I read all but one of the stories in this anthology. None were amazing, a couple were disappointing, but most were just cozy quick reads.

A variety of charming stories; each a fun read.

There were even a few Idiots-to-Lovers stories, which is a personal fave. Gotta love when you want to reach into a book and slap some sense into the characters. 😆

A perfect seasonal read for a damn good cause. Win/win.

Loved this so much! So many cute stories, I have definitely discovered some new authors.
I have to knock half a star off for "whittle me, lumberjack" though, it took years off my life 🤣

This was the perfect anthology to read before Christmas! I absolutely LOVE the snowed in and forced proximity tropes. Add in some Christmas vibes, spicy spice and HEAs....it was perfect! I got to see more some of my favorites and also read new to me authors who are now on my tbr! Loved it!
