This contains two short stories.

A Wintertime Affair by A. Raynes is a story told completely from the male POV which is nice-to start with. The beginning had potential, then the morning after happened. Tristan lost his "man card" everything progressed way too fast, and I got bored half way through. I struggled to finish it.

Under the Mistletoe by M. Escamilla is a too perfect story that had no peak moment. There were a lot of editing errors with time frames and saying one thing on one page and something else on another.

[Timothy Hendricks · Rating 2 out of 5]

I hated the book. Way to much profanity and sexist language. Some may talk like this; but not everyone does. You know its ok to be nice person. It seems as soon as Tristan feels that someone thinks he's a nice guy or he feels he is being too nice then it seems he has to prove to himself and to others that he is not.

I will think twice about reading this author's books.

Wintertime Love by Alyson Raynes

I received this book for an honest review

I am a fan of The Fixer series so when I saw Alyson was putting out a short novella about my favorite character Tristan, I was on board. What I loved about Tristan is he is such naughty boy. I mean he is a player to the 100th degree but this novella gives us a peek at the man before his player player reputation is in full swing.

We see him meet his best friend, Dylan’s girlfriend’s best friend. Now this is when the guys are in college so it’s WAY before Dylan and Brooke. We get to see a glimpse of the sweet guy that Brooke loves while also seeing him start his womanizing ways. But Tristan is what gets my heart. I see the man he is and since I have read about him in the series, I KNOW the man is he now so seeing this sweet guy wine and dine a girl he is interested in..sigh….it’s a Christmas Miracle!!

this is the first book by this author that ive read and it definitely wont be the last. This book has two short stories in it, each are fantastic in the re own right. Both stories have amazing characters and keep you reading till the very end. A sexy hot steamy read, which is perfect for these long winter nights. These are cute little love stories to make you feel fuzzy inside. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended

Should have paid closer attention to the 18+ warning. Too crude for my taste.
