These are four holiday stories I would classify as romantic suspense. Actually, the stories do not have much to do with Christmas at all, they just happen to be set at that time of year.

I didn't care for the first story by Cherry Adair at all. The heroine and the guy who was sent to rescue her from a serial killer are stuck in a house in the country during a winter storm. The serial killer has broke out of prison and is traveling across the state in order to finish her off. Why is it that a serial killer doesn't have any problem stealing vehicles and driving through a storm, but the local police can't make it 20 miles? My rating: 2 Stars.

The second story by Leanne Banks was very original. After her best friend disappears, Hilary tries to get involved with the same men and is kidnapped into a white slavery ring. Hilary's parents send help in the form of Rick Santana to "buy her". My rating: 3.5 Stars.

My favorite story was by Pamela Britton. Kaitlyn is a scientist who finds herself in the middle of a shoot-out, only to be rescued by a biker. This is an on-the-run story which is one of my favorite themes. It was the only story where I felt the hero and heroine were really in love. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

The last story is by Kelsey Roberts and it has more of a mystery feel than romantic suspense. When Santas are being murdered at a local department store, Jack is sent to watch over the new CEO who he believes is the intended victim. My rating: 3 Stars.

Overall, I would give this book 3.5 Stars.
