This amazing Anthology, a 8 book box set has wonderful, unique and well written stories by a great group of great authors. They have crafted intriguing worlds with unique characters who have engaging histories, unique and engaging personalities and believable interactions. The authors and stories in this Anthology are: A Furry Little Christmas - C.D. Gorri Unwrapping Her Dragon - Julia Mills Her Cowboy Warrior – Liv Brywood Tis the Season for Sass – Melanie James A Fated Mate for Christmas – Selena Blake The Honeybear’s Xmas Curse – Jacqueline Sweet Her Cowboy's Christmas Surprise – J. K. Harper Gracie’s Gift – V. Vaughn I am writing a review especially for A Furry Little Christmas by C.D. Gorri, this is book set in the Maccon City Pack Area and is a Second Chance at Love. I liked how she was fighting the mating bond thinking she was too old for him and too old to find her fated mate. I loved how he proved her wrong and how his daughter got her wish to have a large family for Christmas. The steps that they took and how they found each other is very touching. I Loved this book.
The reason for the season Holiday season or not, this group of fantastic Christmas stories will get you in the mood for a visit from Santa. Especially if he’s anything like the Santa in this first book!
A Furry Little Christmas by C,D, Gorri An unexpected gift When the big guy is a sweet, kind, muscular, ginger giant, who can resist the chance to find love again and sit on Santa’s knee? Not this stacked, pinup model worthy wolf that’s for sure! I love how the author finally gave Stephanie her story! Both of these characters were looking for a change, not knowing that fate had so much more in store for them. This book is all about new beginnings and second chances, and it hit all the feel good emotional points that I love in a fantastic holiday romance. I especially enjoyed the little glimpses into the “man cave”. The conversations were hilarious and added just the right something extra to the story. If you aren’t yet feeling festive, I recommend this book to get you in the mood. 5 stars
Tis the Season for Sass by Melanie James Blown in with the wind I love the Black Paw Pack! The author does an amazing job of mixing the old legends with the new age that I can’t help but be drawn into the story. I love these two characters, they both are dealing with old pain and yet they manage to find their connection. With a little help from the Gods, that is. The way they care for the people strengthens the spirit of the holidays, and it made for the perfect Christmas read. 5 stars
A Fated Mate for Christmas by Selena Blake Change is in the air Such a fantastic story! I love how this female gathers her courage to change the course of her life, and how amazing that the alpha is willing to listen. Of course, he has is own reasons to want change. These two make a dynamic couple and I can only see them getting better with time. The author took us back to Mystic Isle and I enjoyed getting to see more of my favorite characters. She kept the story moving with action and danger, and that sweet layer of romance just in time for the holidays. This was the best holiday read, perfect for curling up by the fire with a hot cup of tea. 5 stars
This is an OK set of shifter romance novellas, some better than others. Since they were short novellas, they all suffered from a lack of character development. I believe that all of them were short novellas that were part of a series, which made them difficult to read. It didn't seem like any of them were the first book in a series, so they had characters that I felt like I should already know -- but I didn't, since I hadn't read the other books in those series. My rating for the set is 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3 stars.
Gracie's Gift, by V. Vaughn, 3 stars -- This is an OK romance, with likable characters, but it ended too abruptly. Gracie and Jack got together, and it was over. I wanted to read about her becoming a shifter. I also really wanted an epilogue, to see how they were doing a few months or even years down the road.
A Furry Little Christmas, by C. D. Gorri, 3.5 stars -- This was a cute age-gap romance (older woman/younger man). It was one of the only novellas in this set that really didn't have a lot of characters from other books -- at least, not so many that it was hard to follow. I liked, too, that the age gap was that the woman was older, not the man.
Unwrapping Her Dragon, by Julia Mills, 3 stars -- This novella was cute, but it would have been very difficult for readers who had not read Julia's Dragon Guard series to understand. There are a lot of characters, and references to characters from other Dragon Guard books. It really bothered me, too, that the dragons of fate were separated from their fated mates by God. That didn't seem like something a loving God would do.
Her Cowboy Warrior, by Liv Brywood, 3.5 stars -- This was one of my favorites in the series. Gage left Raven years before, because he didn't trust his shifter side. He thought he was a monster, and didn't think he could control his bear. He believed Raven would be better off without him, even though they were deeply in love. This was their second-chance romance, where he ends up being her hero, and they do get back together.
