One Magical Night by Nancy Pirri
Marcus Calhoun had a close friendship with Anne Prentice. After he divorces his unfaithful wife, he returns home to renew his companionship with Anne again. He never knew such camaraderie could ignite in love. Can he prove his actions are sincere?
Anne Prentice is a single woman with an imperfection – a limp that turns many men away. Who would want a deformed woman in their life, especially one that more or less sits atop a shelf not even being asked to dance by any of the eligible bachelors? After Marcus begins seeing her as more than a friend, she is surprised. She has trouble believing he could love her for being imperfect.
One Magical Night is such an enjoyable read. Marcus and Anne belong together after all the heartache they go through. This is a true romance that instills the magic of the holiday season. Ms. Pirri allows the reader to feel the emotions of the characters. She pens a story that many readers can relate to in some point in life. Never has such a romp between the sheets, or a chase, been such a captivating read. Her short story made my heart leap with joy many times.

Spirit of Christmas by Ann Cory
Elisa does not quite know how to respond when she hears the words: “There has to be something you want. A dream you have had. What thoughts are floating around in your head? Tell me your wildest desire and I will make it a reality.” The mysterious intruder in her home, who calls himself Chris, seems to know everything about her. Just the mere sound of his voice heats her all over, but does she dare speak from her heart? She never got anything she wished for. Can she gather courage to be truthful to this intruder? “I want…you…”
Spirit of Christmas was a complete joy to read. The characters of Elisa and Chris were well developed making this story such a great addition to the book. Talk about Christmas cheer, this one is a winner. Ms. Cory cleverly blended in some Christmas spirit that leaves you with a good feeling inside. Everyone needs a Santa’s helper in their life. This story mesmerizes.
Holiday Voices is a collection of stories that not only touch the heart but made this reader feel blissfully warm all over. There were no hot coals in the fireplace, not even falling snow outside, but with each page this reader could feel the whole ambience of the book. Each author practically puts the reader in the center of everything. Each of these stories takes the reader on a cloud of ecstasy that fill the imagination – giving this book a great treasure not only for this holiday season but any time of the year. That is why I give this book a 5 cup rating. The writing shines through, holding the reader’s attention completely.
