OK, I was surprised! I have read so many stories with the Christmas theme lately and most have been rather hum-drum but CHRISTMAS SPIRIT was actually rather nice. It was a pleasant package of three short contemporary romances with characters and story lines that were refreshing.
Leigh Greenwood's BAH, HUMBUG! was the longest about an advertising exec who finds the holidays something best forgotten. That is until he meets a financial investor who helps him find those special memories that make it the most wonderful season. 4 Stars
Elaine Fox's CHRISTMAS PRESENT has a young lady visiting her hometown during the holidays. Competitiveness and money were synonyms that her mother threw at Susannah while she was growing up. Her love for her father brings her back and, unexpectedly, she meets a man that she never thought she'd have feelings for. Can Santa bring everybody together? 4 Stars
Linda Winstead's BLUE CHRISTMAS takes a woman on a journey to show her what her life would be like if she misses out on the man who pursues her. Heartbroken once before Jess Lennox refuses to date musicians. But Jimmy Blue isn't just a singer. He has thought she was special from the moment he first met Jess. He only asks that she give him a chance. 4 Stars
This is a Christmas anthology that has stories that are better than the norm. If you are looking to take a break from all the holiday fuss grab something warm to drink, a blanket and cozy up in your rocker for a relaxing time. I think you will enjoy these satisfying moments.