Tis the Season for Sass, by Melanie James, 2.5 stars -- This story really suffered from being pulled out of a series that I had not read. There were a lot of characters that I felt I should already know, and I also felt I was missing a great deal of information about the Black Paw pack.
A Fated Mate for Christmas, by Selena Blake, 2.5 stars -- This novella also suffered greatly from being pulled from a series that I had not read. I felt that I was missing a lot of information on the Ravenwood pack, and the other characters. I also thought that the resolution in the end was a little too easy, considering all the terrible things that Gabrielle's father had done.
Her Cowboy's Christmas Surprise, by J. K. Harper, 1 star -- This story was incredibly poorly written. It had editing issues in practically every sentence, so many that the story was difficult to read. (Examples: misused words like to/too, changing from past to present tense in the middle of a sentence, run-on sentences, and lots of incorrect grammar). It was also very repetitive, in that a character's thoughts were often repeated 2 or 3 times in just a couple of pages, then sometimes again just a few paragraphs later. This author desperately needs a good editor, and also needs to learn grammar rules. The errors were so frequent, and so bad, that it made the story hard to follow -- and almost impossible to enjoy.
The Honeybear's Xmas Curse, by Jacqueline Sweet, 3.5 stars -- This was a surprisingly sweet shifter romance. There were a few characters that had been introduced in other books in the series, but this novella was still fairly easy to follow. I did wish that it had given more backstory on both Theresa and Gauge, but that was a minor issue.
My rating system is below. 1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it. 2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws. 3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating. 4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one. 5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
Book: Mistletoe and Mates: Shifters in Love Holiday Anthology My Rating: 5 Stars Reviewed by: Tammy - Book Nook Nuts
REVIEW I have read 3 stories so far in this wickedly good anthology and am leaving a review for them.
A Furry Little Christmas - C.D. Gorri This was a sexy wolf shifter story that involves an older female and younger male but whose counting? Well, Stephanie thought she was until...
Unwrapping Her Dragon - Julia Mills Everleigh knows he is hers but he just up and left her? And now Deacon wants back and wants her as his? Well, this dragon has his work cut out for him.
Tis the Season for Sass – Melanie James I love the Black Paw wolves and this story was a great reminder of why. We have action galore and a whole lot of holiday majick.
CD Gorri A Furry little Christmas: This was a quick fun read. Stephanie is a widow who reopened her family farm, and Nicholas is a single father looking for a fresh start. Loved this story. I was given an advanced reader copy and I voluntarily leave this review.
Furry Little Christmas by C.D. Gorri This was such a sweet read for the holiday season. It also had a bit of heat for some of us in the cooler climates. Stephanie has always been a character I would remember. I'm so glad she found her HEA with Nick. For a short read, it was filled with so much love. As all tales that come from the Macconwood, the love comes from family, friends, mates and Pack. I received an early copy and this is my honest opinion.
Mistletoe and Mates: Shifters in Love Holiday Anthology Various artists This Anthology has awesome stories by great authors! I am reviewing A Furry Little Christmas By C.D. Gorri Stephanie has reopened her family farm for Christmas trees. Nicholas is currently playing Santa at the Christmas tree farm. What happens when two wolves find each other at Christmas time?
A Furry Little Christmas by CD Gorri has Stephanie and Nicholas finding each other. But can they get past some major differences with one another? A lovely story.
Most of the stories in this anthology are two- or three-star stories. I usually take anthologies as a sample of the authors' writing; it's how I discover authors that are new to me. I discovered Larissa Ione's Demonica series and Lora Leigh's Breeds series through anthologies. I know you can't expect as much development in a shorter story as there would be in a full-length novel, but Lora Leigh is able to infuse strong emotions into her short stories and that's a sign of skillful writing.
The only author I was familiar with in this anthology is Selena Blake. Based on the stories from the other authors, I don't think I'll be picking up any of their other books anytime soon.
1. Gracie's Gift - V. Vaughn - 2 stars
I don't like stories where the whole thing rests upon a secret that one of the characters needs to tell the other. The character keeps putting it off, and you wanna yell, "TELL THEM ALREADY!" because they always wait too long, then the other person finds out in the worst possible manner, and it messes things up. Also, Jack wasn't at all like the usual confident, take-charge kind of male shifter. He seemed to lack confidence, and instead of being straightforward with Gracie, he beat around the bush. Plus, how did his clan leaders know that Gracie was his true mate when they arranged for him to meet her through this job? This story really seemed like a story with human characters, and then the author just decided to change the guy into a shifter. Jack didn't exhibit any shifter characteristics at all.
