twenty-eight year old, Erin has had better years. With her break-up of her ‘friend with benefits’, she hit a slump when it came to dating. Not that she minded much. She has an amazing best friend, Molly and all the ‘battery operated dates’ she could ever need, but deep down she was lonely. And with the holidays closing in, it is clear how much she missed her ex, Andy.
Molly, tired of seeing her friend hole up in her apt, convinces Erin to join her for a night of naughty fun at one of the hottest sex clubs in town. One night at Vertigo and it would change everything for Erin…
In true Rue fashion, the naughty is very naughty with a very sweet aftertaste. Vertigo has all the yumminess of a totally hot erotica with the candied coated flavor of a HEA. I devoured it in one bite. Nomnomnom.

Review for Vertigo by; Rue Volley
I was given an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, so as most of Rue volley fans already know that she is a sensational Author who is talented beyond what words can describe. For those who are not familiar with her work I encourage you to give her books a try you will not be disappointed. With this being said, I can now tell you she has done it again!!
In this delectable package just in time Christmas are several surprises!! Now what Rue has wrapped up is a delicious treat that will heat up your thermostat to where you might need to shed that snuggie of yours, while she takes you into the night with Molly, who takes her BBF Erin out on the town to drive those holidays’ blues away. Now without giving anything away because I don’t want to spoil her surprise, this story will also warm your heart in one of those unexpected ways!!
This is going to be the hottest item this year! So, when this pretty package of Christmas treats becomes available I would be waiting in line to get your copy before they go flying off the shelves!!

OMG!! What a delightful story!!
Do you ever wonder if the magic of Christmas is what really makes wishes come true?
Well that is what we have here…. A girl with only one desire, and that is to have the man of here dreams who seems to be always just out of her reach. Meanwhile she has gone to some pretty extreme measures to insure her dreams come true. However, she gets more then she bargained for…
A well written story that has an excellent plot not to mention characters I just loved! Another nicely wrapped package in this incredible gift box!
Review for The Christmas Collar by: Chelle
I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, first I must say I just love this Amazing Author’s style of presenting a story!!
Now, this is a different and unique story of BDMS that I will have to say intrigued me as well as tickled my fancy!! First off, there is the handsome Eric, who just let just say has his fetishes. Then there is the adorable Mariana, who is just so taken by Eric and this brand new world of BDMS.
The climatic action was just hot!! I mean I never truly understood how much trust and commitment was involved. I will have to say I found it to be quite the turn on!!
With that being said, this one of those delectable treat that will satisfy your craving for something sinfully sweet during the holiday season!!!
Another surprise treat in this holiday gift box set!!
No Regret by; Kim McNiel
I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Holy crap!! This was just seductively hot!!!!!
Okay, so I just love Gabby, She has this no nonsense attitude but with good reason which to me is part of her charm. Not to mention she is totally beautiful and doesn’t even sees it!! Then we have trey, which is just gorgeous with hair you just want to run your finger through and a body… Well let’s just say he wears his leather well, sigh…. Now Gabby isn’t in the holiday mood and really just wants to go home and bury her head in the sand so to speak. However, her bestie at work is not going to let her off the hook that easily…
Omg, this bears repeating!! This is on hot fast pace sizzling hot read!! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!! Now my advice is to have a cold drink with plenty of ice handy!!
This certainly a very pretty package that was tucked in nicely inside this Holiday box set that you are very much going to enjoy unwrapping!!!
Twelve Strings of Christmas by Candi Delshmasgus.
I was given an arc copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
What a combination of naughty and humor!! Tasha, after being left in the middle of nowhere, literally, has ended up as a waitress at a hole in the wall bar. How did she end up there you ask? Well let’s just say she kind of does the jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire thing so to speak… So here is the fire, Nicky the bar musician who happens to be really easy on the eyes. Right off the bat the games begin and the sparks fly from the moment they meet and thing just heat up from there...
I have to tell you I love the undertone digs as well as the Canadian slang that was mixed in. To me it made the story that much more delightful delicious!!

