Several authors team together in a Christmas collection, offering sizzling romance stories for the season. Eight holiday romances are packed into one volume, the first of which is “Santa Baby”, where we meet Brooke. Pregnant from a one-night stand and due to deliver near Christmas, she is not expecting much from her baby's father. Will a Christmas delivery bring the new mother and father closer together? 

In “Second Chances”, Grace Sellers moves back to her old hometown along with her two children, in an effort to build a new life for herself. There, she meets her old high school crush, and the two decide to find out if they have a second chance after all. 

"T'was the Crazy Night Before Christmas" is a romantic-suspense adventure featuring Clara and Drew, strangers thrown together into a mix of desire and danger.

"Kissing Santa" is the naughty tale of Anna Noel's holiday bucket list, where her dreams of Mr. Klaus don't stop at kissing.

In "The Snow Bird", single-mom Lauren finds herself with a leaky roof about to ruin her children's Christmas until a wealthy property developer shows up in town and makes her an offer she can't refuse.

“Operation Santa” is a rather hilarious, but still romantic story about a husband trying to get his wife back after she left him, by sending her gifts that could backfire in embarrassing ways. 

In “Tamed by Christmas”, two old lovers meet each other again and try to rekindle their love at Christmas. 

Finally, in "Christmas Eve Surprise" Steve is hoping the Christmas spirit will help him reconcile with Amy.  She's not quite sure - but for the sakes of the babies she is carrying should she try?  

Overall, it’s an interesting holiday collection.  While there is nothing really new here in terms of storyline, but these authors share a smooth and polished style and each story is full of wit, charm and - most of all - romance.