2. A Furry Little Christmas - C.D. Gorri - 2 stars
This is a reverse age gap story, with Stephanie almost fifty years old and Nick about 15 years younger than her. Then again, they're both wolf shifters so they have long lives and Stephanie doesn't look her age. I thought it strange that at the age of 50, Stephanie still hadn't gotten over her prejudices and bitterness toward male wolves just because a teen wolf broke her heart in high school. She thinks they're all dogs and just want one thing only. Seems like if you'd lived that long and had a good, loving marriage, you'd have put all that behind you by now. She struck me as immature. I also wasn't sure why Nick would recognise her as his fated mate, but she didn't seem to realise that he was hers.
3. Unwrapping Her Dragon - Julia Mills - 2 stars
I DNF this story because they have been separated for 16 years -- SIXTEEN! Deacon proposed to Everleigh, then disappeared the next day. Turns out he had been whisked away by Fate (yes, who is a woman) to do some super-important mission that apparently took 16 years and during all those 16 years he wasn't allowed to contact Ever? But the way he first approaches her when he comes back, it's like he thinks it was all a lark and doesn't seem to care how his disappearance might have hurt her. Fate is also very cavalier about how her actions had affected the two of them. Also, it's common in shifter books for the shifters to speak with their animals, but Ever's bear is named Sheila and has a whole different personality? It just felt schizophrenic to me.
4. Her Cowboy Warrior - Liv Brywood - 2 stars
This story was another one of those "kept a secret too long" stories. Gage was even less of an alpha than Jack was in Gracie's Gift above. He RAN AWAY from his best friend and the woman he loved the day after he made love to her for the first time. And stayed away for TEN YEARS! It's never very clear why he thinks of himself as a monster. He doesn't seem isolated from the shifter community, and his own parents must have been shifters. So it's weird that he hasn't accepted his identity -- especially after having had 10 years to grow up, before he finally meets Raven again. I really felt like he had zero self-confidence and was a coward, and not only that, was selfish because he never thought about how she'd feel. All he could focus on was his own fear. Useless "hero". Hrrrmph.
Tis the Season for Sass - Melanie James - 3 stars
The prologue opens with this heavy, portentous vision received by the Black Paw pack matriarch. She talks about how Black Paw is going to receive an honour and a blessing from the gods and how the pack is going to be judged to see if they're deemed worthy. But the actual story didn't have such weight. It wasn't clear that the gods had judged Ginger or how she had been deemed worthy to receive her "reward". Her "reward" also only seemed to affect her personally, and not Black Paw as a pack. No explanation was given for the majik which had been covering her and no one seemed interested in finding out where it had come from or who had placed it on her. I didn't like that Chance lied to her about his dreams; that didn't seem like a good foundation for friendship, let alone a mating. The story felt unfinished, since the loose ends surrounding Ginger's past were never tied up. That was annoying.
A Fated Mate for Christmas - Selena Blake 3 stars
Gabrielle is mistreated by her father and she knows he's not a good alpha. Knowing her father wouldn't make the first move to seek peace, she goes to Garrett, alpha of the Ravenbrook Pack, to ask Garrett to call for a truce. I liked that Garrett kept an open mind even though he was suspicious of her initially, and when he finds out about Gabrielle's mistreatment he immediately becomes protective and whisks her to safety. But I thought Gabrielle didn't act like someone who had been abused for years and she also had too much freedom. I mean, her father sounds like a controlling assh*le so I didn't think she would so easily have been able to go to Garrett's pack house to speak with Garrett. Moreover, she never argues with Garrett when he buys her beautiful dresses and expensive shoes or when his personal shopper whisks her off to Paris for a shopping trip on a whim. It didn't sit well with me and seemed out of character.
