So many wonderful authors and stories in this anthology!
When this anthology was first announced I couldn’t one-click it fast enough. Number one – it’s filled with stories by some of my all-time favorite authors; and number two – the proceeds go to a worthy cause and I love buying charity anthologies.
Although I haven’t had a chance to read every story yet, the ones that I have read are beautiful stories for the season and most brought more than one tear to my eyes.
Here are my comments, listed in the order that the stories appear in the book:
Out for the Holidays by Lane Hayes was the perfect way to reconnect with Derek and Gabe from Out in the Deep, as well as other characters from her Out In College series. This story really tugged on my emotions.
Single Dad Christmas by RJ Scott had me blubbering like a baby in places. It was such an emotional story for me but I can’t exactly say why other than it’s by RJ Scott. 😊 I knew that Austin and Paul would get their HEA but the story just really got to all of my emotions while reading it.
Must Be Santa by Annabeth Albert was a wonderful follow-up to her 2018 Christmas story, Better Not Pout. This story also had tears streaming down my face as I read it. (OK, I’m that kind of emotional reader, I admit it.) The decision to open their hearts and home to a couple of kids in need was perfect for Teddy and Nick.
No Place Like Home by Garrett Leigh was a nice visit with Pete and Ash from her Roads series.
And last, but not least, Dressed in Holiday Style by V.L. Locey was full of her trademark wit and repartee between the two MCs, Jakob and Chet. What starts out as a rivalry of sorts, along with a snowball fight, turns into the beginning of a friendship. I loved the way that V.L. handled Jakob’s medical problem (I don’t want to give it away). I’d love to see this short story, about a new couple, turned into a full-length novella or novel.
If you are a fan of any of the authors included in this anthology, you shouldn’t wait to get your hands on it. I’m looking forward to reading the remaining stories soon.
