This anthology has stories written by Lori Foster, Gemma Bruce and Janice Maynard. I found this book to be entertaining, all three stories a great read and unique in their own way, but never forgetting the Christmas spirit.
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR by Lori Foster - We finally get the long awaited story of Marci Churchill, who is the twin sister of Bethany from Luscious in the Bad Boys of Summer. She is a pet psychic having the ability to converse with animals. Osbourne (Ozzie) Decker is a member of the SWAT team and thinks that Marci is hot but also she does things not based on reality. The chemistry between them is hot enough to start flash fires and the sexual lure is strong. Osbourne infuriates Marci in one way with his beliefs but also makes her frenzied with need and she figures he uses sarcasm and negativity to hide his true feelings from her. Osbourne has had a bad experience with a woman in the past and now keeps everyone at bay, the mention of the "M" word strikes terror in his heart. Even though Marci has kept her gift a secret from most people, lived with ridicule and disbelief all her life, she is always the optimistic one. Where as Osbourne is a pessimist who has had a hard time to adjust to his grandmother's death feelings which he has never divulged to anyone. Being around Marci with her openness and trust towards him, and seeing her interact with his dog soon has him rethinking his beliefs. Lori has penned an witty, fun read with just the right amount of tensions and steamy parts to make you want to keep turning the pages to the end......Oh how the mighty can fall........
BAH HUMBUG, BABY by Gemma Bruce - Allison Newberry is executive for Newberry Advertising while Lee Simonson is a photographer of Pulitzer Prize winning photos. Both are getting away to a ski chalet for the Christmas holidays, but unbeknown to them they have been set up by their respective meddling siblings. Allison and Lee had bad break-up the previous year, and although they are soul mates, and love one another, they just cannot commit. Sexual satisfaction had never been a problem for them, but it seemed in the long run that is all they had. Being snowed in and unable to run from each other they have no alternative but to share the chalet situated in a quaint little town. There are surprising turns of events that show them what is really important in life. But be prepared to have ice around when you read this story as they scorch the pages. This is a hot, steamy read that will have surprises in store for you.
BY FIRELIGHT by Janice Maynard - Grant Monroe and his dog Van Gogh were secluded in his cabin on a mountain during a blizzard. When a noise was heard at the door, thinking it might be an animal Grant was surprised when a snow covered, half frozen body fell through the door at his feet. Madison (Maddie) Tierney thought she was going to die out there in the blizzard, but she had kept going toward the light until she had arrived at the cabin. The sexual tension is evident from the time Maddie becomes aware of her rescuer. The heat that flairs up between them keeps getting in the way of Grant's best intentions. But he does the gentlemanly thing and tries not to take advantage of her. She finds men are so judgemental, while he finds women to be overly impulsive with no regard to their well being. Maddie as an writer and can always make her characters do as she wants, but Grant is an frustrating, infuriating person who does not react the way she would like. How these two sort through everything is an adventure of its own and gives the reader an entertaining, enjoyable, hot read.
All three writers have penned hot reads, and I recommend this anthology.

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR by LORI FOSTER
When Osbourne "Ozzie" Decker is asked by his friend and fellow SWAT officer, Lucius Ryder, to keep an eye on Marci Churchill, twin sister of Lucius's new wife, Bethany, he hesitates. His hesitation stems from the uncontrollable desire he has for her. Marci turns him inside out with just a look, who knows what spending several days in close contact with her will do to him. Someone seems to be following Marci, and Lucius and Bethany won't leave her alone to go on their honeymoon unless she is protected. Osbourne keeps Marci close by his side, and when it turns out that she is equally attracted to him, even the cold temps outside can't cool them off. Marci's ability to "hear" animals is a blessing and a curse. There is always someone who wants to talk to her or interview her; she just wants to be left alone. Osbourne always thought that Marci, despite being totally hot, was a bit of a kook, but once he witnesses first-hand her very special gift, he finds himself falling in love with her. Osbourne and Marci are a perfectly sweet couple. Both are written to be caring and tender, typical of Lori Foster, who is incredibly talented at writing characters that feel like someone you know and love, comfortably common and just a little bit flawed.
