My rating is only for the book by Anne McAllister - Never Say Never
The heroine's is the workholic hero's secretary and somehow circumstances (a woman after the H), has the hero spending the holidays at heroine's close-knit family as her fiancee and discovering what a family truly is and falling in love. I liked seeing how the hero was caught so off guard by how loving h's family were.

First and last stories didn’t keep my interest. Barbara Bretton’s story was a little over-the-top, like a sitcom, but I found myself smiling through it.

The first story by Anne McAllister was cute--he's the boss, she's the assistant; they both pull the other into a pretend engagement at Christmas and of course, end up making it real.
The second story by Barbara Bretton was also cute--two New Year's babies grow up neighbors; their families are friends. They elope when they're 18 but break up; and 7 years later is the charm...
The last story was a bit of a confusing mess. Widower carpenter needs friend to show former inlaws that they're doing OK this Christmas...

First two stories were alright but the last one was rather crude.