This Review is for Vertigo by Rue Volley
I am so excited and fortunate to have been gifted an e-ARC copy of this steamy little nugget by the author in exchange for an honest review.
WARNING: An 18+ Read Only due to its sexually graphic nature.
I throughly enjoyed the storyline of this SEXY EROTIC short story, we find Erin, our main character, in a self-made situation, until her friend, Molly, steps into the picture and finds a way for Erin to take care of what is bothering her, she needs a man's touch.
As the story progresses we find Erin doing things she never imagined. I don't believe in spoilers, so let's just say that this Is ONE HAWT DAYUM read that will not only ignite the passion but will also warm the heart...

A sex-i-licious read!

**** EROTICA BOOK CLUB REVIEW ****
VERTIGO
By Rue Volley
Erin is upset when her "friend with benefits" Andy leaves her for someone 5 years younger and she stops going out but when her best friend Molly comes to drag her out for the night they go to Vertigo a sex club. When Erin bumps into Andy there she is still really attracted to him and actually has a conversation with him and still wants him.
I never seen any teasers or a cover for this book but when I got asked if I would like to review it but I immediately said yes because I have fell in love with Rue Volley's books and it didn't disappoint me.
This is a short erotic story but I really felt that I got to know the characters quite well I think that its down to the authors way of writing. This is really well written and has a really feel good feeling about it. This isn't as dark as some of the authors others reads but I loved it all the same.
There is plenty of hot sex and hot guys in it especially Andy, I like him. Lots.
I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review
5 stars for Amazon & 4 for Goodreads

12 Strings of Christmas by Candi Delshamagus
Candi rocked the Rocker-vibe like no one's business in this story about a chick with a hot-spot for musicians. Tasha is a waitress in a po-dunk town when a sizzling musician takes a job...and her lady parts. A must read if you're wanting a HOT story with a sweet ending and more humor than you would expect. Candi writes a down-right hilarious (and oh-so-naughty) story.
(It won't let me do a separate review)
Vertigo by Rue Volley
I love everything I've ever picked up by this woman and this hot number was NO different!! I loved Molly and her..*ahem* adventure. I'm not one for spoilers, so I'll just say that you're gonna need some water by the time you hit the end.

Short and sweet, Twelve Strings of Christmas is a HOT, feel-good read that will make you laugh aloud more than once!
It was quick, but packed full of fun, sex and cute lines!
I'm not normally a huge fan of short stories, but this really hit the spot and put a smile on my face at the end of a crappy day!! Thanks, Candi!

12 Strings of Christmas by Candi Delshamaus
"Do you play anything else?"
"Nope. Do you want me to?"
"Yeah. Play me."
This story pissed me off right in the beginning, let me explain, poor girl just wants to be loved and she's likes rock stars. What gal doesn't want that? I know I do it. Tasha is easy to relate to, and I felt for the chick. I truly enjoyed how Christmas linked into the book in many ways. The story pissed me off, made me giggle, and gave me hope. I know I've been in Tasha's shoes, just without the rockstars, but I want one.
Vertigo by Rue Volley
"This is why he never left my mind, this is why. It wasn't for hope of a husband, it was because of the way he could make me feel."
Now Vertigo, oh Vertigo, was steamy and yet so romantic. Took Erin right out of her comfort zone, which in the end answered all her dreams. I want a best friend like Molly, actually I need a Molly in my life. Andy, oh boy Andy, we have all had an Andy, and maybe still have an Andy. This was fantastic, but I love Rue and all she writes. Have yet to not be sucked in. Gets you and the beginning with the man hating, and makes you tear up at the end with joy and hope. Story shows that there really is just one person for everyone.
The Wish by Kim Carmichael
"With his words echoing in her mind she vowed to go through her Christmas wish."
Emma wants what every women wants, to be loved by her dream man. She does whatever it takes to get her man. She had to come out of her shyness, and got a little help to do so. This story got me from finnish to end. Truly this story shows us what a little help can do to make our Christmas wishes to come true.

