Nochebuena. One Party. Nine Happily Ever Afters. It’s Christmas Eve in New York City, when anything is possible. For these couples, it’s the season to find true love. From second chances, big leaps, missed connections, and reconnections, this charming collection celebrates the spirit of the holidays and delivers nine perfect HEAs. Acclaimed, award-winning, and bestselling Latina authors—Zoey Castile, Alexis Daria, Adriana Herrera, Diana Muñoz Stewart, Priscilla Oliveras, Sabrina Sol, and Mia Sosa—bring to life a wintry collection of holiday romances that will melt your heart. Make the Yuletide Gay • Adriana Herrera After a string of broken engagements, international Latin Pop Star finds love in her sexy and constant manager. Days before her big live holiday special, Vivi wonders if the woman of her dreams could finally be hers. Only Yours • Sabrina Sol For six months, New York City mayor David Lucero has worked side by side with Natalia Menendez to bring a professional women’s soccer team to the city. Despite mutual tension and flirting, neither has made a move. But when the magic of the season is upon them, he races to find her and the goal is her heart. Meet Me Under the Mistletoe • Priscilla Oliveras Challenged by his friends to find a plus one to Nochebuena dinner or else, widower Hector Gutierrez isn’t sure he’s still got any good moves left. That is until he strikes the right chord with his son’s music teacher, Cristina. All I Want for Nochebuena • Alexis Daria When sparks fly between adult film stars Honey and Judy, Honey must work up the courage to bring Judy along to her family’s Nochebuena party. Santa’s Eager Little Helper • Mia Sosa Sarita Barros is finally going to confess her pining crush on her coworker, Carlos Gonçalves at the office party. Instead, they’re tasked with delivering gifts around the city and she’s had a major wardrobe malfunction. The Sexy Elf to his Santa, Sarita and Carlos play their roles so well, she’s one step closer to making the naughty list. The Nochebuena Dating Game • Diana Muñoz Stewart Eneida Morales takes a second chance on love with the handsome musical director at her school—even if it means causing some holiday drama with her ex-husband and familiar. Love in Spanglish • Zoey Castile A heartbroken romance writer gets snowed in with a novel-worthy hero who may just make her believe in love again. To Us, You Are Perfect • Alexis Daria & Adriana Herrera Newlyweds Pasquale and Yamilette’s Christmas is just short of perfect. The missing piece is their best friend Marcelo, who has loved them from afar for years. This Nochebuena, they’ll finally complete their happily ever after. The Great Holiday Escape • Zoey Castile Gigi Baez is always on the hustle, making sure her little sister has everything she needs including a big Christmas Eve fiesta with all their friends and family. That night, Gigi receives an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxe South Beach weekend where not one, but two beautiful strangers steal her heart.

Another favorite of the month. This was a very great adaptation of the movie 'Love Actually' with Latinx characters. Each short story is based on one of the romances from the movie and they're all interconnected by the end. I thought the interpretations were familiar enough but each also had their own spin on the stories that honestly made them better than the movie imho. This will be one I return to for sure! 💖

Final #DoubleSpin of the year is done, and I did manage all 24 #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks! Like most anthologies, some stories are better than others. I kinda liked the gimmick of following the couples from Love Actually, and my favorites closely followed the ones I like in the movie (Judy&Jack/Julie&Honey, Jamie&Aurelia/Callie&Angel). Needed better proofreading (especially the first story!). Knowing Spanish helps in some stories.

Well, the cat WAS in my lap…I finally settled down to read, first quiet moments to myself in days. Kiddo dove into a new Lego set, everybody had eaten, I could finally recharge a bit. And then hubby said, “Since she‘s occupied for a while and we‘re not doing anything else, why don‘t you give me a haircut?†and I almost cried. Incidentally, I am NOT currently giving him a haircut. Can Christmas stress be over now, please?

Ruthiella Oh dear! Glad you got your down time! â¤ï¸ 1y

1. Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk

3. I really loved Amor Actually and In a Holidaze

Soubhiville I loved Damnation Spring! It was definitely in my top 5 for 2021, and it slipped in under my radar by chance as a gift. 2y

Nine short stories loosely follow the plot lines of “Love Actually,†but all end happily at Gigi‘s Nochebuena party. Written by a great collection of Latinx Romance writers (straight and queer). This was a fantastic and 🔥 🔥 🔥 read, perfect for the holidays!

4/5

A collection of 9 short, steamy romances all leading up to Gigi's Nochebuena party. I really enjoyed each story, but Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Priscilla Oliveras was my favorite.
