Unwrap Me

Author: Melissa MacNeal, Susan Lyons, & Melissa Randall
Stars: 3
Review by: Saraswati

This book is really 3 stories in one:  Unwrap Me by Susan Lyons, Naughty Noelle by Melissa MacNeil and All She Craves for Christmas by Melissa Randall. I can't tell if they were stand alone at one time, but I feel they were just put together for this holiday special.  The Christmas theme is the only connection between the stories.
 
In Unwrap Me - The main character hates Christmas because of the many bad things that have happened to her during that time.  Her co-worker sends her brother-in-law over as a "secret Santa" present.  At first they are appalled, but decide that they should at least hang out together.  They soon develop a romantic relationship and slowly he changes her mind about Christmas by using the themes from the song the 12 days of Christmas.
 
Naughty Noelle is a funny, up-beat read about a newly divorced woman and her widowed mom going on a Christmas holiday to the Outer Banks.  They are greeted by one of the rental's owners and soon all their holiday dreams come true.  It really wasn't that easy, their is some light drama in the mix, but overall just a funny, hopeful, read.
 
All She Craves For Christmas is about a woman that decides to leave her modelling career in NYC and return home to New Hampshire to start phase 2 of her life.  She meets up with a boy from her past, now a man and they hit it off. All three are easy, summer reads.