Her Cowboy's Christmas Surprise - J.K. Harper 2 stars
Yet another "kept a secret too long" story. Three in one anthology is one too many, if you ask me. This story was implausible and made no sense. No reason for Callie to be so afraid to tell Garett her secret. And Garett again was a wimp like Gage in Her Cowboy Warrior above. He knew something was wrong but was too afraid to ask Callie what it was. He was afraid she'd say she wanted to leave him. Totally not the usual strong, capable male shifter that I've come to expect from this genre. The two of them danced around the issue for so long that the story became tedious. The reveal was an anticlimax and I was puzzled because usually shifters, with their enhanced sense of smell, would be able to detect the change in the person's scent. Anyway, it was a silly thing to be worried about, particularly since the bond between shifter and mate is much stronger than usual human couples due to the magical or metaphysical connection between them. I didn't buy that all the angst was caused just by that one silly little secret.
The Honeybear's Xmas Curse - Jacqueline Sweet - 2 stars
This is a story where everything occurs in a single day and by the end of the day, there's talk of marriage! Way too fast, and Theresa's problem seemed to be solved too easily for something so powerful which had plagued her for three years. Plus, usually magic is innate but in this case the magic is powered by an outside source? I needed more explanation for this and more world-building. The shifter lore is also different because this is the first time I've ever heard that a shifter could separate from his animal and send his animal into someone else's body. Stretched the imagination too much and again, needed much more explanation.
Sweet, fun holiday romances with some shifter goodness! Plenty of Christmas spirit! 8 different stories by 8 different authors. Entertaining stories! Enjoyed all of them!
Gracie’s Gift - V. Vaughn Human Gracie is attracted to were-bear Jack and he knows she’s his mate, but Gracie isn’t in the know about the paranormal world, so things are a bit dicey. Love the connection between Gracie and Jack!
A Furry Little Christmas - C.D. Gorri Wolf shifter Stephanie finds herself with a whole lot of responsibility while running a Christmas tree farm, but luckily fellow wolf Nicholas comes to help out. Likable characters; not huge on the whole single parents scenario, but I liked Stephanie and Nicholas together. Also, I liked how wolfy they are.
Unwrapping Her Dragon - Julia Mills Cute second chance romance for bear shifter Ever and dragon shifter Deacon! 16 years is a long time to be separated, but Ever and Deacon are sweeties. Quirky, fun read!
Her Cowboy Warrior - Liv Brywood Second chance between best friends bear shifter Gage and Raven; 10 years these two haven’t seen each other. Liked the suspense of Raven’s not so great ex causing problems, and Gage’s protectiveness. Good chemistry!
Tis the Season for Sass - Melanie James Wolf shifter Ginger isn’t having the best Christmas, but when she goes to visit a friend, she’s finding something good in wolf shifter, Chance. Interesting backstory to this story; liked the mystery and how that all developed. Steamy passion between these two!
A Fated Mate for Christmas - Selena Blake Enemies to lovers scenario going on for Gabrielle and Garrett; the packs for these two aren’t exactly friendly, but Gabrielle is going to try to smooth things over. I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers, so I loved that. Great connection between Gabrielle and Garrett too! Lots of passion! Interesting family drama too.
Her Cowboy’s Christmas Surprise - J.K. Harper This one is a reigniting of passion for Garrett and Callie, who have been together for years, but need a little more oomph to their relationship. The writing style felt a bit odd to me, but the story is still a sweet one.
The Honeybear’s Xmas Curse - Jacqueline Sweet Theresa believes she’s been cursed, so she’s having a rough go of things, but when she meets Gauge, he may be more help than she originally thought. Another sweet one with a lovely connection! Enjoyed the whole cursed aspect; entertaining ideas. A good read!
A good value collection of shifter stories of a Christmas nature that will leave us all with the seasonal spirit.
#1 A Furry Little Christmas - C.D. Gorri - 5*
This is a second chance at a love book set in the Maccon City Pack area. I really enjoyed it and was rooting for them both.
#2 Unwrapping Her Dragon - Julia Mills - 3*
This is a Dragon Warrior story. Everleigh knows that the dragon is hers, but after he just left her she is not yet ready to let him get near her. He certainly has his work cut out for him.
#3 Her Cowboy Warrior – Liv Brywood - 3*
I enjoyed this story although I did find the female lead a bit clueless at times
#4 Tis the Season for Sass – Melanie James - 4*
This is set in the Black Paw wolves pack and was a great mix between lots of action and magic.
#5 A Fated Mate for Christmas – Selena Blake - 5*
I loved this story and the way that Garett and Gabriella connected together and the strength she got through her connection to him.
