I picked up this book because it's been forever since I read a holiday themed book. Also, I hoped it would put me in the holiday spirit. It achieved at least one of my two objectives! The three tales in this anthology occur "around" Christmas but that's where the theme ends. Not to say that that's a bad thing! All three stories were fun reads with steamy r-rated action.Tangled Tinsel is the first tale and my second favorite of this anthology. Two cat shifters find themselves stuck with each other under unusual circumstances. Their first meeting was pretty hot but somewhat anti-climatic as the true reason of why El lures Kyle back to her place comes to light. It is however a nice foreshadowing of things to come! The power-play between the two main characters was quite entertaining. Kind of like good cop vs naughty cop. El's trying to be all professional while Kyle is constantly trying to jump her bones. I'll let you figure out for yourselves how that turns out! Shifter related content was scattered through the story and was a great addition. Believable but not too overdone.
Next up was my favorite out of the three: No Angel. The lead female character's name is Sasha, same as my dog. Does that make me biased? Hmm... perhaps. Regardless, it's a really great read. I actually finished it wishing that it was a full length book! In this story Angels and Demons are a common part of humans' daily lives. Sasha happens to be unknowingly dating one. That is until the s*** hits the fan. Jay gets called back to hell. Although No Angel is only about 100 pages, it's action packed with lovable characters and hot booty time. How Vivi Andrews managed to pack that munch punch into such a short story eludes me.
Last but... yeah, kinda least, was Freeze Line by Moira Robers. I expected great things after having seen this author's name the most over the rest while researching the book. The tale itself was good, I just don't think that it was appropriate for a short story. The sheer size and depth of the world created in Freeze Line was impossible to grasp in less than 100 pages. It left me confused and with too many unanswered questions. Which was disappointing for me, this being the tale that included werewolves. Another huge oversight was that Nadia and Shane didn't get it on until the very end. I expected toe curling goodness in-line with the two previous tales and had to wander around confused for 90% of the story with no sexual distractions. Don't get me wrong, if Free Line was 300 pages I think it would probably be an excellent novel. The premise is original and the characters are charming but 100 pages just didn't cut it.
Winter Wishes is a light read that'll get your mojo going. As for getting you in the "Christmas spirit"? Not so much. But in this case, who cares!? It has variety, great tales and isn't overly complicated. A great read for anyone looking for a nice combination of sex and paranormal without the commitment involved in a full length novel.

Winter Wishes (Audible Audio Edition) Moira Rogers Vivi Andrews Vivian Arend Isabelle Gordon Emily Foster Jennifer O'Donnell Carina Press Books Reviews
Not everyone loves anthologies. When it comes to seasonal tales (ie. Christmas, Solstice, Halloween) an anthology makes a nice forum for authors to dabble in a holiday event without bogging down an entire novel. Winter Wishes brings together three previously unknown to me authors with paranormal romance offerings set either around Christmas or in wintery climates. While all three are available in this one volume they are also available for individual purchase.
[TANGLED TINSEL by Vivian Arend] Opening the anthology, Arend's Tangled Tinsel brings together two sexy cat shifters for a holiday season filled with investigation and copulation. As a reader I don't care for stories that jump straight into sexual situations within the first few pages, especially when the characters don't know one another. That started me off on the wrong foot with this one. Unfortunately nothing went on to redeem it. A pretty convoluted plot, cookie-cutter characters, a jumpy pace and too much sex (yes, there may actually be such a thing) had me skimming for dialog to bring the story back. If you're looking for cat shifters having a lot of sex with a mention of the season being Christmas and New Years this one is for you. 1/5 stars
[NO ANGEL by Vivi Andrews] When Sasha's boyfriend, Jay, gets sucked into Hell on Christmas Eve she's charged with going after him. But has she been sent to kill him or redeem him? Can their relationship survive both the trials Hell has to offer and the truth about their bloodlines? Not only was this a great Christmasy themed offering, it was a darned good bit of world building using angels and demons. I was so impressed I was only a couple of chapters in before I went and started adding Andrews' other titles to my wishlist. 5/5 stars
[FREEZE LINE by Moira Rogers] Shane Sullivan is a werewolf just trying to survive in solitude above the freeze line. When he finds Nadia, a witch dying because there's no magic to connect to so far north, he does the only humane thing and tries to help her. As the two fight their way south to get Nadia to safety both feel the changes their respective kind has to the magic in the earth. But could there be another magic brewing, a magic between them? This one wasn't bad. But it wasn't great either. As with most short stories it's tough to fit in enough world building to make it work. I liked the characters and enjoyed their chemistry but I felt like I didn't know enough about their world to really enjoy it. It did serve to pique my interest in this author's work though so I have to say it was worth reading. 3/5 stars
