I love a good themed anthology, and this one had some authors I know I enjoy (E.M. Lindsey and Cora Rose, in particular) and it’s always a good way to check out new authors. As usual not all of them totally stuck with me, quick select thoughts below (and why I didn’t do an overall star rating).

I had already read Halo, also by E.M. Lindsey, and it was fun to see how Adam and Magnus got together. 

Texas Snow by Kelly Fox was a surprise to me that I liked it so much, but I guess the disillusioned cop x felon worked for me. I liked the writing style quite a bit and will look into full length books. 

Christmas Pipe Dream was pure sweetness between Owen and Rory. I loved that they both got so flustered around each other and even though it led to a little miscommunication it was only to try to prevent the other from being uncomfortable. 

The Holidate Rescue did a solid job of packing in one-sided enemies to a short story, although the Lumberjack character(?) was a bit much. I liked seeing Ronny and his brothers and how we was so in on Marshall even if Marshall didn’t recognize it.