My review for: Vertigo by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
So far I have read Rue Volley's short story. It was way to short, but had a lot of great detail. I loved the idea of the see thru glass rooms. That would be my kind of club. I wanted to try the horse saddle. Erin was so clueless to the sex club. Ashamed at first. She almost got her and her friend Molly kicked out. But the second time around, Erin warms up to the Idea. Molly heads off with a guy of her own. Erin tries not to stare out of shock at her best friend in the see thru glass room. Then she turns around and finds her ex-boyfriend, Andy, standing there. Walking to a glass room to talk things out ends up in a much needed sexcapade. Rue always has great ideas where sex is involved. She's the best. I will never get bored of her books. And I hope she never get bored of writing them. So patiently awaiting the next book.
The author gave me a free arc copy for an honest review.
Khelsey Jacson's story is next on my list..

I have had the pleasure to read most of these happily ever after stories and I must say I enjoyed each of them. These stories will put you in the holiday spirit for the feel good, warm fuzzies you look for when reading short romance books while curled up on the couch with that hot cup of cocoa. There are great authors in this box set that you can’t help but fall in love with.
Vertigo by Rue Volley review:
I was gifted a copy from the author for an honest review.
18+ readers only please.
This story was more than just about an outing for 2 best friends, Molly and Erin. This will allow you to have different emotions thru the entire story. Molly is tired of seeing her best friend Erin staying at home night after night since her break up with Andy. She invites her to a club that deals with different sexual needs. What Erin didn’t expect was who she would run into and what desires it would awaken in her. The story has an unexpected but exciting ending and one I truly enjoyed.

Vertigo
By: Rue Volley
Let me start by saying that I was given this short story as an ARC for an honest review.
With that being said...OMG! OMG! OMG! I freakin' love Rue Volley. I wish that there was more to this story... maybe she can come up with a full length book for these awesome characters! (hint, hint)
We meet Erin & Molly, who are BFF's. Erin is in a self-imposed exile, feeling sorry for herself, after her friends with benefits boy toy leaves her after 5 yrs together. Molly, being the awesome bff that she is, stages an "intervention" and drags Erin to a hot as hell sex club called Vertigo, where nothing is off limits. If I were Erin, I'd take that leap of faith as well & enjoy what the club has to offer. Typical Rue, she throws a few curves at you, a little emotional roller coaster ride, but what got me, was the HEA!
If you haven't read any of Rue's books, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them. Rue is an awesome author, with a talent that I can only wish that I had!!

Let me start by saying that I was given this short story as an ARC for an honest review.

i was lucky enough to get to read vertigo by the ever fabulous rue volley in exchange for an honest review, so here goes. first of all, this is so different from the normal story rue usually gives us, and the first time i have only given 4 stars. if you like some wonderfully smexy reading, then rue is definitely the author for you, and if you are a reader who MUST have h.e.a. to their story, then this is definitely a great one for you as well. and please DON'T mistake my 4 stars as she didn't like this story, because i did, i really did, but did i love it, meh, i guess i'm just a little spoiled with the books i've read in the past by rue. and if rue was writing a full novel with this storyline, i'm sure she'd have taken me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. but that being said, i DID like this short, and would recommend to others (absolutely).

This review is for 12 Strings of Christmas by Candi Delshamagus
Definitely and 18+ short, that gets your blood pumping, as well as other things. I don't know whether to recommend towels or ice! I took this whole story in, in less than 30 minutes (pun intended).
When Tasha realized she had a thing for musicians, she knew that she should avoid them, but something about them kept pulling her in. Little did she know, that Cole (aka Nicky) would turn her life upside down. But by the time she figured it out, it was too late. Or was it?
I would definitely tell EVERYONE, of age, to read this! Its quick, its hot, and its AMAZING!

Review is for Vertigo by Rue Volley
Can you say, amazing?! Rue does it again, with this Holiday story. I was a great read! I'm a newcomer to Rue's works, but after this, I'm a fan! I'll be reading more of her books. :)

Very hit and miss
Several romantic stories some good some not so much. Numerous editing errors made it very hard for me to read.

