Wow! What an awesome box set.
I love christmas and pretty much anything to do with it and you can't go wrong with a bit of christmas romance.
This box set is full of great stories all with a festive romance theme. It's hard to pick favourites but the ones that stood out to me were:
Recipe for love by Ruth Cardello. I have read about Maddie and Richard before in Ms Cardello's previous books and it was great to have a look at how they met and fell in love. It was super funny, romantic and families bonding over food. I really enjoyed it.
Must love santa by Nina Bruhns was good. A hot cop stuck with posing undercover as santa and a dog lover to boot, Nick was great. Emily Hasn't been having much luck but that may change when she literally falls at the sexy cops feet. This story was fun, sexy with some added suspense and great secondary canine characters. I love those cute doggies. Really enjoyable.
Those were my two favourites but I enjoyed reading all the stories in this set. They were all well written but each different in their own ways with some exotic and more normal locations. Great characters with hot cops, cowboys and doctors to name but a few. There were lighthearted stories but also mmore emotional ones. It will definitely leave you with that warm fuzzy holiday feeling when you finish.
Easy 5 stars from me at Calling All Bookaholics :)

I found this story very moving. I enjoyed the characters very much and was moved to tears more than once over the loss the characters had and how they slowly worked through the pain. I would very much recommend this book.
A Cowboy for Christmas by Annie Jones
Oh my gosh, this book had me chuckling out loud from the beginning. It is such a sweet charming story. Of course a hunky cowboy doesn’t hurt. This is a real fun story I really enjoyed reading it. I am sure I will read it again.
The Christmas Honeymoon by Alicia Street
A really great Christmas romance story, I just loved how Serana who was so very much Christmas until becoming a jilted bride on Christmas interacts with Damien was so much Scrooge as she fights to “Take Back Christmas”. This was a delightful read. I look forward to reading more books by Alicia.
She’s Not You by Mimi Barbour
WOW this one really tugged at my heartstrings from beginning to end. The dynamic between Jesse and Layla is precious. He is a big tough guy turned to mush by a sweet child. This story has everything you could want fear, sadness, compassion, heartache, forgiveness, angst and love. I just couldn’t put it down until I finished every last word.

This a great collection of Christmas stories. All different settings and scenarios. Most have you tearing up, but in each one the magic of the season wins out.
Recipe for Love: This is a cute story of unexpected events. So much for assumptions and stereotypes. These two are in a shock when Madison accepts the help of Richard's sister to hide away for a bit. Sparks instantly fly, but can these two coexist before they kill each other, See the magic of the holiday season work it's magic on these two.
Must Love Santa: Detective Nick knows how to be on sexy Santa. A freak encounter, two horny dogs, and throw in a criminal things are bound to get interesting for Emily and Nick. Really loved this one couldn't stop reading.
An Almost Perfect Christmas: This story is so sad yet so happy. Get the tissues out for this one. I almost didn't want to read this one because I knew it was going to be a tearjerker. I'm glad I read it because it brings home the true meaning of Christmas.
Christmas Captive: This story is a little different because the hero is in a coma. A little paranormal element to it and some mystery. The time is of the essence for nurse Hannah to bring Jordan out of a coma and figure out who is after his life before it's too late.
The Army Doctor's Honeymoon Baby: For ten years these two have had feelings for one another, but Lorna fled Scotland and never looked back.

An Unusual Christmas: It took me a bit to get into this one, but boy once I did I couldn't put it down. Jillian has such hurt and guilt inside of her that she believes she can't be a good mother again, but once Fyodor and his brood crash into her life it will never be the same again. The HEA in this one warms your heart.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Ten Christmas Brides is a group of 10 holiday romances by different authors. The author that gifted the book to me wrote the 10th book, so that is where I started. I want to preface my review with the fact that Christmas romances are my not so guilty reading pleasure and I will read one whenever I get the chance. OK, here goes:
As of 11/1/14, I am on the 4th story of the collection but my 5th story overall. I find this collection very enjoyable. It is keeping me up on nights I have work the next day so that I can read more.
10. She's Not You by Mimi Barbour (4 stars)
Over all an excellent holiday read. The story line is very busy with so many different things happening you have to keep up. At first I was worried that it was so busy that Christmas would be overlooked, but holding on to the end was very worth it for the holiday touch. Jesse was a very likeable hero while I had a bit harder job liking Belle until late in the book. Yaya was adorable and well written. Unfortunately this book falls victim to my most despised pet peeve. On at least one occasion Jesse's name is misspelled and Belle is identified as Layla. Other than that the grammatical errors were limited to extra or repeated words and were easy to over look. So the book definitely makes the grade.
1. A Recipe for Love by Ruth Cardello (3 stars)
A good romance with a strong family bond, but absolutely nothing tying it to Christmas. this story could have been set at any time of the year. I think the author set it at Christmas so that it would fit into this collection. There was no tradition, no description of celebrations. A romance worth reading, but don't look for the holiday here.
2. Must Love Santa by Nina Bruhns (4 stars)
This one was holiday silly and completely loveable. A hot romance with a bit of excitement thrown in. It had me counting on the fact that it was Christmas so everything would work OK.
3. An almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano (4 stars)
Izzie is eight and dieing. Her Dad wants to give her a perfect last Christmas. This story was emotionly difficult but still very good to read. I also enjoyed the beach setting. As I am in the process of working through grief issues myself, I think this story will stay with me for a long time.

