"Naughty Noelle" by Melissa MacNeal is a great book about a 47 year old woman and a 33 year old man who meet when Noelle and her mom leave the city for a cabin in the hills to spend their depressing Christmas. Not everything is under the tree.

"Unwrap Me," written by Susan Lyons, presents Judith and Nicholas. She hates Christmas and he loves it. Wait until you see what happens when Jude gets a Secret Santa gift which keeps on giving.

"All She Craves for Christmas" by Melissa Randall completes the anthology with Anita, a famous model, and Dylan, who formerly was babysat by her. This couple proves that you can go home again and overcome the unexpected.

The main thing these three authors had in common was that they were all three great writers who were more than able to capture and keep my attention. I could not wait to turn the page. The characters were incredible and the bonds the formed were explosive. The sensual scenes were smoking and quite frequent. This book is definitely not for the faint-of-heart.

Even though the circumstances were, understandably, different in these stories, the intensity of the obstacles was sizzling and astonishing. The sexual encounters were all mind-boggling. Even though the sex scenes were quickly consummated, it was not far-fetched because the couples were so primed for love that readers will certainly see how it could happen.

Even though the main characters were fascinating, all three authors also introduced fabulous secondary people who greatly enhanced the stories written. There are no bad people, just some who played the part. Their characters were phenomenal.

As you can tell, I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a burning erotic offering for the Christmas season.
