3.5 stars - I'm disappointed that several of the stories in this anthology are incomplete. I was anticipating completed novellas. Sure, they might include a happy ending or two (and I'm not talking about the HEA kind) but they either had a cliffhanger or ended prematurely. Total bummer on that front.
There's a little something in here for most. Several MCs, m/m, military, and more are in this compilation. I enjoyed stories, giving them between 3 & 4 ⭐. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this collection.

I’m here for Alex and Aspen’s story by Evan Grace. I loved Alex’s parents in their book, so I had to see how he turned out. Imagine my delight at finding that his perfect woman was someone he’d already met and lost. Aspen and Alex were the perfect drama-free holiday read. Sure, they had some stuff to figure out, but once Alex got his head together after a startlingly short freak-out moment, he made it his mission to grab hold of the good life in front of him and KEEP it. His family definitely helped in showing Aspen just how easily she and Dakota fit into their world, just in time for Christmas shopping and celebrating. I’d love to read about Alex’s siblings at some point also.

There are 11 stories in this antho and they are all amazing. I have read stories from KC Stone, Elizabeth Knox and EC Land and I love their writing. I also found some new authors to stalk as well.
Under the Mistletoe- KC Stone **MC are Missy and Ranger and oh boy was this hot. This story takes place in the Lawless MC series so you will need to read this at some time if you are going to read the series. I love how they both do not want relationships but one touch can spark anything. In this case it was everything. What will happen to them both and will there be a happy ever after? Definitely a great start to the antho.
Naughty List- Elizabeth Knox **Sunny and Ice** Well is there such a thing as second chances. Yes there is. Do you remember Octavia, well this is her mom and dads story and this could get really interesting. They have a past but the love is still there. What will happen with these two? Now I will be on the hunt to find this story.
Stoney's Gift- EC Land **Stoney and Rachel** So let me say that if you the Devils Riot MC originals then you need this in your life. This will bring more understanding of what is going on with these two. I kind of was getting scared there for a bit because they were struggling as a couple. However, there is hope. What will happen to bring these two together again? Can they overcome insecurities?
Want me, Santa- Ashlynn Mills **Gray/Michael** WHOLLY HOTNESS, Yes I said it. Love me some M/M and this is the first I have read a book by this author and love it. These two men work together one is boss and the other employee. One mixed up presents sets things in motion. They both have insecurities from their past that gets in the way. Will they overcome this issue? All I can say is that I need more.
Unwrapping Mine- Amy Davies ** Zarah and Maze** First time I have read from this author as well and yep going to add this to all my list to read. So Zarah's sister is with a member of an MC so she is around the club a lot. Maze well he is your typical man who does not settle down but when he looks at Zarah, he starts to get ideas. Is it enough to act on it. Well Maze gets a surprise of a lifetime and he needs to man up. Will that include Zarah?
Santa's Little Girl- Pepper North **Erica and Patrick** okay this one was interesting and the first I have read by this author and the first of this kind of story. It was written well. You have Erica who seems meek and timid. She is always helping where she can but doing things on her own. Patrick sees something in her and wants her to be his little girl. Well it is emotional and intriguing. It is steamy and perfect.
Santa's Surprise-Evan Grace **Alex and Aspen** Well do you ever get that gut feeling that you are where you need to be but it doesn't reveal itself til the time is right. Yes, well that happens for Alex and Aspen. Seems like fate weaved their thread again and hopefully they will embrace it. This definitely was pulling on my heartstrings. I need to know where this went and loved it.
Finding Love at Christmas- Krista Ames **Grant and Melanie** We have an office romance here. Grant is the owner of the advertising company and Melanie is a secretary to a partner in the office. Both of them have like each other but have yet to act on it. That changes one day. However something else is going on and that had me going back to make sure I did not miss anything. It was a mystery and I loved it.
Secret Santa- Cedar Rose **Noelle and Dasher** This is such a cute little story. Can love be found again? Can you forgive the past and move on? Well Noelle and Dasher will go through the motions again. Dasher is trying to correct a mistake he made. Is he going about the right way or will it all flop? Loved it.
Christmas Miracle- Jen Talty ** Ruby and Corey** I cried and with this story. Ruby and Corey are made for each other. Their first encounter was pretty epic and it goes on from there. However, this is a military romance and will resonate in your soul. It was sad, well written and so good to read.
Mistletoe Kisses - Lizzie James ** Faith and Jack** This is a bit funny and cute. Both Faith and Jack are into each other but Jack is afraid to ask her out. She makes him want more in life only he has a reputation. Faith will have to finally give Jack a chance but at what cost. Perfect for an ending in the antho.

