It’s never too early to celebrate the holidays, especially when the proceeds go to charity! This anthology of short stories brings awareness and contributes to testicular cancer...and there’s lots of puns about balls, to keep it interesting!

This is exactly what I was looking for: a bunch of short, romantic stories, set during the holidays. I found myself laughing out loud, and smiling as the characters fell in love. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, and these short stories were just the quick thing to break me out of it.

I was initially interested in this book because of Susannah Nix’s story in it; it’s set in her Chemistry Lessons series. It had her classic smart, STEM based heroine and swoony hero, which I loved. In six short chapters, we see them meet and explore the concept of love at first sight. Also, there’s visits from some old favourites, so if you’re a fan, pick up a copy and support a great cause!

Books like these are a great way to discover new to you authors, which I definitely did! Since finishing the book, I’ve checked out more of Stina Lindenblatt’s work, and I’ve loved everything so far! Can’t wait to check out the other authors works in my free time.

I definitely recommend this book to get you in the holiday spirit! And for such a great cause, who could refuse?
