I love Christmas Stories. And I love Christmas story collections. The holidays are so busy that I often don't have time for a longer read. These shorter reads keep me in the spirit.
In the spirit of giving, this blog is giving away an ebook each of Sizzle in the Snow and of Mistletoe, Marriage and Mayhem and A Very Alpha Christmas
 using Rafflecopter. Just leave a comment saying which one you would like to win. Happy Holidays

Below are sneak peek of the anthologies.
