Can twelve not so innocent photographs change two men’s lives forever?

Kit and Jasper have been friends for a long time. A photographer, Kit takes the pictures for Jasper’s coffee table books on a variety of subjects. But Kit’s got a secret – he’s been pining for Jasper for longer than he cares to remember. So this year he decides to anonymously send Jasper twelve photographs, sharing his favorite kinks.

Even though they’d been working together quite some time, Kit couldn’t deny his attractions to Jasper any longer. Wanting to test the waters without ruining their friendship or working relationship, Kit sends Jasper a kinky picture for each of the twelve days of Christmas. Will the photos work their magic and give Kit his best Christmas ever?

I really enjoyed this Christmassy and super quick short story. I loved how even though the story was very short we get to see Jasper and Kit first together for a little while as friends and co-workers before the cat gets out of the bag and the two men finally indulge in some seriously smoking hot sex with a bunch of BDSM toys. I thought they had excellent chemistry and it was clear their connection was that of friends as well as lovers – which was really nice to see.

This would be a lovely, fast read for someone who wants a small taste of Christmas or just a happy, easy, spicy read. While I could happily have read a longer story about these two men – and I’d have loved to see a snapshot or vignette of their epic trip to Ireland to experience those pubs! – the short sharp bite of this short story was plenty to give me a happy grin and lift my spirits.

Hot and sexy with just a hint of spice this was a lovely, fast, Christmassy read that I feel should appeal to many readers.

Trevor runs the Puzzle and Games Workshop of the North Pole. Most think him quiet and ordinary, but no one knows about his fierce desire for the sexy owner of the day care center — not even the owner herself. If only he could get up the nerve to go meet her…

Missy, owner of The Little Care day care, harbors the biggest crush on the cute Elf from the Puzzle Workshop across the way. As much as she’d love to march over there and see what happens between them, she won’t, because she knows the results of her magic will be worse than unrequited lust.

When an encounter in a Christmas Maze brings them together, Missy and Trevor discover magic is tangible, mazes aren’t for the shy and awkward, and true love might be found under the mistletoe.

Trevor has been watching Missy from afar for ages. When she stumbles into his maze though, he finally gathers up his courage and starts to open himself up to her. Missy has been equally attracted to Trevor but unsure how to make that first step. With a little nudge and some Christmas magic, can these two start something wonderful?

I enjoyed this fast and fun short story. Santa playing matchmaker always makes me laugh and this lighthearted story was no different. I enjoyed how both Missy and Trevor had been attracted to each other for ages – it helped the pace of the story move much faster. I also enjoyed the fact that Missy’s magic was something completely fresh and new to me – so it was surprising and interesting when it popped up after they managed to complete the maze. I was a little disappointed Missy made a few assumptions about Trevor – with reasons I felt were a little weak at best – and this led to her not reaching out to him at the least to talk and communicate with him. I’d hoped she might be braver and have some faith in Trevor and his attraction to her, particularly since I felt he’d shown her a strong indication of his interest. This really niggled me and lessened my enjoyment of Missy’s character, but I have to admit this helped advance the plot and lent some element of conflict and uncertainty to the whole adventure.

The sex between Trevor and Missy was hot and deliciously explicit. I enjoyed watching them come together and discover the potential for the romance that bloomed between them. I thought the puzzles and mazes were incredibly well thought out and a refreshingly different take on the whole North Pole/Elf thing and have to commend the author on their imagination and creativity.

A short and fun read, this happy Christmas story should appeal to a wide range of readers.

When her car is unexpectedly towed Deputy Kaden Hunter is called out and is astonished at how much Stevie and Mika tug on his heart. Can Kaden help make Mika’s secret wish come true?

I really enjoyed this realistic and heart-warming Christmas story. I found myself really empathizing with Stevie and respecting her strength and determination. Her instinct and determination to do the best by her son – and stand up for herself was really pleasing to read. I was impressed that she didn’t even consider giving an inch to her asshole ex and while her reluctance to take assistance from Kaden was something I could relate to, I was also pleased to find Stevie wasn’t going to let her pride stop herself from accepting his help and genuine offers of assistance – particularly in relation to Mika.

