Tis the Season Darcy Burke Erica Ridley Emma Locke Books

The stories are, thankfully short. I read this book once and nothing can compel me to read it in its entirety again, The stories are too short to develop the story fully, and I was not interested enough to re-read this book when stories were referenced in other short stories. Sorry, but this was not my cup of tea

Tis the Season Darcy Burke Erica Ridley Emma Locke Books Reviews

Tis the Season by Darcy Burke, Erica Ridley and Emma Locke is an Intrepid Reads publication. This book was released in October 2013. I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a Christmas themed anthology with three novellas. There is something here for everyone. The first story by Darcy Burke is a contemporary romance. "Where the Heart Is" is set in Oregon in December. Chloe has moved here to get away from her controlling mother and out of the social climbing rat race. She broke up with her workaholic fiancé and hopes to have a more peaceful lifestyle.
Right away though she gets knocked for loop. Thankfully, a handsome man comes to her rescue.

Midwinter Magic by Erica Ridley is a fantasy novella.
Jack Morgan was once on the Fortune 500 list. But, those days are long gone. Now he is more or less a wanderer. At the moment he is in Bolivia. Instead of limos and private jets he is handing out Christmas gifts to kids that are beyond poverty. But, Jack's world really tips over on it's axle when he comes face to face with his guardian angel- Sarah Phimm.

The Last story by Emma Locke is "The Cheer in Charming the Earl". This one is a historical romance.
Elinor Conley is still in search of a husband. When she spies Grantham Wendell, The Earl of Chelford, she just knows he is the one.
So, now she must somehow put herself in his path. Her scheme could ruin her reputation, cause her to lose the Earl, and maybe even her life.

All three of these stories are different from the usual Christmas anthologies. Three genres in one book, sweet and spicy, all with HEA and Christmas Cheer!
Over all this one is a B+
Blah, never really got into these. I usually love Christmas short stories but these didn't grab my interest. They were really simplistic.
TIS THE SEASON is a brand new anthology from authors Darcy Burke, Erica Ridley and Emma Lock. Most anthologies seem to focus on the same genre, but what I found fun and entertaining about this anthology is that all three stories are rooted in different genres, and each takes the reader into a completely different world.

In Darcy Burke's WHERE THE HEART IS, a contemporary romance, we meet Derek Sumner, the odd-man-out in the crazy Archer family, and Chloe English, a woman down on her luck during the holidays, looking for a fresh start in the beautiful wine country of Oregon. Sparks immediately flare between the two and continue to grow throughout the story, even amidst meddling sextuplets, a raging house fire, and a pub filled with colorful characters that could put Cheers to shame. Smart, sexy and touching, WHERE THE HEART IS is a fabulous introduction to Darcy Burke's new contemporary Ribbon Ridge Series. While Darcy Burke is well-known for her sexy historicals, you'll want to make sure you don't miss her foray into contemporary romance, because it's fantastic. Clever writing, relatable characters and and a place anyone would like to call home make this a "don't miss read". I can't wait until the first full length Ribbon Ridge book releases next year!

In Erica Ridley's MIDWINTER MAGIC, we move from contemporary to fantasy. But this isn't your parents' Tolkien fantasy. No, this is guardian angel, tooth fairy, and Mother Earth fantasy. And it's absolutely adorable! Jack Morgan is a former money-hungry CEO looking to make amends for his greedy ways by traveling to destitute parts of the world at Christmas, delivering toys and repairing worn buildings in weather-damaged third-world villages. Sarah Phimm (yes, you read that right) is his guardian angel working tirelessly to keep him alive in some of the more dangerous places he's decided to visit. Unfortunately, Sarah's not always at the top of her game, and when Jack inadvertently runs into her in the middle of a road in Bolivia, she has no choice but to finally show herself. What follows is a hilarious and ironic turn of events that draw Jack and Sarah closer together and leave the reader smiling. If you like a little humor and whimsy in your holiday romance, MIDWINTER MAGIC is for you!

And finally, THE CHEER IN CHARMING AN EARL by Emma Locke is the historical addition to this anthology. Elinor Conley is searching for a husband, and she's got Grantham Wendell, the Earl of Chelford, directly in her sights. Unbeknownst to Elinor though, Grantham is quite the rake, and the poor country girl is so isolated from society that she hasn't heard even a whisper about his wild Christmas parties...until she finds herself right smack in the middle of one. For those who like light historicals, THE CHEER IN CHARMING AN EARL is a good addition to your reading list and rounds out this wonderful holiday anthology.
