Silhouette Christmas Stories 1993
The Man from Pine Mountain by Lisa Jackson:
Brett Matson thought he'd gotten over Libby Bevans-until the wintry evening when he rescued his former fiancée from an icy river. With Libby in his arms, the mountain man soon discovered that the sweetest gifts weren't always wrapped in ribbons...
Naughty or Nice by Emilie Richards:
Chloe Palmer knew all about Christmas wishes-especially those of orphaned little girls, just like she had once been. But this Christmas was different. Was there magic in the air? Or was handsome contractor Egan O'Brien responsible for rebuilding her sense of Christmas spirit... and her belief in love!
Holiday Homecoming by Joan Hohl:
Years ago, Diana had been desperately in love with her handsome stepbrother, but their one night of passion had torn apart their family, and Matt had been cast out of their lives. Now the man she'd never stopped loving was coming home for Christmas...
A Kiss for Mr. Scrooge by Lucy Gordon:
Once upon a Christmas past, Dawn and Ben had become engaged. Then he drove off into the snowy night and never came back... until now. Only a miracle would transform the bitter, hardened man into the carefree lover Dawn had lost, and change a bitter-sweet Christmas into a season of love...

About the author
Lisa Jackson
275 books9,706 followersLisa Jackson is the number-one New York Times bestselling author of over ninety-five novels, including the Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya Series, the Pescoli and Alvarez Series, the Savannah series, and numerous stand alone novels. She also is the co-author of One Last Breath, Last Girl Standing, and the Colony Series, written with her sister and bestselling author Nancy Bush, as well as the collaborative novels Sinister and Ominous, written with Nancy Bush and Rosalind Noonan. There are over thirty million copies of her novels in print and her writing has been translated into twenty languages.
Before she became a nationally bestselling author, she was a mother struggling to keep food on the table by writing novels, hoping against hope that someone would pay her for them. Today, neck deep in murder, her books appear on The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly national bestseller lists.
With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.

I've had this book since it was released in 1993 and it's just not Christmas without reading these stories. "Naughty or Nice" by Emilie Richards and "Holiday Homecoming" by Joan Hohl are my favorite in this compilation, with my inevitably crying over "Naughty or Nice".
Dec. 2018. I've reread this book a number of times since I first picked it up in 1993, and I STILL find myself near sobbing over "Naughty or Nice".... This is one story that's stood the test of time, for me. "Holiday Homecoming" is also a nice read, though I'm seeing it in a different light as I get older. The other two stories are ok, but don't seem to have enough impact that I can ever even remember what they're about from year to year.

The stories by Richards and Gordon were wonderful. Jackson's was mediocre. Hohl's was pretty creepy.

Jackson and Gordon stories were nothing special, I cried when reading Richard’s and it was my personal favorite, and I actually skipped Hohl altogether after two pages because I am NOT reading a weird ass step brother passion trope. I think the concept of Christmas stories was a nice idea. I got this book super cheap thrifting it but it was a bit outdated. If you wanted short stories to get you into the Christmas spirit a little more this is a good way to go, but I would not reread or seek more books from any of the authors listed.

Very quick-reading feel-good stories set around the Christmas Holidays. 3 of them were okay, the fourth I did not like.
