Armchair Reader: ….If Only In My Dreams
Posted by Silver James in On Being a Writer, tags: books, review, TuesdayI’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is a wonderful holiday anthology starring novellas from four of romance’s hottest authors. From Amazon:
LINDA LAEL MILLER delivers a holiday miracle in the bittersweet tale of a young woman who can’t hide her broken heart — or her past — when she returns to her hometown. But a sexy widower may just help her discover the true meaning of home in “Christmas of the Red Chiefs.”
CATHERINE MULVANY spins a fairy tale come true in “Once Upon a Christmas.” They flirted as teenagers, but it takes time — and some divine intervention — to bring two star-crossed lovers together at last.
JULIE LETO pairs fire and ice in “Meltdown,” the sensual tale of a Cuban-American PR whiz whose job description includes thawing out her CEO boss’s frosty image. Will their sparks torch into flames of passion?
ROXANNE ST. CLAIRE unwraps the thrills of Christmas in New York, where a female bodyguard toys with a dangerous desire for a mysterious hunk while protecting his young daughter. It’s a risky game with passion as the prize in “You Can Count on Me.”
Each tale is different and very much written in the author’s individual style. Linda’s is sweet and sentimental. I’m not familiar with Catherine but I enjoyed her Christmas fairy tale. Julie’s writing is…always hot! *fans self* And Rocki always puts me on the edge of my seat right before she tucks the H/H into bed. 
This is a novella based on her Bullet Catchers. If you are a fan, this is a must addition to your collection. All in all, if you need or want a good book to read as you curl up on a long winter’s eve? This is a good one.

Now, I know why it is so hard to find; it is on Jules’s backlist. I have to get it though. I didn’t read what you wrote about the book because I don’t want to get my hopes up. I will be visiting thriftbooks.com again, so I will add it to my TBB list. Have a great day Silver.
Peace and love,

Paula, I’ve lost your mailing address. *headdesk* Will you email me with it again? Thanks!
This book was great to read in line and around holiday “chores”.
Will do! So how does the tree look? Make sure you take pics so that we can all see the finished product okay. I didn’t tell you this, but I joined my local RWA chapter. I went to the first meeting last week, and it was a blast. AND to top it off…Jessica Andersen, author of that wonderful Nightkeepers series about the Mayan Long Count Calendar prediction, I know too many words, spoke about World Building. She is such a dynamic speaker. It was AWESOME! Have a great day today. Tell The Only and LG that I said hello and Merry Christmas.
Peace and love,

Oh, Paula! That’s wonderful. And Jess IS amazing. She’s a totally cool person, too, beyond her incredible writing skills.
I loved this book! I actually got it for the Bullet Catcher story and found that as a bonus I got one of Julie’s stories. I had never read the other two authors until this book and loved them both. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
That’s the whole reason I read anthologies, Liza! Sometimes I get lucky and discover a new-to-me author! Merry Christmas!
I think I have it but it would have been for Julie’s story. LOL I have to go look. It’s usually spring before I get to any Xmas anthologies in my pile- no time to read- although I did get and read the new Xmas story from Debbie MacComber. Not a Goodness, Shirley and Mercy book, but it was cute!
