4 Heart Review by Ashley
span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is something so magical about Christmastime in New York City. So when I saw this collection with holiday romances set in my town, I knew I had to give them a read. And let me tell you this anthology gave me the wonder and joy that I know exists here this time of year.
STRANGERS IN THE CITY
JA Low is a totally new to me author and this title was steamy and shocking from the first page.
Even with the crap circumstances they met under, their attraction was instant. I adored Callie and her spirit. I hated what happened to her but was so glad that Rhys was there because holy hotness that man breathes power and authority. I loved how he stepped up and in to help Callie. And she returned the favor in turn. But jealously and resentment weren't far away and threw a wrench is what they had been building... SANTA'S SLAYINGS
Andrea Bills is another new to me author but holy crap! Yes, there was some romance but this one was a lot of mystery-thriller (which I LOVE).
Both Lorilie and Beryl were strong characters. Determined not to let the twisted "Santa" killer strike again. It was a whirlwind of trying to stay two steps ahead and put the pieces of the puzzle with uneven edges together. And through it all, they showed each other sides to themselves that most didn't know. Lorilie's inner strength was revealed as was Beryl's tender hand. I also really enjoyed that this took place not in present times. It was fun to experience the city in an unknown to me era. PINING
It is no secret that I am BIG Stephanie Rose fan. So getting to see the kids all grown up is a true treat. And yes, all the parents make an appearance!
I really liked Victoria. I saw so much of her parents in her. Her strength. Her kindness. Her take no prisoners attitude. Her tender heart that yearned for Anthony. HOLY HOTNESS!! That man, and he is indeed all man, was her perfect match. If only he would get out of his own way. BELIEVE AND IT WILL HAPPEN
Ginni Conquest is another new to me author (reason 374 I love anthologies). Maddy and Lukas' story couldn't have happened without a spunky kid. The imagery was so vivid, I could see myself in the North Pole at the store. Throw in two fabulous best friends and a meddling Santa and it was the perfect holiday wish come true.
**
Full of whimsy and charm the Mistletoe Over Manhattan is a recipe for Christmas delight. Each story was like reading a Hallmark movie- a little predictable but even so, I wasn't able to stop reading. And best of all, most of the stories are open ended so my fingers are crossed that all of these characters will pop up in the future!
