Several good stories.

12 Days of Temptation...5 stars
This is one extremely hot story. Kate is getting divorced and writes a letter to Santa. Brock finds the letter and decides he is all she needs. They start texting and he brings out a side she never knew she had.

SECRET SANTA...2 stars
If you haven't read any of these you will be totally confused...like me. I thought it was confusing, you really didn't know when one stopped talking and the other started.

When Kaye's car goes in the ditch she calls Eli to help her out. He takes her back to his families house and she spends Christmas with them.

RUMOR.....5 STARS

Zane and Cady have a one night stand whole she's visiting family in the States. Zane is a hockey player and she is in college in Ireland. After she goes back they email, text, and talk to each other. Develop a friendship that turns to love. Told in first person ( not a fan ) but both of their povs are told.

STAKING HIS CLAIM...3 Stars
Elaina moves with her aunt and uncle after her mother passes away. Raul knew he had to have her the first time he saw her. I can't make up whether I liked this story or not. Raul was an ass. Elaina is a twit. She kept her age from him. He thought she was only 18 and she was really 21. I wanted to smack them both.

MY LOVE.....5 Stars
Bobby and Sophie didn't want children. His mom was bipolar and Sophie's brother was killed at 18. She never wanted to go thru what her parents went thru. They are getting ready to go on their annual Christmas vacation to the city when she finds out she's pregnant. She intends to tell him but he has his own surprise. Great story.

EGGNOG AND CANDYCANES....3 Stars
Katie is a nurse and Nash is a doctor. When he comes to town for Christmas, they are stuck working together.  He has come back for her. She realizes she wants to be an interior designer. The story is from Katie's point of view only. I'm not a fan of one pov. She see sawed to much between liking him and not.

WRAPPED...5 Stars

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an amazing box set to get...my favorite author Sawyer Bennett is included in this box set with another amazing story in the series Off Sides...Off Season.....

.Wow Wow Wow ....Zane Kavanaugh is a professional ice hockey player for the Phoenix Coyotes and is known as a player....so why when he meets Cady Dunne does he feel that the No Regrets One Night Stand feeling is NOT what he is feeling !! Does Cady feel the same thing or does the realization of her living in Ireland and he in the States make a difference. But after a few months of emailing, texting and or talking in the phone everyday change things between them . Can they make a LONG.... distance relationship work or is it just to much for them to try and figure out how it make it work ?? With his NHL career and her studies for her Masters Degree which one will or try to give up there dream for love ?? Zane and his sexy deep rich voice will get you every time !!

This was another in a long line of fantastic stories from Sawyer !! This series in phenomenal , not just because I am a BiG Ice Hockey fan but because I can relate to the players and there schedules and how it is all incorporated into the stories, a Firefighters Wife, a Music Lover and a Thankful Individual for our Veterans.....but also because the writing is on POINT !!

It was awesome to hear and have the other characters from past books in this series come to there aid !! Loved it !! Linc, Nix, Flynn, Cillian ...

[Bette Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've only read 2 of the stories included within this set and can tell you this is one collection you don't want to miss!! This will keep you completely entertained throughout the holiday season.

Off Season by Sawyer Bennett 5 stars (I'd give it more if I could!!) I loved this story so freakin much!!! It was great to get back to the Off series from Sawyer Bennett and Cady is a character from a prior book that I loved so I was happy to read about her again. When she hooks up with Zane, a teammate of Linc's, for a one night stand while visiting from Ireland, little does she know her world will never be the same. Zane has always loved the ladies, but after a night with the Irish lass Cady, she is the only one filling his thoughts. But how can you have a relationship with someone who is more than an ocean away. You will want to read this one!

Twelve Days of Temptation by Ruth Cardello 5 stars Loved this fun, hot, sexy holiday read. After a failed marriage and the death of her mother Kate returns to her home town made at the world. She takes out her frustration in a letter to Santa. Things get really interesting when she drops the letter and long time crush Brock finds it and decides to grant all her wishes!! This is just the beginning of the story and I can't wait to read more.

I have read many of these wonderful authors and they are brilliant! I have not read the entire collection yet but I have read the wonderful books by J.S. Scott and Cali MacKay. I have posted my reviews for those two books here and I need to get back to the collection!! Exciting!

Mine For Christmas J.S. Scott


I have been addicted to J.S. Scott's Billionaire Obsession series since I read Simon Hudson and Kara's brilliant romance. I was so excited when I learned that this Novella would feature Simon and Kara. It felt like going home again. This was a beautiful story, once again Jan (J.S. Scott) delivers the best. This is a wonderful Christmas present to warm up your winter.





