Reviews

[April Symes · Rating 4 out of 5]

This box set contains 13 authors who are known to the romance community. There are a lot of great stories in this box set for a great price with a Christmas theme. I reviewed 4 out of the 12 stories in this box set.
1.) Lauren Landish-- Christmas Thief: Jaxon made plans to get back at from Henry Johnson who over 15 years ago stole his house, his life, his family, and his future. Due to this, his life ended up so very different and he wants to make sure he makes this man pay. Mandy is feeling guilty of how her parents wound up in Whitechapel because of their shady and evil dealings. She remembers him every year on his birthday. She is passing her time down until she can get out and go to college so she can never come back because she is so ashamed of her parents. But now that Jaxon has made his revenge plans, what does that mean for Mandy? Will he have mercy on Mandy? Will he continue on his revenge? Will Mandy ever get to see the real Jaxon ? My review: 4.5 stars


2.) Willow Winters—Stolen Mistletoe Kisses: Vinny is a foster kid who made it huge by building special motorcycles for people. He is planning to steal money from department store owner Jimmy Morose who is practically a Grinch. But his plans are almost stopped when he runs into Cary Ann. She is someone he has known all his life. She is innocent and sweet. All he wants to do is steal the money to give to the orphanage for the kids but Cary Ann could derail all this. He cares for her .He cares for her very much and doesn’t want her to get hurt while he pulls this off. Will Vinny get what he came for or will Cary Ann get in the way? Will Vinny get his “Cherry” on this Christmas go round or will he end up going home empty handed? My review: 4.6 stars

3.) 4.) Vivian Wood—Hard Candy: Shelby River takes a trip into the mountains of Tennessee because she is trying to avoid Walker Roman. Her sister is married to his brother and she couldn’t see having to take a vacation with her family and he being there. Shelby always figured that she and Walker would marry then he married someone else.Now her family wants to take a vacation to Cancun and that means he would be coming along and she doesn’t think she could handle him being there, her going and being partnerless. At the cabin, she gets a rude awakening when someone is pounding on her door and when she opens the door, Shelby finds a man buried under the snow at her door. She thinks he is dead at first but no, he is almost dead due to the cold. She gets him inside and ends up saving his life. Wolfe Carmichael is the man whose life Shelby saved and he is surprised to find himself in her cabin since he is was on his way to his buddy’s cabin when his car died on him. There is this chemistry between them and one thing leads to another and boom—what will happen when the snow melts enough for Wolfe to leave ? Will he stay and pursue a relationship? Will Shelby find love after all? This is one great read. My review: 5 stars

4.) SOPHIA BROOKS - BAD BOY SANTA-- Olivia is a teacher and she takes care of her sick mother. To make extra money to meet all the bills, she takes on extra jobs and one of them is being Santa’s Elf for the season. She would have been married by now but the man she loved broke her heart 6 years ago and left her. Jackson made the biggest mistake of his life 6 years ago when he let Olivia believe he had cheated on her. Jackson has spent his time since the last 6 years in some war zone taking photographs and it has left lasting impressions. Now he is back and he has taken the job as a Santa at a friend’s store and Olivia turns out to be his Elf. Things are great between them when she doesn’t know who he actually is at first but when she finds out-WATCH OUT! That slap became the slap heard round the world. I can understand why Jackson deserved it and we get to see some of the backstory but this 2nd chance love story had gumption and redemption built in with passion in this short novella. I do wish it was a bit longer but I understand why it couldn’t be. My review: 4.5 stars

Holly Hart—Naughty and Nice
Linnea May—Oriental Essance
BB Hamel—The Santa Code
Jay S. Wilder—Santa Boss
London Casey and Jaxson Kidman
Bella Love-Wins—Christmas Fever

'Santa Boss' By: Jay S. Wilder

[Susan Foulkes · Rating 3 out of 5]

A mixed bag of stories here, some by authors I know and love, some by new to me authors.

I enjoyed most of the stories but was left feeling meh when I finished....

None of the "boys" were truly "bad".

I suppose I was expecting more grit, and naughtiness, and less sweetness from these authors.

I can recommend the book as a sweet Christmas read but no more.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Rae Derby · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. A great book with good stories from some awesome authors! Great read!!

