Sexy Scrooge<\/b><\/h4>\n

The last thing I needed was to share an Uber with Scrooge – a cocky lawyer on a snowy Christmas Eve. It was bad enough I was on my way to court for the gift of eviction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although maybe today wouldn’t turn out so bad after all.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Sexy Scrooge and I started to connect as we trudged our way through a storm. Our ride was about to end. But would I ever see him again?<\/em><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Meredith jumps into an Uber in a mad rush to court to battle an eviction notice, she didn\u2019t expect to land on the lap of a complete stranger. Whoops! Eventually agreeing to share their ride, they get chatting and agree to help each other out of some sticky situations. Cue the banter and flirting, a really cute twist and a very Christmassy happy ending.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Merry Mistake<\/b><\/h4>\n

Also available in the All Wrapped up for the Holidays<\/a> anthology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note to self: Ask Santa for glasses this year. When I accidentally mistook a gorgeous man resting outside my building for a homeless person in need of lunch, we got into it. I’d only been trying to do a good deed around the holidays, but he called me righteous. I called him something far worse. If only I didn’t have to see him again. But fate had other plans.<\/em><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

Piper and Mason don\u2019t get off to the best start when she mistakes him for a homeless man outside of her apartment and he takes great offence.\u00a0 They both leave the encounter with a bad taste in their mouths, but it\u2019s seriously funny.\u00a0 And surprise, surprise, they run into each other again and end up talking, and things are a bit different the second time around.<\/p>\n

Featuring a surprising amount of depth, this little romance is a really great read with fantastic characters, great banter and chemistry, and a sweet love story, and I loved it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kissmas in New York<\/b><\/h4>\n

Also available in the Christmas in the City<\/a> anthology<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was just supposed to be a simple kiss with a stranger. I’d done it to prove a point – that I hadn’t lost my sense of adventure. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. Maybe I’d get something in my stocking after all this holiday season….<\/em><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Ma<\/strong>rgo is accused by her best friend of having lost her sense of spontaneity, she defiantly agrees to a dare to prove otherwise. She is then dared to kiss a stranger in their coffee shop. Awkward! But she\u2019s determined, so she approaches the sexy stranger and initiates conversation that ends in a life-changing kiss. It\u2019s after that that things get messy, and even though they\u2019re both keen to explore their chemistry, life has other plans.<\/p>\n

These two have some pretty big hurdles to overcome to get their chance, but they\u2019re both willing to fight for it, and I loved watching this one play out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These three short stories are fun, cute and full of romance. They are really great reads with fantastic characters, great banter and chemistry, and sweet love stories, and I loved them all!<\/p>\n
