Sexy, spirited holiday stories!,
By Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Cards from the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
In Return to Sender by Lisa Cache, Tessa finds herself hosting her roommate's handsome Scottish cousin, who is standed in Seattle during the Christmas season. Tessa is recovering from a recently failed relationship and is understandably guarded against Ian's charms. She has been warned by her roommate of Ian's love-them-and-leave-them playboy reputation. Ian has likewise been warned not to mess with Tessa's vulnerable feelings. The pair take the reader on a delightfully fun tour of Seattle, one of the highlights of this story! As they fall into an easy companionship and friendship, they are also falling in love. Since Ian is returning to Scotland in a matter of days and their relationship doesn't have a future, they are each torn about pursuing it further. When they throw caution to the wind and decide to become romantically involved, the story steams up and becomes highly erotic and hotly sexy! How will they bear the pain when Ian must leave??? In The Single Girl's Guide to Christmas by Jennifer Ashley, Angel is about a highly-acclaimed journalist who gives self-help advice meant to empower single women. After being humiliated on national television by a mean-spirited talk-show host, Angel returns to California to spend Christmas in the bosom of her large, supportive but quite overbearing, family. When a stranded motorist rings the family's doorbell asking for help, Angel is surprised to be staring into the face of the handsome vintner she shared a thoroughly satisfying romance and friendship with 5 years earlier. She often wondered if she made a huge mistake pushing Sean away when when she headed to New York to pursue her career dreams, especially considering that she hasn't connected in the same way with any other man since. Sean has no Christmas plans so Angel's family invites him to join their celebration, not knowing of the past he and Angel shared. Now, as Angel and Sean rediscover each other and re-evaulate their choices, Angel faces some heavy competition for Sean's affections from her sexually aggressive cousin Cerise. This homecoming, and facing her past, teaches Angel priceless lessons about men, love, family support and what's truly important in life. In O Little Town of Kettlebean by Naomi Neale, Broadway stage manager Riley and wardrobe manager Angel, have traveled to upstate New York to bring back has-been Broadway actor from his drunken escapade in time for the show's opening on December 26. Their van breaks down in the rural town of Kettlebean, and the mechanic Hector and his son Leo slow down their efforts to fix it in the hopes that the trio will put a professional spin on their town's Christmas pageant. Not happy with the delay, Riley adopts a humbug attitude, but the attractive Leo finds a way to soften her heart. I sort of plodded through this story - while full of Christmas spirit, it was neither as interesting nor as funny as the previous two fast-paced and very sexy ones.

Edgy, funny,
By Signe Friedrichs "cygnet 5" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Cards from the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
One of the most evenly well-written holiday romance anthologies ever! Lisa Cach, Jennifer Ashley and Naomi Neale are sly, sneaky and silly writers; Neale's hilarious Christmas pageant, Cach's Pike's Market fish experience and the evil christmas elves that plague Jennifer Ashley's characters make this a collection for the deranged yet sentimental romance fan.

Christmas Cards from the Edge,
By Steph B. "chicprincesspetite" (NY | NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Cards from the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
RETURN TO SENDER by Lisa Cache was my favorite. In this cute story, the main character Tessa offers to be a host to her roommate's handsome cousin, Ian, who is in town by way of Scotland for the holidays. Tessa is still a bit on the downside after her breakup up with her ex and Ian - who is a bit of a playboy - is told very clearly not to make any moves on poor Tessa... Eventually the pair get to know each other better and the sparks begin to fly! The problem comes when Ian has to fly back home and Tessa is afraid she'll have to endure another heartbreak.
Angel is the funny and loveable character in THE SINGLE GIRL'S GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS by Jennifer Ashley. When Angel decides to visit her very big family in California for Christmas, she encounters Sean, her long lost love who she's never forgotten. Because of the horrible weather, Angel's family invites Sean to stay with them. It's during this time that Angel and Sean come to realize that the feelings are still there. Finally, in O LITTLE TOWN OF KETTLEBEAN by Naomi Neale, Riley, a stage manager for Broadway and her colleague and good friend travel from Manhattan to upstate NY to bring one of their drunken actor's back to where he belongs. All hell breaks loose when their van breaks down in the middle of a very small and rural town by the name of Kettlebean. The town's mechanic and his son volunteer to fix the broken vehicle with hidden intentions... They purposely delay the job so that Riley and her crew can help their town with their annual Christmas Pageant. The whole situation brings to Riley the meaning of Christmas as well as a chance at true love. Overall the book was just average. The first two stories held my attention whereas the final one had me bored out of my mind!
