BOOK REVIEW: A CHRISTMAS MAGGIE BY TIFFANY REISZ - 5 STARS
If you read Seven Days Loan , you’ll want to read this novella. Daniel is one of the members of the 9th Circle and used to be in love with our beloved Nora Sutherlin, back when she was Eleanor. But not anymore, he is now so in love with his new girlfriend, Anya, one beautiful submissive he met at the club. In fact, Nora was the one who introduced them.
Anyway, in this novella, Daniel and Anya are celebrating their first christmas together, but after a little argument, Anya locks herself in a room, leaving Daniel out, where he has to think about his actions that upset her so much. And the sinner version of the Scrooge’s Christmas Carol begins. Daniel is visited by the ghost of Maggie, and she shows him the past, present and two alternative futures.
I enjoy reading this book. Tiffany’s writing style is fresh and sexy and perfect. I love how she writes the sex scenes, they are always so erotic. I love how she makes me cry, even with a short story like this.
Make yourself a favor, and read A Christmas Maggie , and of course, give it a try to the other novellas in this anthology. I’m sure I will.
Merry Sinners Christmas.
“It’s a Christmas miracle.” Anya pressed into him and sighed.
“I’m not sure if God gives Christmas miracles to sinners like us.” He gently bit the back of her shoulder.

This book contained six very different stories, which made it fun to read. There's something for everyone, but even the stories that weren't usually my preference, were really good. The heat level varied in each story, but it was all appropriate for the story. I especially enjoyed the stories with fantasy and paranormal elements. The final story Stealing Time was so good, I couldn't put it down!
I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a fun read.

Actual Rating: 4.5
**Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for honest review.**
This book was a collection of six stories with varied romantic themes but all centered around the holidays.
Here are my thoughts:
A Christmas Maggie by Tiffany Reisz
Our first story starts off with a bang (in the bedroom). After that, it quickly chills and turns into something reminiscent of the ghosts of past-present-future. While I found the story to be a sweet tale of second chances at love, I was a little irked that it spent so much time talking about past loves instead of focusing on the current one.
Christmassy by Alexa Piper
This is a paranormal romance. Our couple is a bit unorthodox but have pretty good chemistry together. In this story, the supernatural couple find themselves in a battle with an evil creature and they discover their true feelings for one another along the way.
My Midnight Cowboy by Pumpkin Spice
My second favorite! This story took a little time for me to get into but once it took off (airplane pun intended), I was completely hooked. It was incredibly steamy and I blushed, dropped my jaw, and probably even whimpered a few times.
In the Doghouse by Elizabeth Black
I found this one to be okay. I didn't dislike anything about it, but even though it was a really spicy read, it didn't capture my attention as much as some of the others. But that's probably due to the theme. If you've read my past reviews, you already know that I'm not a giant fan of spanking. Just my preference, however. I'm sure others will love this one.
Winter's Daughter by Doug Blakeslee
This story was another paranormal one. Our couple enjoy a steamy romp in the snow and then part ways. Eventually, we learn that our mysterious lady is Fae and wants to make the mortal man into her mate. He just has to decide if leaving his old life behind to be with her is what he wants.
Stealing Time by Wendy Sparrow
Oh, wow. This one was by far my favorite. It was the longest (or seemed to be) and told a story about an immortal who can't bring himself to allow a woman to die, despite it being fate's verdict. Why? Because he feels inexplicably drawn to and captivated by the mortal. After saving her from dying over three dozen times, the two begin to develop a friendship as the woman shows our immortal being just what it means to be human. Absolutely loved it!
In closing...
A little bit of everything and good for a weekend winter read. 4.5 suns!

Six adorable romance stories revolving around Christmas. What more is there to say?
OK, fine, fine.
The spiciest of them was by Pumpkin Spice, which is fitting. (HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE THAT AUTHOR'S NAME?) Sex on an airplane... and in a tram... K, fan me now.
My favorite of the book would have to be Tiffany Reisz's story, since it stars a secondary character, Daniel, we know and love from her infamous Sinners series(es). Man, that woman has a way with writing realistic relationships with heart-wrenching conflicts.
But the rest is super cute, too. They're definitely all stories to keep you warm as you read by a crackling fire with some hot buttered rum and gingerbread cookies.

This review is for A Christmas Maggie by Tiffany Reisz.
2.5 ☆
In my opinion, a novella works if it's either a prelude to more or if it's a little bomb that is condense all the elements I expect in a novel.
A Christmas Maggie was none of this. I recognized Mrs. Reisz's writing, with supernatural elements, but it didn't feel good. It was heartache, tantrums, fights, and eventually, healing, but I would have liked feeling the love and chemistry between the characters, maybe some kink, and there was none. After all was said and done, I was happy to stop here and to move on.

If you are in the mood for something a little spicy to add to your apple ciders and eggnogs this season, then this is the book for you! It has a variety of sweet and super sexy reads, all the way up to a more erotic punch, if that is your cup of tea.
What’s best is that each story is a short little piece, but it still has such a great read packed into it. That means you have the time to read one a night, and just give yourself a little you time. I liked that. I could pick and choose what order I wanted to read the shorts in, and then devour them one by one.
I am a fan of hot reads, up to the spiciest you can get, so I can vouch that these reads will satisfy whatever you are looking for, in your short read. I liked that there was a little bit of everything, as it meant I could read based on my mood, for that day.
I will admit, I had a hard time sticking to only one a day. I just wanted to continue to enjoy the steamy, hot men and the stories they came with.
This is definitely a must have gift to treat yourself, a friend or maybe someone as a way to let them enjoy a little moment of reading. The perfect little gift. I highly recommend this book and every little story inside.

This holiday-themed anthology has something for anyone who enjoys erotic romance. As with any anthology, there may be stories that appeal to any one reader more than another, but the quality of the writing in the various stories was consistently very good to excellent. Tiffany Reisz's A Christmas Maggie, a retelling of THE CHRISTMAS CAROL and companion story to her Original Sinners series, was the highlight in both quality and as an emotion-filled read.
The anthology has contemporary stories, whiff-of-fantasy stories and stories entirely from the fantasy realms. They range in heat from gently steaming to HOT. If you're interested in quick and satisfying reads, The Naughty List has you covered.

The naughty list is a collection of very sexy holiday stories. Some are some are just plain sugar cookie sweet and others are fireplace hot. This book is a great way to start of the holiday season. I really enjoyed all of the stories in the book and cannot really says which one I loved the most. Each had a happy ending which makes them all great. The stories int he book are short and really do not take long to read at all. I love how each author has their own flair for writing. The flair of each author really shines through and makes this book very unique. Each story seems to take on a different aspect of the Christmas season. I loved the take on the Scrooge story, which happens to be my favorite Christmas story of all time.