I received a advanced copy of the book, in exchange for a Honest Review
Ten Christmas Brides boxed set is absolutely wonderful ! Having read Ruth Cardello’s billionaire series, it was nice to find out the back story to Maddy and Richard’s romance in France. Considering the important part that Maddy plays all though the billionaire series, it was nice to be introduced to her as a young girl before she met the love of her life. Richard was also marvelous. I loved the way he created wonderful new dishes in the kitchen when in love and burnt everything in the restaurant when she went away…
Detective Nick makes a hot Santa as Emily discovers in Must Love Santa by Nina Bruhns. The dogs are as adorable as their owners in this story. Of course the running to rescue the damsel in distress is beautifully done as well.
An Almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano made me cry smile through the tears. It has the heart breaking tale of how two parents, who both lost a child, connect over shared grief. The story is simple, the characters so well sketched and the love that grows totally believable. As always Donna weaves a story that tugs on your heart strings.
Aaron is a successful businessman who wants to give his cancer ridden daughter her last wish - A family christmas celebration. Chrissy is a pediatric nurse who decides to help him as she was unable to fulfill her own daughter's last wish. Izzy, the little patient has more serious plans for the two of them. I loved this story! Kudos to the author for taking a very sensitive issue for grieving parents and turning it into a life lesson, where while everything may never be perfect, it can be almost perfect.
And this is just the first three stories in the box. Looking forward to reading the rest

Having only read the first two stories in this collection I know I will have much fun reading to come between now and Christmas. If the first two are anything to go by these stories are steamy and loving and full of fun!
The first story in this bundle was written by Ruth Cardello and is about a college graduate from a wealthy loving family who has just heard a “secret” and is not happy so flies off in her private jet to France. This story of Madison and Richard, the wealthy princess and the talented chef, is one that is sweet and loving and filled with the message that family and love of family is very important. As with all love stories there is a glitch to deal with but it is also a happily ever after story perfect for the holidays.
The second book is by Nina Bruns and is the story of Nick and Emily. He is a vice cop trying to catch a human trafficker before joining the K-9 squad and she is looking for a new job in the city that will provide more excitement than she had in small town New Hampshire. There is chemistry and fun with an almost love at first sight beginning. There is also danger and action before the happy ending. Another great story for the holidays.
I can hardly wait to read the rest of the books in this bundle…eight more to go and eager to read each and every one of them! And…how can you beat the price at 99cents for all ten?

Recipe for Love by Ruth Cardello is a story about a young woman trying to escape her family and falls for a sexy French chef. If you read the Legacy series and the Andreas series you'll know Maddie. This is her story and I loved it. I only wished it was a full length novel. All of these stories had their own special meaning. Some tearing at your heartstrings but love and Christmas taking over. This is a wonderful set of novellas written by magnificent authors. You couldn't have asked for a better set and such a wonderful price. I highly recommend this and hope you grab this for the holiday season. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I know I wasn't.

I love Christmas anthologies. I love reading various holiday stories that make me feel good. And I went into this set with high hopes.
All the stories began well enough. I liked their premises, H/h's, and humor and/or descriptions. But what I did not like was the very, very graphic sex scenes in some of them. I did not think they contributed to the stories; i.e., they did not move the plot along. Many readers like that description; I happen not to be one of them, and I actually put the book down and moved on to a new one.

this is a wonderful opportunity to discover new authors and to come home to the tried and true. Like so many I too have my favorite but it was neat to read other authors too. Ten story's of love, now what could be better than that at a time of the year when we may need to be reminded of good things in the hustle and bustle of the season.

Ten best selling authors have put together ten awesome reads of romance, Christmas magic and love. A must read collection that is fast paced and delicious from the first page to the last. Highly recommended for your Christmas pleasure. It was hard to pick just one favorite. Some were new to me authors, some old favorites, ALL were absolute delights.

I finally finished this set of romances. They were a mixture from erotic to sweet with several in between. With ratings from 3.5* to with three 5*'s, I've given the whole set a 4.5* rating and It's not for the under 18 readers. Some were wonderful, while other's I could hardly get through them. Just keep this in mind when buying sets with various authors.

