All He Wants for Christmas by Laura Wright, Elisabeth Naughton, Alexandra Ivy, Cynthia Eden, Skye Jordan, Katie Reus
5.0
I love this anthology of Christmas stories set in the town of Holly, North Carolina. The town itself is a charming setting, where it's Christmas 24/7. In this anthology, we get to follow along as 6 shop owners find their own bit of Christmas happiness! I especially love that the stories are novellas. It's a busy time of year, and my reading sometimes suffers because of that. I was thrilled to be able to enjoy a holiday story whenever I could spare a couple of hours!
I was delighted to read Merry Christmas, Baby by Katie Reus. She is a favorite author of mine, and while this story is a departure from the action packed romantic suspense stories of hers that I'm familiar with, I was happy to see that there was still that little hint of mystery in this story. I loved Nora, the main character, and could really appreciate her struggle to give her younger sister a happy, stable home life. Admittedly, one of my favorite things about Nora is that she owns Nora's Books & Brew, a bookstore/coffee shop. Hello dream job! Of course, if Nora's got the dream job, she has to have the dream man, right?! Enter one sexy Jackson O'Connor. He's not too perfect though. No, Jackson screwed up BIG time & this story is a fun look at his realization that he has some serious making up to do if he wants to keep the girl of HIS dreams! There was no denying the chemistry between Jackson and Nora, or the friendship they shared, and I enjoyed seeing the two of them make the choice to pursue their relationship.
