This is a collection of short stories by amazing authors that takes place in Winter Falls. It is a great way to immerse yourself in some super steamy, insta love, holiday reads. These are the ones I have read so far but I intend to go back and read them all because they are so cute and fun.

Lincoln and Bethenny by Fiona Davenport
Lincoln is traveling to Winter Falls to spend Christmas at his friend’s parents house but a turn of bad luck has him delayed, missing his rental car, no hotel room, and stranded in a blizzard. This bad luck seems to turn into good luck when he finds a house that not only has a generator but the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Bethenny is the mayor of Winter Falls and has a heart of gold especially when she decides to help a complete stranger take shelter in her home. Their attraction is instantaneous and they can’t fight it at all so they decide to let things play out. The steam is off the charts, their connection is instant, and they fall easily for each other. This was such a steamy yet cute read and a great way to introduce us to Winter Falls.

Nicholas and Quinn by Frankie Love:
Nicholas has left his family behind to spend a Christmas away from their meddling and conniving ways so he has rented a cabin in Winter Falls. He decides to place call for a delivery of groceries what he doesn’t expect is to find an instant attraction to the other voice on the phone. Quinn helps her grandfather run their local market and when she gets a phone call from a sexy sounding man asking for a (wink wink) big package she knows she just has to make this delivery. Getting stuck during the blizzard with a stranger isn’t what either one expects but things really heat up and they can’t seem to stop their instant love they find. These two were really steamy and instantly fell hard, I loved it!

Gavin and Tory by Rochelle Paige:
These two are one of my favorites because their attraction may be instant but there seems to be something deeper to them. Gavin helps Tory in two different situations and being stranded in a snow patrol safe haven isn’t what they expected but it does bring them closer together. As things heat up they can’t deny what is happening between them and neither of them want to let it go. Tory’s ex best friend has caused her trouble and I was glad to get to see that closure and the way Gavin also stood up with her. These two are perfect for each other.

Hot, snow-sizzling insta-love anthology
5 stars

Who doesn’t love a Christmas anthology chock-full of festive tales? If you do, and insta-love is your thing, too, then you’re going to adore this fun and sexy anthology.

We start off with an all-encompassing overview of the residents of and visitors to the small mountain resort town of Winter Falls. An unprecedented snowstorm is on its way and there’s mischief afoot. It seems like 9 couples will be finding themselves snowed in together during this blizzard.

The stories we get are by:
by
Elle Christensen
Brynne Asher
Lucy Darling
Fiona Davenport
Hope Ford
Layla Frost
Ella Goode
Frankie Love
Rochelle Paige

The stories are named for the characters and don’t (at the moment at least) have other titles.

Every single story was quick, cosy, festive and really did make you wish to be snuggled up by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows. I’m always happy to read Christmas stories and I just adore it when they give you that delightful, magical festive feeling inside!

These are all insta-love stories so many of our couples have not met each other prior to getting snowed in together somewhere in Winter Falls. Understandably, the connections are instant and the relationships progress at light speed. And we still get happy endings that are more than satisfying.

And speaking of satisfying - these stories are hot enough to melt the snow. They are fan-yourself delicious and exactly what I was hoping for from these authors and an insta-love anthology.

I’ve read most of the authors in this collection before but there are a few that are new to me. I’ll definitely be taking a look at other stories from them. While each story was similar in many ways - snowed in, insta-love, often a virgin involved, they were all different enough to keep things interesting. I honestly enjoyed each and every story in this set and will happily recommend this anthology to anyone who loves any of the authors involved or just wants a Christmas, insta-love fest. It’s sexy, magical and such a fun read. Definitely 5 stars. ( )
