4.5 stars for The Pumpkin Was Stuffed by Tara Sivec!
I am a big fan of Tara Sivec's Holiday series, so I couldn't wait to read the Halloween installment of their antics. Tara's sense of humor is spot-on and the Holiday family is back with their trademark absurd antics. I was laughing out loud from the beginning, but whenever I see shouty capitals, I know I am going to choke. Absolutely choke! What a riot! I hated to read that Tara was gathering "the Holiday family together one last time"..... I need more!
**I voluntarily read an advance copy**

Tijan's story was a bit hard for me to follow for a while since I hadn't read any other stories in the series. I did think that it was a great honor movie read to start off a Halloween book.
J. Daniels book was also a bit confusing as I hadn't read anything to tie the characters together. I did find it very sweet. Nolan was a great character.
I loved Helena Hunting's story. It was hot and absolutely hysterical. I loved Ruby's costumes. I really hope that Amie drops Armstrong and gets with Lex!!!
I'm madly in love with Bella Jewel's story. It was the perfect Halloween romance. A little scary and a lot of sweetness.
Tara Sivec's story was hysterical! I loved the neighborhood decoration war. The quirky characters absolutely made this story!
Note, I received an advance copy of this book in return for my honest review.

***So Much More*** by J. Daniels
After I did the whole 50 shades thing along with the Crossfire series, someone recommended the Alabama Summer Series by J. Daniels. Whomever it was that put the glorious J.Daniels in my life, I LOVE YOU.
This is a MUST read for any BAMA girl. You know the series is absolutely amazing and with this little snippet into everyone’s lives, it is even better. Ben & Mia, Luke & Tessa, Reed & Beth and CJ & Riley all make an appearance. The best part of it all though?? NOLAN!!!!!
Halloween is upon the crew and there are so many things in the works for the gang! It is great to get back to the love, sexiness and REAL relationships that each couple is experiencing. This novella was most definitely THE most swoon-worthy book of the BAMA gang, and that’s saying a lot!
If you are a fan of the Alabama Summer Series, THIS IS A MUST!!
5 STARS!!
***SHACKING UP CREW FROM HELENA HUNTING***
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
I absolutely adored Shacking Up and it was great to get a look at them yet again around Halloween. Ruby and Bane are as HOT as ever and I was excited to get introduced to Lex, Bane's brother and learn more about Amie!!
5 stars!!

Review for So Much More by J. Daniels
I can NEVER get enough of the Alabama Summer clan!!! I was wondering which couple So Much More was based on. I wanted ALL of them and I got my wish and SO MUCH MORE. ;) All I can say is Nolan. <3 J. Daniels managed to fill the novella with ALL the feels. I only wish it was longer, but NO AMOUNT of pages would be long enough for me when it comes to them.

5 "I need more Bama Boys and Bane" Stars!!!
I loved this anthology! All the novellas were ah-mazing!!! But I especially loved 'So Much More' by J. Daniels and 'Getting Down' by Helena Hunting!!!
***So Much More*** by J. Daniels
BAMA BOYS!!!!! Need I say more?! This short and sweet novella satisfied my thirst for more of this crew. I mean, don't get me wrong. I still NEED more of the Bama gang. I'll NEVER get tired of reading about these characters, EVER!
Ben and Mia are still EVERYTHING!!! These two just steal my heart. They are just so damn adorable, but then again, they're also so HOT, HOT, HOT! Don't even get me started with their sons, Chase and Nolan. Those two are so darn cute, I can't even. Ugh, I can go on and on about this little family, but you'll just have to read for yourself the other surprises that are in store.
Luke and Tessa, oh these two. I got emotional with their story. No spoilers here though. All I've got to say is, Luke had me clutching my heart. That man, gosh he's just something else.
Reed and Beth, oh f*** just as kinky as ever! OH MY FREAKING GOSH, that scene, ohhhh weeee *fans self* When you guys read it, just be prepared, it will not disappoint!
CJ and Riley, still as crazy for each other as ever. They're so cute together. CJ is just a cuddly teddy bear, I can't.
Seriously, 'So Much More' was oh-so-good!!! I loved getting a glimpse of how the lives of the Bama group has been. I hope for so much more for a certain character in the future. *fingers crossed*
***Getting Down*** by Helena Hunting
I was so excited when I found out that Helena was included in this anthology. I couldn't wait to see how the lives of Bane, Ruby and Amie have been going.
Bane and Ruby, ahhhhh I couldn't get enough!!! Ruby is such a hoot, I'd forgotten how hilarious she was. I absolutely love Bane and Ruby's relationship. My gosh are these two over-the-moon for each other. I loved their playfulness and the fact that they couldn't keep their hands of each other. I mean, if I were Ruby I'd jump Bane's bones any chance I had too. I can't wait to read more about them in Amie's book.
Amie, oh I loved getting to know her better. It was just a glimpse, but I'm so prepared to know more about her in her book. I can't wait to see what happens. And I certainly hope a certain someone is in her book as well!
I cannot wait for 'Hooking Up' November NEEDS get the eff here NOW! I NEED Amie's book right NOW! I NEED questions answered and I NEED more Bane and Ruby!

I think that I would have enjoyed this anthology a lot more if I had been more familiar with the series featured in it. Having only read a couple of the authors I thought this would be a great introduction to new to me authors.
The stories were good and I'll definitely be picking up some of these authors & series to read going forward, but I can't help but suggest that if you haven't read these series before that you might not enjoy them as much as if you had.

I was so excited to get a chance to see more of some of my favorite characters and series. I haven't had the chance to read all the series that connect to each novella yet so I stuck with the couple I had read for now. I have a few new books to add to my TBR list now. I can't wait to dive into the rest of this anthology soon.
So Much More by J Daniels ~ 5 Stars
So Much More is a definite must read for all of you Alabama Summer Series fans. Daniels gives us an update on all the happenings of our favorite couples with this little glimpse into their world. There was excitement, quite a few laugh out loud moments, some tears, plenty of sweet, and of course, a decent amount of steam. I absolutely loved catching up with this crew. I was impressed with how much substance Daniels was able to include in such a short story. I can't wait to see where she takes these characters next and I'm desperate to see how certain aspects play out.
The Pumpkin Was Stuffed by Tara Sivec ~ 5 Stars
I totally woke my husband and one of my children while reading this. Noel and Sam are about to be parents and with another holiday fast approaching, who knows what catastrophes lie ahead. Being back with the Stockings and Holidays was a non-stop laugh riot. This novella was a perfect fit for this couple and series. I'm not sure if Sivec has plans to write more of these two (or other characters within the series) but I'm all over it if she does.

This review is a general review for all the novellas included in this anthology.
What a fantastic collection of scary, sexy, fun and flirty halloween stories.
It was great to catch up with some old favourites, have some become new favourites, and most of all, enjoy some spooktacular short stories.
I especially loved going back to worship at the Church of Bane in Helena Hunting's short, which had the added bonus of really making me excited for Hooking Up to hit my kindle.
I don't often read anthologies, however I really did adore this one.
I can't wait to see what all these authors bring us in future.
