sweet like icing
Yes I did work on that pun for a while. Thank you for noticing. These stories were incredible. All short glances into these worlds where all it takes for love to bloom is a little forced proximity. And maybe one bed. Great writing. Great characters. Loved every page.

I loved this collection of the one-bed trope. It was entertaining to see a group of stories vary widely in character types and premises. My favorites in the anthology are Christmas Pipe Dreams and Mistle Foe. Both have steamy chemistry between their leads and amazing settings.
Christmas Pipe Dreams by Lark Taylor is a highly entertaining story where miscommunication is the key component. This story features a plumber who answers the call for a plumbing emergency and finds his shy barista who he has been crushing on for over a year in desperate need of help. Misunderstandings and steamy moments ensue as a winter storm approaches. This is such an adorable story due to the funny characters, fantastic setting, and lovely Christmas vibe.
My next favorite story is Mistle Foe by Cora Rose. This is a highly entertaining story of opposites attract as the shy, uptight best friend's brother realizes he harbors feelings for the tatted family friend who may also share similar feelings. They are forced to share a hotel room and of course, steamy moments ensue, creating a fantastic dynamic between two very surprised guys who cannot get enough of one another.
Overall this is a highly entertaining anthology that has the perfect balance of heat and characters. I loved all of the stories and wish they were longer.

Anthology Read of one of my fave tropes
I enjoyed all the stories in different ways. Each and everyone of them was different even when they all started with the same trope.
I've just finished and read novellas July authors I know and read and authors I've heard of but not read.
I don't believe in reviewing each story as this makes those who maybe weren't as loved by me stand out and everyone reads differently so this review is an overall review for all the stories.

A set of short stories all based around Christmas and the trope of being Snowed In. I'm too lazy to individually review them but honestly, I did like them all. They were all sweet and fluffy and some of them smutty.
With the length of a short story, each one was pretty well paced. I liked the take on the prompts from each of the authors. I'm definitely interested in checking out more of these authors works and see how they translate to a longer format!
