This was a short novella that is part of the Tis The Season For Romance anthology.
If you love the Until series I’m sure you will absolutely love this little novella. It seems like all the family was mentioned and kids and grandkids are extremely abundant in every chapter.
Unfortunately, I didn’t read the Until series. So for me, it was a ton of characters I couldn’t keep track of and wasn’t invested in. They seem like a cool family though.

THE DETOUR by K. Bromberg
Release Date: January 1, 2021
ABOUT THE BOOK: Bestselling author, Harley Humbug, needs an escape.
From the current state of her own love life.
From her deadline she blew past weeks ago.
From Christmas that’s just around the corner and the bad luck it usually brings with it.
When a snowstorm causes a road closure, she chalks it up to one more thing to go wrong.
Little does she know the detour will take her to a town she never knew existed, and right into the path—and possible arms—of a man who might just be her real-life muse.
______
REVIEW: THE DETOUR by K. Bromberg is a contemporary, adult Christmas short focusing on romance writer Harley Humbug, Mayor / bar owner Saint Nick and a snowstorm that strands our heroine in Saint Nick’s Hollow.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Saint and Harley) THE DETOUR follows the quick building relationship and one-night stand between romance writer Harley Humbug, and Mayor / bar owner Saint Nick. Harley Humbug has lost her muse; she is struggling to write, and the holidays are something of which she is not looking forward. Stranded in St. Nick’s Hollow, a virtual Christmas village Harley will get the inspiration she needs from the man that stirs something she hasn’t felt in a very long time-magic.
THE DETOUR is a character driven, short story with a sexy hero and a lost heroine who will find her muse in the unlikeliest of places. The story ends abruptly, I am hoping for more.

SHIELDING JAYME by Susan Stoker
Available : January 5, 2021
ABOUT THE BOOK: After a decade of hard work and dedication, Jayme Caldwell’s dreams of a Seattle bakery are whisked out from under her. She’s licking her wounds in Killeen, Texas, living with her memaw, Winnie, while contemplating her future. Of course, Memaw knows exactly the kind of future her granddaughter needs…and it starts with a handsome young man she tricks into having dinner with Jayme. She’d be upset…if the man wasn’t something straight out of any red-blooded woman’s fantasies.
Rocket Long never suspected the sweet little old lady he’d befriended at the grocery store would turn out to be a conniving matchmaker, cleverly setting him up with her beloved granddaughter. But once he lays eyes on Jayme, Rocket can’t be too upset. Especially when, at forty, he’d already given up on finding “the one.” Suddenly, the love and family he’d all but given up on could be his for the taking.
But life is precious. And short. And happiness can be snatched away in the space of a breath. All things Rocket may discover the hard way…before he even gets his ring on Jayme’s finger.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
As the resident psychiatrist at Jameson Force Security, I make it my business to know all about our team—the good, the bad, and everything in between. But for every secret of theirs I hold close, I have secrets of my own I hold closer. I’m not trying to hide my history, but…it’s complicated. And that’s putting it mildly. It’s easier to keep my past firmly in the past, until the day a familiar face walks through my office door.
Clay Brandeis is the only one who knows my whole story. Through the darkest period of my life, he was by my side. A friend and confidant. I once thought he was something more, but he walked away and left me wondering how I got it so wrong.
After all these years, one look at him and I know I wasn’t wrong at all. His handsome face, his strong and steady demeanor, despite the icy glare he’s throwing my way. My heart wasn’t wrong about Clay Brandeis, and this Christmas, I’m determined to make sure he knows it too.
______
REVIEW: CODE NAME GRACE is the latest novella in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult JAMIESON FORCE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. This is twenty-nine year old, psychiatrist Dr. Corinne Ellery, and thirty-seven year old, FBI Agent Clay Brandeis’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Clay and Corinne) CODE NAME: GRACE follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between our leading couple. Nine years earlier, Agent Clay Brandeis was the leading investigator on the Salt Slasher serial killer case, and Corinne’s parents were the killer’s final victims. Believing his inaction caused the death of Corinne’s parents, Clay ran from the woman who had stolen his heart. Fast forward to present day wherein a Christmas Eve snowstorm has ‘trapped’ our hero with the woman he failed.

REVIEW: BOYFRIEND is a contemporary, new adult, hockey romance short found in Sarina Bowen’s world of the TRUE NORTH series,and the upcoming multi-authored Moo U anthology. This is waitress Abbi, and Vermont college hockey player Weston Griggs.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Abbi and Weston) BOYFRIEND focuses on the fake relationship between college junior/ waitress Abbi, and Vermont college hockey player Weston Griggs.With the approach of the Thanksgiving holiday, Canadian Weston Griggs, choosing t remain in Vermont, hires himself out as a temporary boyfriend, something our heroine needs in the face of returning home for the holidays, a home where she no longer feels comfortable or welcome. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Abbi and Weston, as Weston must run inference on more than one occasion.
BOYFRIEND is a story of family, friendship, betrayal and lust. The premise is engaging; the romance is sweet; the characters are colorful and fun but the story line ends rather abruptly. I am going to presume the author has plans for their continuing story.

