Thoughts: This anthology contains six stories by authors Amy Lane and Andrew Grey. They all contain some heat—at least 4 flames on a couple. All take place during the Christmas season and all are M/M. “Stardust” – Duncan, an engineer, is in Bavaria to oversee the creation of a satellite mirror. Georg is his company contact. Love prevails. “Sweet Anticipation” – Rhys and Gregory, old boyfriends, reconnect over Gregory helping with a friend’s wedding. “Rudolph the Jack Russell Terrier”- told partially from the dog’s POV – Alex and Luther bond over a shelter dog. “The Morning After” – Pierce is injured in a crash and Hal helps him through recovery. “Watch Out for that Tree” – Cassidy, a loner, is seriously injured by a falling tree. His neighbor Mark (and Mark’s entire family) help him out. “Chrismyths” – Andy is stuck returning to Vermont for the holidays and has to leave Eli behind. When disasters happen at the Rainbow House where Eli is trying to hold things together, Andy’s entire small town comes to the rescue and the two have a definite happy holiday after all.