“Want Me, Santa” by Ashlynn Mills - This is a hilarious holiday read about a different kind of office romance.
This story features two men - one who hates Christmas and gives off Grinch vibes, Gray - and one who wants Christmas everywhere, Michael. Things start to get heated when Michael receives the wrong Christmas gift from his boss.
Michael is hard at work trying to make partner at his job. He works long hours and does everything right. He’s a little stressed out, but makes the best out of things. He has the best Christmas socks - and some spectacular lines that had me grinning. Gray comes at life from a different angle and he has had experiences that made him that way. I definitely came around to him.
We’re promised more, but I feel like the ending is a definite ending with a promise that these two have opened the door to more.

5 LOVE IT/FAVORITE Star Kindle Unlimited Read
I love anthologies, especially when they are load with visits from some if my favorite authors like Elizabeth Knox and E.C. Land. It's even better when these authors revisit some of my favorite characters.
On the flip side sometimes I'm introduced to something that is just not my cup of tea. I just can't get it why a grown a$$ man would want to pretend his woman is a little girl. That's too close to him acting out peadophilia urges. That in the future could be very dangerous.
Back to the positive, anthologies open up the opportunity to meet new authors and fall for new characters or new series.

I want to start by saying I only reviewed three of the stories in this book.
Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox
This was only the beginning of a story, but she explained this in her Author's note at the end. I really like the idea of an older couple. And I know there's a story there about how they broke up. Looking forward to the "rest of the story".
Stoney's Gift by EC Land
OMG, OMG, OMG, we FINALLY get the rest of the Rachel/Stoney story and I was crying. A turns heartbreaking and tragic, I so wanted to hug them both. I was initially mad when Stoney walked out after Rachel dropped her bomb, but he thankfully came around. So glad they're back on the right path.
Santa's Little Girl by Pepper North
This was a cute little insta-love DD/lg story. It's everything you have come to expect from Pepper North's Little style stories, although I was a little mad Erika ran before talking to Patrick. Great HEA.

Loved all the stories. Only three of the authors (Elizabeth Knox, E.C. Land and Jen Talty) I've read books for, the others I knew but haven't read before. In Elizabeth's book, Sonny has a problem with a patients father and she goes to Ice for help, who plays Santa for the kids in this story, in E.C. Land's story is about Stoney and Rachel, Christmas is a time for miracles, and one story was a true miracle, Jen Talty's book about Corey, missing in action. His fiance is pregnant when he goes on assignment. He's been missing for 3 years. Have tissues ready. Loved all the stories. HEA. I received this book from Booksprout for an honest review.
December 12, 2020
A collaboration of some great authors for some festive magic! Some books are the start to a new series other are continuation. Theres something for every taste, guaranteed hot scenes, desires, action, suspense, cliffhangers to some stories. Well written with great story line that grab your attention and hold all the way through.

This anthology is absolutely perfect. Elizabeth Knox gathered 11 fantastic authors to bring us one steamy anthology. We get some new stories by Cedar Rose, Ashlynn Mills and Elizabeth Knox plus we get to catch up with some of our favorites by EC Land and KC Stone. Grab some tissues, a blanket and some yummies because once you start this you won’t want to put it down. 🖤🔥🎄🔥🖤

Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox
No fair!!! Way to give me this teaser on this books that I’m so very happy you are going to write more on. It was great and had me hooked. I loved Ice and Sunny already. Now I need to know when I can get my hands on the rest because what I read just now was fantastic!!

