This anthology was such a fun holiday surprise. Every author showed up and delivered something different and I loved how each story kept me hooked. I was smiling, blushing, overheating, and fully in it from the first page to the last.

The spice was amazing and the romance pulled me right in. The little twists were great and the holiday vibes made everything feel warm and a little wicked at the same time.

And honestly knowing all these authors teamed up for charity made it even better. The talent, the heart, the vibes… it all worked so well.

If you want a festive read that’s fun, spicy, emotional, and super easy to fall into, this is the one. I enjoyed every single story and I would reread the whole thing in a heartbeat.

What a ride. Now I’m not big into Christmas but these ladies have something for everyone!

Britt’s was great with the right amount of smut

Chantal.. santa really did that huh lol.

Dahlia.. the three beasts def found their Belle

Deann… I’ve never read anything from her but this was really good. When you and your dog do a double date but it works out in the end

Emmy.. pregnancy is in this one. But the story itself is good!

This entire thing is a quick read and will have you feeling all the things as you read!

Highly recommend

This Christmas Temptation Anthology is an absolute delight! Each story is packed with just the right amount of spice and romance, leaving me wanting more long after I finished. This is the perfect holiday read if you’re craving a little darkness paired with a whole lot of heat.

What I loved most is how each of the five authors put their own unique twist on their stories. This entire book sucked me in and didn’t let go until the very end. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, temptation, and festive fun!

On top of that, every penny goes to the Ronald McDonald House to support families in need this holiday season—a heartwarming bonus to an already irresistible read. Highly recommend!!

Whew!!! Get ready for 5 short holiday hot and steamy perfect reads! Each author delivered us with a spicy little holiday twist.

I was lured in from the first sentence and I couldn’t stop! It was pure spicy perfection. I couldn’t get enough. If you want quick reads that give you some plot, lots of spice, a touch of darkness, and when you purchase the book it supports a good cause, then you MUST add this book to your collection!

Britt gives us her perfect spicy hockey romance, as always! Chantal gives us a Santa that we will all want showing up on Christmas morning. Dahlia has Belle finding not one beast, but three. Deann gives us a couple who double dates with their dog that turns spicy with a candy cane. And Emmy gives us a daddy kink and a pregnancy in a snowstorm.

5 Authors, 5 Stories, 5 reasons why you NEED to buy and read this Christmas Anthology!!

Each story is a short novella that are all jam packed with spice and love and Christmas cheer. Oh and did I say spice?!

They are all OTT Insta-love stories that I can't be mad at. I love everything about these stories. Each written differently, yet still all seeming to be super cohesive.

I don't know if they were intentional, but each Author wrote their story with the possibility of being turned into more 😏 Hopefully we can get what we want!!

The BEST part about this Anthology is that all proceeds from the sales are going to the Ronald McDonald House!!

This anthology ended up being the most delightful holiday surprise. Each author brought something unique to the table, and every story pulled me in instantly. I found myself grinning, blushing, overheating, and fully invested from start to finish.

The steam was on point, the romance was effortless to sink into, and the little twists kept things exciting. The holiday atmosphere wrapped it all in that perfect blend of cozy and slightly naughty.

And honestly, the fact that all these authors came together for a charitable cause made it feel even more special. The creativity, the passion, the festive energy—it all clicked beautifully.

If you’re looking for a holiday read that’s fun, spicy, emotional, and incredibly easy to get lost in, this one delivers. I loved every story and would reread the entire collection without hesitation. 🎁✨🔥

There are dark themes that can be triggering so please check out the content warning before you dive in 🚩

My thoughts 💭
This is such a great, fun and spicey read! I can tell they had fun writing these stories and they leave you thinking…maybe just maybe these will be turned into individual full length novels 🫣 this is a quick, palette cleanse that I was able to enjoy in one sitting. If you are looking for something fast and fun with a little bit of darkness and a lotta bit of spice, then this is definitely for you.

✨I would like to thank authors Britt Lynn, Chantal. H, Dahlia A. Wolf, Deann Soleil, and Emmy Crimson for the opportunity to read and review Christmas Temptation.

[Darkstellarlove · Rating 4 out of 5]

𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is a dark romance Christmas anthology, and it blends festive vibes with morally grey temptation really well. Since it’s a multi-author collection, every story feels different — different dynamics, different levels of darkness — but all tied together by the holiday setting.

What I liked most was how the darkness didn’t feel out of place. The Christmas backdrop actually made the obsession, forbidden attraction, and intense emotions hit harder. Some stories leaned more psychological and possessive, while others were spicy and emotionally charged. A few stood out enough that I wished they were full-length books.

As with most anthologies, not every story landed the same for me, and some ended just when things were getting really good. Still, none felt sloppy or unfinished, which is a win.

Overall, this is a great pick if you want romance with holiday aesthetics —
quick to read, intense, and perfect for December mood reading.

5 reasons to spend some quality reading time!

This anthology is such a great way for some self-care leading up to Christmas!

Each story is different, each has a unique writing style, a different voice and character dynamics.

Each one is straight to the spice, which I love, the characters don’t mess around but each story has built enough of its own world with such little time constraints.

IF you love spicy holiday themed reads, this one is for you!

Happy Reading
😊🎄🔥

This anthology was written with tons of spice, and still a good plot. The stories are written about different themes which I really enjoyed that the stories written weren’t tied into each of the authors theme they wrote about they weren’t tied into the theme written before very different choices of themes and I was able to devour this book up. If it were for adult responsibilities I woulda finished it in a day.

[Brooklyn L. Wolves · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved these five amazing stories by five amazing authors. Each story was beautifully written and it was for a great cause. The only thing I didn’t like was the chapter headers and their text, it was hard to read. Overall it was a lovely Christmas Anthology.

[Cierras_reading.corner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great read for anyone that is wanting multiple short stories to read. This book is perfect because you have different tropes for each book. Even if you don’t like a certain story you have plenty of others to love. Each story is own their own but come together for a great holiday read.

[DMesser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fun read that supports an amazing cause. Each book focused on falling in love on Christmas and it touched on so many different tropes. You have possessive and obsessed, forbidden, second chance, and so much more. Truly enjoyed it.

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when reading this as I’ve never read an anthology before but I’m so glad I read this one. Five amazing short stories by five authors all in one book and it’s for a good cause? I mean what more could I have asked for?! This was such a fun spicy Christmas read! I love that each books writing style was unique but also worked well together. I love that each book had different tropes and all had amazing spice that had me constantly blushing. This was such a fun fast paced read and I had a great time while reading it.
