وصف الناشر
Three fan-favorite Jill Shalvis novellas are together for the first time in this holiday anthology!
One Snowy Night
It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to her family. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, her long-time crush, and his big, goofy, lovable dog. A long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past…and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.
Holiday Wishes
When Sean O’Riley shows up for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, the last person he expects to see is Lotti Hartford, the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago. As the weekend continues, Sean realizes he wants to leave his hook-up life behind, but can he convince Lotti to open her heart to him again?
Mistletoe in Paradise
Years after their secret fling ended, Hannah isn’t eager to see James during their families’ annual joint holiday-themed yacht adventure. But when they’re the only people who show up, James and Hannah are stuck together on the high seas for days. As the former lovers try to make the best of the Christmas snafu, they soon realize the best things in life can’t be planned, and sometimes love is sweeter the second time around.

Holiday Ever After
I received a complimentary copy of this anthology from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This contains 3 short novellas. Because they are short they are not HEA (my preference) but rather HFN. I wished the stories were a little bit longer and/or finished better.
I did enjoy the dual POV formats that each were written in. Seeing why the characters reacted and spoke during some scenes is very helpful to me to better understand.
They were a pleasant way to spend a few hours. If you like cute novellas (especially if the setting is during Christmas time, they you will probably enjoy this these.
Festive Mood
I love this collection of Holiday reads by Jill Shalvis. Each will put you in the festive mood and leave you feeling cheery. You can’t go wrong with this collection.
Love holiday novellas!
I love reading novellas, because when written well, you get a full story in a fraction of the time. Leaving more time to read more books! Ms. Shalvis wrote this set of wonderful, satisfying stories with couples worth cheering for.
Max and Rory are a couple that I wish had a longer story. There’s so much history between them, having gone to school together, then seeing each other years later in San Francisco. While their snowy road trip was fun and eyeopening for them both, I would have devoured a full size book, because they were such great characters. Regardless, I still enjoyed their story.
Sean and Lotti were a great second chance couple, perfect for a novella story. It’s taken years for them to be in the same place, literally as well as maturity-wise. While emotionally cut off, Lotti is of course intrigued to see that sixteen year old boy again, all grown up. And Sean regrets how he hurt her in the past. Maybe a little Christmas miracle is in their future.
Hannah and James pick up right where they left off, even as many years and many hurt feelings have come and gone. They both try to fight the attraction and in Hannah case, hold on to those old grudges, but whether it’s their forced proximity or the magic of the Caribbean waters, fate has another ending in mind for them.
Holiday Ever After is a great addition to not only my holiday reading but my catalogue of favorite Jill Shalvis books!
