My Thoughts:

If you are a fan of holidays and anthologies, I think you will enjoy this one.  The book is filled with short story romances that takes place in various holiday situations.  As with a lot of short story anthologies, this was kind of a mixed bag for me.  I liked some and I didn't like some.  My favorites were "Christmas Peril, Christmas Promise" by Maggie FitzRoy and Stolen Christmas by Leah Miles.  I have included a snippet of the first one below.  I would recommend giving this one a try.

Enjoy this snippet:

Maggie FitzRoy - Christmas Peril, Christmas Promise

     Piper stood at the edge of frozen Lyons Lake, admiring it, and its surrounding beauty. The lake’s sun-kissed surface sparkled, as if sprinkled with diamonds. The evergreens along the shore rose majestically toward the sky, their branches draped in snow. Long shadows cast by birch trees wove intricate patterns across the ice.     
     Ahead, Rob captured the scene. Then pointed his big camera her way.
     Click.
     She laughed. “You just took a picture of me.”
     He twitched his lips in a guilty smile and fiddled with the camera’s long lens. “Just one,” he said, his voice soft and teasing. “Something to remember you by, Piper.”
     In the frigid air, Piper went hot. She’d only known this man a few days, but it felt like forever.