[Jamoz23 · Rating 4 out of 5]

BAD BOYS UNDER THE MISTLETOE
Some very enjoyable stories, some were a waste of my time but still good value for money.
Make up your own mind but I have found a new author to look into.
LAUREN LANDISH - CHRISTMAS THIEF
Didn’t like Mandy, even at the end, living off the benefits of murder and never once saying a word. Being scared is one thing, being a coward is another. I can understand at the time saying nothing but she could have spoken up any time afterwards.
Jaxon was hard but he had every right to be. I felt so sorry for him as NOTHING will give him back what was taken from him.
I am glad he had his revenge but it never said if he was exonerated. I really wanted his name cleared and restitution made.
WILLOW WINTERS - STOLEN MISTLETOE KISSES
A crime committed for the right reasons. A very good read with likeable characters.
BELLA LOVE WINS - CHRISTMAS FEVER
Didn’t like this one which is unusual for this author. Found both Lily and Nick very abrasive and unlikeable with no real connection apart from sex.
VIVIAN WOOD - HARD CANDY
I really enjoyed this Christmas story but wanted to hit Wolfe upside the head.
Shelby did not want to be the third wheel on a holiday cruise so takes herself off to a mountain cabin for Christmas.
Shelby saves Wolfe from dying in the snow and they spend a few days snowed together in her cabin getting to know each other.
What did Wolfe think Shelby was going to think waking up to a note the morning after they slept together. Men are so stupid sometimes. I loved that Shelby gave him stick when he turned up.
I have read the Seals series by this author so I know who Shelby is talking about but I did not know Walker had his story.
VIVIAN LUX - BY THE FIRE
An okay read but did nothing for me. Didn't really care about h's, they were both wrong.
AMELIA WILDE - BAD BOY CHRISTMAS RESCUE
Another heroine with no guts. Really, India destroys Dawson on prom night, the boy she supposedly loves and then never apologises or talks to him and explains what her dad said.
Ten years later she is back in town visiting her parents for Christmas and is saved by Dawson. She spends the night with him but once again screws it up.
When India gets home and says she was with Dawson her dad is all, he has done well for himself. When India pulls her dad up on the past her dad is all laughing “yeah I was a prick back then”. I just wanted what was best for you blah blah.
Dawson blames himself for India walking this time and is understanding of 18 year old India’s actions even if he cannot forgive how she hurt him.
I just wish Dawson had found someone more worthy of him who appreciated him for what and who he is.
SOPHIA BROOKS - BAD BOY SANTA
A good story about second chances.
Olivia is a teacher and looks after her ill mother. To make ends meet she takes on second jobs and one of them is being Santa’s Elf for the season. She loved Jackson but he broke her heart on Prom night then he left town a few days later.
Jackson made the biggest mistake of his life 6 years ago when he let Olivia believe he had cheated on her. Spending years in war zones as a photographer has given him some bad memories and he is pretty much an alcoholic.
He takes the job as Santa at a friend’s store and Olivia turns out to be his Elf.
She doesn’t know who he is for a while and they get on really well but once she finds out who he is she gives him one hell of slap.
I liked this story of second chances but wasn’t sure Jackson was good enough for Liv, his drinking was a big problem and worried me. I am not sure he could go cold turkey without help from AA or something like that.
I did like how he helped Olivia with her dream.
HOLLY HART - NAUGHTY AND NICE
Not my cup of tea. Drugs and criminals.
LINNEA MAY - ORIENTAL ESSENCE
Disliked this story and not because of the very slight BDSM, more Sir – slave thing.
I just didn’t like the way Ava was treated by Derek, I thought he was mean to her.
BB HAMEL - THE SANTA CODE
A little bit too silly for me. Bit of Indiana Jones, Willy Wonka and other themes. The Syndicate is trying to ruin Christmas because it is worth billions, taking away feel good factor of the ETHER.
JAY S WILDER - SANTA BOSS
Boring and silly Boss/Secretary sex scene with no real story.
Raven gets a job and on her first day has sex with Gareth, SLUT anyone, someone she doesn’t even know at the office Christmas party. No alcohol involved.
Gareth turns out to be one of the bosses. They continue to have sex all over the place even in the limo playing boss secretary scenarios. What a waste of my time reading this.
LONDON CASEY & JAXON KIDMAN – INK
Not my cup of tea. I hate man whores and lost souls. This had both. Neither were nice people in my book and I didn’t care what happened to them.
Steph and Taz are childhood sweethearts. He leaves and f**ks his way around the country, time has passed in between, Steph hooks up with a drug dealer and only leaves him when he hits her. Gets Taz to come get her, then they are back together.
.
My thanks to Vivian Wood for asking for my honest review of this box set.

Although every story in this book was amazing, I am only reviewing a few.

Lauren Landish-Christmas Thief

Mandy and Jaxon realize that their love for each other is more important than his revenge, and start a life together. Sexy and sweet, I loved this story.

Cary Ann is tired of her boss ripping off the money he is supposed to be donating to the local orphanage. So she makes plans to see that the money is donated. Vinnie, the man she has had a crush on for years has also decided to make sure the orphans are given the donated money. Hot and sexy romance. Fantastic!

Christmas Fever by Bella Love Wins
Lily meets Nick in the bar of a resort where the are both staying for a business meeting. Lily needs a little relaxation before the meeting, so she takes Nick to her room for a quickie. They are stuck at the resort because of a snow storm, and their business meeting is cancelled. Whew, sizzling hot, fantastic story.

Sweet, sexy and funny characters, this is a wonderful story.

Autumn hasn't seen Cole since he left their small hometown to attend college, and she probably won't be thrilled with his main reason for returning.

