I gotta say the only reason this books got three stars was because of Roxanne St Claire's story. That was what kept it from being only 2 stars.

The first story was cute- wouldn't call it a "holiday" story though... From there it went down hill. I couldn't finish the collection because I felt like I was reading porn instead of "heartwarming holiday stories" as advertised.

I only read You Can Count on Me by Roxanne St. Claire

This was a cute, snappy little story involving Lucy Sharpe's assistant, Raquel Durant, who has been training to become a Bullet Catcher. Her first assignment is the protection of the 8-year old daughter of Grigori Nyekovic, a former Russian spy now an investor. She gets swept up in more intrigue when a priceless Fabergé egg in Grigori's custody turns up missing. It's part romp and suspense that escalates quickly. It's short and a perfect story for the very skilled Raquel and her new Russian interest.

Four stories in this book. They're okay. Not the best anthology but I finished it. Copyright says 2006, but I would have assumed earlier.
Linda Lael Miller has a recent widow and her step-daughter returning to the widow's hometown where a match-making aunt introduces her to the widower with twin boys next door. Can this handsome music teacher help a lonely heart learn to sing again?
"Once Upon a Christmas" has Catherine Mulvaney introducing a deceased mother getting a magic lamp to her daughter to help reunite her with a childhood crush. Her stepbrother. Ew.
A Cuban-American PR woman helps her rigid boss loosen up in Julie Leto's "Meltdown."
The last story is part of a series by Roxanne St. Clair. In this one, a new bodyguard is sent to protect a young girl but ends up helping the girl's father track down a valuable Russian artifact... and falling in love.
