Evergreen Industries employees just received a memo saying their data base has been hacked. Cole Evergreen is positive the culprit is his former college girlfriend, Taryn Harper. He dumped her because he couldn't reveal to her that he's a wizard. She remains his only true love and Taryn still loves him; she wants to see him again to know the truth and to find closure or rekindle the flame. He invites her over to see to their IT security, and sparks fly high. In Naughty or Nice?, Vicki Lewis Thompson does for geeks what she does for cowboys: a strong story, sympathetic characters, and sizzling sex. It's fresh, inventive, with several fun, seductive touches.

Lark DeWynter is Ethan Evergreen's PR nightmare. They would be dating were it not for "The Christmas Lie", a book Lark wrote which threatens the very foundation of Evergreen Industries. Lark harbours secrets, but can she and Ethan overcome their ideological differences? She's a Mean One by Rhonda Nelson is very entertaining and often hilarious. There is a lot of chemistry between Lark and Ethan and the banter between the two is realistic and often very funny. The whimsical element that defines Lark's behaviour is utterly delightful.

Noelle Frost came back to Evergreen Industries to take over from her ailing father in Security; she is also Dash Evergreen's ex-wife. She left him some years ago because she felt neglected, and Noelle's magick is at times a bit iffy. But bad news loom on the horizon: Santa is rebelling, and it's up to Dash and Noelle to save Christmas, and maybe try to rekindle their love. The starting point for this story is just too hilarious to mention; it must be read! Kira Sinclair's His First Noelle is gorgeously written; it's sensual, touching, clever, and very funny. I loved it!

Belle Evergreen doesn't drink cocoa like everybody else. The Evergreen brothers' baby sister is a coffee drinker, and her long, very erotic coffee breaks are shared with smokin' hot Nick St. John. But a week before Christmas, Belle's life is disrupted in more ways than one: Santa is missing and a replacement must be found or Christmas will be cancelled! Andrea Laurence's Silver Belle is the most romantic story of all four. It really embodies the spirit of true love and Christmas without being maudlin; Belle and Nick are lovely characters; it's the perfect ending to this magical book!

Throughout JINGLE SPELLS there are ingenious send-ups of various Christmas characters, whether Rudolph, the elves, and the very funny marital difficulties of Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The four contributing authors have written a coherent and thoroughly enjoyable book; their voices blend perfectly to create Holiday magic. JINGLE SPELLS is sweet but not cloying, with some delicious spicy moments, tender love stories and some very amusing passages. A real Christmas treat!

When it comes to love, the Evergreens know that sometimes you have to play a little naughty to get exactly what—or who—you want from Santa. Celebrate the holidays with Evergreen siblings Cole, Ethan, Dash and Belle in this enchanting collection from New York Times bestselling authors Vicki Lewis Thompson and Rhonda Nelson, Kira Sinclair and Andrea Laurence.
