"Holiday Stud"!! This was fresh, funny, original, and tons of fun to read. the heroine is tired of the pitying looks from her sisters, and the copies of biographies of lesbian celelbrities from her mother. When her underwear model boyfied dumps her right before Christmas, seh goes to a spa to recharge, and there she meets a new friend with a recommendation. Hire George, a "professional companion" who promises a climactic experiece. On the other side of the story, George is double booked for the holiday, and sends his recently out-of-work airforce pal to do the job. once the job is on, though, the reader gets to meet all of Kylee's other crazy, mixed-up characters.

Lisa Plumley's story was a great read also, but Lisa Jackson and Elaine Coffman's stories were re-prints. Kylee's short story was worth the purchase price of the book on its own, but I was disappointed to find that I'd already read 2 of the 4 stories! Buy this book, Kylee and Lisa will make it worth your money, but be warned that it is only half new.

My review title says it all.
"A Baby for Christmas" was contrived, the setup had many reasons for Liam and Annie to dislike each other and the author didn't give us good reasons for them to get together. Also it bugged me that a man who thought that he'd already 'accidentally' fathered a child and a woman who shouldn't get pregnant due to multiple miscarriages would have unprotected sex, doesn't say much for their intelligence.

"Merry Mischief" was ok, but nothing special as two former lovers get their second chance at romance while baby sitting.

"Holiday Stud" was the only story that didn't involve children in someway. It was original, and starts out at the very posh Bacara Resort in my hometown, so that was fun for me.

"Under the Mistletoe" I liked, not because it was a great romance, but because there was tons of character development for the heroine and I had to admire a a single mom with 7 children who still had an upbeat attitude. The hero was not very hero-like throughout the majority of the story and then a bump on the head and one kiss turns him from frog to prince. It was hard to imagine the transition from grumpy picky neighbor to the romantic guy who displays his proposal in Christmas lights and loves the woman enough to take on a household with 10 females.

I bought Santa Baby thinking it was a new release, my bookstore fooled me by displaying it. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you find it a garage sale, and even then I don't know that it is worth your time unless you really love these authors.
