Willow started writing after having her little girl, Evie, December 2015. All during her pregnancy with Evie she continued to read and she only wanted to read romance. She was reading a book a day — sometimes two.

In January 2016 Willow was staying up late with Evie and just thinking of all these stories. They came to her constantly so she finally sat down and just started writing. She always wanted to do it so she figured, why not? Today Willow cannot be happier for making that decision!

I thought this would be fantasy, but it was erotic. I'm not the target of this book. But, geez, this was cringe. Cringe and problematic. Tired of men always being more experienced, richer, knowing it all, while the women are innocent and dependent. I had to force myself to finish it.

Synopsis:
Kisses and Wishes is a compilation of three romantic short stories in signature Willow Winters style. Each story is from both his and her point of view, alternately.

Review:
The short stories are as follows:

One Holiday Wish
Carla is all nerves because her since high school days occasional fling Michael Davis will also be there at the Christmas party at her best friend's house. There's always been a distance between them because of the actual distance but now that he's moving back to where Carla stays, she's in a tizzy. They both have a dearest wish, will they get their happy ever after?

It is one of the sweetest and cutest romances I've read in such a short format.

Collared for Christmas
Joshua finds out Alena Morgan again and decides to pursue her. He never forgot their time together. Ah! A dom-sub story, where Alena left him to pursue her dreams. While he is the founder of Club X (you can very well imagine what it's for), she's the chief advisor for a sales company. But now she's back and willing to submit. But who will be her dom?

I love my BDSM stories exactly the way Winters writes it. Mild with a hint of spice and lots of romance. And that title is so apt. Haha!

Stolen Mistletoe Kiss
A story about a Robin Hood thief Vinny and a social worker toiling part-time in the toy store counter Cary Ann. When Vinny decides to rob both Cary's heart and the store, he's surprised that his lady crush also has similar motives.

There are so many Christmassy innuendoes in this one. It even has an epilogue.

Thank you to the author for an e-copy of the book.

I am not a massive fan of Christmas romance reads, but this one was something different for sure and I should have expected it would be. Willow Winters has a way with her words that make her stand out, make her unique and make you fall in love with every word, every character and every book and Kisses and Wishes was no exception. Christmasy romance or not, she put a twist on these three short stories!

All three stories had three unique couples and it gives you a glimpse into how each character found their happy ending around the holiday season and each one of these couples and plot was amazing... Like I said above, I am not the Christmas romance type but with Willow's touch, I couldn't help but fall in love with these.

It's a feel-good, sweet romance laced with sexiness and steam that will have you swooning, your heart fluttering, and leave you smiling hours after finishing the book.

A holiday MUST READ!

6/5 Stars!

Kisses and wishes is a short collection of stories by Willow Winters and just in time for Christmas 🎄 There are three short stories. The first two are essentially second chance romances with a hint of D/s in the second one. By far my favourite was the third story which focuses on Vinny and Cary Ann😍

A must read short collection of stories that will have you longing for a Christmas romance❤️ Thank you to Willow for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review❣️

Three short and steamy reads to warm you up during the winter season. Each read packs a punch even though they are short with plenty of steam. Be warned, do not read near a fireplace as these will warm you right up and leave you smiling after each read.

Absolutely loved this collection of short stories to get you into the holiday spirit. I loved all of the characters in these stories, Michael and Carla, Joshua and Alena and Vinny and Cary Ann. Each story is amazing, I loved them all and you won’t put it down until you are finished. I received a copy of this book.

One Holiday Wish - gives Michael and Carla the chance to figure out what they both want and if they are more than a hook-up. They are steamy, hot and will have you panting.

Collared for Christmas - Joshua and Alena broke apart years ago, young and naive, Alena wasn’t sure if she could be what Joshua wanted her to be and when the chance arises and puts these two back together, can she move past her fears and grab the love she’s always wanted with Joshua?

