Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

I'm looking forward to the holiday season. . Are there any new, easy reading holiday romances out that you would recommend?

have you read Penny Watson? she has 2 books out where the heros are the sons of Santa - there are supposed to be some more coming in the future

Sweet Inspiration
Sweet Magik

Ooohhh! I really enjoyed Sweet Inspiration
Will have to look into getting Sweet Magik this year.

These both look good.. Are they available in the US?

they are - they might have different covers now because I think she got her rights back and re-released them - book 3 will be out in 2013

I haven't read it yet, it was just released today, but Ruthie Knox has been excellent so far, and she's got a story in Naughty and Nice: Three Holiday Treats. And the $1.99 pricing is very nice, too!

Also haven't read it yet (not quite ready for Christmas stories, I guess) but just out last week is Silent Night: A Lady Julia Christmas Novella. No idea what the story is about, but I'm a Lady Julia fan, so I'm there. Probably wouldn't recommend it if you haven't read the series yet. My guess is it would be confusing and spoilerific as an entry point to the series.

For m/m fans, Amy Lane has two new stories in her Knitter series, How to Raise an Honest Rabbit and Knitter in His Natural Habitat. Rabbit is already out, Knitter will be released in a week or two. I'm making assumptions about these two. They're sequels to a Christmas story she wrote last year, and they're releasing at the right time, so I'm assuming they're holiday stories also.

Riptide is putting out a gay BDSM Christmas anthology called O Come All Ye Kinky. I understand there's a f/f story in there as well as m/m. Part of the proceeds from this one will go to the Domestic Violence Project of the National Leather Association- International. It comes out on December 3rd.

And Carina Press should be putting out a couple of holiday anthologies, too. I don't have any details, but I know in the past you could buy the whole thing or just the stories you want.

I think MLR Press normally puts out of m/m christmas anthology as well

i haven;t read this one yet - but A Winter Wonderland I want it personally for Kristina McMorris' contribution
