Three couples take center stage in this holiday-infused anthology by three of Dafina's best-known authors. When their plane is grounded during a storm, a schoolteacher invites a soldier she met on board to stay with her family—who assume they are a couple—in Alers's engaging "A Christmas Layover"; high school friends who went their separate ways reconnect ten years later with romantic results in Cheris Hodges's "The Christmas Lesson"; and a sports agent and a stylist for a music group find the road to love is rockier than they'd thought in Pamela Yaye's "Christmas with You."
VERDICT Sassy, seductive, and modern, this collection will please readers who like their seasonal romances with flair. Alers, Hodges, and Yaye live on New York's Long Island; Charlotte, NC; and Alberta, Canada, respectively.
