A fun holiday read... December 29, 2008
J.L. Cocca (New Jersey)
During the busiest time of the year, it's nice to pick up a book that simply entertains. This 3-pack of novellas accomplished just that. Each of the three stories can easily be finished in one sitting and they provide the perfect, mindless getaway that many of us crave in the midst of last minute shopping and gift-wrapping excursions.
 The Good, The Bad, and the Unbeleivable December 27, 2008
S. Kinzer (Indiana)
The Lori Foster story is good, and fans of Too Much Trouble and Never Too Much will enjoy the reappearance of Grace, Noah, Ben and Sierra. Levi is a great hero, although one does wonder why Beth would have run from him to begin with.
The Karen Kelley story is bad - really bad. The leading man is such a shallow jerk, that you have a hard time figuring out why the heroine would want him. Apparently his entire appeal is based on the fact that he is Hollywood actor gorgeous. (Litterally, he is supposed to be a Hollywood actor.) Although he was supposed to be doing in depth research on the role of a preacher, he never opens his bible, and his entire "act" consists of riding into town on his Harley and telling people he is a preacher. He also says impromptu grace, quite awkwardly, a few times. Yet everyone supposedly believes that he really is a preacher. Characters that I didn't like, and definitely didn't want getting together in the end.
The Diane Castell story at least has characters that I liked and rooted for. But they go from complete strangers to married in the space of a weekend. The machinations of the grooms mother and uncle are completely unbelievable. Would you arrange a marriage for your son to a complete stranger, after having seen the way he looked at her when she served him breakfast at the local tavern/diner? Even so, I liked the fact that they find each other. Good romance is rarely realistic, so I guess this one doesn't have to be either.
Not pretty on the Kindle November 22, 2008

I enjoyed these stories, but there were severe formatting issues when reading this on the Kindle that really interfered with my reading experience. I will think twice before I buy another Kensington book on the Kindle.
If I Were Lori Foster, I Would Be Offended October 9, 2008

I bought this book mainly because I enjoy Lori Foster's books. I also like to buy anthologies because it gives me an opportunity to "discover" another author that I may not have read before. Well, the only reason I am giving this a three-star rating is because I enjoyed Foster's story. I can't stress enough how TERRIBLE the other two stories were - especially Castell's. If I were Foster, I would be offended that the publisher put these authors (who clearly are not the same caliber) in with my story. If I could give out stars based on yuckiness, the other two stories would definitely rate 5 stars!
I loved Karen Kelley's Contribution! April 11, 2008

Does it get any better? Christmas magic . . . sensual fantasies . . . three fun authors . . . an anthology! Yum!
Book 1 -
Lori Foster: "The Christmas Present." - Rating: 3 Stars
Forever . . . Levi Masterson loved Beth Monroe! Yet he is too much of a friend and gentleman to do anything about it! But when Beth catches her fiance with another woman, Levi has his golden opportunity . . . finally!
*** Reviewer's Comments -
Usually Lori Foster is a lot of fun and although, THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT is a pleasant read - I expected so much more! There seemed to be too much running back and forth between the characters, "You love me!" "No, I don't!" "Yes, you do!" And, to make matters worse, I felt as if I was caught up in a storm, hastily blown toward the story's conclusion.
Reading Status: It was OK.
Book 2 -
Karen Kelley: "It's a Wonderful Life." - Rating: 5 Stars
What is wrong with her? Bailey Tanner is definitely out of God's good grace now! She is lusting after a preacher for heaven's sake! It was her seductive wink that sparked his sprained ankle, and it was her guesthouse that laid the ground work, but it was her coquetry that brought the man straight to his knees! Jeremy Hunter, Hollywood playboy, is researching an upcoming 'man of the cloth' role . . . incognito. Now the actor, aka Trey Jones, feels like a panic-stricken cad!
*** Reviewer's Comments -
Oh what fun! For a short story, Karen Kelley writes a jewel. Ms. Kelley is one of those rare authors who can combine comedy and sensuality and not diminish the impact of her romance. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is as cute as a button and as hot as a firecracker.
Reading Status: Marvelous.
Book 3 -
Dianne Castell: "Home for Christmas." - Rating: 2 Stars
She would never look at another gazebo again without thinking of him. The guy had been incredible and they had SHARED astonishing sex! Yet it was essential that they separate. Neither needed another man-woman relationship. Mr. Incredible had been dumped at the altar and Miss 'pregnant' Congeniality had simply been dumped - it seemed the jerk wasn't the daddy type! So what kept positioning Sebastian Moore and LuLu Cahill together? Physics? Over-enthused relatives? All of the above!
*** Reviewer's Comments -
If Lori Foster's story made me feel caught up in a storm, then Dianne Castell's HOME FOR CHRISTMAS snarled me in a tornado! Bombarded with far-reaching dialogue and an outrageous storyline, HOME FOR CHRISTMAS was just too much.
Reading Status: Mediocre.
As a whole it's always difficult to rate an anthology . . . some stories are winners, while others are not! This can be said of I'M YOUR SANTA; it's unfortunate that all the stories weren't of the same caliber.
