From Booklist
Romance anthologies allow readers to sample writers new to them, or writers they've lost track of, and this holiday batch is particularly lively and varied. Christmas is both naughty and nice in Santa Baby. In Lisa Plumley's "Merry, Merry Mischief," a workaholic architect discovers the joys of the season while baby-sitting his young niece with an attractive co-worker. A career woman hires a male escort to impersonate her boyfriend on a Christmas visit home in Kylie Adam's sexy "Holiday Stud." The holidays will never be the same again for a grinchy psychiatrist when a southern belle and her seven daughters move next door in Elaine Coffman's sweet "Under the Mistletoe." Lisa Jackson adds a touch of suspense to her story of a woman who isn't sure if she can trust the man claiming to be the father of the baby left on her doorstep in "A Baby for Christmas."
