Sleigh bells ring—are you listening?

It’s that time of year again, and we have the perfect way to get you in the mood: A free anthology! Five holiday stories that are guaranteed to warm your heart, heat up your cold nights, and most importantly: Make your yuletide gay.

A Christmas Party to Remember by Nicky Spencer

Last Christmas, Cory and Wes made a connection that left them both thanking Santa. But when Cory doesn’t show up for their first date, Wes swears he won’t make that mistake again. This year, can Santa’s magic find a way to bring them back together?

Let’s Not Go Crazy by Stephen Hoppa

The holidays are stressful enough without Ethan’s boyfriend Nate trying to kill him with Christmas cheer. But Nate’s found a whole new way to torture Ethan when he reveals that he wants kids. Will their conflicting desires tear their relationship apart, or will they find a way to ring in the new year stronger than ever?

Captain Jack and the Snack Attack by Addison Albright

Two men determined to win the same treasure at a charity silent auction, a wayward kitten, grumbling tummies, and a dilemma: what’s the correct gift-giving etiquette for a first date that’s mere days before Christmas, and what could possibly go awry with this merry combination?

The Christmas Day Date by Nell Iris

One rainbow Christmas tree in harm’s way and an afternoon spent eating far too many cookies, equals two men with changed holiday plans. But how does that translate into a date?

The Year of the Monkey by Amy Tasukada

The last thing Aoi wants to do for New Year’s is spend it with his boyfriend's parents. They were far from thrilled when their son came out. Can Aoi warm their hearts making traditional mochi or will they end up in an even stickier situation?

A Christmas Party to Remember by Nicky Spencer
This was such a cute story. I really liked Wes and while I wasn't sure about Cory at first, what with him not meeting Wes at the place he'd asked him to go for their first date, but once it all was explained, I was fully on board with them getting a second chance at connecting. Even with this book being so short, I could feel their connection and I was definitely rooting for their HEA. 

4 Stars!

Let’s Not Go Crazy by Stephen Hoppa
While Let's Not Go Crazy is a continuation of another story by Stephen Hoppa that I haven't read, there's enough background information so the reader won't be too lost. I really liked seeing how Ethan and Nate worked through their issue, in this case, Nate wanting kids and Ethan telling him he doesn't want any, and finding a way so the two could be happy. It was a very sweet story. 

4 Stars! 

Captain Jack and the Snack Attack by Addison Albright
I would've wished for this book to be longer, as it was, I felt it ended too abruptly and while there was obviously some chemistry between Kenton and Gordie, I was just beginning to warm up to them when the story ended. I do hope Ms. Albright will consider expanding it in the future because I thought it had tons of potential. 

3.5 Stars!

The Christmas Day Date by Nell Iris
This was such a sweet, feel-good story. I felt it was a bit confusing at first, but it didn't take me long to be swept away into Julius and Lenny's story. They were perfect for each other and I loved seeing them give themselves a chance at starting something.

4 Stars!

The Year of the Monkey by Amy Tasukada
This was such a sweet continuation to Aoi and Sato's story. It was lovely that, even knowing that Sato's mother didn't exactly like him, Aoi would make the effort of going to spend New Year's with Sato's family, because it was what Sato wanted. It doesn't hurt that I really like Sato and Aoi together. *winks* 

Overall: 4 Stars!!!

Overall, this was a pretty solid anthology, all the stories were enjoyable and just perfect to cuddle up on a cold afternoon. Very recommendable!
