Red Hot Holiday: Wish List\I Need You for Christmas\Breath on Embers by K.A. Mitchell, Leah Braemel, and Anne Calhoun

DabneyA Reviews / B Reviews / C Reviews / Recommended Reads / Top Ten ListsAnthology / Carina Press / Christmas Stories16 Comments

I came to this holiday anthology in a non-traditional, non-festive way. During a Twitter conversation with another reviewer, I mentioned ménage scenes rarely raise my pulse. She suggested I read Anne Calhoun, an author I’d never heard of. I searched on NetGalley and this collection, Red Hot Holiday, came up. I ... more >

REVIEW: A Galactic Holiday Anthology by Stacy Gail, Sasha Summers, and Anna Hackett

Recommended Read

When looking around at the holiday offerings this year, I saw this anthology from Carina Press. It was a complete stab in the dark for me as I knew nothing about any of the authors and SF/futuristic usually isn’t my thing. Perhaps having no expectations allowed me to just read ... more >

REVIEW: Silent Night: A Lady Julia Christmas Novella by Deanna Raybourn

Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Genre: Holiday/Comedy/Romance Grade: B+ “Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.” I had resisted watching this movie until now due to what I feared would be a schmaltz fest of gooey, sugary pulling of heartstrings. But when another movie I ... more >

REVIEW: Claustrophobic Christmas by Ellie Marvel

JayneB+ ReviewsChristmas Stories / novella / road-romance / Samhain-publishing9 Comments

Dear Ms. Marvel, Why did I decide to try your novella? It sounded cute, it has a sorta Christmas-y theme, and …..well, that’s it, actually. Yes, I know it’s now after Christmas but it’s still the Holiday Season so I figure I’m still good. Right? Darcy Burkell and James Jones ... more >