I really liked Jen Talty's story in this book. It showed how strong women are when faced with heartache and how no matter what they keep the faith and never give up. And it also gives us a look at what a military spouse goes thru when deployed. There was such emotions, sadness, and tears of joy at Christmas time. I met some authors I've never read before and the story's were all good. Will be reading some new authors to see where their story's go.
December 11, 2020
OMG!! This is an awesome anthology! Some of these left me wanting more of the story, while others made me want to read more by the author! Trigger warning for a couple of the stories.

A great Christmas anthology to warm up your cold winter nights. Quite a few stories that range from sweet to spicy. There is something for everyone. Fun read. I’ve written a review for each individual story.
Under the Mistletoe - K.C. Stone
Torren, who goes by the road name Ranger, is part of an MC and is introduced to Missy (an architect) by a mutual friend. Sparks fly and they end up spending one hot night together. When Missy doesn’t hear from him for a couple weeks she writes him off as a jerk. Torren, used to being the love em and leave em type, realizes he can’t get Missy out of his mind and knows he’s screwed up. Very fast paced insta-lust type book. I like the characters, but the story seems rushed. The plot is jumpy and the book didn’t really click for me. Dialogue is stilted in places and sometimes feels forced. Not a bad read but not a favorite, maybe because it’s just a short book in an anthology? I’m holding out for a full length story, she seems like a redeemable author.
Naughty List - Elizabeth Knox
A quick read from Liz about Sunny (a pediatric oncology nurse) and Ice (a member of the Satan’s Raiders MC. Sunny and Ice have a history and a child together. She comes to him for a favor or two ... and ends up with a WHOLE LOT MORE. It’s only a few chapters but it is well written and leaves you wanting the rest of the story. I love that they are a seasoned couple with real life under their belts, but are still steamy and have off the charts chemistry. Can’t wait to read the rest of their story.
Stoney’s Gift - E.C. Land
Stoney and Rachel have been through so many ups and downs. All of the drama has taken its toll and their relationship is hanging by a thread. Stoney finally realizes he needs to make a change or lose his women forever. There are dark forces trying to keep them a part and it all comes to a head in a dramatic fashion. I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t been a big fan of Stoney in the past. He’s been such a jerk. This story definitely redeemed him in my eyes. Great read lots of twists and steaminess. Good job E.C.
Want Me, Santa - Ashlynn Mills
In theory the plot has great potential. You get a holiday themed office/boss trope with a bit of an enemies to lover vibe. But, for me anyway, the reality was a bit uncomfortable. Michael and Gray were awkward to me. Their chemistry would waver from hot to almost forced. Michael was wishy washy and Gray was less “alpha hole” and more just plain crappy boss. I don’t kink shame, as long as it’s all safe and consensual you do you, but the Santa/Elf role play ... not for me. Creeped me out to be honest. I’d like to see where their relationship goes and how it looks outside of a Christmas theme. This one didn’t do much for me.
Unwrapping Mine - Amy Davies
Maze and Zarah are family in the sense that he’s a member of the Unforgiven Riders MC and the club has taken her in as one of their own. They’ve been tip toeing around each other for a long time, but Maze’s man whoring ways have kept them a part. A Christmas miracle puts a whole lot of things into perspective and these two are seeing each other in a whole new way. Great characters, great plot, AMAZING chemistry! I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more from Amy.
Santa’s Little Girl - Pepper North
Not going to lie, I was super confused about this book at first. I haven’t read this author before so I wasn’t sure if being a “Little” was referring to something supernatural.. oh bless my naive heart. Again I don’t kink shame but this role play is NOT my cup of tea, and made me a little uncomfortable. However, I LOVED Erika and Patrick together. They were so sweet and had amazing chemistry. Cute plot, great holiday story. Like Hallmark but kinky. Not something I would normally read, but it was well written.
Santa Surprise (A Ripple Effect Novella) - Evan Grace
Ugh! Be still my heart! Such a sweet Christmas story! Aspen and Alex are so perfect for each other, and Dakota is the cutest! Well written, great storyline and I love that it had drama but it wasn’t overly dramatic. I’m new to the author but I really want to read Brick and Ripley’s story now to see how it all started. Just the right amount of sweet and steamy!
Finding Love At Christmas (A Christmas Crush #1) - Krista Ames
Very short and sweet office romance story with a side of creepy WTF. Grant and Melanie have both been infatuated with each other not realizing they both feel the same way. A ride in an elevator turns into revelations and some drama. Honestly it was almost too short to get into it. Not a whole lot of plot. It would be nice to get more in depth with the characters and see what happens next. Not bad but definitely not a favorite.
Secret Santa - Cedar Rose
Holy Christmas! Like Christmas EVERYWHERE! This is Hallmark cheesy but it the best way. Dasher (yup like the reindeer) is determined to right all the wrongs and get Noelle (see all the Christmas?!) back in his life where she belongs. Cute story, very original and a fun read. A sweet romance with a little foul language thrown in. I enjoyed it.
A Christmas Miracle (An Aegis Network Short Story - Jen Talty
So. Many. Feels. Coming from a military family, this is a tough story to read. This pulled at the heart strings. Phenomenal writing, realistic plot, you can feel the love and the heartache in every page. I would love to read more about Corey and Ruby, they’ve captured my heart. Great job!
Mistletoe Kisses - Lizzie James
Quick fun read. Jack and Faith have always had a thing for each other. Both thought they weren’t good enough for the other. When they agree to help out their friend play Santa and his elf, they decide to take their friendship to the next level. Great chemistry, fun plot, steamy and witty banter.

