Highly recommended for RH lovers. Definitely worth buying.
All stories were smutty as hell though, which I love. But I can't believe I'm saying this but wish the smut was less and there was a tad more of the relationship building.
Still all the stories were contemporary and its amazing how each story showed so much variety in setting and characters etc. RH rocks!
Here are my ratings for the ones I read:
- 4 stars for "The More the merrier". My fav in the bunch. I just loved the h. Sassy, unapologetic, sexy, hardworking and vulnerable in turns and great H's too.
- 4 stars for "Their Little Helper". My second fav. The h was just adorable and the Hs' situation so unusual. Plus that cliffhanger totally whetted my interest!
- 3.5 stars for "Study Break". The hottest in the bunch. I worried it was just a gang fest, but there were hints that the H's had been interested in the h for a while. Wish there was more build up on that part though.
- 2.75 stars for "Slopes of Sin". Great voice for h, but everything bad seemed to happen to her plus the H's manho-ness was too in the face and felt a bit trashy. Liked how the h had goals and wasn't a shrinking violet though!
- 2.5 stars for "Triple Kisses" . Interesting scenario. Loved the relationship btw h and her mom. But otherwise it all read weird. Didn't feel the passage of time or change in emotions in the Hs, like how they suddenly fell for the h
- 3 stars for "Snowflake". Interesting setting, but the climax felt overdramatic. A simple conversation would have solved it but instead it felt like one of those rom com movies' climaxes at the airport
- 3 stars for "Thief of Hearts". Probably the smartest of the bunch with great research and world-building about museums, Hanukkah etc. First time I ever read a Mossad agent as H. But the h was tstl and made stupid decisions again and again. Frustrating.
- 3 stars for "Sugar Plum Fairies" as I like reading about burlesque dancers. But I hated Killian and didn't like that the h pursued him.

Honestly, this anthology needs a SHITLOAD of rework. It's like no one edited it. There were typos galore, and honestly, of the stories I read, only a couple were any good. It's a shame, since these sorts of anthologies are meant to be a taster to find new authors to love, but I'm actually going to avoid some instead now...
I decided to read this for Love in a time of Feminism's month of reverse harem, and I am so glad that the full-length novels I've read since trying this turned out far better.

Blizzards and Bastards by C.M.Stunich 4.5 stars
Very typical story by C.M.Stunich. Similar to Groupie only much less depressing. I am usually not a fan of RH stories where it feels like the heroine chose/fell in love with the guys simply because she had no other alternatives, but in this case it did not bother me so much.
Slopes of Sin by Tate James 4 stars
I was not particularly enamored with the MC. I found her rude and too quick to judge. Also I did not like how she jumped into bed with 2 guys that only hours ago had sex with other girls.
And was it just me that got confused with the math of Olympics? If her third Olympics was at 19 (at that time she was in a committed relationship for three years since 16), then her first Olympics was when she was 11?
Frosted by My Billionaires by Amanda Rose 3.5 stars
I am not a big fan of billionaire romances, it was unclear to me why they needed a fake fiancee, and Gabriel's warming up could have been elaborated more on but other than that I liked it.
Snowflake by Cece Rose. 5 stars
It is not as easy as you would imagine to find a contemporary RH story without billionaires. This one is just perfect. A believable plot, likeable characters and great writing makes a story you want to read again.
Triple Kisses by G.Bailey 2 stars
So far this was the least interesting story in this anthology. The plot itself was not so bad but I found its execution severely lacking. There was only minimal relationship building that began after sex, so love was totally too soon. Everything was rushed. Also this was the first RH story I have read where different POVs added nothing to the story. Maybe if this was a full length novella, i.e. more interactions added, longer inner monologues etc. it could make half a decent story.
Visionary Christmas by Yumoyori Wilson. 3 stars
The story itself was better than 3 stars, but I could not give more because it lacked a beginning. It felt like (and probably was) a short novella between the books in the series where in the previous book the RH was formed. Therefore there was no character or relationship building, just interactions. It is well written and interesting enough but I was not rooting for any of the guys.
Study Break by Lucy Smoke 4 stars
A really nice story. Two things stopped me from giving 5 stars: it was more about sex and no character building (guys had very similar personalities) and the easiness with which Jamie became a dirty slut was not really believable. Some restraint or nice girl behavior would have been preferred.
Sugar Plum Fantasies by CB Morrigan 3 stars
If Visionary Christmas had no beginning, this story had no end. Maybe that was the point and there is or will be a continuation of the story but I found the wrap up lacking. I would even say that I do not consider the reverse harem formed at the point the story wrapped up. MC decided she would forgive the guys, did not even tell them that and I do not consider this a HEA. And a HEA is a must for me :-) Also I was not particularly happy with how the MC met the guys. It was way too close to prostitution to my liking, no matter how good her intentions were.
The Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina 4 stars
I struggled with this one mostly because of a detailed description of an auction curator's work, history etc. This is an interesting topic for me personally but it made the beginning of the story very dry. Also guys simply showed up and fell in love. I could say nothing about each each guy individually because there was simply no time for her to get to know them properly. Anyways, at least this one got me a HEA :-)
Avalanche of Desire by Bea Paige 4.5 stars
For some reason after reading the blurb I thought I will not like this story. Well, colour me surprised when I enjoyed the story and now think it is one of the best in this anthology. It would have gotten 5 stars had it been wrapped up instead of leaving it 'to be continued'.
Their Little Helper by N.R. Spratlin 3 stars
Huh? This was my reaction to the way this story ended (or did not end). All in all, it was more about bed than feelings, so I was disappointed.
The More the Merrier by K.B. Ladnier 3 stars
It is difficult to explain 3 stars for this story. I think the main reason is that I did not like the MC. She was too much of a man for me (which she admitted herself). So while the plot was okay, I just could not get into it.
Streets of Winter by Skye McKinnon 5 stars
I loved it! It would have been perfect if there were more details on the closure of the case, as now the wrap up was very abrupt. But still, I loved it!
Mary F*cking Christmas by Arizona Tape 3 stars
I am beginning to think something is wrong with me as once again I did not like the heroine. She was vain, rude and with poor impulse control. Also I am not a fan of Arizona Tape's writing style.
Sweet About Me by Laura Greenwood. 3.5 stars
This one had me in knots. The pace of the story changed too quickly - it was very slow, even close to boring, in the beginning but towards the end everything happened so quickly that it felt too rushed. At first I did not like Saffron but she grew on me as the story progressed. Having said that I did not agree with Evan about her not cheating. Yes, they were not exclusive yet, but at least one person in the harem (Cal) was unaware about another sex partner (Daniel) and that is the definition of cheating. Had they discussed this beforehand, sure, no problem, but as it was here was unacceptable in my eyes.
A Long Winter's Rest by Tracy Dawn 2 stars
My issue with this story from the beginning were stilted, unnatural conversations. And oh good Lord the way sex was introduced... very awkward writing style. If I was the heroine and Lucas spoke in exactly the same sentences I would die laughing. Same if I were Lucas. I cannot even begin to describe the conversation that took place after sex. Suffice to say I did not relate to the MC at all. DNF after three chapters.
Holly's Jolly Christmas by Raya Love 3.5 stars
At first I did not like the story as it did not fulfil the main criterion of reverse harem, i.e. the guys knew about each other but still this was more of a paralel dating than actual sharing ("Sweetheart, I don't care if you're dating every guy in this town, all I know is that I feel like the luckiest guy alive that I have the chance to take you out too"). It changed towards the end but still the writing style was not the one I enjoyed. It got rated relative to other stories although ai could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
There were some mistakes that should gave been caught by an editor, even some formatting issues. Maybe I am too anal about these things but they do annoy me.

