The Night Before Christmas

Very Disappointing

I have been looking forward to this new book by some of my favorite authors. All the stories are reprints and were originally published in 2005. Don't bother with this book. All thats new is the cover.

Great Stories to Warm You Up!

In 'White Knight Christmas' by Lori Foster, Detective Parker Ross is jaded from seeing too much of the ugly side of life. He's fed up with Christmas and all that comes with it. He sees the holidays as lavish, loud, and depressing. His answer? Time off from work, a cold beer, and a football game on the tube. What does he get? An entirely too joyful Lily Donaldson. Lily is the proverbial forbidden fruit as far as Parker can see. Initially, he steers clear because he misconstrues her for a woman of the night. When he learns he has her pegged all wrong, Parker has to work extra hard to keep his libido in check and her out of his life. Her perky, upbeat attitude grates on his last nerve, so why then does he find her so blasted appealing? Parker realizes pretty quickly that Lily is a determined woman. She's smart, sweet and tenacious as Hollywood when she sees something she wants. And she wants Parker. He's a rough and tough detective who's seen too much of the gray dismal side of life. But between Lily's 'come and get me' attitude and her smiles that can melt a man's heart at fifty paces, Parker simply doesn't stand a snowball's chance. When the big guy finally caves, it's sweet and steamy all at the same time. Well, it is a Lori Foster story, what else did you expect from the queen of romance? This story is the best way to start a Christmas anthology!______________________________~In 'Snowed Under' by Erin McCarthy, Claire Robbins is not having a very merry evening. After finding just the right gifts for her brother and his new wife, she gets bombed with snow by a passing snowplow, soaking her from head to toe in one cruel instant. Needing to get off the frozen street and out of her very wet clothes, Claire heads straight to her brother's apartment which is only a few blocks away. Of course her brother and his new bride aren't home, but someone else is. As she stumbles and shivers her way into the welcoming warmth she comes face to face with her secret crush, Justin Fairbanks. Claire sees this as the opportunity she's been waiting for. Justin sees it as yet one more torturous moment where he can look but not touch. Claire, being Claire, lets him know that what she wants for Christmas can't be bought in a store. Justin tries to resist, really he does, but who can resist a sopping wet, red nosed, shivering blonde Claire? He's not a saint after all. Mmm, a sinful desire finally quenched how delicious is that!_______________________________~In 'Ms. Humbug' by Jill Shalvis there's Cami Bennett, a woman who's life is a well ordered machine. There is a place for everything and everything is definitely in it's place. Except for her boss, councilman Matt Tarino. He was the one thing that never failed to make her heart race even while he's annoying her to no end. She's worked hard to become the woman she is today. As an overweight youngster, life hadn't been terribly kind to Cami. But, she's come a long way, lost a lot of weight, and now she is just as good as the next girl. But, then why do men still find it so easy to ignore her? Matt, on the other hand, seems determined to have her. At first she can't understand his attraction, later Cami decides that Matt is just too damned sexy to ignore. For once, she's tossing caution to the wind and just living in the moment. As a result Cami gets way more than she bargained for Yum!_______________________________~In 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' by Kathy Love, Rob Marsten has the life he's always wanted. Money, success, respect. But when a snowstorm and a cancelled flight lands him in the arms of the woman he let slip out of his life years earlier, he starts to finally understand that happiness is not something you can neatly schedule in. Knowing how badly he's screwed up with Erica, Rob, is wildly excited to be given a second chance with the only woman he has ever loved. But, can she find it in her heart to forgive him, or will she be the one to walk away from him this time? Can the spirit of C
