…And we ask why there is Global Warming? Meet Tanner, most probably the number one reason for it, especially when he butts heads with Trista, the boss’s defiant daughter. Alison Foster fires up the pages with strong characters, tons of attitude and off the charts heat with Take Me Home.
See Tanner through Trista’s eyes, red their story and you decide, are they doomed to be on opposing sides? Tanner is brash, self-assured and not afraid to dole out some shock factor. What he didn’t count on was h ...more

This is the Ella that I fell in love with when I first stumbled upon The Art of Submission,
her writing has grown so much over this amount of time, and I have loved being able to witness this.
A Cub for Christmas will give courage to those who have lost faith in themselves.

Review for A Cub for Christmas by Ella Dominguez.
Sweet and steamy- this is a perfect Christmas read.
Aaron and Ari hit it off almost immediately and the chemistry between them is undeniable despite one little barrier. Ari isn't sure if this is a deal breaker for her and she has to make the choice between her head or her heart.
I found Aaron to be just the right amount of Alpha male with a softer side and a dash of chivalrous thrown in. A recipe for the perfect man that always makes me swoon.

I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy to start my holiday season off with a bang. All of these stories are overflowing with heat and holiday cheer by 17 very talented authors. They will entice, enchant, and make you merry in ways that can be shared with your partner. Here are my thoughts on 7 of the stories and their amazing characters.

I have not had a chance to read all the stories in this amazing boxed set but from what I read, I'm happy that I invested 99 cents into this incredible deal. Love these holiday nuggets to get me in the spirit of the season and for short escapes from all the chaos.

A Cub for Christmas by Ella Dominguez Review
This sweet little tease (author included) is the perfect precursor to Christmas. But it's more than that. The main character, Ari, is well written as a mature woman, however not too mature where I felt she should apply for AARP. Aaron, same thing, kind of. He too is written in a way where I think he should have been in a frat house, hanging upside-down while chugging from a keg.
As a cougar myself, I appreciate the way this story unfolded. It had good p ...more

I was provided an ARC of this written work, in exchange for my honest review.
Just because a story is short doesn’t mean that it’s not well-developed. Short doesn’t mean you can’t fall in love with the characters in a short period of time. And in this case especially, short doesn’t mean that “A Cub for Christmas” wasn’t titillating and sexy, because it was every bit of that and more, and MORE is definitely what I want.

What a fun, easy to read, sweet holiday novella.
Noel Walker is a nurse. Her forte is the ER. She loves the adrenalin rush! At the ass end of an 18 hour shift she comes across hot as hell, built like a tank Hunter Davis. He's drop dead, (ahahah LOL) hot n hunky! So good lookin that Noel is momentarily speechless and staring! And he's the GSW that was brought in earlier.

This review is for Noel - A Blue Collar Christmas by JC Valentine.
Noel is an ER Nurse and adrenaline junkie. She would rather work during the holiday period instead of nursing a glass of Merlot or two, at home on her own.
Hunter is a Cop who has been admitted for "copping" a bullet. When Noel goes to tend to him, she is mesmerised by his eyes and his physique. To her embarrassment, Hunter notices but he is not oblivious to her either. He asks her on a date but she has a "No dating patients poli ...more

This is a review for Band Of Heather by Sarah Cradit

Oh My Heck!! I LOVE Hunter & Noel!! When they meet, the way they meet, you would think that's it they will never see each other again.

I have not read all the stories, but I read Noel: A Blue Collar Christmas. I thought it was something different, since I thought it would be only about Christmas trees and something similar. It was definitely a good surprise. Noel seems like a sweet hard working nurse and then she gets rewarded by working on a hot patient during her double shift. Mr. Davis made her feel more than she has felt in a while all by just his presence. Loved that he could definitely make her feel and change her way of

I only read a few, but so far it has totally worth buying the book, I like Gillian Cherry story, My cowboy soldier. It made me cry, and pray that all the soldiers will be able to be home for Christmas or at least be with their families. In this collection there is something for everyone . So enjoy 17 Christmas stories for a awesome price.
I received a copy of Gillian Cherry book.

This is a great box set for the small amount of dollars!! My favorite story in this bundle was Bearfield, Snowed In by Jacqueline Sweet. I also enjoyed Home Bound by Olivia Rigal and Christmas on the Run by Daizie Draper. This was a great set to find some really good new to me authors and I highly recommend this box set if you love the holidays and red hot alpha shifters!
