I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. This is a very steamy quick paced book. Each author has a unique writing style. It will leave you panting for more. This ebook is in stores for $2.99 ( USD). It has LGBTQIA representation in the book. I would recommend this anthology to anyone and everyone.

This holiday anthology is sexy and even a little kinky, depending on what you consider kinky. I'll admit that I liked some stories better than others, but they were entertaining. One of my favorite things about anthologies is getting to read a bit by new to me authors to see which ones I want more of. Jingle Balls does have some of those. The stories are all short and sexy, and there's a little something for pretty much everyone who enjoys sexy romance.

Jingle balls has a variety of stories. Some were good, but not great. Each story had a sci-fi element to it, and some were not easy to follow along.

This book has nine stories by nine different authors. I like the first three stories. I have a neutral feeling about story no - 5, 7 and 8. I didn't really like the fourth, sixth and 9th stories.

It was certainly an interesting collection.
The first story was well done and gave me hope the rest of the book would be just as good. Sadly, I was disappointed. I would say it was about 50/50 enjoyable vs not. I think perhaps the stories could have been ordered better. There were 2 stories that included telepathy that were very close together and it was just...odd. Because it wasn't like all the paranormal/ sci fi stories were in the beginning. It just kind of bounced around and didn't feel cohesive.
That being said, if you like Christmas and kink, this would be a good collection to check out.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a collection of 9 holiday themed short stories. Some are very very short. All new authors for me. Sport of an eclectic mix, from sappy steamy to menages and LGBTQ. Some I liked, some I didn't, some left me hanging. 3.5 stars.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. Jingle Balls: A Christmas Anthology edited by Celia Tan and Arabella Flynn is a collection of 9 short Christmas themed stories. The stories are mostly in the sci-fi and fantasy genre, range from super steamy to almost sweet and are LGBTQ and poly themed. I found the book an excellent way to sample some new to me authors, but a word of warning the stories are very short, and I found myself saying, wait... what... I need more several times. Publishing Date: December 24, 2020.
