A review by whitwein
Amor Actually by Adriana Herrera, Sabrina Sol, Diana Muñoz Stewart, Mia Sosa, Priscilla Oliveras, Alexis Daria, Zoey Castile

4.5

I love an anthology that weaves together at the end just like Love, Actually but this was better. Some of the more problematic storylines in the movie are not problematic and HOT in this. 

Make the Yuletide Gay- Adrianna Herrera
This one starts the whole book of with a BANG! It was so hot and so sweet. We have an older popstar with her very attentive assistant- The mutual pining for each other was great and it was low but realistic conflict. One of my top favorites in this anthology. 

Only Yours- Sabrina Sol
On the other hand this one was my least favorite idk if it was because it came after the first being so hot and quickly paced that this one felt like it draaagged and I just didn’t care if this guy got to kiss the girl… 

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe-Priscilla Oliveras
Héctor and Eneida challenge each other to bring dates to Nochebuenas and he is able to see he really does want something to happen with his son’s music teacher. Honestly a little forgettable but I remember enjoying it. 

All I Want for Nochebuena- Alexis Daria
Two adult film stars that have watched each other’s careers closely finally get to work on an ad campaign for a new sex toy line. 🥵🥵🥵 incredibly hot and such a fun story. Another top fav 

Santa’s Eager Little Helper- Mia Sosa
Sarina works for her brother but he doesn’t see her as someone that can handle the job she really wants so she uses a Santa cooking show to show him she’s got what it takes whilst letting her cohost Carlos know she’s interested in dating him. This one was fun although Carlos was kind of a crank. 

The Nochebuena Dating Dare-Diana Muñoz Stewart
The other story in the Hector and Eneida challenge to find a date for nochebuenas. Eneida is a newly divorced librarian and she and the new acting teacher hit it off quickly but is it too quick for her and her family? It was cute. 

Love in Spanglish-Zoey Castile
The Colin firth storyline but she’s the writer and he is the most romantic man alive. This was very cute. 

To Us You are Perfect- Alexis Daria and Adrianna Herrera
The Keira Knightley story but a million times better because they are all in love not trying to steal any wives from besties. It could have been spicier but it was good. 

The Great Holiday Escape- Zoey Castile 
Gigi is the one hosting this party everyone is getting ready for but before the party she meets the men of her dreams on a trip and then has the party where everyone gets together. 

A great anthology. I didn’t dislike any of the stories and it was great for the holidays.
