The main reason for me getting Twelve Naughty Days was to read and review Four Calling Birds by Nana Malone. In my opinion Four Calling Birds is worth 5 stars alone. Lucas and Bryna are back. They are up to fun and high jinxes. If you know Lucas and Bryna you know what I'm talking about. Nana Malone gave me suspense, laughs and steam. I loved Four Calling Birds. If you don't know Lucas and Bryna in my opinion this is a good introduction to them. The scene in the bedroom had me rolling with laughter, it was hysterical. This is an anthology some of the stories I like some not so much. There were a couple of stories that were a little weird for my taste. There was some suspense and lots of steam. In my opinion this gives you a taste of many authors. It's a fun boxed set. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy.

This collection has something for everyone. I liked that each story had some connection to the carol, it gave it a fun feeling. I'm not familiar with all of these authors and the stories that were obviously part of an ongoing series I decided to skip. I'm not saying I won't go back and try them out, but not this time. Four Calling Birds by Nana Malone - This is a short story featuring Lukas and Bryna from the authors Winston Isles and London Lords books and would definitely help if you're familiar with their background. This was a story that had a truly bizarre situation that I will never be able to get out of my head whenever I hear the song. Please don't misunderstand - I'm not kink shaming, but without going into spoilers, the whole shebang was completely unexpected. Points for originality. Gift Me by M Malone - This was a very sweet and relatable story about geeks finding each other. Just what we need for Christmas.

4 stars Swan Song by Giana Darling Included in this anthology, we get a little snippet about Finnegan Ramsey before he became the resident hacker for the Fallen MC, Curtains. The 19-year old Finnegan had learned to hack into the dark web as a result of a devastating loss. Along the way, he has caught the attention of the notorious black hat hacker, Obsidian Swan and they want something from him in exchange for the answers he has been seeking. In the end, he gets his answers and gets the closure he has been needing, but he also finds the love of his life. Even as a novella, the story is action-packed and left me wanting more. And the cameo appearance of our favorite MC president was such a treat! 4.5 stars Goner by Fiona Cole We are back in the Voyeur world and what a place to be! The heat between Amara and Atlas was off the charts! Amara doesn’t have to work at Voyeur but she chooses to work part-time for her need of the kind of sex Voyeur gives her. She has been content with what she is given, until the night of the charity gala taking place at Voyeur. From the very moment Atlas laid eyes on Amara he wanted her. But after a titillating performance between Amara and a familiar favorite, his need for her has become an obsession. Even though customers were not allowed to touch the performers, but he found a way and it was explosive!
