Rachel Bailey opens up the anthology with
a warm and beautifully written story. In it we meet Maddy and Samuel who have
been separated after things did not work out between. Maddy wanted more than
Samuel was willing to give in their relationship. However when Maddy arrives on
the secluded island where Samuels resides sparks fly and things heat up between
them pretty fast.

Elyse left Queensland to become a lawyer
ten years ago. She left everything behind when she moved and that includes her
boyfriend, Brett. When she returns to her home town Brett is still around.
However, the Elyse that left is not the same person who has returned. Would
these two past lovers renew their relationship and get the happy ever after
they deserve? An engaging story full of trying times as Elyse and Brett work
out the edges lingering between them...

I enjoy reading stories written by Kandy
Shepherd. Her books are always warm, emotional and entertaining. This short
story is no different. In this Christmas short story we meet Carly a chef and
Dylan. They parted four years ago under strained circumstances but now Carly is
home for Christmas and the most unlikely candidate reunites her with Dylan…a
cat named Morris. I enjoyed this one!
Her Small-Town Christmas Wish Jennifer St George
Fear can make people do things they never thought they do. For Giselle, fear sent her running away from home at just 16, never to return. But now she’s made it big. She’d become a pop singer. She lives in London and everything seemed to be going well for her. So she returns back to the place she’d left behind and it is back on home ground does Giselle realize that she needs closure from what had spun her into making that drastic choice when she’d been a teen and who better to help her than her closest friend, Jake?

Overall, the
stories in Hot Christmas Nights were well-written, entertaining and deeply
emotional. So I suggest you sit back, relax and enjoy.
Highly Recommended