All the novellas in this anthology are self-contained stories with no teasers. I liked most of the stories, but the body count seemed pretty high - out of ten novellas there were six dead spouses, four dead children, and several people whose parents died while they were young.
Recipe for Love by Ruth Cardello: The very immature heroine meets the jaded hero in France. This is ok, but be aware that the hero makes a big life decision for the heroine without her input.
Must Love Santa by Nina Bruhns: I really liked this story about a cop trying to solve a human trafficking case and meets a woman moving to NYC for a job. I particularly liked that she solved a major part of the case in a very believable way.
An Almost Perfect Christmas by Donna Fasano:The heroine is an oncology nurse who helps a widower make a perfect Christmas for his very ill daughter. There's no way you can't go super sweet with a plot line like this, but I liked it anyway.
Christmas Captive by Rebecca York: This was terrible. It's about a nurse/psychic (not a problem) who travels to a remote mansion to care for a rich handsome guy in a coma. He was attacked by a mysterious person and is possibly in danger. The heroine feels an immediate bond with the hero and considers having sex with him to pull him out of his coma (that's the problem). They have sex while she's in his dreamworld (so only mentally after all) and fall instantly in love. The tension at the end is caused by the typical "why didn't he just tell her that" plot point.
The Army Doctor's Honeymoon Baby by Helen Scott Taylor: The hero is a British army doctor working in Africa with an aid worker who is his childhood love. They get captured by rebels, but eventually go back to where they both grew up in Scotland. I liked this one: it is a basic, gentle story.
Kiss Me Santa by Patrice Wilton: This was a really nice story. A widow with a young boy has to sell her home and the hero is the realtor.
An Unusual Christmas by Mona Risk: I really liked this very complete novella. The heroine, a pediatrician working for an American aid group, is on a six month assignment to bring up-to-date equipment and supplies to a hospital in Belarus. The hero is the hospital director. My only wish is that I could have heard that awesome Russian accent.
A Cowboy for Christmas by Annie Jones: This novella is the most irritating thing I have read in a very long time. The heroine, a widow with a small boy, has bought a run down dude ranch sight unseen and hires the hero, an injured rodeo rider, to oversee the renovations. The heroine is prissy and unable to admit making a mistake or not being knowledgable about everything despite having no experience. The hero, whose wife and son both died, knows he's a sap for a sob story, but falls in love with the heroine despite her continual rudeness. The son tells everyone that the hero is his new dad and for some reason all the adults believe the boy rather than his mother. The hero knows about the dad thing from the beginning, but he never takes the boy aside for a talk and just lets it ride while he decides if he's going to stick around or not.
The Christmas Honeymoon by Alicia Street: Small town girl goes back home to the town where she was dumped by her fiancé two weeks before their wedding so he could marry his pregnant ex-girlfriend. Basic stuff - she's shy, people pleasing, and doesn't know she's beautiful, but learns to take care of herself. It's a nice story.
She's Not You by Mimi Barbour: This story was okish, but it took the pining for the high school girlfriend thing to a new low. I think the hero is in his early thirties and he has a photo of the girlfriend on his bedside table. Since he's only house sitting for his sister, I guess he travels with it. Ick. The heroine is a widow with a very young daughter who is befriended by the hero when he sees the daughter crying in the hallway between their apartments. The ex-girlfriend turns out to be the heroine's step-sister. There were quite a few editing problems including using he when it should have been she, using the wrong character's name, and words missing from sentences.
This anthology was good. A few of the stories were clunkers, but most were fine or better.

Genre: Contemporary Christmas Anthology
This is a collection of 10 short stories and novellas. Overall, an interesting collection, though most were predictable. There were a variety of settings, from Africa, Scotland, and Belarus, to both coasts of the US. The one stand-out story for me was Christmas Captive by Rebecca York, which had an interesting premise and enjoyable characters. It was so different from the others.
I can't do a decent review because I didn't zoom right through as I usually do, therefore I can't remember specifics. Maybe next time I'll make notes. Sufficient to say that some of the stories made me want to roll my eyes from the sheer predictability of the plots. And the plot devices! Some made me want to scream. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I hate stupid as plot device. And stubbornness/lack of communication.
This was inexpensive, and if you have time (I think you could read this and watch TV at the same time), it's okay.

This box set is fabulous! There's quite the variety of stories - from steamy and erotic to mysterious and contemporary, it's a little something for everyone :) It's a wonderful collection for lovers of the Holiday Romance sub-genre, and fun quick reads for those of us who just enjoy a great love story.
Each story has it's own unique characteristics that make it great. Every one takes the reader to a new and sometimes exotic place that enhances the wonderment factor and the holiday spirit, as well as several well developed and likable characters.
