Lady Talbot’s Perfectly, Terrible Holiday by Kathleen Ayers- Maria, Lady Talbot, has finally fallen in love again with the dashing Viscount Balwyn and plans to wed him. Unfortunately, Balwyn’s family doesn’t think Maria is viscountess material. But Maria isn’t about to give up. What better way to prove her suitability than hosting them for the holidays? A flurry of preparations ensues. Greenery. Merriment. A feast for Christmas dinner. It’s going to be perfect… until absolutely everything goes wrong!
A Carol of Grace by Diana Bold- Silas Frostwick, The Earl of Coldharbor, hates Christmas. It's taken too much from him, and he's become something of a recluse, refusing to participate in any of the festivities. But when he is visited by three ghosts, who show him how much his choices have hurt those who love him, he realizes he must make amends. Will Grace Hollybrook, the upstairs maid he'd once been passionately in love with, let him prove he's a changed man?
Duke Hard by Sadie Bosque- Once the last child leaves the nest, the duke and duchess’s marriage of convenience is over—that was the deal. But when a Christmas celebration turns perilous, they must fight not just for their lives, but for a love they thought had never touched their marriage.
Naughty for Sir Nicholas by Charlie Lane- Sir Nicholas Bowen is a silver alchemist and charming rogue by day and a masked do-gooder by night. After he leaves gifts for a group of orphans one Christmas Eve, he’s enraged to learn the duke who runs the foundling hospital threw the toys out. This year, Nico isn’t going to let that happen, no matter how many guards the duke is paying to keep him out, and despite the warnings of a prim and pretty governess who could discover his true identity with a single kiss…
Home Unchaperoned by Courtney McCaskill- Catriona McCallister has always been the black sheep of her family, but she never thought they’d forget her entirely! But now, her family is halfway to Paris, she’s snowed in all alone, and a pair of thieves is bent on robbing the family castle. There’s only one person close enough to come to her aid—the mysterious Englishman who recently leased the gamekeeper’s cottage. He’s rumored to be a viscount. Unfortunately for Catriona, he’s also rumored to be a murderer…
Miracle in Mayfair by Cecilia Rene- Cornelius Harcourt, the 10th Earl of Latchwood, has lost everything—his father, three brothers, his fortune, and nearly his will to live. When he saves a mysterious, beautiful woman, the lines of reality and the impossible blur. Will he discover he really had a wonderful life, and will Imogen St. Croix finally be granted what she’s dreamed of for a hundred years, her wings?
Sugar Plums and the Christmas Curmudgeon by Tabetha Waite- Claire Meyer has studied special exercises to help those afflicted with severe injuries. When she is asked to attend to a recluse in the Cotswolds, she does so without hesitation, but she soon learns that the Earl of Darville's issues aren't physical at all. He's just quite disagreeable.

I will start off saying, I am truthfully not a fan of these anthologies. They are just too short and rarely do authors get much depth in them but there are quite a few of my favorites authors in this one so I went ahead and got it. Plus the spin from other popular stories sounded interesting. There are 8 authors in this Anthology but I only read 5 authors on the list so those were the only stories I read.
Lady Talbot’s Perfectly, Terrible Holiday by Kathleen Ayers - I love Kathleen Ayers' writing. This is my 32nd book by her. I read one of her books in 2016 but didn't picked her up again faithfully in 2019 and now she is one of my top favorite authors. For my birthday a few years ago, my DIL bought some of my favorite Kathleen Ayers books and met with her to personally sign them for me. What a fantastic gift and I'll always treasure them. She has such hot and yummy sex in her books. Always a sign of a good book. 😊 I really loved Maria and Balwyn's story. It was so different, so funny, so good. Really good read.
Duke Hard by Sadie Bosque - I started reading Sadie Bosque in June 2021. This is my 21st book by her. I enjoy her writing and her stories and have liked the other books in this series. I really liked this book. I loved the story and the couple. It was a fun read.
Naughty for Sir Nicholas by Charlie Lane - This is only my 10th book by Charlie Lane. I read my first book of hers in Jan, 2021. This was an interesting story.
Miracle in Mayfair by Cecilia Rene - So Cecilia Rene is a fairly new author. This is only my 9th book by her. I started reading her in Sept 2021. From what I've read so far, I have loved her storylines and the characters. Her books have been well written and she put just the right amount of angst, anger, sex and love in all the right places. This was a good read. Interesting spin of It's a Wonderful Life.
Sugar Plums and the Christmas Curmudgeon by Tabetha Waite - This is my 40th book by Tabetha Waite and I started reading her back in June, 2020. I love her writing and have never have a bad read. She will always be special to me as I actually met her and had lunch with her. Once year she took a family vacation and knew it was only an hour or so away from me, so she took time out of her family vacation to meet with me and my husband. So nice! So Tabetha is a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast so no surprise this had that twist. Good read. I enjoyed it.