Snow and Seduction is an anthology of 17 steamy reverse harem stories perfect to warm you up all the way to your toes! This review is only for the first half of the book. There are still 3 books TBR.
Blizzards and Bastards by CM Stunich
A bathroom stop and an out of order women's room leads to an encounter with Cyan's favorite rock band Inked Pages. Their meeting starts off rocky, but when Cyan's car won't start the band offers her a ride to her parent's house. Once at her house, the band finds themselves snowed in. The 7-day blizzard just might make Cyan's trip home more than bearable.
This story is the perfect blend of sweet and steamy. Things heat up quickly with the band and quickly progress to scorching hot, but it's not just a hook-up. These guys are seriously thoughtful. They are so much sweeter than Cyan's actual family. Their final grand gestures brought tears to my eyes and I am sure a smile to Cyan's Grandmother's face.
Slopes of Sin by Tate James
Mila the Elf. It's not a dream job working with bratty kids and a perverted Santa, wearing a costume that is at least a size too small, but the job does allow Mila to live on the beautiful resort where she hopes to take an award-winning picture. To make things worse an elite snowboarding group, The Kings of Snow are staying at the resort. Mila is holding a grudge against the guys for a perceived wrong from an earlier time. However, when their paths keep crossing, her reason to hate the guys is replaced by her desire for them.
I loved this story; it's hot, sweet, and has a twist or two. I would have preferred for the guys to not be snowboarding man-whores, but they did prove themselves by the end.
Frosted By My Billionaires by Amanda Rose
Natalie goes for an interview as an event planner and ends up with the position of a lifetime, fake fiancee to five gorgeous billionaires. A new wardrobe, fancy dinners, private planes. Five beautiful men, each more intense than the last. It was supposed to be pretend, but when Natalie develops feelings for all five guys she risks heartbreak.
This was a fantasy story. Every girl's dream. Perfect job, intense men, passionate sex. Men who surprise you and make your every dream reality. The perfect way to escape for a little bliss.
Snowflake by Cece Rose
Tamara James hid away on peaceful Stronsay Island to finish writing her novel and found herself snowed in for the Holidays when a snowstorm shut down the ferry. With the island's only hotel closed and temperatures too cold to sleep in her car, Tamara takes a chance on a sofa surfing app and ends up one lucky girl staying in the house with three gorgeous friends. Noah, Blake, and Spencer turn her unexpected stay from a minor inconvenience into something magical
This is a short, steamy read perfect to heat up your Holidays. If you are a fan of gorgeous men, sexy times, chocolate, you will love this little story. Yummy! It's a fantasy come true.
Triple Kisses by G Bailey
Elsie's mom has always been wild, unpredictable, so it's no huge shock when she calls to say that she has recently married a billionaire. However, now Elsie has to head to remote Scotland for the Holiday to stay with her mom and her new husband and it turns out her three incredibly hot step-brothers. Christmas break has never been so tempting. Elsie is drawn to her new brothers and they to her. She decides a one-time-only indulgence with each of them will be acceptable. But once she's had a taste, can she avoid going back for more? And feelings are starting to develop, but these are her step-brothers, it's not allowed. Too bad the heart doesn't care about "rules".
The sexual tension in this book is amazing. Forget about hot chocolate, this story can keep you toasty all by itself. Each scene with her new step-brothers is hotter than the last. I love how Elsie thought that she could stay in control. Ha! Pure fun!
Visionary by Yomoyori Wilson
Scarlet is a paranormal investigator and an artist. Her paranormal team is made up of 5 guys, 3 of these guys share her as lovers. Christmas is a hard time for Scarlet since it's the anniversary of her mother's unsolved murder. She usually locks herself away until the week after Christmas. This year it's going to be different and her guys are going to make sure she enjoys the Holidays again.
I felt like the story jumped from talking about workmates to lovers with me missing something, but it didn't matter much. The story was entertaining and the guys were hot. Scarlet owned her life and her body. Seldom am I jealous of a fictional character, but Scarlet's dressing room escapade put mine to shame. I want to switch!
Study Break by Lucy Smoke
Jamie had the last scheduled exam during finals week. All she planned to do her last night on campus was to stay in her room and study. Unfortunately, her roommate had other ideas so Jamie had to head over to the library. Her timing was good and she gets a ride with one of the football players who is taking snacks to a friend studying there. It's practically deserted when they arrive with just the guy working the desk and two others. Jamie settles in the study room with the four super attractive guys, but before they can get down to studying the power goes out. No lights, no heat, no way to open the electronic doors. No problem. A not so innocent game of truth (no dare) gets everyone heated up and before long "exams" are taking place.
I have been to the library hundreds of times, sat through countless study groups, endured more power outages than I can count. None have ever been this much fun!
Sugar Plum Fantasies by CB Morrigan
Cadence has a life full of obligations. She's a dancer, she teaches dance class to children, she is a cocktail waitress, she cares for her sick mother, and watches over her younger sister. Her life is full of worry; her mother has cancer, the bills are piling up. Her Las Vegas club is putting on a Nutcracker themed burlesque show that she is choreographing, but they really want her as a dancer. She's not willing to dance until there's no other choice. Channeling her inner sexy Sugar Plum Fairy Cadence ensures the show is a great success and captures the attention of 5 dangerous, but very sexy men. Let the fun begin.
This is a grand adventure full of danger, intrigue, and sexy times! The guys range from an oversized teddy bear to lethal. They are complicated and multi-layered. What you see at first is not necessarily the truth. Love it.
Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina
Shira Rose is being given her big break as curator at her Art Gallery's latest auction. She has everything in order ready for the event when her owner inserts new pieces into the auction. Now Shira's job and reputation are on the line as she works desperately to authenticate each new piece before the deadline. The paperwork isn't complete and the job gets increasingly difficult. Add in a mugging, a head injury along with meeting four handsome brothers visiting their Grandmother for Hannakuh and Shira is almost overwhelmed. She's attracted to the brothers and there's a mystery surrounding them that complicates matters even more.
This is the most thoughtful short story I have run across in a while. Of course, you have 4 handsome men and a lovely lady and all of the possibilities between them all, but there's so much more. History, social injustices, greed. Bad acts committed with the best intentions, with the worst intentions. Potential futures, lost pasts. Hurt, hope. I loved this one.
Avalanche of Desire by Bea Paige
Louisa's life is not glamorous. Her time is spent taking care or and cleaning up after her drunk, loose mother. She has a history of bad boyfriends. When the opportunity arises to become a chalet girl at an exclusive ski resort over the Holidays and make some serious money, she takes the chance. Her chalet turns out to be the crown cabin of the resort housing three incredibly hot brothers with a reputation for parties and women. After a few run-ins with the brothers, Louisa declares herself off-limits and the four start to develop a friendship. There is a definite attraction, but Louisa is determined not be like her mother. With her track record, she also knows that she would come away with nothing more than some hot memories and a broken heart. However, a bad decision puts her at a disadvantage with the brothers and she is forced to accompany them to a more remote cabin. Snowed in her resolve to just be friends with the brothers is put to the real test. Desire may win out.
I would have enjoyed this story so much more if the brothers hadn't been such blatant womanizers. Their behavior early on turned me off. I found it very unattractive. I did appreciate their change of heart and their attempts at being better. I loved how the story ended and look forward to more.
Their Little Helper by NR Spratlin
Kensley Coleman is the future CEO of Coleman Enterprises. She's feeling stuck; not too sure about her career path, but at a loss as to what else she might want to do with her life. The only thing she knows for sure is that she doesn't want to be like her mother and that her hair is too heavy to hold a style! Now she's been assigned to be the personal assistant to the Gunsmith heirs, Draven, Damien, and the twins Oren and Anson while their fathers negotiate a merger. They are gorgeous, but something doesn't seem right about them and it's not just their overly demanding ways. When Kensley walks in on their secret she's immediately obsessed. She wants to know more, understand, and maybe even participate.
WOW! This book is steamy! The brothers' lifestyle is scorching hot! Such sexual tension. Their one night together was toe-curling. The morning after was equally sweet. I want more, more, more. I want to spend more time with Damien's sweetness. I want to know exactly what the twins enjoy. And most of all I want Draven. I love his command and the flashes of gentleness. He is addictive. The book ends with a cliffhanger, so I will get my wish. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long.
The More the Merrier by KB Ladnier
Lowen Westmon is about to spend the first Christmas without her best friend/her father. Her plan is to hide out in her cabin, drink and watch Christmas movies. Those plans are tossed aside when 3 smoking hot men move in next door to restore the other side of the cabin. The contractors also run a Holiday strip-show fundraiser and convince Lowen to join their routine. The Holidays quickly heat up and Lowen is at risk for falling in love.
I was slow to warm up to Lowen. She was too abrasive for me. I didn't like the heavy drinking or cussing. I loved the guys from their first appearance and as they softened Low, I grew to love her with them. By the end, I was nearly in tears. Overall, this was hugely entertaining.
Streets of Winter by Skye MacKinnon
Em is a resident of the streets. She's been homeless since her ex kicked her out after their break-up. When a stranger offers her a warm drink and a bite to eat she takes him up on it but runs off as soon as his attention was diverted. The streets have destroyed her trust. Everyone has an angle, everyone wants something from you. The next day she is attacked and seriously injured the stranger. Ben shows up at her hospital room with another offer, a job and a place to live. Having no other options Em takes him up on the place to live, a small flat attached to the house he shares with his friends/business partners until she can figure out what to do. He takes her home where she meets Luther and Alistair. There they share the details of the job offer. The three are part of a secret intelligence team. They need a translator fluent in the languages Em is. Em agrees to become a temporary member of their team, but working for them isn't all that she's interested in. With these three Em has found a sense of safety, a hope for the future, an attraction to all three, a possible home.
This is an exciting, suspenseful thriller. There was unexpected depth to Em's story. Her homelessness was handled perfectly. It showcased the fact that 'normal' people can find themselves in this situation too. It's not just drug addicts and mentally ill people on the streets. It's those without family or immediate resources. Em showed strength and determination mixed with fear. Danger is a reality. Her situation touched me. The story was a fun adventure and the ending left it open for more. I would like more!

