Neither BJ Daniels nor Reese Ryan have ever disappointed me reading wise. All the books sound interesting but Marcella Bell’s Hannukah themed SNOWBOUND IN HER BOSS’S BED stands out since there are relatively few books that celebrate holidays other than Christmas.

All of the holiday books look good. I especially want to read the anthology Regency Christmas Parties. I like reading historicals and learning about the clothing, customs, obligations, and traditions from that period.
Patricia B.
B. J. Daniels is a favorite author and I always look forward to her books. CHRISTMAS RANSOM sounds like it has all her trademark elements. Harlequin Intrigue and Suspense along with their Historicals are favorites. His Christmas Guardian by Cindy Dees sounds like a good suspenseful read. REGENCY CHRISTMAS PARTIES anthology will fit very nicely with my reading. The authors are favorites and I always keep anthologies handy. When busy, they are the best solution when I just need a good read but don’t have much time.
