Holiday Spice (Hot Holiday Reads Book 1) - Short Fuse

*Book source ~ A review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

 

This Christmas anthology contains 17 spicy stories in the contemporary, fantasy, paranormal and sci-fi genres. While the majority of these are well-written and edited/proofread, there are a few that seem to have fallen through the cracks (they are noted). I must also note that while I rarely read contemporary anymore there are several in this anthology that I find quite delicious.
