Are you looking for an interesting collection for Christmas to read? If so this is the collection for you. This follows 4 best friends making a bet who can have the most adventurous holiday. Who will fall in love? Who will win the bet? Will each friend get their own ?

Holiday Encounters is a box set of books one through three of the Holiday Encounters series by Amy Lamont. I have enjoyed this series so much and also went on to read book four which I dearly loved. I have reviewed these three books individually in more detail but here I will just give a brief overview.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE – Book one
We meet Emma Glover, an introvert who is more comfortable at home in her pj’s than going to the club with her three best friends and roommates. They are getting concerned for her so The Bet is introduced. Each of them must do something outside of their comfort zone.

Emma is a writer but writes under a pen name. Her alter ego is a wild child and her exploits are born from Emma’s fantasies. Emma is trying to live through her alter ego when she goes into the hotel bar intent on meeting a man. But then she sees him, a man she can’t look away from, and her world changes.

Nathaniel (Nate) Wilder is a billionaire but Emma has no idea who he is. A night of passion makes Emma hope that there might be more, that maybe Nate might want more. Will he, or is one night all there can be?

SNOWBOUND WITH THE BIKER – Book two

Katelyn Murphy is known as the nice girl. She will do anything to keep everyone around her happy. But she’s beginning to realize that she is being taken advantage of. She needs to make some changes and knows just where she wants to start.

Hunter Lawson was Katelyn’s next door neighbor growing up and her older brother’s best friend. She has loved him since she was eleven years old. He enlisted but she recently was told that he was back and working in a biker bar. So off Katelyn goes to change her destiny. To finally confront the man she has loved most of her life.

Katelyn convinces Hunter to take her with him on the back of his bike when he needs to go up the mountain to check on a friend’s cabin. A freak snow storm strands them together in the cabin and forces them to finally face their feelings for each other.

GETTING LUCKY WITH THE ROCK STAR – Book three
Paige is both in medical school and working at a hospital. She is on the go non-stop. She can’t help but feel that this isn’t what she thought it would be like. Paige had met rock star Jared Sloane on the night that Emma had met her billionaire. She and Jared began a secret relationship out of the eyes of the paparazzi. For Paige, her time with Jared was a reprieve from her chaotic life. But then something happens at her work that makes her need to take a step back and regroup. Jared offers the best way, for her to go with him on a short one week promotional tour when she is on spring break.

Paige and Jared enjoy the time of their lives but for Paige, it’s just a short vacation before she has to return to real life. Or could it be more?

All three of these books were so much fun. I have really enjoyed getting to know these women and the men they are falling in love with. As I said, I went on to read book four, Summer With The Soldier and loved Jade and Logan’s story so much. You can’t go wrong with this series. They are all sweet, sexy and perfect to snuggle up with on these cold nights.

These are the first books I’ve read from this author and I really enjoyed them! Fun characters, cute stories with just enough depth to them to give you a unique sense of each character, and good plot variety with a good dose of sexy time. I must read Jades story now!
