The book has to be pretty good when the first line reads ;"When his latest case falls on him and his partner - quite literally- Detective Nick Markov knows the destruction of his car by a not-yet-cold body is the least of his worries." This story will keep you turning the pages to it's conclusion.
On the Nook this eBook has 546 pages.

Well, you certainly get your bang for the buck worth with this one! All together, it's looong (450 pages), even if the stories are short or novellas.


COWBOY JACKPOT: CHRISTMAS - Randi Alexander
Cowboy up. College student/buckle bunny meets rodeo star in Vegas; together they hit the jackpot. Much smexy fun here, although I am REALLY not a fan of insta-love, even if (hero insists) THIS time it's different. Also, there are SO many sex scenes that it seems to avoid repetitiveness, some phrasing is a little awkward - when it says "her insides shifted," for example, I don't think hot, I am hoping she doesn't have an embarrassing accident.

A NAUGHTY NOELLE - Ann Bruce
Cop undercover, in all sense of the word. Set in NY; he saves her from a mugging/rape; later she saves him from an ambush and hides him in a luxury hotel. Short story, includes anal scene without much prep either for the reader or the heroine.

HOLIDAY SURPRISE: UNWRAPPED - Aliyah Burke
Interracial love in cold snowy Boston; she's supposed to be housesitting; he's crashing at her cousin's pad. This girl is REALLY bitchy the first couple of pages, making it hard to want to read on.


CHRISTMAS ANGEL - Opal (Amber) Carew
Magical realism. The Berringers are cursed to find love, only to lose it, and the heirloom angel on the top of the tree is human, but trapped in that for for the last two hundred years. If she can seduce the last Berringer into loving her in 36 hours (or so), she can stay human - but what if SHE falls in love, too? This was emotionally sweet and full of conflict, as well as steamy.

A HIGHLANDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS - Dawn Halliday (Jennifer Haymore)
A sweet Scotland historical kilted up nicely. Two teen friends/sweethearts have been separated for years; her married to a wifebeating jerk, and him sent to serve her brother on other lands. Now they've been brought together again, and can steal a few sweet moments in bed, before she is married off again, to a brute even worse than the first. This is a novella and possibly the longest in this collection, but I savored every minute of it. The conflict feels real, not contrived; loved the references to Hogmanay and the Yule log, and the characters' agony and helplessness felt very real, making the HEA that much tastier.

ILLICIT CHRISTMAS - Yvette Hines
All I Wanna Do Is Run Over, oops, Make Love To You. Interracial After bumping into a strange (but hot-looking) pedestrian, the heroine, who's just moving into this small town, invites him to her hotel room for a ONS. Turns out she's just accepted a position teaching at the same school where HE teaches, too, and he's determined not to let one night be all there is.

HER XMAS PRESENT - Christin Lovell
Plus-sized heroine. Two best friends take it to the next level. Big girls deserve love too, and there are really hot guys who prefer them, in fact, the heroine was SO negative on herself most of the way through it got annoying. And it was a little unbelievable that they would BOTH have secret feelings for each other, and know each other so well, yet NO hint of those feelings ever slipped out?

ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS - Paige Tyler
It's a spanking good time, if you're into a spanking good time. At the holiday Xmas party, the girlfriends share their spanking stories - they've ALL got one, and they all liked it, except for the hostess who's afraid to tell her hubs that THIS is what she wants for Christmas. I know this is fantasy, but IRL, no, not ALL women in a group of 6-7 will have tried AND loved spanking.

I enjoyed this as a collection, and an opportunity to "meet" several authors I hadn't sampled before, but in all honesty, I kept putting the book down and MAKING myself go back to it. It's good, really good in some places, but not great, and several of the stories just didn't hit the spot for me.

Another free nook download.

Whoa...this book was a train wreck from beginning to end. It starts with the 28yo virgin cop heroine getting clipped by the hero and knocked out, then handcuffed to the bed. When she comes to she decides he's the man to give her virginity to. and it just goes downhill from there.

After being shot and nearly dying during his last mission, Jake Duquesne is done with women and his job. Hiding out in his cousin's cabin up in the mountains seems like a good idea, until someone tries to sneak up on him, gun drawn. Jake tackles the intruder and is surprised to find a woman beneath him.

Katarzyna Delaney is 28, a cop, has been jilted three times and she's still a virgin. She regains consciousness handcuffed to a bed with a gorgeous male standing over her. A phone call clears up that the man before her is the cousin of her superior's wife, Ella. Apparently she thought it was a good idea to set the two up. Remembering a conversation Kat had with Ella, she knows that Jake's lifestyle isn't conducive to relationships. Would it be wrong to soothe her broken heart and maybe lose her virginity to this man who is looking at her with need and desire burning in his eyes?

Fourteen days of no strings attached, hot and wild sex is how they decide to spend their "vacation", until someone from Jake's past shows up with the intent to finish him off once and for all. Unfortunately Kat gets caught in the crossfire.

This was my first read by this author, thanks to the free ebook offered by Amazon. Since this was a novella, I expected the hero and heroine to get down to brass tacks pretty quickly – and they certainly did. Ms Bruce sure knows how to write some very steamy scenes and they were surprisingly and thankfully not all the same. I wish this had been a longer story, mainly to develop the h/h further. Also, I never quite figured out what Jake actually did for a living - was he a mercenary? Spec Ops? I would have loved to find out what happened next for them. The suspense aspect of this story wasn't bad either, but I would have also liked more of that. She seems to have quite a few books out, so I will definitely be checking those out. Perhaps some of them will be full length novels that I can get lost in.
