Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Zebra's latest holiday anthology is a sexy, eclectic quartet of Christmas novellas that includes both contemporary and historical settings?Irish castles, Nob Hill mansions, lakeside cabins, and country houses?both macho and wounded heroes, a varied assortment of heroines, several wonderful secondary characters like a lifesaving dog, and a couple of plots that make good use of snowstorms. As with many collections, the style, quality, and length of the stories and their relevance to Christmas differ greatly. They are written by well-known authors with their own followings, e.g., Virginia Henley (in her first contemporary novella), Brenda Joyce, Fern Michaels, and Jo Goodman.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun read, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This book was a fun read. For people like me who does not have time to read a whole novel, this book is for you. These romances writers all wrote wonderful short stories. I expecially enjoyed Virginia Henley's story, this is her first contemperory story, and believe me it is as hot and steamy as her full length novels. The rest of the stories was heartwarming, filled with love and the warm Christmas spirit. Although this anthology is good for any time, I heartily recommend that it be read during the Christmas season.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent book to pass some time, September 25, 2006

By	T. L. Smoot "Victorianprincess" (chicago, il) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to say the 1st story by Virginia Henley was nice, but highly improbable. The same could be said for the second story, but I guess that's why it's called fiction. All in all it's a nice way to pass some time.
