I loved the stories; they were developed well, but I felt a let down by the end of the first story; It didn't really say for sure whether Elijah was free or not; it was just assumed; I would have loved to know how Kenneth felt watching that scene play out in front of his ex wife's house; I would have truly loved to see how the mother and sister felt but hey you can't get it all. The last story was interesting; my thing with this was it just left me hanging. no bow was tied.

In Taking Chances for the Holidays, Three talented authors, Adrianne Byrd, Donna Hill and Monica Jackson treats the readers to three very different stories that stirs, stimulates and makes you laugh. Adrianne Byrd's FINDING THE RIGHT KEY, is Hot and Sexy and should come with a label that says 'CAUTION CONTENTS ARE HOT". Donna Hill's "Out With the Old", adds an office romance that sizzles during the holiday and Monica Jackson's Merry Christmas, Baby completes the book with a sexy romantic/comedy that will have you bursting at the seams. Put the three together and you have the hottest read of the holiday. This one is definitely one to read and read again. For relief, have a cold drink and willing partner close by when you finish.

Taking Chances was a great book. Adrianne Byrd's "Finding the Right Key" was definitely off the hook and not for the faint of heart. We all wished we had a friend like Kimora. That story was the BOMB!! Being a die hard A Byrd fan I knew the story would be all that so I read the book backwards to save the best for last. Donna Hills "Out with the Old" was good also I like how she made reference to the "Pause" series. and Monica Jackson's Merry Xmas was funny I really enjoyed Sharyn's mother's character she was something else. Great Book. I suggest you pick it up.

The triple threat otherwise known as Adrianne Byrd, Donna Hill, and Monica
Jackson have pooled their collective talents into Takin' Chances For The Holidays. The result is a sharp, sexy story of three resourceful heroines looking to find a little holiday spirit! The stories were entertaining and the characters endearing. I would highly recommend this book for a fast paced and fun holiday read!

I am new to reading Ms Byrds books....So far I have read "Measure of a Man", When You Were Mine" and now this book "Takin Chances For The Holidays". I gotta say all three of these books I read in one sitting. They are all GREAT books. I am now a dedicated reader of Ms. Byrd's book. She has a great line up for 2007, I cant WAIT! I better get a jump on the older books because, she has so many other books that I heard are just as good as the ones I have already read. Keep up the excellent work....YOU GO GIRL!

Well Adrianne has done it again, this is a wonderful story. Who would every think of having a key party and what a party. Once you begin reading this story you will not be able to put it down until you have finished reading it. I love all of the characters and I am glad that they all found some happiness for the holiday. I am not made at Birdie. Once you read the book you will know what I am talking about I don't want to give anything away.

This is a must read. I recommend everybody read this book.

Thanks

This book was awesome. I enjoyed all three stories, but my favorite is "Finding the right key". I read it so fast but I couldn't put the book down! I found myself instantly engaged in all the characters of "Finding the right key". And I love the way Ms. Byrd broke down each character. The sex scenes were very sensual. I was excited once I got the book, it took me longer than I expected to finally buy it, but I read it all in one day. All the authors did a great job developing the stories. Even though they were short stories, I didn't feel short changed on the plots. Sometimes when you have anthologies, it's like the story doesn't have time to develop, but that is not the case with this one! I recommend it to anyone! I gave it 5 stars because all three stories were great! But I still have to say my favorite came from Ms. Byrd!!!

Ms. Byrd has done it all again and she has never failed her readers yet. Her story in "Takin Chances for the Holidays" and her charactes Kimora, Coco and Birdie are real. A great read and her true loyal fans and even new ones will not be disappointed.
