A collection of heartwarming holiday stories from today's stars of passionate romance--Linda Lael Miller, Catherine Mulvany, Julie Leto, and Roxanne St. Claire!

Two stories were very good, and two I abandoned. In Christmas of the Red Chiefs, Sarah returns to her hometown with her pre-teen stepdaughter in tow, after her husband's untimely death. She's staying with an aunt, and across the street from widower Joe, and his twins who are constantly dressing as the "Red Chiefs". Thanks to the twins' antics, Delores and some good old tincture of time, Sarah's brokenness starts to heal. In once upon a Christmas, Hailey returns to her hometown. And her old flame Kennedy is there. But this year, his twin brother Thomas, is the one catching her eye. ( )

I only read the Roxanne St. Clair entry, which was a freebie on her site a couple of years ago.

I figured out whodunnit the minute s/he showed up. That the hero was ex-KGB and hadn't actually vetted that individual personally was TSTL. That the heroine allowed herself the distraction of the hero, in bed with him within hours of meeting him WHILE she was on HER FIRST job where she was trying to prove herself was TSTL. These two people are supposedly professionals.

Yes, it's a short story/novella. No, it doesn't get a pass on that basis. ( )

I purchaed this book specifically for this story. I'm a huge fan of St. Claire's and especially her Bullet Catcher Series. YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, is actually the third book her this series.

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE 2007 RITA AWARD!

Roxanne's characters are always full of heat, heart, spunk, charm and her latest bodyguard Raquel Durand is no exception. There is a scene in the limo with a sexy Russian and some vodka that will knock your socks off!

If you haven't read any of the series, here's a profile of Raquel from the author's website:

"Raquel Durant is about to get the promotion of her dreams. She's worked for three years as Lucy's right hand investigator, helping run The Bullet Catchers while she launched extensive background checks on suspects, tracked missing people and generally Made Things Happen like no one else. But Raquel is ready for field work and in December, she gets her first assignment. However, nothing about the "simple" job is simple...starting with the sexy fomer KGB agent who takes Raquel on a search for missing Faberge eggs and teaches her an entirely new technique for drinking vodka. And it doesn't involve...clothes. "

Again, Roxanne St.Claire has delighted this reader and fan of The Bullet Catchers! You won't want to miss this entertaining series.

You Can Count On Me is part of I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!
