review 1: My Thoughts on Overtime LoveMiss Jenkins brings us another enchanting tale, and just in time for Christmas. After Tasha Bloom’s grandfather dies and leaves her his semipro football team, she is reunited with her long time crush, and General manager of the team Drew Davis. After being promised the team, Drew is livid but is willing to work with Tasha to bring the team up to par. In the midst, their attraction grows and they are unable to deny themselves.Loved this story. It was fun and romantic and the characters were charming. Tasha and Drew are great together and their personalities just mesh well. I’m also very interested in Tasha’s best friend Monty and am hoping Miss Jenkins will be writing his story in the future.The only issue I had with this story was wh... moreen Tasha proposed to Drew. Though I can get with the modern times, in this way I remain a traditional girl. You know, he who finds a wife and all of that. There was a little redeeming in regards to this because Drew had already planned to pop the question to her. This story is more about the journey and less about the destination, though I loved where they ended up.Overall, loved it. Beverly Jenkins brought it just as good as she always does.My Thoughts on Ex-mas ReunionThis story was kind of blah for me. After drifting apart when they went off to separate colleges, Kendra and Damien run into each other in the airport. When the weather doesn’t permit them to fly home, Damien convinces Kendra to road trip it. Damien is eager for a second chance, but Kendra is still hurt by the way Damien stopped returning her calls and emails ten years ago. Yup, he pulled a fade to black move on her.I didn’t like Kendra at all. If she has just put on her big girl panties and had a sincere discussion with Damien, they could have worked things out a lot sooner and a lot simpler. Her stubbornness was annoying and I felt sorry for poor Damien…and he was the one in the hot seat!Overall, the story really dragged and I just didn’t care what happened to either of them. This story was a miss for me.My Thoughts on A Holiday AffairAnother winner! When Ava and Colby have a one night stand, neither thinks they will see the other again. But when they are opposing council on a high profile case, things get real hot and real complicated, real quick. Battling her desire for Colby and her ethics, Ava is torn between loving Colby and being dedicated to her job.The characters were dynamic and the romance was explosive! I enjoyed getting to know Ava and Colby. Both successful attorneys, Ava is head strong, intelligent, and goes after what she wants. Colby is also intelligent and quite a formidable when it comes to his job. But I loved that he was so laid back and humorous in his personal life. Definitely somebody a woman could easily fall for.My only issue with this story was how many of the characters were dead ringers for some very attractive celebrities. Idris Elba (yes Lawd!), Boris Kodjoe (ummm hmm), and Megan Goode. Really? Personally I like to conjure a person from the actual description, not be told who to picture. If a celebrity comes to mind, so be it. Otherwise, let’s not reference them, or at least not so often.Other than that, the story was engaging and the writing was superb. This was my first time reading Maureen Smith and I’ll definitely be picking up some of her other stuff. Overall, a very worthy Christmas anthology!
review 2: Overtime Love by Beverly JenkinsI loved this novella. This was fun and I fell in love with Drew and Tasha. This is such a cute little couple and both of them knows exactly what works and they work hard to succeed. It was really nice to see a successful business woman fall in love, but still hold to her independence. She worked really hard to prove in the begin to prove how good she could make the time and it was great on the outcome.Ex-mas Reunion by Kayla PerrinNot my favorite novella, but it had a cute reunion. It was a little boring and things took forever to actually happen, but I liked Damien and his struggles to understand and accept Kendra. But Kendra was not my favorite character because it felt like she was pushing everyone away in her hole life.A Holiday Affair by Maureen SmithI liked this story, because it showed this both really great character working to find a way to actually be together. These are opposing sides, but they were really hot together and deserved to be happy, because their life story was so sad, especially Colby. It was nice to see him working on his problems from the past and trying to find closure for some of his darkest nightmares. less
