The Donovan Friends #4
Under the Mistletoe
‘Tis the season for falling in love... in the workplace, at the mall or on an impromptu trip to a luxurious ski resort…all they need is a little moonlight and lots of mistletoe! Holiday Hearts As a result of her parents' messy divorce, Keysa Donovan refuses to celebrate Christmas or to let herself fall in love. A successful marketing exec, she's positive she doesn't need anything or anyone else in her life to be happy. Until Ian Sanchez, her sexy co-worker, catches her off guard with homemade cocoa, old holiday movies and kisses that promise the heat of pleasure. Now, Keysa's second guessing everything she thought she believed and wondering if Ian's touch is worth risking her heart this holiday season. The Christmas Wish Lynn Desdune was burned by her first husband and left to raise their young son, Jeremy, alone. This year, Jeremy’s final Christmas wish before he believes what his classmates have told him about there being no Santa Claus, he will test fate one more time and ask the big man in red to bring him a dad and his mother a husband. Brice Wellington’s vow to begin his holiday shopping early this year pays off when he runs into a little boy at the mall. When he meets the boy’s mother Brice finds himself adding the pretty woman’s name to his shopping list and vows to make her and her precious little boy believe in the magic of Christmas again. A Snowflake Seduction A jilted bride and a jilted groom meet up to discover that a rebound romance in an erotic themed hotel just might be the remedy for all their problems! Sydney Mills gets some devastating news ten minutes before her wedding and runs off for a solo honeymoon in Aspen. After saving himself and his bride-to-be from a horrific life-altering mistake, Kyle Jackson, takes time for a little R&R at his favorite ski resort. A Valentine’s Day love affair was not on the agenda for either of them, but before this trip ends, one will be madly in love and the other will be faced with the biggest decision of their life.

Yummiest at its finest
Fell in love with this couple both running away from near fatal mistakes to find themselves falling in love again. Sydney Mills is about to be married to a football player and on the day of the wedding she meets his mistress and finds out they have a child together. She leaves him standing at the altar. And goes on their planned honeymoon alone.
Kyle Jackson left his wife to be at the altar because he finally realized he did not love her. He goes to his hide out to work and find himself.
But fate steps in and oh my goodness when its right both parties know it. But can people fall in love with each other in a weeks time? Will the (injured parties) come between this couple? Come get this story and find out. Only problem is that this story had nothing to do with mistletoe or holidays. But I still loved it.

The Christmas Wish
5 out of 5 stars
Sometimes kids say and request the darnedest things. When a Christmas wish and Santa are involved, you better watch out. This book gave me that warm feeling I always get when wishes do come true. Maybe I need to go visit Santa. I really enjoyed this book.
A Snowflake Seduction
I enjoy reading stories where bad things that occur lead to the best things possible. The two main characters quickly discover that the bad things quickly led to a forever love. The hotel activities where they met were hilarious. I enjoyed reading about their blossoming love.

Seems like a nice enough set, but just didn't catch my interest. Couldn't get into the story, so moved on to another book.

A wonderful Christmas anthology to get you in the mood for the holidays.
Holiday Hearts was a re-read for me. I own the stand alone book. Loved Keysa Donovan and Ian Sanchez's vibe. It was great revisiting their story.
I was happy to see Lynn Desdune's story come to life. She was first introduced in her sister Bree's book "Guarding His Body". Lynn needed to believe in love again and Brice Wellington was just the man to make Jeremy's wish come true for his mother.
Snowflake Seduction was the last story in the anthology and introduced Sydney Mills and Kyle Jackson to us. Their story was sizzling hot and a great ending to an amazing book. A highly recommended purchase.

Loved this anthology with two old favorites and a new one in the Donovan family and friends. Lynn Desdune and Brice Wellington burned the pages in A Christmas and we got to catch up with an old favorite Holiday Hearts revisiting Ian & Keysa road to holiday love. Finally, A Snowflake Seduction finds a jilted bride and a jilted groom meet at a resort and find love on the slopes. This was a sizzling read that I enjoyed re-reading two stories and loved the new installment.

Once again A.C. Arthur does not disappointment. This book contains three short stories that will certainly get you in the holiday mood. I appreciated how she intertwined in these stories. My most favorite was The Christmas Wish and how she intertwined faith, hope and trust within it. Excellent book to get you in the Christmas mood.

Loved, loved, loved it! You can never go wrong with a Donovan story and Holiday Hearts is a wonderful Christmas story. The Christmas Wish is Lynn Desdune's story and was worth the wait. The scorcher of the book (Caliente) is The Snowflake Seduction. This story is HOT and hilarious all in one.

Under The Mistletoe(A Holiday Anthology)
This book consisted of three stories. My favorite was "The Snowflake Seduction". Two strangers meet at a ski resort. Not knowing that they both had left someone at the altar.
