This is 3 stories in 1 book. I have only read Anne Stuart's and started on the next one. But, I have to say that I LOVE Anne Stuart's short story about a good Cop fighting dirty cops, of course, he gets tangled with a doctor with whom he has intense chemistry with. I love Anne Stuart books, and her writing NEVER FAILS to make me drop everything else and keep reading. A lot of other books go way too slow, but her books always move quickly and there's always humor. This one has a Christmas theme and the hero is a good 'hot bad boy'. :) Glad I found this.

"Claus and Effect" by Anne Stuart. Boston police officer James Fitzpatrick is stunned when he is suspected of a homicide and a jewel theft. When he heard rumors that Dr. Ellie Pollard possesses information that will prove his innocence, dressed as Santa he abducts her.

"Caught at Christmas" by Tina Leonard. Librarian Jean Norville comes to the Southfork Texas Wedding Chapel to serve as the maid of honor at her best friend's marriage. Just prior to the wedding, shots are fired. The bride's brother former Texas Ranger Sam Broadbent tries to keep Jean safe.

"Candy Canes and Crossfire" by Marion Lennox. Sam's sister attorney Molly finds her ceremony to Tommy O'Bannon disrupted by gunfire. Molly finds refuge with Joe Cartland and his three preadolescent orphaned children of his late sister.

These are three well written interrelated exciting holiday romantic suspense thrillers that readers will relish.

Loved the story by Anne Stuart (Clause and Effect) as it was funny, romantic and fast-moving.
Tina Leonard's story Caught at Chrismas was sweet, but less entertaining.
Lennox's story was to slow to get into.
Interesting is that all stories have the same background; a diamontrelated crime. The stories interlace, and characters sometimes make there return in the other stories.