#6 The Honeybear’s Xmas Curse – Jacqueline Sweet - 5*
I loved this story and how she was saved from evil magic at Christmas time.
#7 Her Cowboy's Christmas Surprise – J. K. Harper - 2*
I really disliked this story. As I was reading it I was just shouting in my head at Callie to stop being so stupid and acting like an idiot.
#8 Gracie’s Gift – V. Vaughn - 4*
I loved this story and the connections between them all were great.
Okay anthology but agree with others that unless read series that they referred to you lost the storyline a bit.
Gracie’s Gift was unresolved with poor ending.
Others were good but not great. Liv Brywood’s was best one.
A Fated Mate for Xmas also unresolved as seemed to skip what happened to Gabrielle’s father after they didn’t agree to a truce. Also no scene where she was introduced as his mate to family and pack. Epilogue a year later with no mention of either matter.
Worst was JK Harper’s. The whole story read like an Asian novel badly translated and did not have the writing style of JK Harper. I have never read a worse written book. I ended up only skimming it as it was too frustrating.
Review for the first two books but I can promise that all of the stories are amazing. I know I found some new authors to read.
Gracie’s Gift is about one amazing young woman that has devoted her life to helping others even when they don’t appreciate her. But when she meets when handsome man she won’t believe him when he shows her how amazing she is. Her whole life will change with the right man to love her.
A Furry Little Christmas is about second chances at love. Shifters have a fated mate but finding that one may not always be possible. For our two main characters taking chances at something may be too big of a risk. The book is filled with love of family and pack.
Gracie & Jack He needed to find his mate and with a little help, he left his warrior status for a while to go to a winter ski lodge. There he met the shy Gracie and knew immediately she was his. He just had to convince her and explain he was a werebear and what it would mean for her to become his mate. There was another something to overcome as well. I loved the story, her coming out of herself.
Tis the Season for Sass by Melanie James: Ginger & Chance: Christmas isn't for her no family, especially since her BFF met her mate a moved. However, this year there are surprises in store for her and she may just find what she thought she'd never have.
No matter how I get Gorri’s story,ether it be by itself or with a group of other story by other authors I must read her’s first. Please I mean no disrespect. I always go back and read all the stories ( which are amazing). That being said…. I have read A furry little Christmas by Gorri and what a wonderful second chance at love with their fates mate it is!! Yet again the imagination Gorri has is out of this World!! What an amazing awesome read!!
Mistletoe and Mates: Shifters in Love Holiday Anthology by V. Vaughn, J. K. Harper, Julia Mills, Melanie James, Liv Brywood, Jacqueline Sweet, C. D. Gorri, Selena Blake is a fantastically amazing box set that I have loved reading. I highly recommend this box set to everyone who loves reading about shifters and holiday romances.
I read a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy of this book & am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased review.
This collection of stories is a wonderful amazing box set that I have loved reading. The authors write entertaining storylines, and I highly recommend this box set to everyone who loves reading about shifters and holiday romances. I received this box set as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
I enjoyed and would recommend 7 out of the 8 stories!! But, Her Cowboys Christmas Surprise by JK Harper was too awkward to read past the first chapter or two!!! It read like a rough draft or something with many errors. I can’t believe this story was even published!!!!
I love it when these ladies get together and Rock Out! Great holiday reading. Found and read new series. Two hard to read and follow; had to skip those, but oh looking forward the the new series. Action, romance, thrills with chills and an adventures filed with awesome characters and their personalities!
Beautiful collection of Christmas stories. Full of Christmas, shifters and love. Except for the story by J.K. Harper. The story itself was cute, but the writing/language was absolutely terrible. So terrible it ruined the enjoyment of a cute shifter christmas-story. So skip the Harper-story, and enjoy the rest of the collection.
Some of My Favorite Authors and A Few New Favorites
Perfect read for getting into the holiday spirit! Most of the stories were awesome and I’m excited to have found a new author or two and can’t wait to read more of their work!
I loved the book some were short some was right to the point but don't get me wrong I did not see or read any of the ladies being dark skin other then that I could not put the book set down continue write great books
Several of the stories were very good. All had a Christmas theme. One of the stories kept using “he” when talking about the female. One of the stories the h was naked and the H carried her to the bedroom only to strip her clothes off. Some of the stories needed a proof reader.
