I don't know what the other reviewer meant by "highly inappropriate" I found nothing out if the ordinary in them - the same sexual content you would find in any romance novel and way milder than you would find on tv. They were predictable, but really what romance isn't. They are short and cute - perfect for spending a lazy Sunday (an hour or so) in front of the fireplace while my husband watched football.

Why is this happening? This was Jolly’s last chance to save her grandparents home. Sure, turning it into an inn was a terrific idea but the idea wouldn’t be worth dirt if they didn’t get some paying customers. Now, now, there’s a dead guy in under the Christmas tree and her ex is knocking of the door! How on earth is Holly going to get rid of them before her last chance of making this inn work arrives?
Review: Oh, so much fun! I couldn’t put it down.

Seduced by the Season
Undercover for Christmas. By choice. Yep. This is the life. Tracking down a major drug lord though said lord’s Achilles heel – his antiquities dealer. Except cramming for this mission isn’t much fun- until Clint meets the gorgeous bartender who also happens to be a historian. This mission may actually shape up to be an exciting one.
Review: It’s been a long time since an author’s description made me put the book down to search out pictures and history of a site. Loved it!

Evidence of Desire, Debra Webb
A new town. A new job. A new crush. A new stalker.
Wait… What? But why?
Review: Enticing but not enthralling. A nice quick mystery.
Steam: Adult
Grade: C
Season of Wonder, Marta Perry
Brittle and desolate, Ally is trying to be everything to her daughter. She has a plan, though, repair and sell the cottage, get Kristie back on her feet, and start a new job.
Until, the handsome neighbor with ties to her heart stops by.
Review: A perfect ending. A sweet ending to this culmination of titles.

A great Christmas anthology. While the stories have your typical sweet holiday connection miracles this set of stories stand out a bit because there is a bit more to these story then just the hearts and flowers. With the bit intrigue, crimes to solve, and a lot of bitterness to overcome this set of stories make a refreshing change from the typical stories. I enjoyed this volume a lot more than I expected.

These are typical Harlequin romances. Very readable, but nothing you'll remember for very long.

A very easy read, went quickly and was enjoyable through and through. I enjoyed the first story the most~ The story was cute and funny without going to far over the top. I thought the last story was whinny and ended very abrutly. The ending really didn't even make sense.
