About the author
Julie Kenner
161 books1,242 followersJ. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres.
Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, Victorian-era thrillers (coming soon), and paranormal mommy lit.
Her foray into the latter, Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner, has been consistently in development in Hollywood since prior to publication. Most recently, it has been optioned by Warner Brothers Television for development as series on the CW Network with Alloy Entertainment producing.
JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swopn for him.” A three time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy).
Her books have sold well over a million copies and are published in over over twenty countries.
In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.

The first three stories are a group set in a court in New Orleans. They are more of the hot sex limited plot variety but ok if that is what you are looking for.
The next one is similar but not linked to the first three.
The next one was a bit of a struggle for me but a reminder that communication can fix a marriage or the lack of it can break one. There were some questionable consent areas.
The Italian's blackmailed bride was a DNF. I didn't find either of the main characters appealing and there were some non consent areas that are a problem for me.
The Sultan's seduction was also a DNF for consent issues and I was bored.
The stroke of midnight is confusing because it has the prologue and epilogue for the last 3 stories, but the story in the middle is completely unrelated. I think I would have liked it if I didn't keep waiting for the 3 characters in the prologue to appear.
The last 3 stories are linked and probably my favorite of the anthology (and not just because of the shoes...)
Overall, it was a decent christmas anthology but nothing to go crazy trying to find.

Hmmm...some stories were sweet, others were a bit sassy...some of the heroines were "my head says no but my heart says yes" bah humbug. These insecure, milquetoast women aren't interesting enough to wate valuable reading time, so I skipped a few stories and rolled my eyes at others.