I haven’t read this author before so I wasn’t sure if being a “Little” was referring to something supernatural.. oh bless my naive heart. Again I don’t kink shame but this role play is NOT my cup of tea, and made me a little uncomfortable. However, I LOVED Erika and Patrick together. They were so sweet and had amazing chemistry. Cute plot, great holiday story. Like Hallmark but kinky. Not something I would normally read, but it was well written.
Santa Surprise (A Ripple Effect Novella) - Evan Grace
Ugh! Be still my heart! Such a sweet Christmas story! Aspen and Alex are so perfect for each other, and Dakota is the cutest! Well written, great storyline and I love that it had drama but it wasn’t overly dramatic. I’m new to the author but I really want to read Brick and Ripley’s story now to see how it all started. Just the right amount of sweet and steamy!
Finding Love At Christmas (A Christmas Crush #1) - Krista Ames
Very short and sweet office romance story with a side of creepy WTF. Grant and Melanie have both been infatuated with each other not realizing they both feel the same way. A ride in an elevator turns into revelations and some drama. Honestly it was almost too short to get into it. Not a whole lot of plot. It would be nice to get more in depth with the characters and see what happens next. Not bad but definitely not a favorite.
Secret Santa - Cedar Rose
Holy Christmas! Like Christmas EVERYWHERE! This is Hallmark cheesy but it the best way. Dasher (yup like the reindeer) is determined to right all the wrongs and get Noelle (see all the Christmas?!) back in his life where she belongs. Cute story, very original and a fun read. A sweet romance with a little foul language thrown in. I enjoyed it.
A Christmas Miracle (An Aegis Network Short Story - Jen Talty
So. Many. Feels. Coming from a military family, this is a tough story to read. This pulled at the heart strings. Phenomenal writing, realistic plot, you can feel the love and the heartache in every page. I would love to read more about Corey and Ruby, they’ve captured my heart. Great job!
Mistletoe Kisses - Lizzie James
Quick fun read. Jack and Faith have always had a thing for each other. Both thought they weren’t good enough for the other. When they agree to help out their friend play Santa and his elf, they decide to take their friendship to the next level. Great chemistry, fun plot, steamy and witty banter.

