So the tree is recycled by now, the decorations are back in the attic, and you’ve already made and broken your New Year’s resolutions. Take heart – back there in the corner is one more holiday treat. Yes, it’s a Christmas anthology, but these four stories are a welcome diversion any time of year.
Island Bliss is an anthology of contemporary novellas all set on warm islands – it sounds the perfect distraction for this rainy gray winter I’m experiencing. If only the stories hadn’t been so, well, mediocre.
