Holiday Heart-On is a double win for me. First, I love anthologies. They're a great way to discover new to me authors to add to my ever-growing TBR list (not that it needs any new additions, but that's never stopped me1). Then, this one is romantic comedy, which is one of my favorite tropes. Feels and chuckles - that's a hard combination to beat. In the case of this anthology, I got a new Rush Creek story, Better than Christmas, by Serena Bell and Brenda St John Brown, which is a favorite series, and Hockey Hotties Heart-On by Piper Rayne, just to name a couple. Then I met a couple of new to me authors, like Sylvie Stewart and Melonie Johnson, that have been added to my list. Those are just a drop in the bucket, and I didn't find a single story in this book that I didn't like. They're all a great way to get into the holiday spirit. I binge read mine, but I think this book would be perfect for reading a story each evening or bedtime as the holidays approach. The romances are steamy and fun, and laughs are a good way to beat the holiday blues. As an added bonus, proceeds for this one benefit the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women® movement.

I received this as an ARC from Serena Bell and Brenda St John Brown for their contribution to this anthology. I absolutely loved seeing the characters from their 2 worlds get together. I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the stories in this book as well. I think that what I really loved most was that each story had a different take on why the characters were so invested in the AHA Go Red for Women charity and funraisers. It really highlighted the different ways that heart disease can impact people. My only complain is that most of the stories seemed to have content somewhat jumbled. Hopefully that will all be corrected in the final version.
