Regifted: Winter Blom / Chance for Christmas / Yours For The Holiday.
This box set includes three previously published holiday romances by DJ Jamison: Winter Blom, Chance for Christmas, and Yours For The Holiday.
Winter Blom: Lane Cross works construction to pay the bills, and makes metal art to … also pay the bills. As a single dad, the enjoyment of his art has taken a backseat to making ends meet. And his love life has taken a back seat to caring for his son, especially when Zach, age 6, sabotages every babysitting attempt Lane makes. Then Lane meets news intern Andy Blom. The man’s Swedish name meaning bloom is perfect for him: Andy is refreshingly sweet and vibrant. But when Lane moves too fast, will he scare away the surprisingly innocent young man – or will Andy’s journalistic ethics end them before they ever begin?
Chance for Christmas: Chance Rasmussen returns to Ashe, Kansas, eight years after his high school crush humiliated him with a sext that went viral. He's low on holiday spirit with his personal ghost of Christmas past haunting him, but when his BFF asks him to attend a party as her fake date, he reluctantly agrees. The last person he expects to see there is Joe Stewart, the compassionate prosecutor he hero-worshipped during the lowest point of his life. The spark of attraction is still there, but Chance isn't planning to stay in Ashe past the holidays and the specter of his past still looms large between them. Can they find a way to build a future together or will Joe only have Chance for Christmas?
Yours For The Holiday: Remy Wells is in no mood to share a room with his brother's best friend during a holiday stay. Jason Hendricks has always treated him like a little brother to tease and taunt, all the more embarrassing because Remy has secretly crushed on the jerk since puberty. But when Jason confides he's bisexual, Remy realizes the crush he loves to hate could be the perfect rebound.
Two of the books in this set are from the Ashe Sentinel Connections universe, but each romance introduces new characters and can be read on its own.

3.5 Stars. A really nice collection of Christmas romances with engaging stories that wind around each other.

Great stories at a great value for the boxed set.
I previously purchased all of the books in this collection and I've read and reviewed two of them. Below of my reviews for Chance for Christmas and Yours for the Holiday.
Chance for Christmas: A wonderful Christmas story!
This story was full of feeling and I loved reading about Chance and Joe. These two met under difficult circumstances 8 years ago when Chance was 18. Joe felt an attraction to Chance but it was totally in appropriate at the time and he pushed his feelings down deep. Now they’ve met again and he’s still attracted to the Chance that is all grown up.
Chance doesn’t want to be back in Ashe. When he left 8 years ago he’d been humiliated and couldn’t bear the thought of everyone talking about him. When he gets a call that his father is ill he knows that he has to finally return.
I loved the chemistry between Chance and Joe. Both of them are fairly confident men – until it comes to personal connections. Joe wants Chance but is afraid to tell him because he doesn’t want Chance to stay in Ashe just for him.
While this book had lots of feels to it there were also some lighter moments.
All in all this was a wonderful Christmas novella with interesting and well-developed characters.

Yours for the Holiday: Two of my favorite romance tropes.
Enemies to lovers has recently become a favorite romance trope for me. Add in best friend's little brother and this book doubled my pleasure.
I've been fan of DJ Jamison's books since the first one I read, Catching Jaime. It's hard to believe it was only a year and a half ago that I read that book. I've read every book she published after that and loved them. (I do still need to catch up on her earlier books.) Yours for the Holiday is a great new story.
Jason Hendricks had a pretty crappy childhood and his best friend's family took him in. He's always felt at home with Derek Wells and his family, spending many holiday and family gatherings with them. This year he is surprised to learn that he will be bunking with Derek's little brother, Remy. Only Remy isn't so little any more.
Jason and Remy had an adversarial relationship growing up. Jason and Derek teased Remy unmercifully, something that Jason now regrets. Now that Jason has come to terms with his bisexuality, he realizes that teasing Remy was his way of not having to deal with the attraction he felt for him but didn't fully understand.
Yours for the Holiday has just the right amount of angst. Remy is coming off of a bad breakup and Jason agrees to have a holiday fling with him but soon realizes he doesn't want to just be Remy's rebound fling. Convincing Remy that what they have is more than that isn't easy. There's also the complication of keeping their relationship from Derek and the rest of the Wells family. Jason is a firefighter and he's not sure he's really ready to come out as bisexual to everyone at the fire station. Remy is an out gay man and he doesn't like being Jason's secret lover.
There's a lot going on in this book and it's a very satisfying, and sometimes complicated one. Derek has relationship problems, Jason still has problems with his family and Remy has to come to terms with his feelings for Jason. All of these things combine in a great story that isn't a holiday fluff piece but definitely has an HEA for everyone. And, when Jason and Remy stop fighting and get together the sexy time is HOT!
DJ Jamison also writes some of the best epilogues I've ever read and the one for this story is perfect.

Definitely worth it.
Winter Blom: the story of Andy, a young adult in his first (unpaid) internship falling for a widowed man with a son. A bit fast for me in the falling for each other part, but overall really cute.
Chance for Christmas: super adorable. I loved the way Chance's trauma was dealt with, and Joe's character is really nice, and quite different than what I'm used to see by DJ Jamison. Really liked it.
Yours for the Holiday: my absolute favorite of the three. The way Remy and Jason slowly learn to trust each other in a way that goes beyond the relationship of frenimity they'd kept so far is so sweet, and the general hardships they go through are so relatable it makes the story all the more endearing. Totally loved it

Wow
Three wonderful heartwarming stories of love. The first two books I didn’t know and they were great. The third book I’ve read some time ago and it was fun rereading it. I loved all the characters and happy endings

Two of these stories are in the Ashe Sentinel series while the other is a Christmas stand alone. Well written with charming characters and a look at small life.
