review 1: Today’s post is on Naughty & Nice: Three Holiday Treats by Ruthir Knox, Molly O’Keefe, and Stefanie Sloane. The cover has a half-naked wearing a Santa hat. There is sex, some language but no violence in this book. The intended reader is a romance fan. The stories are all third person close.From Goodreads- ’Tis the season for romance with three original holiday-themed novellas!

Ruthie Knox tells a heartwarming contemporary story of first loves given the gift of a second chance; Molly O’Keefe releases the ghosts of Christmas past with a prequel to her novel Crazy Thing Called Love; and Stefanie Sloane weaves an irresistible Regency tale of fiery passio... moren that burns deep on a cold winter’s night.ROOM AT THE INN by Ruthie KnoxCarson Vance couldn’t wait to get out of Potter Falls, but now that he’s back to spend Christmas with his ailing father, he must face all the people he left behind . . . like Julie Long, whose heart he broke once upon a time. Now the proprietor of the local inn, Julie is a successful, seductive, independent woman—everything that Carson’s looking for. But despite several steamy encounters under the mistletoe, Julie refuses to believe in happily ever after. Now Carson must prove to Julie that he’s back for good—and that he wants her in his life for all the holidays to come.ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU by Molly O’KeefeMaddy Baumgarten and Billy Wilkins are spontaneous, in love, and prepared to elope the day after Christmas—that is, if Maddy’s family doesn’t throw a wrench in their plans. After all, Maddy’s barely out of high school and Billy’s a notorious bad boy. Maddy doesn’t care about Billy’s rough past—all she cares about is living in the here and now. But after Maddy’s mother stops speaking to her in protest, and a Christmas Eve heart-to-heart with her father leaves her with butterflies, Maddy starts to get cold feet. She loves Billy, but is she taking this big step too soon?ONE PERFECT CHRISTMAS by Stephanie SloaneAfter being jilted by her fiancé, Jane Merriweather turns to her dear childhood friend, the Honorable Lucas Cavanaugh, for support—and unlocks the smoldering desire simmering in the man’s troubled heart. Frightened by his newfound feelings, Lucas flees to Scotland. But when the Christmas season brings them together again, one glance is all that’s needed to reignite his yearning. If Lucas can convince Jane that his intentions are as pure as the falling snow, they’ll turn a dreary December into a joyous Yuletide affair.Review- Not a bad series of short stories. I liked One Perfect Christmas the best but not bad at all. You get just what you wanted from this collection. Three holiday romance stories with sex and true love in the end. I liked Sloane’s story best because it was historical. I am not much for contemporary anything but some TV and not even that really. I like something different than just what could happen to me. If I could have this exact experience then I usually do not really like it. The writing for the other stories was not bad, they were well written but just not my thing. If you want a cute series of short stories for the holiday season then try these.I give this book a three out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I won this book from Goodreads giveaway.
review 2: 3 StarsThis collection of holiday stories is all over the place. You start with a quaint story of reunited love. Carson Vance and Julie Long have dated on and off for years. Every time he comes home in fact, but not this time. After a decade its time to grow up and move on. The second story is about first love at eighteen and twenty. While the story was okay, it felt more like a young adult story then an adult one. The final story in this compilation is a historical one. It’s a typical story of two friends finding love and denying it at the same time. There is no string tying all these stories together and for this reader it takes some of the fun out of the reading. less

Ruthie Knox was a great read, the other two were okay. I skimmed a lot of the last two.
