Together he and Dorsey were to get Burke’s new charter business off the ground, but with no Dorsey, Burke has no help. But Dorsey promises him that his granddaughter, Kamala (Kam) knows her way around a boat and is on her way to help out.  Watch as Kam and Burke are making waves while getting to know one another and reaching for their dreams…

Set the sunny seas this Christmas with Donna Kauffman and her exciting story, Making Waves.  Burke and Kam heat up the winter with explosive emotions and sizzling chemistry.  Snuggle in for an endearing ride to romance.

LET IT SNOW ~ Nancy Warren
Marisa Langley, WLPX weathergirl gets stranded on the rooftop of her employers business with her cameraman, Rob Sheridon.  Not only does Rob despise her, but also the temperature is below freezing and they are in for a blizzard. Marisa would rather be anywhere else than in the middle of a snowstorm and dealing with Rob. But soon, after being called a tootsie and worse than malaria, Marisa realizes Rob’s true feelings and suddenly things aren’t so cold anymore…

Nancy Warren writes a humorous, yet endearing tale of two people who have fought their attraction as long as possible.  Throw in blistering weather, sassy and fun dialogue and passion between Rob and Marisa and it’s the perfect recipe for love with only the hope for snow to put out the flames!

YOU, ACTUALLY ~ Erin McCarthy
Josh Black and Cassidy St. George have been best friends for fifteen years. In that time they have told each other a lot and have always been there for one another.  But Josh has kept a huge secret from Cassidy – he’s loved her for as long as he’s known her.  Finally though this Christmas, Josh plans to tell Cassidy just how he feels.  But Cassidy doesn’t realize in his telling her how he feels, that she’s the girl he is talking about. How will Josh finally show Cassidy that he can’t live without her?

Erin McCarthy enchants her reader with You, Actually.  It is true that the best marriages/partnerships have begun with friendship and the author proves it with Josh and Cassidy.  With heart-warming scenes and even a few funny moments, You, Actually warms up a readers heart with a real happily ever after.

UNDERCOVER CLAUS ~ MaryJanice Davidson
Corrine Bullwinkle is not a happy jolly Santa this Christmas. With her latest undercover assignment, catching a purse-snatcher, she is standing on a street corner ringing a Salvation Army bell.  Little did Corrine know that her job as “Santa” would bring UK businessman, Grant into her life, whose unpleasant job doesn’t exactly warrant holiday cheer.

What a hoot!  In the snappy dialogue and exciting energy that comes with any MaryJanice Davidson story, Undercover Claus is a wonderful contribution to this anthology. With great characters and hurdles to overcome, this story shows real Christmas spirit and it’s splendidly done through heart and humour.

SILVER BELLA ~ Lucy Monroe
Runway model, Bella Jackson always anticipated her time in the spotlight. But when her ex-boyfriend sells their story to the tabloids – labeling her as frigid – Bella isn’t so anxious to walk out on the runway in front of hundreds of people. But Bella soon forgets her nervousness when she sees a handsome stranger across the room.  Should she dare hope that she’s found a silver lining to her troubles?

Ah, romance as only Lucy Monroe does it!  Experience the joy, passion and heartfelt emotions when two people meet and change their lives forever. Christmas is a time of family, bonds and new beginnings. All of this is depicted beautifully in Silver Bells. Bella and Jake are great characters and I’d love to see more of them someday!

SNOW DAY ~ Susanna Carr
Tyler Stevens and Karen Price had other ideas for Christmas and being snowbound in a crowded house was not one of them.  Tyler has been attracted to Karen for a while and is determined she’ll spend the night in his arms. Only Karen has other plans. She plans to spend the night in her boyfriend Corey’s arms and bring their relationship to the next level.  However, when the power goes out from the storm, Karen gets and eye-opening surprise that will forever alter her life.

A wonderfully warm romance to warm up a Snow Day is this tale by Susanna Carr. Tyler is a scrumptious male who sees what he wants and will do whatever to obtain it.  Thankfully fate has a hand in accomplishing his goal.  Karen and Tyler being friends and then lovers make this story more heartfelt and interesting. Readers will feel for Karen and hope others will see her for who she truly is. A great romance to round out this anthology!

Merry Christmas, Baby represents all that is endearing and wonderful at Christmas. It also shows the powerful talent of these six authors. With a little something for everyone – humour adventure and real heartfelt emotions, this anthology should be on everyone’s Christmas list this year.  Buy it for a loved one, an online pal or even for yourself – it’s a feel good kind of purchase that will keep on giving all year long!
