New York City, New York - Present Day
Overworked, undersexed, and unable to sleep on the first night of
her two week vacation, Paige Rogers decides to open a present under
her Christmas tree. What she unwraps surprises her. Inside is a
book is called Christmas Helper, which has the usual
suggestions of ways to relax, but the sexually explicit drawings are
different and arousing. Even more so when she realizes the star of
them is her next door neighbor, Ethan Jackson…and herself. Then
Ethan shows up at her door and magic sizzles between them and they
are having spectacular sex. Is this real, or has her imagination
gone wild?
CHRISTMAS HELP HER is a sexy, fun read with a hint of the
paranormal. Paige suspects where the book came from, but it doesn’t
explain other strange things going on, like mistletoe popping up,
which causes Ethan to suddenly feel the urge to kiss her. There is
a nice chemistry between Paige and Ethan that makes their
relationship believable and keeps the story interesting. In the
end, readers will be wondering if there is indeed magic, or if it
was just Paige’s dream. The sex is hot and the story wonderful.
Head on over to Ellora’s Cave and snatch up this delightful tale.

It's Christmas Eve and Darby Blythe is going to kick some alien
butt. Months before, when Darby had refused to conform to her
in-laws' off-world customs, her mother-in-law used her ability to
manipulate cellular activity and had literally stolen Darby's baby
from her womb. Now, nothing's going to stop Darby from getting her
baby back, not even an unexpected reunion with her estranged husband
who claims to have been a prisoner of his own family. Can Darby
trust him or is she being set up for another betrayal?
Talk about the monster-in-law from hell! While the plot is stellar
and the pacing is intense, I must confess to finding the love scenes
a bit contrived. Nevertheless, DECKING THE HOLLISTERS is an
intriguing quickie guaranteed to heat up your winter nights.

souls back to the light and out of despair. Twice before Celena has
managed to talk her way out of being assigned to Lon Townsend, and
she knows she can’t do it a third time. Celena believes he does not
need saving, he looks happy enough to her, bedding a different woman
every night. Besides, as a celestial being composed of thought and
spirit, Celena is having some intense, physical reactions toward
Lon, which she finds strange since she does not have a body.
Celena has two weeks, until December 25th, to find the perfect woman
for Lon. But she is starting to wonder, could heaven be wrong and
is she the woman Lon has always been looking for? ECHOES FROM
HEAVEN takes the idea that all of us have our own personal angels
looking out for us, and blends it with some very erotically charged
sexual encounters. Celena is an angel hot enough to make the
heavens' blush, and Lon is a hero with enough sex appeal to light up
any Christmas tree. Give yourself an early holiday present and

A manor house and a tiny village in medieval times
As a mage hunter, it’s Moran’s job to destroy sorcerers who have
turned away from the light and become evil. While fighting the
female mage, Beatrice, Moran is forced to create a weapon combined
from the power of the Goddess and the dark power in his own soul.
While his spell does defeat Beatrice, it also rebounds on Moran
himself. Mortally injured, Moran stumbles through the snow towards
the east. When he comes upon a village so small that it doesn’t
even deserve the title, he is placed in the care of a beautiful
widow, Enid. Perhaps the Goddess has placed Enid in his path to
allow Moran to at last break his mage’s vow of celibacy and sire a
child before he passes from this life. Or is there more to the
Goddess’s plan?
Liddy Midnight weaves elements of romance, erotic love and magic
into a satisfying tale. A good fit in the Wild Winter
series, FINDING THE LIGHT deserves a read.

they’ve been living in Japan teaching English, it’s been a long time
since she’s spent much time with them. But when the man you’ve
always loved shows up and wants to lavish his attention on you,
well, a girl has to enjoy herself sometimes, right? Besides, maybe
some up close and personal time with the auburn haired Michael will
eradicate the vampire dreams Melaniece has been having about him,
because there’s no way he’s a vamp, they don’t exist. For his part,
Michael can’t wait to claim the chocolate skinned beauty of his
mate, Melaniece. A mistake in the past led to their separation and
now he’s ready to make it up to her. Hopefully she’ll take his
vampire status as well as she took his apology for his bad choices
in their past.

Beckett, Wyoming - Present Day
Liz’s boyfriend took off for the wilds of Alaska and she moved to
Wyoming, where the wildest thing going on is the kids who traipse
through Santa’s cottage every day. When Santa takes his suit off
every night, Liz the elf can’t help but notice how nicely toned his
body is. Santa, aka Steve, is young and good looking and it’s very
tempting for Liz to be naughty with him. Why not have a little
holiday dalliance?
NORTH POLE NAUGHTY is a pleasant read, but I suspect the author
hasn’t visited Wyoming in the middle of winter, as I fully expected
snow and freezing weather. Liz and Steve are both likeable
characters. Even though she spends a good part of the story trying
to avoid him, once they do get together, the sex scenes will keep
you nice and toasty. NORTH POLE NAUGHTY is tale about letting go of
the past so that you can have a future with the man of your destiny.

Snowed in, Alyson Charmaine is sipping her drink and perusing the
lobby when the most gorgeous man she's ever seen enters. She
watches him, wanting him, imagining sex with him, when he turns to
her as though reading her thoughts. He smiles and Alyson almost
melts into a puddle right there on the spot. Unfortunately the
connection is broken when the bellboy comes over and says her room
is ready. When Alison looks up again, her mystery man is gone. Oh
well! Looks like fantasies and her favorite toy are going to be
keeping Alyson company tonight.
Greg Ellington can't stop thinking about the sexy redhead he saw in
the lobby. The moment their eyes met, he thought, "I want her."
Too bad he'd lost out when his attention was drawn from her and
back to the guy at the front desk. Greg goes to his room, hops in
the shower, and mourns the loss of sex with the lovely lady.
However, it's almost Christmas, magic is in the air, and with a
little help from you know who, Greg walks out of the shower and
finds his fantasy woman standing there. Is she a dream or real?
Alyson wonders the same thing when she turns to find a half-naked
Greg leaning against the bathroom door watching her with desire in
his eyes.
