Reviews

"NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE sure made me want to see some white stuff in the air. Maxwell seems to be what every woman would want under her tree Christmas morning—a man who thinks she is special. Good looks, charm and wealth don't hurt the package either. NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE certainly lives up to its name and I look forward to reading the rest of the stories."
   —Lynda Yorke, The Romance Journal

"NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE is a sizzling hot romance between two people who aren't looking for love but it finds them anyway. Ms. Philip's turns up the heat with her newest short story, NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE, which is one of four stories in the anthology NAUGHTY OR NICE. Her in-depth, lovable characters and steamy, passionate storyline makes this story almost too hot to handle. So get out the asbestos gloves and sit down with your copy of NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE today. It's definitely not one to be missed."
   —Robin Peek, Romance Reviews Today

Carly Phillips always springs some wonderful surprises on her readers, and NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTELTOE is so naughty and has plenty of sizzle to burn up a winter evening!" Suzanne "Thinking of Getting Out the Mistletoe Early this Year! Of course I'll have to Round up some Hunks too!"
   —Suzanne Coleburn, The Belles and Beaux of Romance

Carly Phillips' NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE is an absolutely charming story. This sensually amusing tale proves naughty girls do find themselves in—shall we say ... interesting positions. You won't want to miss the pool table scene and make sure you know who you're kissing under the mistletoe before you start a relationship with him. This is one tender Christmas story naughty and nice gals will not want to miss."
   —Jan Springer, Road to Romance

"Carly Phillips pens a short story at once incredibly sexy and incredibly pleasing. NAUGHTY UNDER THE MISTLETOE just goes to show how a mistaken impulse under the mistletoe can lead to the love a lifetime. Author Carly Phillips has a knack for perfectly capturing the contradictions of love and career for successful women. Once again she creates a strong heroine who learns that love need not mean walking away from one's professional life. As the game playing escalates, walking a careful line between naughty and nice, everyone comes out a winner. Very highly recommended."
