    <body><![CDATA[This book contained three novellas that take place near Christmas. The first story, Hot Toy, by Jennifer Crusie, I found to be disappointing.

Not so bad that you can't finish it, but not good enough to lure you from the TV set.

    <body><![CDATA[After reading these three novellas it was very obvious why Jennifer Crusie was the lead author.  Her story, Santa Baby, was cute and had some funny dialogue making it worth reading.  Novella two, by Lori Foster was a sad excuse for a story.  The plot was thin and spent way too much time describing t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80922216">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love Jennifer Crusie, and after reading the whole book, I actually like the fact that this story leaves an opening for an actual full novel to be developed. It was the most realistic (like that's what you're looking for when you read romances, but still) set of relationships.<br/><br/>The second...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42619975">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So I mainly picked up this book because of Carly Phillips, I love her romance novels, but I was less than impressed with this short story.  The first story, Hot Toy (I think that's what it was) was a little underdeveloped.