Author's I'm a fan of a lot who are new to me bring some wonderful Christmas short stories to us and left me wanting more. I can't wait to catch up to these couples in the future.
December 18, 2020
A great Christmas anthology written by some amazing author's! There is something in this one for everyone and not only did I get to read some great stories but I was also introduced to some author's that I hadn't read before but I have since added them to my list of author's to read!
Under the Mistletoe by KC Stone is an insta-love/lust story about Ranger and Missy. They have chemistry from the start but Missy thinks he was only out for a good time after he never calls her. Ranger (AKA Torren) is usually a one night stand kind of guy but he can't get Missy out of his head. And when he decides to own up to his feelings, things change for them in ways neither are expecting. I really wish this had been more of a full length story, and the way it ended I think it will end up being that way. I just started getting into it when it ended, and I really enjoyed how it was going. Especially for a new to me author.
Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox brings us to Ice and Sunny. Sunny is a nurse and has a grown child with Ice, although they haven't been together for a long time. This was a quick read that left me wanting to know more about how they would end up, especially with their history. But then this author is always one for a great read!
Stoney's Gift by EC Land is about Stoney and his wife Rachel. This couple has been through a lot and have grown apart because of those things. When Stoney realizes that something has to change or he will lose his woman, he mans up and decides to fix the issues that exist. And things come to a head in a way that I certainly wasn't expecting! I liked this one a lot but I felt like I was missing something just because I hadn't read anything else by this author, so I didn't know the back story for them or the interconnecting characters. But I liked it enough to add those stories to my TBR pile.
Want Me, Santa by Ashlynn Mills is about Michael and Gray and their office romance. I had a hard time with this one. There were parts that were ok for me and this story had so much potential but I really didn't like Gray and how he treated people. And Michael just couldn't seem to decide what he really wanted. It was just ok for me.
Unwrapping Mine by Amy Davies is about Maze and Zarah. And this is another one that had so much potential and I did like how it turned out. But I almost felt like he only chose Zarah because he had a daughter to take care of. Not because of any true feelings. I much prefer when a man meets the woman he truly has feelings for, he turns his life around. Not keep being a player and changing his mind later. It's not bad, just not how I would have liked it to play out.
Santa's Little Girl by Pepper North was just ok for me. Usually I don't mind the Daddy/little play, sometimes it's just hot! This one was a little off for me. I think if that had been left off it would have played out better in my mind, because that almost seemed forced to me. But the story itself was good, their chemistry was excellent. I just felt like that portion was forced almost.
Santa Surprise by Evan Grace was also a new author to me. I was slightly lost just because I hadn't read anything in this world before but the story was good enough that I have added them to my TBR list as well! Aspen and Alex compliment each other perfectly and I loved them together. And then you throw in Dakota and that made it even sweeter!
Finding Love At Christmas by Krista Ames is an office romance that is beyond sweet! Grant and Melanie have liked each other for a while but never did anything about, until now. And they are perfect for each other! Even with the weirdness of what happens after they start seeing each other, still a sweet story.
Secret Santa by Cedar Rose is another new to me author. This was a quick and fun read. Dasher is determined to get Noelle back in his life no matter what he has to do. It reminded me of those lifetime movies but in a cuter way. I usually don't like those movies but I enjoyed this read!
A Christmas Miracle by Jen Talty-my whole reason for wanting to read this anthology!! I loved this one! But bring some tissues because it also broke my heart at the start! Corey and Ruby are engaged and he is in the Marines. While she is pregnant he was sent out on a mission. And ended up MIA. This one definitely makes your heart break and gives you all the feels. I am hoping that it will get expanded at a later date because I would love to know what happens after the miracle!
Mistletoe Kisses by Lizzie James is another quick read but I really enjoyed it! Faith and Jack have a chemistry that I thoroughly enjoyed and there were parts that just cracked me up! Definitely lots of steam but there was laughter in there as well, and I loved that!
All in all, lots of great stories even if they are quick reads. It led me to some more author's that I want to read and I would definitely read them all again!

