"Hitched for the Holidays" by Jennifer Drew. Mindy Ryder needs a beau rather quickly because her father is coming from Pittsburgh to spend the holidays with her and her doctor boyfriend. If her dad learns that Mindy is not even dating anyone he will make her his project. Her Corgi's vet Eric Kincaid commiserates with her because his mother is always scheming to get him married and agrees to masquerade as her boyfriend human doctor. His mother gets wind of Mindy and with her father places pressure on the two of them to marry even as they begin to fall in love with one another. Though interfering parents and pretend dating has been often used as plot devices, Jennifer Drew draws an amusing romantic romp.

"A Groom in Her Stocking" by Barbara Dunlop. Lindsey Parker becomes the first person in fifteen years in the Vancouver office to achieve Gold Merit Certification. However, as her professional career attains stratospheric status and potential partnership, her personal life is lower than Death Valley having not dated in what seems forever. She goes away for the holidays only to have Aunt Camellia, known for her accurate forecasting, predict Lindsey will become engaged to Bobby. However, though she goes through a wedding rehearsal with Bobby the bartender, she loves pilot RJ Webster, who believes he is not good enough for her. The secondary characters seem to come out of Northern Exposure as they turn an implausible tale into a humorous romp.

Both tales provide romantic comedy as Ms. Drew and Ms Dunlop deliver delightfully delicious Christmas cheer.
