Jingle Spells and Siren's Treasure: Naughty or Nice?She's a Mean OneHis First NoelleSilver Belle (Harlequin ThemesHarlequin Nocturne) - Vicki Lewis Thompson, Rhonda Nelson, Kira Sinclair, Andrea Laurence, Debbie Herbert

Nice collection of holiday stories.
Average rating of all: 3.5*

Naughty or Nice?- 4*
Cole and Taryn's story. It was refreshing to see a woman as the computer guru. I liked her intelligence. They were a couple in college when Cole suddenly dropped out and left. She's been left hanging for 10 years (bit of a long time to be hung up on someone). Luckily he was as well. She hacks into his computer system and the rest is history.

She's a Mean One- 3*
Ethan and Lark's story. Still didn't find out her first name. (Lark is her middle. Ethan asked and she wouldn't tell him. I thought it might be brought up later, but no). Huh. Lark can see the "magick" of Christmas. She (and her family) thought she was crazy. She's been anti-Christmas ever since.

A few elements I didn't like: the "special" cocoa (how much of her reversal was truly her?)and kidnapping (something Ethan never fesses up to) lowered the rating.

(show spoiler)



His First Noelle- 4*
Dash and Noelle's story. Another couple who had been together and split. Noelle has always felt like she didn't belong and it was nice her finally embracing her whole self. Both Dash and Noelle learned from their previous mistakes.

Silver Belle- 3*
Belle and Nick's story. See, Nick is human. Belle hid relationship from everyone. Than, Santa takes off. Nick is the next Santa. Belle decides they can't be together. The "misunderstanding" is resolved.