A Long Winter's Rest by Tracy Dawn
Holly Jolly's Christmas by Raya Love
Blizzards and Bastards by CM Stunich
A bathroom stop and an out of order women's room leads to an encounter with Cyan's favorite rock band Inked Pages. Their meeting starts off rocky, but when Cyan's car won't start the band offers her a ride to her parent's house. Once at her house, the band finds themselves snowed in. The 7-day blizzard just might make Cyan's trip home more than bearable.
This story is the perfect blend of sweet and steamy. Things heat up quickly with the band and quickly progress to scorching hot, but it's not just a hook-up. These guys are seriously thoughtful. They are so much sweeter than Cyan's actual family. Their final grand gestures brought tears to my eyes and I am sure a smile to Cyan's Grandmother's face.
Slopes of Sin by Tate James
Mila the Elf. It's not a dream job working with bratty kids and a perverted Santa, wearing a costume that is at least a size too small, but the job does allow Mila to live on the beautiful resort where she hopes to take an award-winning picture. To make things worse an elite snowboarding group, The Kings of Snow are staying at the resort. Mila is holding a grudge against the guys for a perceived wrong from an earlier time. However, when their paths keep crossing, her reason to hate the guys is replaced by her desire for them.
I loved this story; it's hot, sweet, and has a twist or two. I would have preferred for the guys to not be snowboarding man-whores, but they did prove themselves by the end.