Stolen Mistletoe Kisses - Vinny and Cary Ann are amazing. Each crushing on the other and very unaware of their feelings for each other. Both have plans for the business she works for, her boss is a grinch and took something that he promised to someone else. All these two want to do is make it right, but they each have their own plan to do it, and a little nookie on the side never hurts.

A compilation of Christmas themed short stories and a quick fix of holiday cheer from Willow Winters was just too enticing to pass up. I dove in and quickly devoured them all.

Holiday Wish
This is a very quick read and the characters waste no time getting their party for two started. Carla and Michael have been long-distance, on-again-off-again for years, but now that Michael is coming home, things don't stay undecided and unknown for long. Their secret affair adds some spice to the story and all is revealed in short order. Holiday Wish was a fun, feel-good story with some signature Willow steam.

Collared for Christmas
Willow delivers the desire and steam as Joshua and Alena reunite after ten years. He's become a confide Dom who is ready to show Alena the path to her submissive side.

Collared for Christmas is a seductive second-chance BDSM story and I enjoyed the quick pace and commanding personality of Joshua.

Stolen Mistletoe Kisses
Mistletoe, Christmas, and kisses go together like toys and children. I loved the theme of Stolen Mistletoe Kisses. Willow brought out the spirit of Christmas giving with romance in the crisp winter air. Vinny and Cary Ann share more than a desire to do what's right for the local orphanage, they also share a desire for each other and kisses under the mistletoe. Stolen Mistletoe Kisses is a feel-good story with a happy ending, in more ways than one!

This is a holiday collection with three different stories. Willow weaves some short stories that will put you in the holiday spirit. These stories make you want to cuddle up in a blanket and read.
In One Holiday Wish, we’re at a Christmas party. Micheal and Carla both have wishes. Will they come true? In Collared for Christmas, we are back at Club X. This is one of my favorite clubs. Joshua wants a second chance with Alena. In Stolen Mistletoe Kisses, we have Vinny and Cary Ann. These two knew each other when they were younger. Will they get to have a kiss under the mistletoe?
These may be short stories, but they pull you in and give you warm and fuzzy feelings.

“My Cherry”

Reading Thoughts
📕These stories were the perfect little Christmas reads for this time of year.
📕Loved the way they each story was very different from each other
📕If I had to pick my favorite story out of the 3 of them it would be the third one with Vinny and CaryAnn

Words that linger
📕I missed all of this when I left for college.
But most of all, I missed her. My Carla.
📕From the moment she’s decided to walk to the bench and give this a real try, she gave herself completely.
📕”You’re my holiday wish.” He stares into my eyes. “I just want you and this can be whatever you want it to be, if you want me too.”

A great holiday collection of short stories that has something for everyone! One Holiday Wish is a cute steamy second chance romance that takes place at a holiday party, steamy and sweet!
Collared for Christmas is holidays BDSM style! This is another second chance romance with Alena and Joshua meeting up again after 10 years apart, and both showing their cards.
Stolen Mistletoe Kisses, is a story about Vinny and Cary Ann who knew each other years before and were attracted to each other, but never really had a formal relationship. They are both looking to do something outside of the law, but it was with good intentions.
Loved this festive collection!

If you’re looking to be put in the holiday mood, this book of short stories will definitely get you there.

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, Willow has a tale for you. I for one like being on the naughtier side of things and thoroughly enjoyed Collared For Christmas.

There’s nothing I love more than a Christmas story. Willow gives us THREE different Christmas novellas wrapped up in one package; One Holiday Wish, Collared for Christmas, and Stolen Mistletoe Kisses.

All three of these stories have their naughty and nice moments.. some more than others. But all three stories are unique and put you right in the Christmas spirit.

I love Willows writing and she really made me shout with glee after reading this holiday collection. Willow is the gift that keeps on giving.

Quick read of 3 different Christmas love stories. My favorite was the first one, One Holiday Wish. I wish we had more of this story but it was easy to determine where this storyline was heading. If you want quick, holiday stories, pick this book up.
