Three blazing HOT stories in one!

All He Wants for Christmas by Jill Shalvis
Cristina is a firefighter whose hot for EMT Dustin. Problem is, she doesn't want anything serious, but he wants commitment. (How's that for fiction!)
I liked this one--Dustin is "geeky" with thick glasses and all and it made me like his character more. Cristina and Dustin are HOT together. I liked the story...it was quick and steamy.

My Grown-Up Christmas List by Jacquie D'Alessandro
Toni isn't interested in firefighters, but Brad lights her fire. She wants to focus on her fledgling flower shop, but Brad keeps coming into the store and distracting her. She finally gives in to one dinner, which turns into more.
This is my favorite of the 3 stories. It is super steamy and is well developed for a short story.

Up on the Housetop by Jamie Sobrato
Lorelei returns to her hometown to face her past--Ryan. He broke her heart in high school and she is trying to let it go and move on. Problem is, he wants her to stay.
My least favorite of the 3 stories. Something just didn't work for me. It was okay, but...
