This was an okay book. I wasn’t very fond of the characters or the writing style. I would be willing to try again if a blurb catches my attention.

A holiday anthology with everything from Santa to cowboys to lumberjacks. This anthology had something that I don't find very often - I hadn't previously read any of these authors. So, I found a few to check out. The stories are all quick reads and they are sexy. Of course, I did like some better than others, but I didn't dislike any of them. If you enjoy gay romance and holiday romance, this makes a good way to get both. Oh, and don't forget the steamy goodness because this one has plenty!

I wish I could have liked this one. I thought the first story was okay enough, but the next several I couldn't get into. I ended up dnfing this one at about 25%. It felt...like it could have used a little more curation and editing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is a collection of 11 erotic holiday stories featuring gay couples. I enjoyed most of the stories. I'd definitely read all of these authors again.

Such a great book with a solid storyline and great characters.

I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

A definite recommend!

Quite the collection of short, gay, holiday-themed erotica stories.
It showed a wide range of types of relationships and sexual preferences. As to be expected, I found some more enjoyable than others. There was only one story I felt did not quite belong with the collection. There were some that were a delightful mix of sexy and witty. Overall, a quick read that could make a lonely holiday season a bit better.

There are total 11 stories about gay couples spending their Christmas. Story no.5 is my favorite but I also liked Story no.1,2,6,10. But I didn't like story no.7 and 11. I really loved some of the stories as those seem perfect to me but some of them I didn't really like much. A few stories need more clear information, but some of them, on the other hand, need to avoid unnecessary ramblings.

I got this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a great collection of gay erotic romance stories to get you in the holiday spirit. The stories vary in setting and steamy romance, but the theme of wanting connection during the Christmas resonates throughout. The collection is well put together and could be a great choice for someone looking for gay Christmas erotica.

This is a sweet and interesting collection of short stories all centered around gay men finding a match in or around Christmas time. The settings and heat level vary, but the emotional connections are all on the page. Great read for snack-sized entertainment time, like a lunch break or while riding transit.

I picked this book because I love Christmas romance stories. Yes I was fully aware these were short gay erotic stories in the book by many authors. And I went into reading them like they were short novellas. I loved many of the stories and didn’t want those to end. I’m hoping they will turn into full length books soon. Some of the stories were definitely hot and steamy. So if that’s not what you would like to read, now you know.
Unfortunately a couple of the stories I was left confused on why I didn’t care for them. I won’t point out which of those were not to my liking since I believe everyone should give this book a chance. I definitely will pick some of these authors that I loved for later reads. Thank you to David Laurents for editing this book. I cannot imagine picking which story to put into an anthology.
I received this ARC from the publisher and Netgalley for my honest review and opinion. Thank you for my copy. I will post on Goodreads as well.