Snowflake by Cece Rose
Tamara James hid away on peaceful Stronsay Island to finish writing her novel and found herself snowed in for the Holidays when a snowstorm shut down the ferry. With the island's only hotel closed and temperatures too cold to sleep in her car, Tamara takes a chance on a sofa surfing app and ends up one lucky girl staying in the house with three gorgeous friends. Noah, Blake, and Spencer turn her unexpected stay from a minor inconvenience into something magical
This is a short, steamy read perfect to heat up your Holidays. If you are a fan of gorgeous men, sexy times, chocolate, you will love this little story. Yummy! It's a fantasy come true.
Triple Kisses by G Bailey
Elsie's mom has always been wild, unpredictable, so it's no huge shock when she calls to say that she has recently married a billionaire. However, now Elsie has to head to remote Scotland for the Holiday to stay with her mom and her new husband and it turns out her three incredibly hot step-brothers. Christmas break has never been so tempting. Elsie is drawn to her new brothers and they to her. She decides a one-time-only indulgence with each of them will be acceptable. But once she's had a taste, can she avoid going back for more? And feelings are starting to develop, but these are her step-brothers, it's not allowed. Too bad the heart doesn't care about "rules".
The sexual tension in this book is amazing. Forget about hot chocolate, this story can keep you toasty all by itself. Each scene with her new step-brothers is hotter than the last. I love how Elsie thought that she could stay in control. Ha! Pure fun!
Visionary by Yomoyori Wilson
Scarlet is a paranormal investigator and an artist. Her paranormal team is made up of 5 guys, 3 of these guys share her as lovers. Christmas is a hard time for Scarlet since it's the anniversary of her mother's unsolved murder. She usually locks herself away until the week after Christmas. This year it's going to be different and her guys are going to make sure she enjoys the Holidays again.
I felt like the story jumped from talking about workmates to lovers with me missing something, but it didn't matter much. The story was entertaining and the guys were hot. Scarlet owned her life and her body. Seldom am I jealous of a fictional character, but Scarlet's dressing room escapade put mine to shame. I want to switch!
Study Break by Lucy Smoke
Jamie had the last scheduled exam during finals week. All she planned to do her last night on campus was to stay in her room and study. Unfortunately, her roommate had other ideas so Jamie had to head over to the library. Her timing was good and she gets a ride with one of the football players who is taking snacks to a friend studying there. It's practically deserted when they arrive with just the guy working the desk and two others. Jamie settles in the study room with the four super attractive guys, but before they can get down to studying the power goes out. No lights, no heat, no way to open the electronic doors. No problem. A not so innocent game of truth (no dare) gets everyone heated up and before long "exams" are taking place.
I have been to the library hundreds of times, sat through countless study groups, endured more power outages than I can count. None have ever been this much fun!
Sugar Plum Fantasies by CB Morrigan
Cadence has a life full of obligations. She's a dancer, she teaches dance class to children, she is a cocktail waitress, she cares for her sick mother, and watches over her younger sister. Her life is full of worry; her mother has cancer, the bills are piling up. Her Las Vegas club is putting on a Nutcracker themed burlesque show that she is choreographing, but they really want her as a dancer. She's not willing to dance until there's no other choice. Channeling her inner sexy Sugar Plum Fairy Cadence ensures the show is a great success and captures the attention of 5 dangerous, but very sexy men. Let the fun begin.
This is a grand adventure full of danger, intrigue, and sexy times! The guys range from an oversized teddy bear to lethal. They are complicated and multi-layered. What you see at first is not necessarily the truth. Love it.
Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina
Shira Rose is being given her big break as curator at her Art Gallery's latest auction. She has everything in order ready for the event when her owner inserts new pieces into the auction. Now Shira's job and reputation are on the line as she works desperately to authenticate each new piece before the deadline. The paperwork isn't complete and the job gets increasingly difficult. Add in a mugging, a head injury along with meeting four handsome brothers visiting their Grandmother for Hannakuh and Shira is almost overwhelmed. She's attracted to the brothers and there's a mystery surrounding them that complicates matters even more.
This is the most thoughtful short story I have run across in a while. Of course, you have 4 handsome men and a lovely lady and all of the possibilities between them all, but there's so much more. History, social injustices, greed. Bad acts committed with the best intentions, with the worst intentions. Potential futures, lost pasts. Hurt, hope. I loved this one.
Avalanche of Desire by Bea Paige
Louisa's life is not glamorous. Her time is spent taking care or and cleaning up after her drunk, loose mother. She has a history of bad boyfriends. When the opportunity arises to become a chalet girl at an exclusive ski resort over the Holidays and make some serious money, she takes the chance. Her chalet turns out to be the crown cabin of the resort housing three incredibly hot brothers with a reputation for parties and women. After a few run-ins with the brothers, Louisa declares herself off-limits and the four start to develop a friendship. There is a definite attraction, but Louisa is determined not be like her mother. With her track record, she also knows that she would come away with nothing more than some hot memories and a broken heart. However, a bad decision puts her at a disadvantage with the brothers and she is forced to accompany them to a more remote cabin. Snowed in her resolve to just be friends with the brothers is put to the real test. Desire may win out.
I would have enjoyed this story so much more if the brothers hadn't been such blatant womanizers. Their behavior early on turned me off. I found it very unattractive. I did appreciate their change of heart and their attempts at being better. I loved how the story ended and look forward to more.
Their Little Helper by NR Spratlin
Kensley Coleman is the future CEO of Coleman Enterprises. She's feeling stuck; not too sure about her career path, but at a loss as to what else she might want to do with her life. The only thing she knows for sure is that she doesn't want to be like her mother and that her hair is too heavy to hold a style! Now she's been assigned to be the personal assistant to the Gunsmith heirs, Draven, Damien, and the twins Oren and Anson while their fathers negotiate a merger. They are gorgeous, but something doesn't seem right about them and it's not just their overly demanding ways. When Kensley walks in on their secret she's immediately obsessed. She wants to know more, understand, and maybe even participate.
WOW! This book is steamy! The brothers' lifestyle is scorching hot! Such sexual tension. Their one night together was toe-curling. The morning after was equally sweet. I want more, more, more. I want to spend more time with Damien's sweetness. I want to know exactly what the twins enjoy. And most of all I want Draven. I love his command and the flashes of gentleness. He is addictive. The book ends with a cliffhanger, so I will get my wish. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long.