A brilliant Christmas novella anthology!
Seven stories – all of them classic movie retellings, all of them different and every single one utterly delicious!
I loved the wide variety of tropes, flavour and colour! There’s a little bit of everything and I most definitely could not put it down!
If you consider buying just one book for the season, don’t hesitate, this is it!
Here's an overview and some of my thoughts:
Lady Talbot's Perfectly Terrible Holiday by Kathleen Ayers
What to expect
A winter storm seaside setting, widow x widower, house party fling turned true love, a 15-year age gap, his bitchy daughter and sister, Murphy’s Law, chewy pugs, inedible food, superstition, unwelcome surprise guests, a rash, and a good doctor
Why I loved it
A family gathering from hell! The way all her careful planning and good intentions turn into one big farcical mess is hilarious, and the ending is simply is chef’s kiss!
A Carol of Grace by Diana Bold
What to expect
A Scroogy earl, a wise but wary maid, nightmares, regret, heartbreak, a loving nephew, a sick little girl, frosted windows, a miracle mouse, a trip to the slums, redemption and a gorgeous heartwarming second chance at love
Why I loved it
What’s not to love? It’s a beautiful, heartfelt A Christmas Carol retelling – Dickens vibes and all.
Duke Hard by Sadie Bosque
What to expect
Best friends stuck in a cold arranged marriage for 30 years, a scarred ex-military silver fox duke, a force of nature Scottish duchess, unrequited love, a Christmas house party invaded by murderous villains, secret passageways, passionate rekindling and tender confessions, danger, action and clever war games
Why I loved it
Need I say more? All of the above!
Naughty for Sir Nicholas by Charlie Lane
What to expect
A foundling hospital, a powerless duke’s by-blow taking control, a man looking for purpose, cute kids, red stockings, a glamouring duke, silver toys, potions, special gifts, garden proposals and workbench dares, five Kringle brothers, a donkey and a fox. Third time’s the charm!
Why I loved it
My romantasy unicorn – not my regular hangout, but because it’s signature Charlie Lane sizzle & spark, I happily broaden my horizon!
Home Unchaperoned by Courtney McCaskill
What to expect
The snow-covered Isle of Skye, a Highland hoyden, a scholarly viscount, secret pen pals, history lovers, eggs & bacon, broadswords, viking treasure, naughty books, music & dancing, indoor golf, boobytraps, and a talking raven
Why I loved it
It’s witty, action-packed and utterly endearing! What’s more charming than two nerdy virgins joining their creative forces to fend off evil?
Miracle in Mayfair by Cecilia Rene
What to expect
A London winter wonderland, a dilapidated manor, a guardian angel waiting for her wings, an earl dreading his 35th birthday, spontaneous diving, a family curse, 4 orphaned little girls, snow angels, cake, dolls and impromptu balls
Why I loved it
This story gave me all the feels! Tears, laughter, heartache, joy and hope – it’s pure found family delight!
Sugar Plums and the Christmas Curmudgeon by Tabetha Waite
What to expect
Snowed in, a gentle bred physiotherapist, a scarred war veteran earl, slutty little gasses, billiards, Jekyll & Hyde, library accidents and uncomfortable stiffness
Why I loved it
This one was delectable! The tension, the negotiating, the pushing boundaries, her insightfulness and his inner repressed rake ready to rumble. I loved his dark & twisty with a gooey centre!

What a fun collection of Christmas stories..
I usually find it hard to sit through multiple Christmas stories without having to pause and going to another book and come back.. however this collection of stories was entertaining, enjoyable and fun to the point where I couldn't wait to read the next book in this collection..
I highly recommend this entire collection of Christmas stories!!

Romance rating: 4. Sexy times rating: 2. The first 5 stories are fun retellings of Christmas movies. The 6th one i could tell what movie it was, but it just didn't hold my interest as much. The 7th one, unfortunately, i couldn't tell what movie it was supposed to be, and it just didn't work as a short story. I would have loved to see this as a full-length novel as the characters intrigued me, and the plot was good, but the change just came so suddenly it made very little sense. If it was spread out with more instances to change his position it would have been much better.