This book is a great collection of hot and sexy holiday romances by some of my favorite authors and some new to me authors. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite but Christmas Thief by Lauren Landish is definitely at the top of the list. It's a romantic and sexy second chance romance about a man falsely imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit and determined to reclaim what's rightfully his, including the girl he left behind. In Stolen Mistletoe Kisses by Willow Winters, Vinny's carefully planned heist is a go; Cary Ann is a monkey wrench in the works but has surprising plans of her own. One of the hottest romances in the bunch is Bella Love-Wins' Christmas Fever about two strangers stranded by a snowstorm and making the most of their time together. I loved Autumn and Cole's story, By the Fire, written by Vivian Lux. Cole is a man on a mission, and part of his mission includes reclaiming lost love Autumn. I can't forget Amelia Wilde's great second chance romance, Bad Boy Christmas Rescue and the rest of these awesome romances; Hard Candy by Vivian Wood; The Santa Code by BB Hamel; Naughty and Nice by Holly Hart; Oriental Essence by Linnea May for BDSM fans; Ink by London Casey and Jaxon Kidman; Bad Boy Santa by Sophie Brooks; and the steamy Santa Boss by Jay S. Wilder. I loved each and every one.

HOLIDAY SIZZLING ROMANCES

Charmingly romantic holiday book set that was sent to me the night before I had lung surgery; which was yesterday. This set uplifted my spirits and kept my mind off the surgery; the stories are filled with sultry males, beautiful sassy females, witty dialogue, picturesque vivid scene descriptions, some danger, action, suspense, heart-rending moments, some life-threatening moments and fiery sensuous romances filled with devotion and much passion. There are a few second chance romances, a Robin Hood-like romance; contest winners romances, valiant heroes/heroine rescue romances and so much more. There are happy ever endings after the hurdles are conquered; and when they are reached they are so deliciously sweet.

Fast paced and wonderfully written stories, all impressive; each is a delightfully entertaining read that I loved. You truly cannot go wrong with this romantic set; if you treasure holiday stories this is a terrific set for your library. {I am so happy Willow Winters sent me this set as an advanced copy; a fabulous way to take your mind off your worries; this is totally a voluntary review}. Without reservations, I recommend this set.

Stolen Mistletoe Kisses by Willow Winters

I enjoyed this story about Vinny and Cary Ann. He had been watching her, watching the store for his own reasons and remembering when they were younger. The story and the characters keep you on your toes! I love the heat between them and the flow of the characters as their story unfolds. A must!

Bad Boy Christmas Rescue by Amelia Wilde

OMG I absolutely LOVED this!! I was immediately drawn in to the characters, India and Dawson. They have a deep and intense connection. Such a great story of a second chance at love and oh so HOT! Fantastic!

Ink by London Casey and Jaxon Kidman

Another great read that I could not get enough of! I really enjoyed the characters, Steph and Taz. He gets a text from her asking for help and that deep connection that the two shared so long ago is still there. Heat, a bit of danger and a long time bond many years apart kept me loving every minute! LOVED it!!

This is a collection of shot sexy stories all with a christmas theme and just short enough for an enjoyable read on a cold winters night snuggled up on the sofa.
I'm reviewing Hard candy by Vivian Wood
I love Vivian's books and this one didn't disappoint.
When Shelby decides to take a vacation to the mountains over Christmas to avoid a wedding she expected that she would be alone for the holidays but she didn't expect hunky Wolfe Carmichael knocking at her door nearly freezing to death. Oh there is sizzling chemistry between them and after awhile the inevitable happens Wolfe then leaves when Shelby is sleeping, a dick move but the boy does good and returns. What will happen to the pair of them. Will it stay a fling or will it turn into something more..... I loved it an I was sad when it ended as I wanted to see more of their story.

You have to one click this right now. I was shocked when I saw the list of authors that have written as part of this collection. All but two of them, I already read every book they release, so I knew this had to be good, and it was. There are hours and hours of sizzling hotness ready for you to read. I was going to take each one and review separately, but I can just do it as one. They all have great stories that really pull you in, and are steamy hot for the holidays. There are also no cliffhangers. I voluntarily reviewed this advanced copy, and even though I did not have to read every story in order to write a review, there was no way that I could stop without reading the whole thing.

I received Hard Candy Christmas as a review copy and this is my freely given honest review. Hard Candy Christmas is Shelby River's story. She is surrounded by happy couples and decides to go on a mountain retreat holiday by herself to lick her wounds. She planned on marrying Sawyer Roman from SEAL's Touch even though she doesn't love him, has never kissed him and isn't really attracted to him beyond appreciating that he's as hot looking as his brothers. A snowstorm hits and she ends up rescuing a sexy SEAL named Wolfe! Talk about a Merry Christmas! Wolfe is alone as well and the last thing he thought when he got lost in a snowstorm was that he was saved by an angel. Boy is he right! Hard Candy Christmas is a quick sexy romp in Tennessee!