Both Stevie and Kaden each have a past and are wonderfully complicated characters. I enjoyed the pace of this story – which let them both explore and get to know each other at a slower pace, and I thoroughly enjoyed peeling back the layers on each of their histories. Considering both Stevie and Kaden’s situation I was pleased that they didn’t become sexually intimate until right toward the end of the story. Despite the heat level of the story this slowness in the sexual department certainly made a lot more sense to me and fitted better with the story. When they were intimate I found it delightfully written and very steamy and satisfying.

With plenty of Christmas cheer and a whole bunch of reality, this wonderful, warm-hearted and character-driven story was a pleasure to read and one I know I’ll enjoy again in the future.

Not every Christmas present comes wrapped in a bow.

As soon as I noticed the witty dialogue in this story, it made me want to keep reading until I’d finished the last sentence. Noel in particular had some great lines in it, and Emma-Jean was filled with intelligent comebacks as well. I sure wasn’t expecting to laugh when I started reading it, so getting to do that was a nice treat.

I would have liked to see the fantasy and paranormal themes play a bigger role in the plot. It took such a long time for them to show up that I wondered if this tale had been mislabeled at first. They were an important part of the story line in the end, though, and there was so much more room for them to be included in what was happening. It would have been nice if they’d been given that additional time to shine.

Ms. Burke did a wonderful job of describing what was happening in each scene. All of her sentences were stuffed so full of detail that it was easy for me to imagine that I was actually watching everything unfold instead of simply reading about it. I especially liked the way she described her character’s bodies, how they moved, and how they were used. Although her talent with words also extended to her descriptions of the settings the characters lived, worked, and played in, too.

Cuckold’s for Christmas should be read by anyone who loves the holiday season.

Phyllis Green has decided her vibrator is better than men. Or so she thinks, until a little old lady named Agnes appears on a milk carton in Phyllis’s fridge on Valentine’s Eve.

Agnes claims to be Phyllis’s Fairy ghostmother, and she’s going to take Phyllis to Valentines past, present, and future. Will one of the visions turn out to be a keeper?

Nobody should sleep alone on Valentine’s Day.

The premise grabbed my attention immediately. It included so many creative nods to other genres and writing styles that I couldn’t wait to see what the author would come up with next. She really outdid herself with all of her references. Honestly, the blurb didn’t even begin to describe some of the clever things she came up with. This was definitely one of those times when the blurb and the premise underpromised what they had to offer only to astound me with all of the delightful tricks they had up their sleeves.

I loved this book’s sense of humor. There were several scenes that made me chuckle, and many more that pasted a smile on my lips. By far the best scenes were the ones that involved Phyllis’ fairy ghostmother and her raunchy expectations for what Phyllis would do on past, present, and future Valentine’s Days. She was quite funny! I’d sure like to read more about this or any other fairy ghostmother if Ms. Gaines ever decides to write about them again.

All three of the sex scenes in this story were steamy and well written. Phyllis had excellent chemistry with all of her partners. While I immediately knew which one I hoped she’d end up with longterm, it was still a great deal of fun to see her try them all out and see who was most compatible with her. Sex isn’t everything in a relationship, but being compatible in this area sure is important.

I can’t recommend Valentine’s Ghost highly enough!

What does a woman do when her life is focused on building her business to save the legacy left by her grandparents—and then her sister gifts her a box of sex toys for Christmas? She grabs the nearest human being to help her test them out, of course. And if that’s Ewen, bonus!

Kelly O’Connor owns Melbourne’s go-to forensic auditing service. She met Ewen four years ago and no man since has measured up, not even his brother. But Ewen treats her like a problem sister and there’s just no way around that.