Holly Jolly's Christmas by Raya Love
January 6, 2018
This is only to review what I read and I only read one story....
I love what I call the “Vixen series” by Tate James,and I got this book on KU just to read her contribution to this....
And as much as I wanted to like it,for me “Slopes of Sin”, I just didn’t .... the premise for the story was good,but too much of a slow start for short story, Mila was a interesting character that sometimes I really wanted to smack upside the head and say, “Really,really ?, Was that really called for , or the right thing to do?” But other times I really liked and admired her,and I think if the story had have been longer where the characters and their backstories and personalities could have been explored it could have been great but for at least 1/2 the story she’s pushing them away, then a few kisses, then one night together , the “break up “ and then after a week apart your looking at forever and it just didn’t fit....
And this YA feeling RH short felt a bit too shallow at times,the guys seemed to prove more ways than one that while some of the “manwhore “ perceptions were true, a lot of it was false but still all we heard about was how “Hot” they were,and if they men or any man is with having he has to have. It’s going for him than hid looks or hotness factor and even after all they did for Mila protecting her etc. all we constantly hear is how “Hot” they are... and I’m sorry sister but that gets old and shallow fast, even in a incredibly short story like this....
Soo ok, but can’t touch her vixen series and I loathe the other series that was shamelessly hype in the story....
Didn’t read the others because I’m familiar any of the others work, maybe some other time...

There was something here for all levels of kink for the winter weather. You had something that would provide you with heat from the inside out. Some were romantic, passionate, kinky, explosive chemistry. Also able to meet new authors with new views on some steamy romance and other things.
November 23, 2017
Oh My Wow!
What a story! G. Bailey managed to pen one steamy tale that also touches the heart. It's both sweet and filled with sensual settings. If you're looking for a story that is not only romantically detailed, but also has genuine moments, this should be the next thing you read!

Read 15 out of the 17 stories, most were solid... I'll definitely be looking for more from a few of the authors. It was a good holiday time filler for my days off between Christmas and New year's.
December 22, 2017
Enjoyed
I enjoyed this group of stories from author I already know and have just met. There were a few with editing issues but they still had great stories.

Absolutely loving these stories. Absolutely a must read.
Blizzards & Bastards by CM Stunich
I absolutely love everything about this book. A sexy as sin pop band and Cyan a bookstore owner who always felt alone and meets in a men’s bathroom. I couldn’t help but laugh at certain situations and the damn sex scenes holy shit. CM never disappoints me with anything she writes and she knows how to write a reverse harem, like no other plus having a Christmas theme, this story was PHENOMENAL.
Slopes of Sin by Tate James
Absolutely love this sexy story about the Kings of Snow and Mila. Mila is hiding from her past but she can’t hide forever. I loved every minute that Mila, Drex, Ryder, Slade & Blaze were together and the sex was SMOKIN HOT. Hoping that there will be more of their story. Can’t wait to read more of Tate’s books.
Frosted by My Billionaires by Amanda Rose
Sexy short read that had me wanting more. Who wouldn’t want 5 sexy billionaires to become their fake fiancé’s. I love that all 5 guys were very different and the sex, damn it was hot, sexy and definitely a one handed read. Definitely will be reading more of Amanda’s books if they are anything like Frosted by My Billionaires.
Snowflake by Cece Rose
Enjoyable, sexy read that I didn’t want to stop reading. When Tamara is stranded she never thought she would be stuck with three sexy guys, Blake, Spencer & Noah. The chemistry is there instantly and it gets really hot. This is my first book by Cece and it won’t be my last.

Scarlett doesn’t like Christmas because of her mother was murdered and she finally wants to not be sad and finally feel free to have a Merry Christmas and who to help her then 3 sexy men, Jaxson, Junho and Michael who they happen to investigate together. Can’t wait to see what will happen next.
Study Break by Lucy Smoke
This short story will definitely keep you warm on a cold night. Jamie needs to study for her final exams and heads to the library with Cody in a crazy storm and meets up with Dex and Darren & Taylor. All have wanted Jamie and now that they are stranded, there is no stopping them from having her all to themselves. Quick sexy read that I wanted more of. Definitely will be one clicking more of Lucy’s books.
Sugar Plum Fantasies by CB Morrigan
This was a really interesting read that had me glued to my kindle. Cadence is trying to take care of her sick mom & her sister and works at a burlesque club and gets the attention of Warren. Her friend says too stay away but she can’t resist these sexy guys. Warren, Magnus, Will, Forrest and Killian all can’t resist her but when she learns a secret it could destroy everything. I’m dying to read more soon and see what happens next.
The Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina
Interesting read, but you can guess how the story was gonna by too go. I did enjoy all the brothers with Shira and the ending was so sweet.

The Freed brothers are well known players but deep down they had a rough upbringing. Louisa want Fall for their charm until they are stuck in and finally give in too what they all want. I can’t wait too read happens next because the ending Wow.
Their Little Helper by N.R Spratlin
This story was interesting, the Goldsmith brothers have a unique relationship and Kensley happens to find out what it is. Kensley and the brothers have a connection but when their hotels merge will it be over before it started? I hope the next book comes out soon because I need to know what is going too happen next.
The More the Merrier by K.B Ladnier

