Book Synopsis
Becca Huntley’s produced the Lyndale Park Player’s over-the-top Christmas pageant for ten years. The beloved Minneapolis tradition is the theatre’s main fundraiser. But this year’s production is almost canceled when their director disappears into rehab at the last minute. Good thing his directing partner steps in to save the day. Except for the minor fact that he hates everything about Christmas. Jack Whittaker wiped the Twin Cities off his shoe with his graduation tassel and never looked back. But duty compels him to fulfill Tyler’s promise to direct the show. Even though it means working side-by-side with Becca, the girl he always wanted, lost to Ty, but never forgot. It’ll take more than a few handfuls of tinsel to soften Jack’s heart toward Becca’s favorite holiday. Steamy kisses that melt the snow right off his boots are a step in the right direction. They’ll both discover that Christmas is about making each other's dreams come true. But will doing so destroy their chance at a happily-ever-after together?

Review:
Loved it! Sort and sweet and full of love, with a few steamy scenes. The perfect way to star this little collections. I loved the characters and honestly wanted more. It was nice to see the friendships they had never ended after years of being apart.

Author Info – Brighton Walsh
Brighton Walsh is a storyteller at heart. Whether through words or pictures, she's been weaving tales for as long as she can remember. After decades of cultivating her writing, she finally decided to give life to the voices in her head and set forth to write her first novella. Love is her first love, and writing about it is a dream come true. When she's not overwhelmed by the incessant chatter in her mind, she can generally be found with her nose buried in a steamy book or partaking in some retail therapy.The setting of her life story takes place in the Midwest, characters including her very own real life hero she found in her supportive and swoony husband, and her two energetic kids who (fortunately) know nothing about the naughty things she puts down on paper.

Review:
This short was all about second chances and steamy sex scenes. Short but full of love and drama. Enough to keep the pages turning and you wanting more. I loved the characters and the story line. It was an easy read that had me wanting more.
 
 
 
 

Mine Under the Mistletoe Synopsis
Thanks to a transatlantic house swap, California girl Ashley Turner is finally going to fulfill her lifelong dream of a proper English Christmas.

Game designer Oliver Stansfeld can’t wait to leave dreary London—and all its difficult holiday memories—for sunny San Diego. But a freak ice storm and a grounded plane have forced him back to his already-occupied flat.To make up for the mix-up, the least he can do is show his pretty houseguest where to get the perfect Christmas tree before he leaves.The more time they spend together, the more their attraction grows, and soon Ashley is tempting Oliver to give in to the spirit of the season and snuggle up for the rest of the winter. As the ice melts and flights start taking off again, he must choose between giving in to the past or risking his heart on a chance at love.

Review:
My favorite in this book of shorts! I am dying for more even though this book ended quite nicely. Wonderful characters with lots of background. Each character has a deep and intriguing story of their own. I was fascinated. I would have loved to read more. Very fun to read and who doesn't love a good Christmas Story!