Ewen Bridger fell in lust with Kelly when his brother brought her home. Now his brother is dead and Kelly should be out of bounds, but when she needs rescuing, he jumps right in. The bedroom benefits are amazing, but can he move beyond his brother’s memory to find a future with the sexy siren?

Ewen had strong feelings for Kelly but their relationship was beyond complicated. Their two companies shared a lot of business together and Kelly had practically been engaged to Ewen’s brother until the car accident that killed him. Neither Kelly nor Ewen had managed to reach a place where they felt they could even discuss – let alone act on – their feelings. A naughty Christmas gift from Kelly’s sister though has Kelly and Ewen’s seemingly ordered lives turned on its head.

I really enjoyed this steamy and quick Christmassy read. I was pleased that the author spent enough time at the start to really lay out both Ewen and Kelly’s characters, and also show me what their business and personal relationship was like before having them reach the crux point and change over from friends and business contemporaries and flip over into something far more intimate.

Readers who enjoy a healthy amount of plot in their stories should find that this short story really delivers on that aspect. Kelly’s family and Ewen’s grief over the loss of his brother are all tangled up into an interesting and complicated knot that slowly gets unraveled as the story progresses. While a part of me would have enjoyed if the plot had unfolded a little more slowly – I had to re-read a few sections to make certain I’d picked up some of the intricacies and was following along properly – I feel the author did a really good job making the moving parts all join together and work coherently.

Sexy and fun with some good chemistry between Kelly and Ewen, I found this to be a strong and enjoyable story.

Unable to accept his role in the bedroom, no matter how fulfilling it might be, Michael breaks up with Beauregard, only to learn that he can run, but he can’t hide from his own truth… no matter where he is, or how far he runs, Michael isn’t complete unless he’s with the one man who unleashed his inner submissive.

Really rather cute!

I quite liked this, for a short *holiday* story.

Both Michael and Beau have a say, in the first person. Each change occurs as the chapter changes and is clearly headed, so you always know who is talking.

It doesn’t flow very well, though, and I was tempted to dump it at some points. What kept me going was when Michael was in jail and Santa and the elf turned up. Touched on the paranormal, there, and I liked that. I wanted to see how that would all play out.

It was a given that Michael and Beau would end up back together, what I wanted was the HOW it would come about. And whether Michael’s vision would come about.  And it did turn out rather well, I just found it a rather cute read, for a holiday story.

It is, though, the first of three books I can see, and I would like to read them, given the chance. I would also like to read something else by this author, with more pages and more bite.

3 good solid stars.

There is something I enjoy so much about this author’s writing style! Her stories are simple plots but her talent for creating characters that seem so real with such big personalities is what impresses me. This is a good read that shouldn’t be missed. It’s a cute story of two adults that for some reason seem to not want to be open to let the person their in love with know how they feel. I really didn’t understand why but I didn’t focus on the reason why for long, instead I focused on the story at hand.

Single and fashionable Felicia Hawkins is a character that cares a lot for others and doesn’t seem to be able to find love of her own. Felicia is a strong-willed independent woman who deserves love and happiness. Richard Grimes is a caring widower with two small adorable and obedient daughters.

I enjoyed the story. It is a very cute story of two wonderful people who find love and I felt the author told their story so beautifully. It’s a quick read that’s bubbling with humor and a trait by this author of course, lovable characters. It’s spectacularly paced. I was engaged from the first page. I enjoyed the friendship between Felicia and Richard, even though I still wonder why Richard wasn’t open to tell Felicia how he felt. I love Pam, their co-worker’s meddling. Even though she always had a lot of work to do she found time to lay bread crumbs for Felicia and Richard. Her son Clyde is eccentric and even though his role was small his brief parts in the book tickled me.

This story did reach my heart to say life is too short and love can be right beside you. The author did a wonderful job creating such fascinating characters, she is one of my favorite authors that truly is talented in storytelling. Add this book to your reading list when your looking for something quick, humorous and a happy ending.
