Of the four novellas, Sarah MacLean's angsty second-chance romance (with the lightest touch on the shortbread) was my favorite. These are tonally very different, with Dare's lighthearted and sweet, MacLean's angsty AF, Jordan's borderline fated mates and Scottish hijinks, and Shupe's... Oh Shupe. Only Shupe could make me root for the boss starting an "affair" (closet bang) with his "married" (single and virginal) employee amidst the stressiest holiday dinner party on the planet. This was a fun holiday anthology!