BAH HUMBUG, BABY by GEMMA BRUCE
Allison Newberry excitedly takes her sister up on her offer of the use of a mountain chalet in the Colorado Rockies town of Good Cheer for the holidays; she can't wait to spend some down time, all alone. No family, no work, no pressure, just her and maybe a ski hunk or two. Her plan is looking good until old flame Lee Simonson shows up at her door, when it suddenly becomes obvious that they have been duped into spending the week together by their meddlesome families. This is topped off by a huge snowstorm that has them completely snowed in. Despite a rocky start, these two take up where their relationship ended a year prior, but in the back of Allison's mind is Lee's dangerous job; how he could take off on a photo shoot to some drug-infested part of the world, not knowing if he would make it back. When the two walk into town a couple of days later and meet some very quirky townsfolk, reminiscent of days, no, make that years, gone by, they are filled with a loving warmth that comes with a sense of belonging. After they return to California, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in the town of Good Cheer. This is my first read by Gemma Bruce, but it certainly won't be my last. Allison and Grant are sensual, fun and well-written.
BY FIRELIGHT by JANICE MAYNARD
Madison Tierney finds herself stranded in the woods in the middle of a raging snowstorm. Sure, she wanted to avoid going home and needed some time away, but this is just too much. She sees a light in the woods and follows it, exhausting herself fighting the wind and blowing snow, and collapsing in a heap when she finally reaches the doorstep. When Grant Monroe finds a beautiful woman on the ground at his door, the first thing he does is make sure she's ok and begin to warm her up. After that he has to fight the strongest attraction he's ever had for a woman. He finds himself wanting Madison so badly that he can hardly stand it, but insists on getting to know her before acting on the attraction. Once these two finally do get together, they practically combust, but as the storm lets up and they return to civilization, Madison's attitude cools considerably, confusing Grant, who realizes that he has fallen madly in love with her. Janice Maynard never fails to write characters that are passionate, caring, and always respectful, and Madison and Grant are no exception.
This is a fun anthology by three very strong voices in women's fiction, you won't want to miss it.

Who doesn't love a good sexy holiday story?
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR by Lori Foster
When Sgt. Ozzie Decker reluctantly agrees to watch over quirky animal psychic Marci Churchill, he's concerned about more than her belief that she can "talk" with animals; he's also worried about keeping his desire for her under control. These two couldn't be more opposite: Marci is exuberant about life, while Ozzie is more negative, due to some bad experiences. The sexual tension between these two, along with a stolen donkey thrown in the mix make for a funny, sexy story. The chemistry between these two is instant, and eventually smolders the pages!
I loved Marci when she appeared in Luscious' story in BAD BOYS of SUMMER, and was so excited when Ms Foster promised us Marci's story in this anthology. This story is everything Lori Foster fans have grown to expect from her: witty dialogue, loveable characters, and steamy satisfying romance.
BAH HUMBUG, BABY by Gemma Bruce
Allison couldn't wait to get away for the Christmas Holidays, until she learns she'll be spending time with her sexy ex, Lee Simonson. Thanks to their interfering families, the two of them are snowed in at the ski lodge, and neither is too happy about it. It doesn't take long for the old sexual sparks to flare up, though, and things heat up at the lodge quickly! This is a romantic, sensual read for the holidays.
This was the first story I've read from Gemma Bruce, but I'm definitely anxious to read more!
BY FIRELIGHT by Janice Maynard
When a half-frozen Madison Tierney winds up on the doorstep of Grant Monroe's cabin, he doesn't expect the instant attraction he feels for her. Grant wants to take things slow and get to know Madison, but the sexual heat between the two of them is intense. When these two come together, things get HOT! Janice Maynard always delivers wonderful sensual stories, and this one is no exception.
All three stories are wonderful, sexy, and romantic. DON'T miss this one...it'll get you in the mood for some holiday snuggling for sure!
