Review: Once Upon a Midnight Solstice by Gwen Knight and C. E. Black 5 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Midnight Solstice Once Upon a Midnight Solstice by Gwen Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Death by Mistletoe by Gwen Knight
Never kiss beneath cursed mistletoe - you just know from the word "cursed" it's not going to be pretty for either of them. Can Rumour and Knox solve all the killings and survive the curse themselves?

This is a lovely shifter story containing love, passion, magic, betrayal and a wished for HEA. I loved the way the story developed and the interplay of all the characters and the politics that also needed to be navigated.

The Alpha's Christmas Mate by R.E. Butler
Sugar Pierce is a snow leopard shifter and agrees to be her sister's Maid of Honour. Maddox Haynes is an alpha lion shifter and is the Best Man at the same wedding. When they meet will sparks fly or will they choose their packs and deny any attraction they may feel for each other?

This was a lovely story nicely told. I enjoyed the ending which showed how people can work together to achieve the right thing and it can be easier than they probably thought.

The Wolf Who Stole Christmas by C.E. Black
Kellan Archer just wants a quiet life but it appears his new neighbour Joanna Mackay and her son might have other ideas. Giving him cookies and trying to get him to feel the spirit of Christmas is not going to work and he'll do his damnedest to make sure it doesn't.

This was a really sweet story that gets you right to the heart - I have to admit I cried reading this story so read it when no one is watching!

Celebrate Me by Kristen Strassel
Delaney arrives unable to speak due to trauma, and Shea is damaged in his own way due to a difficult younger life. Can they find happiness and joy by helping each other?

This was a lovely Christmas story showing how love can conquer pretty much all. Carefully told and with the right amount of detail.

Lir's Lady: A Fada Shapeshifter Story by Rebecca Rivard
Shifter Lir has returned to claim his fae mate via a gamble with a passion filled night - will everything work out the way he wants or will he have to go away alone again?

This was a lovely story with lots of feelings and emotions getting involved with feelings of duty affected by out of date impressions.

Chamber Music by DJ Shaw
Can Celestine play her cello solo in the concert and can she also solve the connection she has to her magical cello?

A strange little story but quite pleasant. I like the ending but it was a bit rushed I felt at the end and could have been done nicer in more detail.

A Kiss for Solstice by Elizabeth Allyn-Dean
Zelda's sister is being kept a hostage in order to force her to do things for their step-mother - can the kiss between Dax and Zelda be the start of a solution to this problem?

This was a great story - a nice length for it to be quite involving and well told so I could feel the drama and emotions. A nice twist on the evil step-mother class of story. I think we all need our own Dax.
