Naughty Or Nice

Jingle's Belle by Lani Aames

Jingle has had a tough time at the North Pole. He doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the elves, starting with his name and his size. His real name is Alexander, but he renamed himself Jingle, since he didn't want a human name. He is smaller than the other elves and none of the uniforms fit him correctly. Jingle is asked by Santa to visit Belinda Cooper. Belinda has a problem with her Christmas spirit and Jingle is the elf who will help her with it! Belinda finds herself with an elf who is handsome and handy -- what more can a girl want for Christmas! This was a sweet story about two people who help each other find their place in the world.

Twelve Nights of Christmas by Treva Harte

Marigold Adams, a recent divorcee is stuck up a tree. She thought she saw an exotic bird up there and she was going to save it, but alas, it was only a plastic pink flamingo! Rome Tyler comes along and rescues her but he falls off the ladder! They are stuck together during a snowstorm and it falls on Mari to nurse him back to health. While she is nursing him, he confides to Mari about his problem. Rome is having "performance anxiety" problems and Mari agrees to help him with it. This story simmered with sexual tension.

Santa Claws, a Wyndham Werewolf Story by Mary Janice Davidson

Alex Kilcurt, Laird of Kilcurt Holding is in the United States to pay his respects to the newborn daughter of pack leader, Michael and his wife. He wishes for what Michael has -- a wife and family. He walks down the street in Boston and picks up a whiff of a woman's scent. He has picked up the smell of his woman, his mate. Giselle Smith is dressed as Santa and she is busy ringing her bell for donations. Alex promptly throws a wad of dollars in her kettle and asks her to lunch. This was a great story! If you have read her previous books, Ms. Davidson has a wry sense of humor and it comes through in her writings. I have read all her Wyndham werewolf stories and look forward to the next one!

This was a fun book and an easy read. All three stories were enjoyable. The Christmas holidays were firmly entwined into the three stories. The characters were well developed for such short stories. It is a great book to curl up with on those cold, snowy winter nights!
