This holiday romance isn’t coming out until after the holidays, but with snow still on the ground in parts of the world in January when it releases, I’m counting it because oh. This romance is perfect for those who like their romances sweet and a little bit silly. And of course, workplace relationships between a boss and an employee never turn out well. Dee instantly blames her attraction to Austen on her head trauma because, whether or not Austen is aware, Dee is the second in command at the company. But when the topper on the tree falls and hits another employee, Dee, in the head, Austen is worried she already might be out of the job. With twenty-three stories, there are heroines of all sizes who celebrate more than just Christmas! As a bonus, proceeds of the anthology will go toward the Albert Kennedy Trust in the UK and the Ali Forney Center in New York City, which are both organizations which help homeless LGBT youth.Īdorable, holiday hijinks ensue in this lesbian romance! Austen is the new secretary at a gaming company in Portland and her first assignment is to decorate the company tree. Unwrap These Presents is a collection of lesbian holiday romances with a pretty diverse cast of characters. Not all the stories may be winners, but you’re bound to walk away with a few favorites and some new authors to check out. I always recommend anthologies to readers who are just dipping their toes into a new genre, but anthologies are also a great way for readers, in general, to try a variety of authors at one time.

These lesbian and gay holiday romances will be sure to match that wintry coziness for both readers new to the genre or simply want to add more holiday romances to their collection. There’s a big draw for holiday romances because for some, they really help bring in that warm and fuzzy holiday spirit, the kind of feeling only match by a hot mug of tea or cocoa (preferably with a little splash of an alcohol of your choosing). The holidays are a complicated time for many people, but since we’re all readers, I’m sure we can all relate to curling up with a book during cold weather or looking for some escape from family bonding time.