How the Belles Stole Christmas
An anthology
I haven’t enjoyed so many Christmas stories in a very long time. It was an enchanting compilation of novellas from a diverse number of popular romance authors. It had romance and love, even some of the villains turned out to be redeemable. But most of all it had magical moments of Christmas spirit. Enjoy it. Happy holidays to you all!!!

This Regency anthology delivers a festive feast of second chances, secret identities, and snowy surprises. Whether you’re craving ghosts of Christmas past or a governess with a spine of steel, these novellas unwrap love in all its messy, magical glory.
✨ Lady Talbot’s Perfectly, Terrible Holiday by Kathleen Ayers ✨ - Maria Talbot is determined to prove she’s viscountess material, armed with holly, ham, and high hopes. But when her picture-perfect holiday implodes in spectacular fashion, it’s her heart (and humor) that might just win the day. A charming chaos of manners, mishaps, and mistletoe.
👻 A Carol of Grace by Diana Bold 👻 - A haunted earl, a heartbroken maid, and a trio of ghosts walk into a Regency Christmas… and what follows is a tender, redemptive twist on Dickens with a romantic core. Grace and Silas’s story is a quiet ache turned hopeful hymn.
🔥 Duke Hard by Sadie Bosque 🎁 - This one simmers. A marriage of convenience turns survival story, then a slow-burn revelation, as a duke and duchess face danger, and their own buried feelings, during a Christmas gone sideways. Emotional, intimate, and unexpectedly fierce.
🎭 Naughty for Sir Nicholas by Charlie Lane 🎭 - Masked mischief, alchemical flirtation, and a governess who sees through more than disguises, this romp is equal parts Robin Hood and Regency rogue. Sir Nicholas is naughty, noble, and entirely swoonworthy.
🏰 Home Unchaperoned by Courtney McCaskill 🏰 - Snowed in, forgotten by her family, and facing down thieves, Catriona’s Christmas is anything but cozy, until a mysterious neighbor with a scandalous past arrives. This one’s got gothic flair, banter, and a heroine who saves herself (and maybe her heart).
🕊 Miracle in Mayfair by Cecilia Rene 🕊 - A grieving earl, a woman out of time, and a love that defies logic, this story is ethereal, aching, and quietly magical. Imogen and Cornelius’s connection, feels like a whispered wish come true.
🎄 Sugar Plums and the Christmas Curmudgeon by Tabetha Waite🎄- Claire’s determined to heal the reclusive Earl of Darville, but it’s his heart, not his body, that needs mending. A cozy, grumpy-sunshine delight with just enough spice to warm your cocoa.

Novella #1 - Lady Talbot’s Perfectly, Terrible Holiday 5/5
Excellent writing! Witty banter, well developed characters, just right amount of angst and steam for a novella.
Novella #2 - A Carol of Grace 3/5
An altogether uninspiring retelling of A Christmas Carol. Yawn.
Novella #3 - Duke Hard - 5/5
I’ve never seen Die Hard, so I missed the title reference and had to look up which Christmas story this novella was based on. Despite this lack of knowledge, this story stood on its own!
Novella #4 - Naughty for Sir Nicholas - 1/5
I really hated this novella
Novella #5 - Home Unchaperoned - 2/5
Virgin heroes just aren’t my jam
Novella #6 - Miracle in Mayfair 1/5
So boring that I DNFd because I just didn’t care/wasn’t engaged
Average 2.83, rounded up to 3
Overall, there were several that were really great, but others that were complete flops

Lady Talbot’s Perfectly Terrible Holiday – Kathleen Ayers
I am sure we have all experienced when one thing goes wrong everything goes wrong. Bless her heart, Maria experienced that in spades. I laughed and thought what else can collapse for this woman. Well, everything. It was funny but I also wanted to hit some over the head for their hijinks. A great take on Christmas Vacation.
Home Unchaperoned – Courtney McCaskill
Historical Home Alone that was too cute. This story was fun. Nerds rule!! I laughed a good bit during the story.

Great read!
This is such a great way to try out new authors. The stories are a variety of different storylines. Get the book and delve into regency stories that all have an HEA.

I love reading these anthologies. You get to read one of your favorite authors and see what you think of some new ones! ( well, new to me anyways). This was a REALLY fun book because you got to guess which Dickens story they were remaking!! Really worth reading, especially at Xmas time!
