Everything you need for a cozy read.You’ll devour each of these winter reads down to the last page.The previously released stories available in this collection are:One Holiday WishCollared for ChristmasStolen Mistletoe Kisses
Kisses and Wishes is an anthology composed of three holiday-themed short stories from bestselling author Willow Winters. These are previously released stories, but since I’ve never read them in the past, I dove in and spent the next hour or so enjoying three quickie reads that will warm anyone up in what’s already becoming chilly weather. All three stories proved to be entertaining and all standalones. I averaged my rating to four stars for the collection.
The first story is One Holiday Wish, which is about Carla and Michael. They were high school sweethearts who split up in college because of the distance only to become on-again, off-again hook-ups who were never really interested in being with anyone else except each other. This was both sweet and steamy with some comic relief courtesy of Carla’s best friend. Carla and Michaels’ story was a good start to the the anthology and is my favorite.
The second story is Collared for Christmas, which is about Joshua and Alena, who were a couple about ten years ago but parted ways. When Joshua learns that Alena is now in the same city as him, he decides the time has come for him to do a bit of pushing to get her to realize that she is, indeed, the perfect submissive. These two had strong chemistry and if the title hasn’t clued you in, this was a second chance romance with BDSM elements. So steamy!
The third story is Stolen Mistletoe Kisses, which features Vinny and Cary Ann. She’s the proverbial good girl and he’s the bad boy everyone warned her about. This had a rom-com feel to it, with some steamy sexy times thrown into the mix. This was also the longest story among the three and I think it gave a fitting end to the collection as a whole. The only hiccup would be the use of the nickname “Cherry” in the last two shorts, but nothing overly major.
I have been a huge fan of Willow for quite awhile. She is easily a one click author. I enjoyed this as they were brief stories. I especially loved Vinnie and Cary Ann. I hope you also enjoy this quick little holiday special.
If you’re looking for some jam-packed stories full of naughty and nice with sizzling doses of everything in between to get you into the “mood,” look no further than Ms. Winters “Kisses and Wishes.”
Three blazing, heartfelt all alpha male insta Holiday romances with Willow’s signature flair- are ready for your eyes to feast upon while your imagination wanders off to sultry second chances~ domineering beginnings and falling in love while righting wrongs. It doesn’t get much better than that!
A spectacular complication I would read any time of the year!

This was 3 novellas that are Christmas themed it was well written and the author does a nice job as usual on her stories. I don’t read many Christmas books but I did like these and they were nicely done.
Three short, sweet, fun and totally sexy stories written by master story teller Willow Winters. The whole book can be read and enjoyed in one sitting. All three stories have a second chance premise and each one has a happily ever after. Great quick read. Ms. Winters has done it again, she never lets her readers down.
“Kisses and Wishes” a trio of charming holiday themed stories in varying lengths. “One Holiday Wish” Carla runs her family’s bakery and wouldn’t have it any other way but she has one wish. She wishes that Michael would come back home and settle down if he did maybe they’d marry and raise their own little family. Will Carla get her holiday wish? “Collared” with Joshua and Alena lightly explore the world of dominance and submission as they try for their second chance at love. “Stolen Mistletoe Kisses” Vinny and Cari Ann have the same idea of what they want to do with the holiday profits at the toy store where Cari Ann works. But they are planning separately and neither one is aware of the others plot. There’s a wee bit of a Robin Hood vibe afoot here. How will they make their very different plans work and will they be able to come together both in helping the orphanage and in life? These three little stories were each unique and quite entertaining should enhance your holidays! I received an advanced copy to read and can’t wait for the next Willow Winters book to release.
Willow Winters has released a compilation of short stories to give you a quick fix of holiday cheer. I’m not usually one to read Christmas themed book or short stories but coming from this author was just too enticing. I dove it and quickly devoured them all.
>Holiday Wish< This is a very quick read and the characters waste no time getting their party for two started. Carla and Michael have been long-distance, on-again off-again for years, but now that Michael is coming home, things don't stay undecided and unknown for long. Their secret affair adds some spice to the story and all is revealed in short order. Holiday Wish was a fun, feel-good story with some signature Willow steam. >Collared for Christmas< Willow delivers the desire and steam as Joshua and Alena reunite after ten years. He's become a confide Dom who is ready to show Alena the path to her submissive side. Collared for Christmas is a seductive second-chance BDSM story and I enjoyed the quick pace and commanding personality of Joshua. >Stolen Mistletoe Kisses< Mistletoe, Christmas, and kisses go together like toys and children. I loved the theme of Stolen Mistletoe Kisses. Willow brought out the spirit of Christmas giving with romance in the crisp winter air. Vinny and Cary Ann share more than a desire to do what's right for the local orphanage, they also share a desire for each other and kisses under the mistletoe. This was a feel good story with a happy ending, in more ways than one!
Don’t be afraid of long and cold winter nights ahead of you! Ms. Winters has found just the right antidote with this fantastic collection of romantic and sizzling-hot short stories!
One Holiday Wish
I don’t know how Ms. Winters captures the emotions and the tension of a full-length romance in just four chapters of a short story but she does it brilliantly…
Hot passion alternates with deep emotions and a sprinkling of excitement, and makes me wish this novella would be a full-length romance telling us EVERYTHING about the protagonists!
—————————————————————————————————————–
Collared For Christmas
I LOVED this kinky novella!!
Ten years is a long time to discover and admit one’s sexual preferences. But once Alena realizes what she craves for all bets are off…
Alena and Joshua’s story is sweet and tender, kinky and sizzling-hot, just the right mix for a cold winter night!
—————————————————————————————————————–
Stolen Mistletoe Kisses
Vinny and Cary Ann… their story is the PERFECT blend of romance, suspense and naughtiness. Both protagonists unknowingly work towards the same goal, namely to help the local orphanage. But it takes some misunderstanding and some twists and turns to make them realize it…
This is the perfect conclusion to this collection of holiday short stories!
Absolutely devoured this short read in one sitting. You have three stories ranging from second chances to finding love.
I love this sweet and steamy collection of Holiday short stories! Three Holiday novellas in one collection.
There’s nothing I love more than a Christmas story. Willow gives us THREE different Christmas novellas wrapped up in one package; One Holiday Wish, Collared for Christmas, and Stolen Mistletoe Kisses.
All three of these stories have their naughty and nice moments.. some more than others. But all three stories are unique and put you right in the Christmas spirit.
I love Willows writing and she really made me shout with glee after reading this holiday collection. Willow is the gift that keeps on giving.
I really liked this collection of three really great short stories. Loved Carla and Michael in One Holiday Wish, Alena and Joshua in Collared for Christmas and Cary Ann and Vinny in Stolen Mistletoe Kisses. Read all three in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed all of these quite a bit. This author does not disappoint at all in any story.
