The spirit of giving
I purchased this book for the Breeds story, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the other books along the way.
Stroke of Enticement by Nalini Singh
What’s up teach
This sly cat loves to play, luckily his human mate loves to indulge him. The author put so much detail into this short story that it felt like a full length novel. I love the growth of the characters and that we got to visit with the pack again. There were so many layers to their love story and I throughly enjoyed peeling back each one. This book was a fantastic read and I can’t wait to see what happens next with this band of playful cats.

Sweet Dreams by Linda Winstead Jones
Dreaming of a better life
This author did a fantastic job of spinning her tale! I love the characters, even the annoying tie dyed hippie who seems to have the best luck. They seemed so real and the way they quickly grew together was the perfect holiday romance. The taste of danger, the woowoo, and the past added that extra bit of spice and kept me entertained until the HEA. This was a wonderful addition to the collection and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.

Christmas Heat by Lora Leigh
Finished with waiting
I think this is one of my favorite couples to find love in the Breeds series. I love her sweet innocence! You can feel it in her joy of a snow storm, the loss of her friends, the joy of holiday giving, and the love of her man. And what a man he is. So long in denial, but when it matters most he will never let go. I love watching these two find their HEA, and I especially enjoyed watching the traitor meet their fate. This is a fantastic holiday story and I can’t wait to read it again next year.

Very nice Christmas anthology. Nalini Singh and Lora Leigh’s stories were my favorites out of the four, but all of them were good.
This review is only for Stroke of Enticement by Nalini Singh.
This was a fun novella in the world of the Psy-Changelings. I really enjoyed this one because it’s the first human-changeling relationship of the series.
Annie is a teacher for changeling children and has to call in the uncle of one of her students but what she doesn’t expect is to be instantly attracted to him.
The romance between Annie and Zack was quick and steamy. Zack instantly knows she is his mate. Most of this book takes place within 48 hours of them meeting but Singh does jump a month into their relationship for the conclusion. This jump is really important because we see that while happy Annie has a problem with commitment. I really enjoyed watching them work out their relationship.
This was a cute and sweet story. I hope this couple pops up in future books.
I’ve only read the Breeds portion of this anthology yet. This story overlapped a bit of the last book. I like how it told the climatic scene from the previous book from these characters perspectives. The story was a bit rushed due to it being such a short novella, however I did like the characters and their story line. I was shocked to see Alaiya come back so soon and so violently, but it’s nice to have some resolution there. I like how the Christmas season was woven into the story as well.