I can’t wait too read happens next because the ending Wow.
Their Little Helper by N.R Spratlin
This story was interesting, the Goldsmith brothers have a unique relationship and Kensley happens to find out what it is. Kensley and the brothers have a connection but when their hotels merge will it be over before it started? I hope the next book comes out soon because I need to know what is going too happen next.
The More the Merrier by K.B Ladnier
Will review more when done
November 26, 2017
Wow! This is a great Christmas anthology! It has sweetness, sexiness, truth and dares, and a little bit of edge. All of the stories are reverse harem.
Blizzards & Bastards by C.M. Stunich - 5 stars
I didn’t really think a meeting in the bathroom of a rest stop could be so great, but it was. I loved Cyan’s spunkiness and attitude. The guys were great. The story was hot, steamy, and sexy.
Slopes of Sin by Tate James - 4 stars
I really liked this story. Mila at times annoyed me because of her attitude with the guys, and at the end, while I understood, it seemed a little over the top and unreasonable. I liked that she owned that to the guys. The story was hot. One of my favorite things about this story is that Mila is the one with polyamory experience versus the guys.
Frosted by My Billionaires by Amanda Rose - 3.5 stars
Overall this was a really good story. I liked Natalie and the guys. I do like the fake fiancée trope, but in this story I didn’t ever really understand why the guys needed a fake fiancée. I did like the authors writing style and will be looking for more from her.
Snowflake by CeCe Rose - 4 stars
Tamara James is stuck on an island for Christmas and the only place she can stay is at a home with 3 guys. I love Rose’s writing and couldn’t put the story down. I liked Tamara and the guys. I thought it was a little odd that a woman would have no qualms about staying in a house with 3 guys, without asking any questions, but I went with it, and just enjoyed the story.
Triple Kisses by G. Bailey - 4 stars
I was a little worried when I heard that this was a story about a woman falling for her stepbrothers, but I lov Bailey’s writing. First, while technically they are step siblings. The story starts with Elsie finding out her mom just married, and then a week later she meets the guys. So they are all adults and have only been step siblings for a week, rather than raised together. I really liked Elsie - she was strong and the guys respected her. The story is steamy and I couldn’t put it down.
Visionary Christmas by Yumoyori Wilson - 3.5 stars
I liked the story, but I think the events take place after the events in Visionary Investigator and Scarlett is already in a relationship with her guys. I do like to read series in order when they follow one MC. While I never felt lost, I didn’t feel as invested in the relationship as I would have if I had read Visionary Investigator first. I will read this again once the first book is out.
Study Break by Lucy Smoke - 3 stars
This story is Hot, Hot, Hot! The story take place over the course of one night. I liked that it ends in a happy-for-now versus HEA. None of the characters have been in a poly relationship before, so I am not convinced anyone would just jump into without any concerns. However, the story moved quickly and was Hot!
Sugar Pum Fantasies by CB Morrigan - 4.5 stars
I really, really hope this is he start to a series because a lot of questions were left hanging at the end, and I need to know how it all ends! Cadence is a great lead. She is caring and fierce. I like how she stands up to Killian but is still vulnerable. The guys are all so different and dangerous in their own way. I need more!
Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina - 5 stars
I loved Thief of Hearts. All of the characters are Jewish, so the holiday theme focuses on Hanukkah versus Christmas. The story is sweet and I liked that Shira is a smart, strong, independent woman and in the end she is the one who saves the day. I do think she let the guys off a little too easily, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story.
Avalanche of Desire by Bea Paige - 5 stars
Loved this! I liked that Louisa doesn’t immediately fall for the guys. She calls them on their behaviours and set limits. She acknowledges her issues and is upfront with the guys on what she needs. I liked that the guys respected her and gave her time. But that ending! Gah! I need more! Can’t wait to read more about Louisa and the Freed brothers!
Their Little Helper by NR Spratlin - 4 stars
This story is the darkest so far in the anthology. This is part 1 of a 3 part series. The relationship between the guys is a little different - and I’m not quite sure what to think of it. However, the writing is great, and I am intrigued enough that I will be looking for Part 2 when it comes out.
More the Merrier by KB Ladnier - 4 stars
I loved Lowen! She is brash, no-nonsense, and has a dirty mouth. I loved that the guys got her and yet pushed her out of her comfort zone.
Streets of Winter by Skye MacKinnon - 5 stars
MacKinnon really gets you in the feels :) when this book starts Em is living on the streets. MacKinnon does an excellent job of portraying the plight of the homeless, without making it feel preachy. Also part of the sales of this book will be donated to charity. I liked Em, she ends up on the streets, but she doesn’t blame others and she takes the precautions she can. She’s a smart, but has made poor decisions and at times trusted people she shouldn’t. I liked that she doesn’t trust the guys immediately. I like that the guys understand her and don’t push her beyond what she is comfortable with. I Can’t wait to read more about Em and her guys. I received an ARC of this novella. I voluntarily and honestly reviewed it.
Mary F*cking Christmas by Arizona Tape - 4 stars
This is a quick sexy read. I love Mary’s attitude. She is tough and a little mean but kind of a softy underneath. This story was fun and made me laugh.
Sweet Bout Me by Laura Greenwood - 4 stars
This story is hot and steamy! I like Saffron, Cal, and Evan. They are great together. Cal and Evan just sweep her of her feet. While I understood Daniel’s concerns, I didn’t really like how he reacted with Saffron. Overall, I really liked the story - it was sexy and sweet. I can’t wait to read more by Greenwood. I received an ARC of this novella. I voluntarily and honestly reviewed it.
A Long Winters Rest By Tracy Dawn - 2 stars
Unfortunately I struggled with this story. The set up is something I like, but it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t really feel chemistry between the characters and I didn’t really like that she was seeing them each indicvidually without any of the others being aware until the end.
Holly’s Jolly Christmas by Raya Love - 3.5 stars
I liked Holly and her guys. Who would like Christmas Farm Cowboys :)
Blizzards & Bastards by C.M. Stunich - 5 stars

