Naughty or Nice: A Holiday Regency Anthology.

Naughty or Nice is an anthology of seven Regency Christmas romance
novellas. Prior to picking up this book, I had never heard of any of the authors submitting to this anthology, but decided to take a chance on them based solely on the cover of the book. Isn’t it stunning?!

All stories had a strong Christmas vibe, were sweet in nature, and are all stand-alone reads.

This is a very quick anthology to read, two hours tops, great for anyone looking to fill a break in festivities during the holiday season.

Funny, complex’s, full, entertaining and romantic … even spicy sometimes !!!
I loved this collection of prequels to the craziest and best regency romance I’ve read recently !!!
Some of them were more enemies to lovers, others a bit more friends to lovers and some lovers to enemies to lovers.
The most different characters involved in their own special love stories that have all the same undertone … the magic of Christmas time !!!
I’m very glad I had the chance to read them all and while some of those sequels I was already familiar with, I truly hope that I will have the chance to get to experience them.

I really enjoyed this collection of shorter stories that took place at Christmas. I honestly would buy this just for the Tracey Sumner novella, I have read all of the stories in that series and this one was just as good. Another favorite was the book by Charlie Lane, great characters in that one!

This is a collection of sweet romance stories. In this anthology you'll read stories by Bree Wolf, Sydney Jane Baily, Tracy Sumner and more.
This is a great anthology full of sweet romance stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

Naughty or Nice is an anthology of seven late Georgian/Regency Christmastide romance
novellas by relatively well known authors.

They were full of holiday spirit from sweet stories to naughty cross-class ones, all were unique and
enough variety for every reader of Regency romance to find stories and series they will love.

All were well written and while most are part of ongoing series the authors gave enough information that
I didn't feel lost. And all seem to be brand new stories in their various series.

It was nice to find a couple novellas from series I am reading and a couple new to me series I think I
may look into in the near future. I would definitely recommend this book.


I received this ARC from WOLF Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you.

This was such a well done Holiday Regency Anthology, it does what I was hoping for when I read the description. The stories were so well done and each story was what I was hoping for, there were no weak story in the bunch and I'm glad I was able to get some Holiday spirit.

It is really impossible not to enjoy this wonderful, thrilling, captivating, intense, intriguing and romantic collection of holiday regency romances. Sit comfortably, prepare your snacks and get sucked into the world of dukes, earls and ladies. I am suffering from the lack of sleep because I just had to read it at once.

This checked off everything I look for in a book. Was not disappointed. Really enjoyed this book. I will read more from this author. Must read. Historical fiction oh yeah.

I didn't read all of the novellas, I stuck to the author that I have read before and look forward to reading the rest.
I always marvel at Tracy Sumner's ability to pack a punch in a novella. This one was a hit as well. I really liked it!

As someone who thrives in the Christmas/Holiday season, these anthologies were no exception to holiday books I absolutely loved! They were all sweet stories, that were fun and cute and full of the Holiday spirit! Each story has it's own unique characters and plot that there is guaranteed one that every reader will love in it!

There are a great selection of stories from some great authors! Definitely a book I will be revisiting closer to the holiday season to re-read!

Thank you NetGalley for providing an ARC copy of this novel.

Nice collection of holiday novellas from this group of historical romance authors. Some of the stories are continuations of pre-existing series, so it is helpful to have read these authors previously. The anthology was well-organized and easy to navigate between the stories. I appreciated that each one had a summary/blurb before jumping into the novella itself.
