thatski's review against another edition
On my period and simply not in the mood. Too spicy. I love the idea of it and I love the authors in this that I’ve read before. Just not the wholesome holiday vibe I’m looking for at the moment. Would like to revisit it!

Not what I was expecting. I thought this was cute holiday romcom stories. This was super heavy erotica lol which isn't a bad thing just not what I'm in the mood for.

1-2/5 spice Spice varies between stories
I'm upset I slept on this one last year... what was I thinking?!
An anthology with a bunch of my favorite Latina authors and some new to me authors. I loved every story and how everything came together in the last story. It was so heartwarming, magical, and sexy. This is definitely a new favorite classic holiday book. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed every narrator who was on this recording.
Overall, I highly recommend it for fans of holiday romances and short stories. Since the spice varies with each story, it is hard to rate as a whole. Just know there is something for everyone, zero spice to fade to black to open door with details...

A warm, funny, sincere collection of interconnected short stories that reimagine Love, Actually with a more diverse collection of characters and love stories. I did enjoy some of the novellas more than others--Love in Spanglish by Zoey Castile and Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Priscilla Oliveras were particular highlights--but that's par for the course with romance anthologies and I'd definitely still recommend this. It's a perfect holiday read to dip in and out of and the stories all feel coherent but with distinctive voices. Sometimes I can just tell when authors had a lot of fun working on a project and this one exudes fun.

This was such a fun holiday short story collection! I meant to read this when it came out but never got around to it so I was so excited when I saw the audio version! I loved the audiobook narrators and thought they did a great job! The narrators were really able to embody each character so well. I thought this was a great short story collection and I enjoyed seeing how each story was interconnected. After every story I wanted more which speaks to how great each author's writing was. I was rooting for every relationship. These short stories are the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. These short stories have great Latinx representation! I plan on seeking out all of these authors' full length romances if I haven’t read them before.
