I've only read a few stories in this awesome book. But, I'm here to review Tempt the Assistant by Natasha Madision.

NATASHA!!!! I need more!
Shane and Bella worked together for a few years. They both fell in love with each other without letting it ever play out. Until they both had enough. Natasha wrote both of these characters beautifully. They are both full of life and know exactly what they want. But, can the get it?

The lineup is FANTASTIC!!! The stories are brilliant!! You may recognize the characters from previous books and fall in love with the all new stories written by these great authors OR may find an author you haven't read before and begin making a new TBR wish list for Christmas and begin finding new worlds to fall in love with. Either way, this is the joy of reading anthologies, there is something for everyone and you seriously can't go wrong with this lovely holiday treat.

In Holiday Ever After the stories are quick and fun and they all revolve around the holidays in some way or the other so you really can't go wrong. You will be able to pick up a story in between running errands, wrapping presents, drinking cocoa, basically every holiday thing on your checklist. There is no need to feel stressful during the holiday season when you can add in a short romance break.

The lineup includes:

MILF on the Shelf by Lili Valente: Adorable, fake boyfriend love with Lili's humor thrown in. Love in the big city and a strange Christmas toilet. Yes, I said toilet :)

Must Love Alligators by Erin Nicholas: The Boys of of the Bayou are back with a quick Christmas tale involving Chase and Bailey. Is Bailey back to talk about endangered animals, or catch a certain med student?

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Red Bikini Trouble by Amy Andrews: A second chance love story in our favorite town of Credence, Co. that involves a bikini, a selfie stick, and lots of trouble.

Planes, Trains and Head Over Heels by Erika Kelly: Two opposites are forced to ride out a storm in the worst possible conditions, but end up finding more in common than they ever imagined.

Baby, It's Cold Outside by Kimberly Kincaid: Back at Remington Medical where love is always in the air. Sophia has been trying to stay away from Dr. Malone, but it turns out Dr. Cocky may have the perfect remedy for what she's been running from after all.

Due to time constraints and the upcoming holidays, I've only made it through half of the anthology, but here is a brief synopsis of the other stories within the anthology. Enjoy and happy holidays!

Mistletoe Kisser by Lucy Score: Two veterinarians and a chance at a second first kiss.

That Snowy Night by J.H. Croix: A second chance romance. I adore these stories and then mix in some holiday magic...well it is just perfect.

Professional Development by Kate Canterbury: Enemies to lovers romance and the holidays mixed togethers.

Tempt the Assistant by Natasha Madison: A company Christmas party and two co-workers who have feelings for one another.

Kissing the Gentleman by Maria Luis: Hilarious workplace romance.

All I Want is a Kiss by Willow Winters: Two business partners who have also had something on the side, but can this be the season to ask for something more?

This set has 11 or 12 stories I am currently reading. I will review as I finish each one.

Baby It's Cold Outside by Kimberly Kincaid - 3 stars
An attending physician and a resident work under a misconception about each other. Circumstances place them in a position that resolved the misconceptions and allows a relationship to flourish. A sweet romance.

Planes, Trains,... and Head Over Heels by Erika Kelly - 2.5 stars
This story was ok. It was kind of sad. A football player and princess develop a relationship through the unlikely circumstances of being stranded by snow storms. I didn't feel much chemistry between them. I felt more like they were two lonely people that felt the loneliness in one another, or a sense of not belonging, and that's how their relationship developed.

J.H. Croix – That Snowy Night

Amy Andrews – Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Red Bikini Trouble

Lucy Score – The Mistletoe Kisser

Lili Valente – MILF on the Shelf

A wonderful story of insta-love between two people who have always felt like they didn’t matter.

Rogue Otters
A Christmas tour through the bayou
The Landry’s will do anything to keep Bailey from finding out about the family of otters. But Bailey isn’t really here for the otters; she’s here hoping to see Chase.
Chase and Bailey have chemistry that’s off
The charts, but they also seem to have crazy luck every time they attempt to touch. The Landry family tries to help with that too.
Chase & Bailey just want to belong and the Landry’s are just the family to help them with that.

Two years of stolen nights with her best friends brother. Olivia wants so much more. Maybe there really are Christmas miracles.

This collection of holiday novellas has it all. There are eleven stories including enemies to lovers, office romances, second chance, with varying degrees of heat but they all have the holidays as a back drop. A great way to spend your holidays.

This was an awesome holiday collection that has it all. Eleven different stories by eleven wonderful authors. You get everything from office romance to enemies to lovers, from slow burns to fast pace lust, determined and strong characters to characters that were filled with blunders and falls. Every story put a smile on my face and a pep in my holiday.

This anthology has a range of different tropes - everything from strangers to lovers to second chance romance.
They may be short stories (perfect for your lunch break) but they pack a punch. I can guarantee you will find a new to you author (or new series connected to these shorts) that you will love.
