I didn't realise until I was reading this that it was set *after* book #18 in the series (Twelve Months), which I have yet to read as I am waiting for the paperback version.

Which might explain why I was initially a bit confused about certain elements in Harry's world (He has another apprentice now? And a castle?), which - I presume - happen in that entry.

Having said that, once I got past the initial confusion I found myself thoroughly enjoying my return to Harry's Chicago; thoroughly enjoying the more 'low stakes' (well, as low as it gets for Harry, maybe) of the story that I feel was lost in the last couple of full-length novels I read.

This is a collection of seasonal stories that are predominately contemporary, with just a couple of supernatural/paranormal in there. They are all 'sweet' and there are no details - the most you get is hot kissing. The rest is either inferred or it fades to black.

In this anthology, there are some great stories, and some not-so-great stories, but on the whole, it is a sentimental and wholesome collection of seasonal stories to give you a warm glow over the festive period.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this anthology to all fans of contemporary sweet romance,