Mermaid Isle Christmas by Cali MacKay

I actually read this story a while ago as part of A Maine Christmas Or Two. I enjoyed it very much and even more so now that Cali has added a bit more to this sensual, steamy, erotic, heart melting romance between a heart broken shell of a man, Aiden who just happens to be hotter than *** which warms things up in a raging blizzard and the beautiful Chloe who is struggling with some personal issues too. Will this be a Christmas to remember or one they want to forget? The Mermaid Isle Series is wonderful. I have loved every book in that series!

[DCT · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love anthologies, as it gives you an opportunity to sample the work of authors you are not familiar with. However, in this instance, the Off Series was how I first became acquainted with Sawyer Bennetts' work, and I have been an avid fan ever since. What a precious way to wrap up this series, than with this sweet Holiday novella. This was a straight forward, old fashioned, woo the girl romance. The intimacy was not only physical (which was hot, btw) but the emails and connection made with this couple was sheer brilliance. It was simple, yet effective, and it was the perfect way for this couple and the reader to get to know more about it each other, and to see the magic of Sawyer come to life. Also loved the subtle references to characters from some of the previous Off stories. When you are in the mood for a sweet love story that will make your heart smile and make you feel all warm inside, Off Season is for you. Thank you Sawyer for the ARC, which is a most appreciated early Holiday gift. Looking forward to more hot hockey players in my future, LOL! I will get to reading the work of the other authors, but it is worth the price of admission to get this great read by one of my favs!

Mine for Christmas !!! By J S Scott
This was a great addition to Kara and Simon .. Kara wanted a another baby and
Simon did not he thought Ginny was enough.. But Kara thought she lost the sex appeal she once had with Simon.
While Simon and Kara was a dinner one night Kara got a call from Maddie and she needed to go to the
clinic to check on a little boy named Tim.. All I can say this a wonderful book to read and I could not help as cried a little bit .

Ruth Cardello
I loved the idea Of a woman writing to Santa Claus
you don't read about that everyday .. This was amazing
cute and wonder story and you can read it all in a night I know I did .
I felt bad for Kate tho because nobody it town wanted to get to know her
and talked behind her back .. until she gets a letter back from the elf
and some fantasies do come true !!!!!!!!!!!!


Also Kathleen Brooks I love to to visit Keeneston

[Victoria · Rating 4 out of 5]

I bought this anthology specifically to read Rumor by Skye Jordan.
If I read others in this bundle, I'll add to this review.

RUMOR by SKYE JORDAN
4.25 RATING- Short, sexy, and sweet...another great addition to the Renegades series. Glad Josh got his HEA after all. This series has been a lot of fun to read. I've enjoyed the characters (for the most part) and the writing and steam were well done. I'm only sad that this is the end of the Renegades series. It's been a must read for me since book one. Looking forward to what the author has coming out next. Whether she's writing as Skye Jordan or Joan Swan, she's always a favorite of mine

[SL · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had already read MM's story, so I won't rate that one here (it was great!). Ruth Cardello's was such a teaser that I finished, stopped reading this anthology, and bought her next book (Be My Temptation-see my review). JSS's story was good but I hadn't read the previous books that introed this one, so I felt like I was missing something (which I was). I LOVED Sawyer Bennett's contribution, but then I've loved all of her work. Skye Jordan's Renegades selection was just as great as the other books in the series.

I really only bought this book for RC, SJ, and SB's work, and they didn't disappoint. 5 stars for all of their stories!!

[Michele A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall I enjoyed this collection. I was able to read some authors that I hadn't read before and got a feel for how they write and a look at some of the characters in their series. Was a good investment and was overall very satisfied. I did, however, have some problems with some of the stories ending of a cliffhanger and then having to buy the next story to see how it was going to end. In one case, I bought the second story and the story line still was done. Some of the stories were a bit out of my comfort zone but the title did say "naughty" so I was forewarned and that's all I can ask for.

[Mary Mooney · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a boxed set from some great authors which makes this set amazing. I have read a few of these stories and Off Season by Sawyer Bennett is my favorite so far. I love this series by her. And I can't wait to read the rest. I love to find a box set that has authors that I love and a few I haven't read yet. this only makes the set that much more appealing. Each story that I have read will keep you glued to each page ready for more. So read it together or split up the stories and enjoy each one.
**E-copy of Off Season provided by the author in exchange for my honest review**

[Lacy · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite book couples Simon & Kara. This book is such a sweet tug on your heart strings Christmas romance.
Kara feels as though there is distance growing between her and Simon and she's having insecurities about herself after having a baby.
Simon is still the alpha we all love but he's holding back, but not for the reason Kara thinks he is.
Prepare yourself for some steamy romance and a Christmas gift that will leave you needing some tissues.

[Theresa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great box set. There r really awesome authors in this set. JS. Scott is one off my favorite authors. Simon and Sara's story is heart stopping ( even the second time reading it)' great great story. I'm glad I bought this set. I'm not big on sets but this one was a must, as I said J.S. was apart of it. The stories keep u wanting.. Thank to all authors for giving us story that takes us to another place. It's great to get away, even in a book. #FANFREAKENTASTIC!!!!