I received a free copy of this book
Under the Mistletoe
Missy hates her name (Mistletoe) and doesn’t care for Christmas. After a great date with a “happy ending” she is ghosted by Ranger. He makes so many mistakes. SO. MANY. MISTAKES. Ranger really is the sweetest when his head isn’t up his rear. Funny kind of a cliffhanger ending.
Naughty List
Sunny is a pediatric oncology nurse asking a couple favors from her ex and father of her daughter, Ice—play Santa for the kids in her ward and give her some protection from a distraught father making threats. I love how this story talks so much about the past and relationships in such a short story.
Stoney’s Gift
Stoney and Rachel’s marriage is in a bad place and not getting better, some of it due to her self esteem issues, some of it due to Stoney being Stoney instead of a husband and father. Very sad to see but becomes very sweet too., more so after tragedy hits. Told from both points of view, which gives a lot of important insight.
Want Me, Santa
Michael gets the wrong gift from his boss Gray and it leads to things he never expected between them. Gray is not a nice guy and very hard to please workwise, but Michael wants to be a partner in the firm. After the gift mixup, all Gray wants is Michael. They both have bruised hearts and I want more of their story.
Unwrapping Mine
Maze has the product of a fun weekend dropped on him just as he is starting to think about wanting more than random hookups. He knows he has wanted Zarah all along, but she is for keeping, not just playing. Nice MC family for backup in his new life and winning Z for keeps is a top priority.
Santa’s Little Girl
More than age play Daddy/Little story. Erika has no experience in this area, but Patrick does and he has found the one he wants to keep in his elf assistant when he plays Santa. This isn’t really a trope I love, but I enjoyed the story.
Santa’s Surprise
Police officer Alex finds out he has a three year old daughter from a one night stand with nurse Aspen. Sweet story. Aspen gets a family, which she never really had, while she and Alex get to explore the chemistry between them. Alex’s family rocks.
Finding Love at Christmas
Melanie finally finds out her crush likes her back, but she also has a stalker she didin’t know about. Short and sweet story with just a little kissing.
Secret Santa
This story was rough. Our hero Dash broke his love Noelle’s heart and the holidays for her three years ago by breaking off their relationship on Christmas with no real reason when she was expecting a proposal. Now Noelle is a bit of a Grinch. Dash had his reasons, but now he is back to win Noelle and fix Christmas. I love how he goes about it by giving her things she loves while showing how well he knows her.
A Christmas Miracle
All Corey’s family wants for Christmas is to have him home after he is captured and taken as a POW. Finally Santa gets to fulfill that wish. This was such a bittersweet story. I tested up a little.
Mistletoe Kisses
Faith has had a crush on Jack since high school, not knowing he has had one on her too. Jack is a manwhore that has never had a relationship, but would like to try if Faith will give him a chance. It made me sad to see how Faith reacted to him because of the way he has always been with women, but it is understandable given his history. I though the ending should have had a little more to it.

This is multi author boxset of Christmas stories. I enjoyed most of the stories. It’s a good selection of hot bad set during the holiday season. It's a mix of novellas and short stories. Most of the stories seem to be part of series they already have in the works. I've never read any of these series but enjoyed these stories and the vast majority read well as standalones. The stories range from sweet to very hot and steamy. I’m pretty sure my kindle was smoking on a few of them.
The first two stories, book 1, Under the Mistletoe and book 2, Naughty List are MC stories which I rarely enjoy so I wasn't surprised when I skimmed through them because I wasn't enjoying them. Not a hit on the authors writing skills just as a rule, not a storyline I like. Book 3, Stoney's Gift is an MC story and is tied in to the authors series and I was definitely a bit lost not knowing the characters so I ended up skipping it. If you've read the authors series, you'll be fine. I liked Book 4, Want Me, Santa but I had a hard time liking Gray. The way he treated Michael at times was pretty horrible, understandable after getting some back story but still tough. I really enjoyed Book 5, Unwrapping Mine. It was hot and entertaining. I'll definitely be looking for the other books in the series which is surprising since this is a MC book. Book 6, Santa's Little Girl is an age play story. This was my first age play book and I enjoyed it I may look at more books from this author. Definitely hot. Book 7, Santa Surprise was an enjoyable low drama steamy, romance. Book 8, Finding Love at Christmas is a short and sweet boss/employee romance. Book 9, Secret Santa is a sweet second chance romance. Book 10, A Christmas Miracle is a military romance and one of my favorites in this set. I’m a suckered for a military romance. I’ll definitely be checking out more of the authors books. Book 11 Mistletoe Kisses was hot. Can a player convince the girl he’s changed to a one-woman man?