January 21, 2018
Blizzards and Bastards by C.M.Stunich 4/5 stars
I liked this story :)
Slopes of Sin by Tate James 4.5/5 stars
I loved the story and the characters. Although it was a little hard to believe that such total men-*beep* were suddenly ready to commit AND share.
Frosted by My Billionaires by Amanda Rose 4/5 stars
It was a really nice story. I, however, would have liked to know why the guys needed a fake fiance -or did they see her and planned this ruse so they could make sure she fell in love with them?
Snowflake by Cece Rose. 5/5 stars
I got totally sucked into the story and loved it. Especially the last part where we could see them a year later.
Triple Kisses by G.Bailey 5/5 stars
The heroine was amazing and so were the guys. Would have preferred a whole series instead of a short story.
Visionary Christmas by Yumoyori Wilson. 3.5/5 stars
Great writing. I wish I had read the first book of the series before this part, so it would have made a lot more sense. This way I had no connection to the characters.
Study Break by Lucy Smoke 2/5 stars
The story is well written, but the dialogue was a little too much like porn for me (personally) and the shift from nice and shy girl to a total sex craze felt a little unnatural. It kind of lacked a real story and characters. I love the Nerys Newblood series by Lucy Smoke though!
Sugar Plum Fantasies by CB Morrigan 3/5 stars
It was good, but I can't get over the fact that the heroine was willing to sell her body and I would have liked a real ending. There are still open questions and a missing girl -maybe there will be a continuation?
The Thief of Hearts by Ripley Proserpina 4/5 stars
I really loved how the romance evolved slowly but would have liked to get to know the guys better.
Avalanche of Desire by Bea Paige 4.5/5 stars
Great story! Loved that the heroine resisted the advances from the guys for so long. It is more believable that the guys fell in love with her over several weeks. I am a little mad at the heroine for just leaving but I will keep my eyes open for the continuation of this story.
Their Little Helper by N.R. Spratlin 4/5 stars
I really liked this story too and I would like to read more (I hope there is).
The More the Merrier by K.B. Ladnier 4/5 stars
Pretty good story, the only complaint I have is the alcohol consumption of the heroine. I just can't relate to that.
Streets of Winter by Skye McKinnon 5/5 stars
The best story of the anthology, I absolutely loved it. I hope there will be more -I will definitely read it!
Mary F*cking Christmas by Arizona Tape 2/5 stars
Sadly, I didn't like the writing style -POVs changed from one paragraph to the next.
Sweet About Me by Laura Greenwood. 3/5 stars
This one was okay. I didn't particularly like the way the heroine handled the situation. She had sex with different guys and they didn't know about each other -for me that is cheating.
A Long Winter's Rest by Tracy Dawn 2/5 stars
I couldn' get into the story and the writing style.
Holly's Jolly Christmas by Raya Love 3.5/5 stars
This story was an okay read. The writing style was great but overall not too memorable.
All in all, I am glad that I got this book and could read so many wonderful stories. Yes, normally I like a slower pace when it comes to rh romance (for the reason that there a more than two people in it and it takes more time to get to know them) but there were quite some stories I really enjoyed :)
I liked this story :)

December 8, 2017
I was really excited for this seasonal intro to a bunch of RH authors, but it was a huge mixed bag what-did-I-just-read with glimpses of fun-reads
it started off strong with Blizzards and Bastards by C.M. Stunch
it was funny, quirky, completely over-the-top ridiculous with zippy dialogue
"Learn to multitask, Cyan. Piss and chat. There aren't enough hours in the day to move like a sloth."
I didn't quite get the dump on the youngest family attitude (especially since it starts off talking about how her father goes overboard in calling the police when she's MIA, so the whole cinderella woe-is-me, except with a horrible birth, not step, family seemed ill-fitting)
"now is not the right moment to let myself get wrapped up in things I can't change"
anyway, I thought this did a good job of folding in the RH aspect and I love it when stories make me laugh or giggle-snort
Slopes of Sin by Tate James
this was okay, I liked that it mentioned the band, Inked Pages, from the first story, so I thought it was one of those anthologies where they thread elements of the first stories into the rest of the stories, but it ended with just the quick mention
I think I liked the first story the best and had very mixed feelings about the rest
I liked Snowflake by Cece Rose, but the RH piece was a little disappointing
there's a lot of parent-bashing in these stories ... not sure what that's about, what with the holiday-theme and all that ...
Visionary Christmas by Yumoyori Wilson was an outlier - not a contemporary, but a futurist fantasy? sci-fi? i don't know exactly how to characterize it, but it was not similar to the others
anyway, there's certainly a lot of stories, so I ended up skipping around, not sure I'd go back to any I skipped, but nice to have the option!

The More the Merrier by KB Ladnier
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
One of the things I love about this author is her dark humor…her sarcasm is right up there with mine so I get her totally. Another thing I love about her books are the way she writes the perfect men to complement our heroine. Her heroines are always smart, sassy, and a whole lot badassy!!
This book starts with Low missing her father. She is going to drown her sorrows with Jack Daniels and Christmas movies when 3 hotties move in next door. Ez is the sweet boy next door. Tobi is the hot dominant and Jasper is the flirty one of the group.
The guys are all fawning over our girl and she is doing everything in her power to ignore them even if her libido is not on board with it. The guys push Low and soon she is a part of their holiday charity show. This forces her to spend more and more time with the guys and start to grow more and more feelings for them.
We see Low pushing her feelings for the guys away because of her abandonment fears but when she must face everything she has her trusty best friend Sara there to smack her into facing what is really happening. Everyone needs a best friend like Sara!
I loved loved loved the story. The guys all have a special place in my heart just like Low’s.

I've had this book for AGES and I can't believe I've only just now finished it. BUT, IT'S SO GOOD. There are a few stories in here that weren't my favorite and could have really used some serious editing, but for the most part? I'M DESTROYED. I'M SLAYED. I'M SWOONING. I'M IN NEED OF A COLD SHOW. I'M OBSESSED. Give me some full length stories for these relationships. DAMN.
To be honest, I've read a lot of menage romances but not enough reverse harem. So I feel like it was very smart to start with Snow and Seduction because most of these authors REALLY put in the work and we should all say thank you for it. It combined two of my all time favorite things (see: title) and LADIES this was IT. I'm a mess.
Previously, the only author I was super familiar with was Tate James, so I came away from Snow and Seduction with a few authors on my radar. In terms of the short stories in it, I think that Blizzards and Bastards, Streets of Winter, Study Break, Slopes of Sin and Avalanche of Desire were my favorites. And I'll be looking into each of those previously unknown authors quickly!
The only downside to most of these stories is that I now wish it was Christmas and I had a reverse harem of my own. Because, wow... wow . Also, I could do with a little of the cold winter's air to satiate the heat that is radiating from this damn collection!

Blizzards & Bastards - love this story. Love this Author (one click author for me). For those of you who love CM Stunich’s Rock Hard Beautiful series, you’ll love this one too. Whilst this was written quite some time ago, I do hope that this world and the characters are expanded at some time in the future as it’s easy to enjoy the characters and the world that has been built in this short story. Loved Inked Pages and Cyan. 5 stars.
Slopes of Sin - Tate James is one of my favourite authors. This story has so much potential with Mila and the Kings of Snow, so hopefully one day will be expanded into a full novel. There is potential also for a co-write with CM given Inked Pages are mentioned in this story in passing, so cross over potential for both stories. The only thing that confused me was the ages/timeline of the story, but I plan to follow up and ask the Author when she is on next live Facebook stream. 4.5 stars.
Edit: For those if you who wondered the timeline on Mila’s Olympic career, I checked with Tate during a live Facebook chat, that her Olympics career was at ages (approx) 12, 16, 20.

