This was supposed to be a supposed to be an extra-special Christmas Eve for Beth Adams. For the past week her boyfriend Steve had been hinting that her gift was going to be big and Beth really believe he was going to propose. But no... what did the jerk give her? A satellite dish. In that moment, she realized he wasn't what she wanted and ended their relationship then and there. Now she sat in front of a dying fire, playing with the sex toys her coworkers had given her for Christmas.

Sometime, during the night, she drifted into a sound sleep and woke only because she heard something on the roof. Thinking it might be Steve trying to win her back, she stormed out the door and let him have it. To her surprise, it wasn't him, but a gorgeous man dressed as Santa. The stranger introduced himself as Dominic Claus and explained his reasons for being on the roof.

For some unknown reason, she invites him and offers him a place to stay for the night. He may be a total nutcase, but he was a gorgeous nutcase. The next morning, she and Dom spend the entire day together, enjoying each other's company immensely. That night is even better. In just a few short hours, she'd fallen in love, yet she didn't see how they could have a future together. Not only did Dom believe in Santa, he also believed in magic. Faced with losing him, Beth has to wonder whether believing in magic is such a bad thing.

Put away the cocoa and grab some ice-cold eggnog before reading Just a Little Magic. Kate Douglas has written a complete scorcher, full of passion, creativity, magic, and love. Beth is relatable heroine; her desires, needs and doubts every woman's. Don't miss!

Luck of the Irish anthology consists of three stories written by three of the top new authors from Ellora's Cave Publishing.

Three men are over in Ireland for the wedding of an ex-girlfriend. The food and drinks are flowing heavily and the guys find themselves all sitting at the same table. The talk moves to how they each know the bride and one man lets it slip that she had been his nanny. To divert the guys' attention away from this slip, he suggests they all go outside to hunt down their own leprechaun and get his pot-of-gold. But what happens when a business tycoon, a drunk computer nerd and a staid lawyer find and catch the legendary little green man and are granted their hearts' desire?

Zev thought he was having a very wild and kinky dream when he felt two sets of hands rubbing his body. Then he heard the two beautiful women talk and realized this was just not another kinky dream brought upon by his heavy drinking the night before. He slowly and reluctantly opened his eyes and realized he was strapped to a table in a room that reminded him of a dungeon.

Moaning his fate, he suddenly remembers the walk in the woods with the other two guys the night before and catching the leprechaun who was to grant them their hearts' desire. He can't believe that his heart's desire was to be tied up and taken advantage of by two beautiful women. Or was it?

Zev found he was held prisoner along with a beautiful woodsprite, and was the science project of two young witches in training. They believed he was the shapeshifter they had summoned and wanted to note for their class experiment what it would take for him to shapeshift. Shapeshift? Shapeshift into what, Zev thought. He was just a regular guy or computer specialist from Ohio. Not a shapeshifter of any kind.

Over the week's time Zev and Fern are held prisoner by the young witches, they grow very close. But what could a guy from Ohio and a woodsprite have in common? Especially a hot guy, who likes his sex, and an asexual woodsprite, at that? Will they get free of the two witches? Will love be able to conquer all?

A Wolf by Any Other Name is a great story where the hero and heroine, amongst all the trials and tribulations, find their true selves and possibly a love everlasting...showing us that sometimes love can conquer all, if you believe in it above all else. Ms. Douglas created a great story in A Wolf by Any Other Name that will having you turning the pages quickly and keep you enticed until the very end.

Luck of the Irish is an anthology filled with great stories and written by wonderful authors. Jennifer Dunne, Kate Douglas and Chris Tanglen are three authors who will now be an automatic buy for me.
