Kissing Under the Mistletoe
by Suzanne Enoch, Amelia Grey & Anna Bennett

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Three Christmas romances are included this collection. In "Great Scot", Jane feels that she is invisible and too old for love. But Brennan offers her a lot more than a drawing of her dream library. In "Christmas at Dewberry Hollow", Isabelle refuses to believe that this time a man will stay in Dewberry Hollow for her. But she will enjoy her time with Gate while she can. In "My Mistletoe Beau", Eva must begin a fake courtship with Jack in order to rescue her father's watch.

I read this book during winter in Sydney. It certainly helped to warm me up! I adored every story and every couple - though their romances were short, it all felt very believable to me. And all three authors knew perfectly well how to use the shorter length to their advantage - not once did I feel like the stories were missing anything. I've actually just gone and bought the other MacTaggert stories, because I really quite enjoyed "Great Scot".

From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back
by Various

A collection of short stories that follow the plot around The Empire Strikes Back, featuring minor characters as well as invented ones, those who aren't the major heroes or villains and don't impact the galaxy in a big way.

I really enjoyed these stories. A few authors got very creative with formatting and I'm still thinking about some of the characters the next day after finishing the book. The authors either delivered or didn't, but that applies to all the stories in any given anthology, really. The best stories didn't use a major supporting character extensively. My favourite is definitely "A Good Kiss" by C. B. Lee. And while I wasn't enthused by "There Is Always Another" by Mackenzie Lee, I did cheer madly when Siri Tachi went back into canon.