[Jackie Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a amazing price only 77p for a boxed set.
These are some of my favourite authors and I could not wait to read. Sawyer Bennett gives us another great novella in the Off Series and to me that was worth buying the set for but you get some great reads on top of this.
Excellent Christmas Gift for under a pound
Thanks to all the authors for putting it together for us

[Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't really rate this book fairly. I only read Sawyer's novella. I have grown to only enjoy reading books written in the character's POV. However, I will read Skye's eventually because I love her Renegade series. I'm not familiar with the other authors.

With all that said...I LOVED Sawyer's book!!! Thus, the high rating.

[Andrea Chambliss · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Christmas Anthology

This book has kept me entertained for over a week. No, I am a pretty fast reader. After finishing each novella I have went on Amazon and ordered more books by these talented authors. Warning some of the authors are extremely spicy. If that is a problem, then be aware because the scenes are scorching. Happy Holidays!

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

n and Kara are one of my favorite couples. It was fantastic visiting them again!

Really looking forward to reading the other stories, some are new authors for me, but that is just the oportunity to find future books to read.

[Donna Porter · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set contains some of my favorite authors and the stories are wonderful. They will really put you in the Christmas spirit. Mine for Christmas is wonderful as are all the stories. This will be the best .99 you ever spent.

[Liz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this holiday collection, not one story in the set which I didn't enjoy. Perfect reading for a cold wintery night. I'll be looking up some of the authors that I'd not come across before and reading some more of their work.

[Janet L. Hage · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great collection not to be read alone

Collection of Christmas stories for the morning mature adult readers. Great entertainment and better instructional manual for those so inclined. Each story can be deadlines own.

Great bedtime reading

Most are standalone but a few need follow up books! Great choice of authors! Just kick off your shoes and enjoy .....

[Alison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the books in this collection are 4 to 4.5 stars in my opinion but I have marked the collection down To 3 stars as some of the books are a complete novellas (fantastic) and some are just a little prequel to a further full book which irritated me a little. I have read most of the authors several times before but I did feel a bit let down for some reason, saying that I will definitely be buying the other books just because the stories really drew me in and i need to know what happens next.
Will definitely think twice about buying a collection like this in future and that makes me sad as it is a great way to be introduced to other authors.
I realise that this review may sound unfair (and 3 stars is a bit mean I agree!) but we're all entitle to our opinion.

The Billionnaires Obsession - A Simon & Kara Novella. J S Scott
Loved it! Dealt with a real issue between couples after they start a family, just gorgeous!

12 Days of Temptation. Ruth Cardello
Really enjoyed this story it was definitely steamy, I loved the naughtiness of the story line and am glad that Kate and Brock's story will continue because to have them go straight into HEA would not have worked. Any naughty Christmas Elves out there I'm free! LOL!!

Secret Santa. Kathleen Brooks
This is the book that made me fall for Cy, have read it many times and will read it many more!

Christmas with the Alexanders. M Malone
Argh really enjoyed this book but Argh. This is one I felt ripped off with I loved the storyline but I felt a bit let down can't actually explain why. Will definitely be reading the next book though!

Rumor. Skye Jordan
Sigh - unrequited love on both sides that comes together in such a lovely but hit way - sigh.

Off season. Sawyer Bennett
This book made me remember how much I love the off sides series with have to do another read of them and catch up with any new books by this author.

Staking His Claim by Linda Chance
Took me a while to get into this one but ended up really enjoying I loved the fact that Elaina was protecting her heart from Raul was also Trying to do the same. This really tugged at the Heart strings.

My love. Melanie Shawn
Such a lovely caring book but with strong characters (my favorite kind) my heart was in my mouth in parts just because the writing was so good I felt I was part of them both.

A Mermaid Isle Christmas. Cali MacKay
Not my favorite they fell in love too easy they didn't work have enough for it in my opinion (sorry!) but maybe I didn't give it a good enough chance will read it again in a few weeks.

Wrapped. Evelyn Adams
I absolutely loved this book but I also think that it was the wrong choice for this collection as it was basically a prequel that finished on a cliff hanger. I can't wait to read the rest of this book but I do think it was a shameless sales tactic to sell more books. (Sorry - my opinion remember!)
I loved the way Eric and Julie reignited their young love into something more mature and lasting, just over the course of 24 hours. I especially loved how he cooked for her and could practically see and taste the soup, and all the other little touches that made her feel so special and cared for.

[Barbara Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent collection of stories

I loved this collection of stories from some of my favorite authors and some that have now become favorite authors. I have added them to my notifications list because I loved their writings in this book. I also loved reading the short stories that continue from authors whose series I have read. The continuation of these stories was awesome. Thanks...