Let me just start by saying that this set is for life...not just for Christmas!
Each story is fabulously told and the set offers hours of toe curling warmth on those cold wither months...
***
Twelve Strings of Christmas by Candi Delshamagus:
It was the raunchiest, sweetest & loveliest story I have read in a while! Not only does it get you a little bit (ok…ok a big bit) hot under the collar but it has you laughing so hard... only a few sentences in and I was nearly wetting myself laughing! Tasha is one saucy minx and Cole is... well where can I get me one of them???
There were bits when I oooh-ed ahhh-ed, ah-hem-ed and literally squealed with excitement.
It will leave you with a big satisfied smile that’s for sure and if it doesn’t then you may need to shake of that inner prude and reread!
A must read on these cold nights!
***
Secret Santa by Riley Steel:
This has plenty of office romance, some great intrigue, a nasty ex, a budding relationship and enough naughtiness to keep your toes curling.
Another Fab read from the Hard Candy set!
***
Hired for the Holiday by S.J. Davies:
A Christmas cracker that really gets you glued.
This story really forced me to focus and pay attention. Although not my favourite of the collection its not one to miss.
***
One night with Claus by Khelsey Jackson:
Totally not what I was expecting! This one starts and ends with a whole lot of steam but in the middle there is the most loving relationship; the sweetest story of two people who found love through what was only meant to be a one night stand. Great characterisation, an endearing story line and so much love that you will feel warm and fuzzy inside.
A sweet story for the romantic in you!
***
Vertigo by Rue Volley:
As expected of Rue, this story offers a little kink with its passion… Talk about finding love in the most unusual places!
Erin, is disillusioned with love and relationships. She’s never been one to settle down – especially as the guy she really liked – had great sex but no real relationship with – has upped and left her for a younger model. She should be released to be free but she is crushed. Cue a fantastic friend who not only knows what’s good for her but what is just naughty enough for her too. Throw in the man of her dreams and truths that will rock her to the core and you have one of Rue’s fabulous darkly entertaining stories.
Well worth the read!
No Regret by Kim McNiel:
This tale caught my fancy immediately. Within the first few pages I was outraged on her behalf and rooting for her. Who wouldn’t hate Christmas when you catch a Santa-hat-wearing whore riding your fiancée? GRRRRR... So Gabby is a little broken at the beginning and with the prodding that only a true friend can deliver she takes an almighty risk at their masked Christmas party and seduces the new boss…When no one recognizes you why the hell not right?
There’s definite Cinderella moment and a conclusion that will have you grinning for more than one reason!
A great short from Ms McNiel!
***
The Wish by Kim Carmichael:
Emma may not have won me over but Leland certainly did and the intense night in the office is the stuff of naughty nights!
A fun little tale.
***
The Christmas Collar by Chelle:
This story balances itself out nicely with both the bondage/kink aspects and the relationship aspects equally weighted within the narrative. You can’t help but feel for Marianna and are pleased when they both come to the realisation that the blame needs shared.
A much more realistic take on the BDSM scene, for a newcomer, than that trilogy.

**Reviewed for Hooked on Book**
I gave this box set 5 stars!
Get a hot cup of cocoa, get by the fire and get comfy! The Amazing authors have come up with some Steamy, Hot Christmas stories.
Wither you like bad boys or rock stars this box set has something for everyone.
Just think with these short stories you get a new book boyfriend and some hot and steamy sex scenes.
In a lot of the books I am hoping that the author will write another story to go along with this set, where us readers can see into the characters lives after they get together.
This in my top picks for a Christmas box set.

What a hot holiday treat! The stories do not disappoint! The Twelve Strings of Christmas, Vertigo, and No Regrets were my absolute favorites! They all had HEA endings and I loved that! They may be short but they are filled with great emotions and memorable characters.

Not a Great Collection
Many of the stories are not well edited and some are just poorly written. There are a couple of stories that are worth reading. Glad I received this book for free.