Under the Mistletoe by K.C. Stone - a fun romance about a woman named Mistletoe who doesn’t celebrate Christmas and the man who may just change her mind and her future. Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox – Pediatric oncology nurse Sunny needs a Santa for the hospital children, will Ice step up and help her? Stoney’s Gift by E.C. Land – Stoney has finally gotten sober, but is too late for a second chance with his wife Rachel? Want Me, Santa by Ashlynn Mills – I tried, but couldn’t like the main character Gray. He wasn’t a nice person in his treatment of Michael. Unwrapping Mine by Amy Daws – Will Maze recognize his feelings for Zarah before it is too late? Santa’s Little Girl – Not interested in the “daddy” relationship storyline. Santa’s Surprise – Really enjoyed this story of Alex, the (adorable) daughter he didn’t know about, her mother Aspen and his supporting family. Finding Love at Christmas – Workmates Melanie & Grant finally act on their attraction. Secret Santa – Can Dasher woo his lady back as her secret Santa? A Christmas Miracle – My favorite in the anthology as Marine Cpt. Corey Foster falls in love with Ruby Rose, deploys and is held captive. Will their son’s Christmas wish to Santa bring his daddy home? Mistletoe Kisses – Jack is a bartender, a player and interested in Faith. Can he convince Faith, who is not interested in a one-night stand, that he wants more than one night? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the authors.

A great mixture some I loved, some not so much but that is because of my reading choice. What is great about this is if there is one you can’t get into, you just move on to the next. Two that stand out to me were:
Santa Surprise by Evan Grace. Alex, who was a police officer, and had a Great Dane, Tiny, ended up drawing the short straw meaning he had to play Santa at the Tiny Tots holiday party. Aspen, has a three year old daughter, Dakota who is just the sweetest thing. Aspen had spent one night with Dakota’s father, not knowing his name and left before he woke up not knowing she had a surprise coming. She was raising her on her own since she had no idea his name or where he was from. Turns out Alex is Santa and Dakota is no doubt his daughter as she looks exactly like his sister. Beautiful story
A Christmas Miracle by Jen Talty. Another great story about Captain Corey Foster, a US Marine who met Ruby Rose when he was home on leave. They had an instant attraction, fell in love, became engaged, and she is soon to have his baby. He is retiring from the military but has one more tour for six weeks. He ends up missing in action and after three years she still can’t move on with the feeling he is still alive. She had a son who she talks about his daddy to him all the time. His buddies at the Aegis Network where he was to go to work after getting out of the military never gave up hope of finding him. Did they finally get the lead they needed and would he still be alive in the prison he was in. Heart warming ending.

I absolutely loved reading this box set of Christmas stories.
Each book was well written and grabbed my attention from
the beginning.
Under The Mistletoe by K.C. Stone is about Ranger and Missy.
Ranger is a member of the Lawless MC. His actual name is Torren.
Mistletoe 'Missy' Jones is the architect working on the new addition to the compound.
The chemistry between them is steamy. They spend one night together.
To find out what happens, you need to read this story. It sort of ends on a cliffy.
Ranger and Missy's story continues in an upcoming book.
Naughty List is about Sunny and Ice. They are Octavia's parents but aren't married.
Sunny is a nurse on the oncology floor for kids.
Ice was the President of the Raiders MC but now his son, Breaker has the job now.
Sunny needs Ice to play Santa for the kids at the hospital.
Ice and Sunny's chemistry is steamy.
Their story has more to come later.
Stoney's Gift is part of the Devil's Riot MC Originals series.
This one features Stoney and Rachel.
The story is very well written and had me sucked in from page one.
Some things have happened and Rachel feels that Stoney is
pulling away from her. Raven gives him some advice to
take a little trip just the two of them to reconnect.
To find out what happens read this story.
The others stories are great reads too.
I would recommend this book to others.

