For My Own: A Contemporary Christmas Anthology: A Christmas for CarrieChristmas CurveballKissing Her Scrooge - Alison Packard, Shari Mikels, Kinley Cade, Angela James I loved all three of these short stories, they made me smile, and just really reminded me of why Christmas is so awesome.

A Christmas for Carrie
Its so sweet when a guy wants to give a girl the perfect Christmas gift. Nick has come home for the holidays. He is no longer a geek, but now a very successful sports agent in San Francisco. Carrie hates Christmas, because it reminds her that she has never had a good one thanks to her no good parents, and something tragic which happen several years ago. So when her high school crush comes back into town, she is in a bad mood. I think the chemistry between Carrie and Nick was so organic yet apparent, I really couldn't put the book down. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Packard.

Christmas Curveball
Rachel has had a crush on pro baseball player Kevin for years, however, she knows he's a player and he's her brother's best friend. Kevin has wanted Rachel for years but stayed away because he knows that there are some boundaries that you don't cross, but now he's home for good after being let go from his team, Rachel might be just the woman to help him transition into his new life. But Rachel has some serious trust issues to work through. I have to say that this was a really sweet story, and I think the fact that these two had loved each other for so long made the entire thing even better.

Kissing her Scrooge
Hannah is the town Christmas elf, she does everything, and loves every moment, when she falls for Griff the town's scrooge, no one thinks they have a chance in mistletoe. I have to say I liked Griff waaaaay more than Hannah, she seemed a lil much, but Griff was so sweet and so kind. I still liked the story though.

This is a great holiday read. Lots of sweet, holiday fun.
