"A Christmas Layover" by Rochelle Alers

When Navy SEAL Captain Noah Crawford and elementary school teacher Sierra Nelson meet on a plane headed east from San Diego, they're glad to pass the time in friendly conversation. But when a freak storm grounds them, Sierra offers Noah a place to spend the night - with her extended family, all of whom assume they're a couple. And as the holiday spirit infuses every moment they spend together, they both begin to wonder if a relationship is a special gift they didn't expect.

"The Christmas Lesson" by Cheris Hodges

Kayla Matthews isn't looking forward to heading home this Christmas. Divorced and struggling, nothing has turned out the way she expected - including her childhood friend, DeShawn Carter. Now the high school principal, he's also the kind of man she's always dreamed about. But before the holidays are over, Kayla has a chance to reclaim everything she once thought she wanted - or prove to DeShawn that they have a second chance worth celebrating.

"Christmas with You" by Pamela Yaye

Celebrity stylist Maya Malone can't find anything joyous about the season, not since her ex-fiancé left her on Christmas Eve. But one look at suave, sexy sports agent Marc Cunningham is almost enough to change her mind. Their instant attraction feels like the best sort of present, except for one very large obstacle - Maya's NFL star big brother, Marc's new client. It will take more than holiday spirit to convince everyone involved that Marc and Maya's connection will make the angels sing.

Choppy. No Clear Transition between Stories

The first 9 chapters was one story. This story was amazing 👏🏾. The next story was only one chapter. The stories were not connected but well written.

Great

I really liked this book and would recommend it. It had a great storyline and sexual storyline. I wish these books were movies or TV shows. The first one the couple was great together and the second one was a great second chance love story and the third one was opposite attract. I do however wish the dinner was apart of the story at the end to see if her brother acted right and went back to her boyfriend as a client and got rid of his loser friends. I also wanted to know if Mark sighed the tennis player. All the books were a great collection with them all centering around love at first sight in a manner of speaking and being in the same states or region.

A nice trio of stories

Noah and Sierra had such a cute story. This was a fake relationship that turned real. They met on a plane and she invited him home when his connecting flight was cancelled. After faking their relationship when her family got the wrong idea about them, they both decided they wanted the real thing. I enjoyed the flow of this story.
Kayla and DeDhaen were childhood best friends who never quite crossed the line even though they both wanted to. Now she is back in town and he is determined not to let this opportunity pass him by. Friends to lovers is my favorite and this story did not let me down.
Maya and Marc met at a charity event. They hit it off immediately. Then he found out she was his client's little sister. He wanted to back off but couldn't stop thinking about her. They began to date in secret. When their relationship is exposed to her brother, so are a few things Marc kept from her. I was actually okay with the third act break up in this story. I was happy they got to their happily ever after.
This was a great trio of stories.

The first book was the best

The first book was the best I literally had a smile on my face the whole time, the last book was too much drama and the second book I dont remember 🤷🏾‍♀️...I didn't have a problem with the narration either.

The story line was very good. I enjoyed reading. Each story has its own favor. Some are better than the others. You be the judge