I wish it was longer! It was so so fun to see them all again! I love every couple but my favorites will always be Nico and Sophie.

This is a novella in the Tis the Season for Romance holiday anthology. If you have not read Ms Reynolds books about the people in this novella, you will be lost, as I was. This is an update to former characters. It created interest for me to seek out these characters in their respective books, but I had no idea who these people were. Each chapter was devoted to a particular couple.

Was für eine schöne kleine Weihnachtsgeschichte für Fans der Mayson Familie! ♥️
Wirklich jedes Familienmitglied hat hier seinen Part bekommen und so sind sowohl die Jungs aus der ,Until Love‘-Reihe mit ihren Frauen wie auch die Charaktere aus der ‚Until You‘-Reihe mit Partnern vertreten.
(Man sollte deshalb die Reihen schon vorher kennen, sonst versteht man hier nicht wirklich was.)

This novella was featured in the 2020 'Tis the Season for Romance collection. It features all of the original and second gen Mayson clan couples. With single POV from one person in each duo, this was a great way to catch up with my favorite characters, even without steamy scenes.

Code Name: Grace
5 Hearts
🎄Code Name: Grace
Code Name: Grace is a novella in the Jameson Force Security series by Sawyer Bennett. You can read each book as standalone but I recommend reading them all since they are badass and unique. At the end of Code Name: Rook we met Clay, an FBI agent who hasn’t seen Jameson’s resident psychiatrist in nine years. And now that Corinne saw him she isn’t going to just let him walk away again. They had a bond and she knows he felt it too so she makes a plan. To get him to talk. To listen. No better time than the holidays, right? Will he put up a fight or give in? I am so happy they got a story even if it’s a short one.
🎄HONOR by Kristen Proby
5 Hearts
Honor is the first book in the Heroes of Big Sky by Kristen Proby. It’s also part of the Big Sky series. I have read a few but not all of the Big Sky series so it was fun to go back to Cunningham Falls. Nick was injured while protecting Princess Nina and now he has to rehab away from duty. At least it’s in a beautiful lake house in Montana but what he isn’t happy about is having a babysitter disguised as a nurse. Jordan just moved back home from Arizona and a family member has hooked her up with a live-in nursing job. What she didn’t expect was him. A sexy and grumpy hottie who isn’t a fan of Christmas. Will she get him to love Christmas? Will he let her nurse him to good health? These two are so fun, sexy, and sweet.

All these romance stories are excellent! Cannot pinpoint which story is the best. They all are so good. From a second chance meeting, to a fake boyfriend, to a Magic town, to an old friend, to a wedding stranger, to a bodyguard crush, to a babysitter, to a big family Christmas and to a meddling grandmother, they all found love in some strange conditions and adventures to the delight of readers. Cannot say enough how great they are. So enjoy.

The Right One: This did not feel like a Natasha story. First, was Leah married to Alan or was he a boyfriend, both were said. Needed a good editor or formatter.
Honor: The fabulous start of the Royal Edition.
A Mayson Christmas: I love that so many couples had a little snippet of extra love.
Shielding Jayme: Wonderful story of love and acceptance. Love doesn’t always happen in your twenties, the best come to those who wait. They appreciate it more.

🎄 Fall in Love This Holiday Season-
One Story at a Time! ❤️
📖 I chose 'Tis the Season for Romance: A Romance Anthology because it's a festive collection of heartwarming and passionate holiday love stories crafted by bestselling romance authors. This anthology gathers together multiple beloved voices in contemporary and romantic suspense fiction, offering readers a seasonal treat packed with swoon-worthy heroes, strong heroines, and holiday magic.
Unlike long-running sagas like J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood or her interconnected Fallen Angels universe (Covet, Crave, Envy and beyond), this book is not part of a continuous series but instead a stand-alone holiday anthology. However, many of the authors included-such as Kristen Proby, Sawyer Bennett, Sarina Bowen, Devney Perry, Natasha Madison, and Susan Stoker-each have extensive romance series and spin-off books that fans may want to explore after finishing their contributions here.
The collection falls firmly in the romance/contemporary romance genre, and it's recommended for an adult audience (18+) due to mature themes, passionate love scenes, and adult-level relationship content. Readers will likely find it a cozy, sweet, and occasionally steamy holiday escape-perfect for curling up with during the festive season. Fans of anthologies, quick reads, and multi-author collaborations will particularly enjoy the variety of tones and tropes included.