Under The Mistletoe by K.C. Stone: This story about Missy and Ranger was absolutely the cutest Christmas story I've read in a while. The ending of their short story was to funny I didn't see that coming. Haha. I still get a good laugh over it. I can’t wait for their full book to release so I can find out what happens next.
Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox: This short story about Sunny and Ice is my top favorite so far of Elizabeth's books. I cant wait to read the full story when it comes out. Can't wait to find out what happens with Ice and Sunny!!!
Stoney's Gift by E.C. Land: This short story about Stoney and Rachel was absolutely great to see them connect with one another again. These to have been through so much that it put some issues between them that they needed to work on and the way E.C. Land went about this short story was absolutely great. She did a great job on their short story and I cant wait to continue the Devil's Roit MC: Originals series to keep hearing about these two and watch them continue to grow together.
Want Me, Santa by Ashlynn Mills: This short story about Gray and Michael was a really good M/M story. Definitely want more to their story.
Unwrapping Mine by Amy Davies: This short story about Maze and Zarah. Now this story was absolutely great, funny, heart warming and all the feels. Amy Davies did an amazing job on Maze and Zarah's story!!
Every last one of these stories were amazing! I even found new authors to read in this collection.
Under The Mistletoe by K.C. Stone: This story about Missy and Ranger was absolutely the cutest Christmas story I've read in a while. The ending of their short story was to funny I didn't see that coming. Haha. I still get a good laugh over it. I can’t wait for their full book to release so I can find out what happens next.
Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox: This short story about Sunny and Ice is my top favorite so far of Elizabeth's books. I cant wait to read the full story when it comes out. Can't wait to find out what happens with Ice and Sunny!!!
Stoney's Gift by E.C. Land: This short story about Stoney and Rachel was absolutely great to see them connect with one another again. These to have been through so much that it put some issues between them that they needed to work on and the way E.C. Land went about this short story was absolutely great. She did a great job on their short story and I cant wait to continue the Devil's Roit MC: Originals series to keep hearing about these two and watch them continue to grow together.

Merry Christmas, to me!
Twice a year I troll thru social media and online ebook sellers looking for all the lovely anthologies. Halloween and Christmas. I absolutely adore finding books that have stories by authors I’m familiar with, that I already follow and authors new to me. And Santa’s Naughty Helpers was a score!
I’m not reluctant to state there’s one name in this line up that made my finger hit that download button fast, but I’d feel like a jerk if I named names.
This anthology contains something for everyone, I think. And for this price to page count, well worth the investment. Now to be absolutely honest, I’m not a big fan of sneak-peak like stories, with more to come in the to be released book, but this anthology did exactly what I wanted -I was entertained, I found some new (to me) writers, was able to read between life and I had a very pleasant reading experience.
Wonderful!

This is a wonderful anthology which is stories from a talented selection of authors. Some of these tales are novellas, some are short stories, and add in bonus content, and this is the perfect collection of tales for the holiday season. The authors are as follows: -
BY ELIZABETH KNOX, K.C. STONE, KIM LUBBERS, E.C. LAND, AMY DAVIES, PEPPER NORTH, EVAN GRACE. KRISTA AIMES
Naughty List by Elizabeth Knox
This is Ice and Sunnys’ journey, and their story is about more mature characters who have a 2nd chance at love. This story is exciting, intriguing, and a poignant love story.
Stoney’s Gift by E.C. Land
This is Stoney and Rachel’s story, and is from the Devils Riot MC originals. This story gives a better understanding of what this couple need to overcome to be together. Can they overcome their insecurities and be a couple?
This collection of stories is sweet, emotional, humorous, entertaining, and a steamy read. I recommend this anthology for all readers.