I loved the Hanukkah one. I'm normally against anything that has religion in a book. But I found this book so refreshing. And I loved learning about Hanukkah too!! I love a book that is amazing, yet also educational too! Like the god hunter books. I often find something in those books that I never knew before!
There was one book, I scratched my head at, like a futuristic/sci-fi... one in a contemporary collection? It was also like a high five towards another author.
Too many good books to mention. And all completely different. Frosted by my billionaires was pretty epic. Kings of snow was pretty awesome. Parts of this story I chewed my nails off! Band of bastard's was amazing, I laughed so much in this one especially at the start. Great book to start the collection of with
I loved avalanche of desire, it really sticks out the most for me. I liked the crappy mother, feeling desperate to take care of her. Giving everything up and never being good enough. Such an gripping story. Then leaves us on a cliff hanger.. lol ! Gutted! Need next one now!
So many good books!!

I am in love with this anthology!! I haven't read all of them yet (trying to sneak away from all the family is tough!) but all the ones I have read so far are amazing! If you don't like super hot scenes (with multiple guys at once), then do not pick this up (this is why its called a STEAMY RH Anthology). If you are looking for some amazing beginnings to relationships and some holiday cheer, then this is for you! I will edit the review once I have read them all, but I have read almost half of them and I would give them all a 4 or 5 star rating <3 I have heard rumors that some authors will continue the stories in the future, which is super exciting! I would recommend this anthology to everyone. Go pick this up now to read during your holidays, snow days, breaks from wrapping presents, or the much needed alone time away from your extended family ;)

This review is for Snowflake by Cece Rose
A Christmas time, heart warming reverse harem novella. What more could you ask for at this time of year than to snuggle down with a cup of hot cocoa and a good read that will leave you feeling happy and content? That's what Snowflake did for me.
It was a great short read. Would I like to of read more of it? Well yes! Any book that I enjoy I always want more of, but the story fit perfectly into the space it was written into with enough detail that we got to know the characters.
This is definitely a book I will be picking up to read again, even not in winter as it's that perfect book to pick you up when you're feeling a bit down. Five stars from me.
I'm looking forward to reading all the other books in this collection now

So many of my favorite authors in one book! I can only imagine how hard it was for some of them to write contemporary romance as most of the writers in this anthology do not. Some of these were hilarious and I really enjoyed them. There was one that I didn't care much for, however the others more than made up for it. I was particularly excited for the stories from the authors that I hadn't read and am looking forward to reading more of their work. Due to the fact that these are short stories, the character progression is rather fast, that may not be for everyone. However, these are stories that will keep you hot on a cold winter night!

More. Please.
Ok.. so tate James , CM and Gem are some of my current favorite authors... putting both of them in one book is a sure fire way to get me to read it!
CM totally has a way with rock bands... I mean ... can I have one of my own? Please? Oh Frost, * sigh*
And tate and those snow boarders * gasps * Mila sure was a lucky girl... all those boys keeping her warm!
And then there was triple kisses by G Bailey! Triplets? Yes please. That’s something I didn’t even know I wanted in a book! Crazy moms? Those always make me chuckle.
I hope all of these books are expanded on later... I need more!

This anthology is AMAZING! This was filled with some of my favourite authors with a couple new ones that i'll definitely be watching for more. There's quirky characters, humour, sweetness, and definitely steam. I can't even pick one favourite, they're all so good #whychoose. The first three I read were Arizona's, Laura's, and Skye's and they all set the bar high - the rest of the authors met my already high expectations.
If you like hot scenes with even hotter men, then this is for you. You will not be disappointed.
Not sure if reverse harem is for you? Check this anthology out to get a feel for it from some of the best RH authors

What can I say?
This Anthology was amazing! One of the best books I have read! You get a little bit of everything and a whole lot of steam in this one! I can’t wait to see some of these short stories turn into full length novels! I really enjoy getting different writing styles. It took me a while to read it, but I couldn’t put it down in my spare time! 10/10 would recommend if you enjoy steamy romances and a couple of cliffhangers! What more could you ask for in a reverse harem anthology?

Hot, Sexy, Sweet & Funny!
Wow! This is an Amazing Anthology!! I've read a few anthologies before and there are usually some great stories, and few eh stories but the stories in this book are all great! They are all at least 4☆s with most being 5☆s. All the stories are HOT and SEXY, some are a little more sweet and some more funny. I love all of the authors who were part of this anthology and I look forward to reading their work that's to come.

Short and Steamy Reads
An anthology of some of my very favorite RH authors...yes please! These are short, fun, steamy reads from each author. Because they’re short novellas, the plot and relationships progress quickly, which may not be for everyone, but I loved them. CM Stunich, Tate James, Cece Rose, G Bailey, N.R. Spratlin, Amanda Rose...I thought all their stories were fantastic and sincerely hope they decide to further develop these stories into fully length books.

Disclaimer: I hate Christmas and Christmas-themed books. But some of my fav authors choose to write this so... what is a girl to do?
Blizzards and Bastards by CM Stunich: 4.5 stars
Slopes of Sin by Tate James: 4 stars
Frosted by My Billionaires by Amanda Rose: a bit over the top... it was a concentrate of all the corset rippers I have ever read. 3 stars
Snowflake by Cece Rose: not my cup of tea. Didn't finish it
All the others: I swear I tried... But I really hate christmas

Missing pages.
I was really enjoying the first story and become even more frustrated as the book continued as pages of the stories were missing, here, there and everywhere. Then the story would continue but randomly in the middle of a sentence that made no sense. Some places I was able to catch the drift of the storyline, in others there was so much missing, the story no longer made sense. It ruined the book for me.

Definitely a great read for RH lovers. Read it for free with Kindle Unlimited then I bought it.
Only 1 or 2 stories out of 17 weren’t really my thing. But I loved the rest. Some of the stories I wish were longer or I could see developed into an actual erotica novel, which I don’t usually get that feeling so that was awesomely unexpected. I’m looking out for the next parts for some of the stories included.
