My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:

She's a rich teacher
Handicapped, wants to adopt
He has sister's kids

Sweet Christmas romance
Too much in character's heads
Good action ending



My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:


He annulled marriage
She ran away, remarried
Now widow with son

Quite a few errors
Too much thinking, not doing
Nice happy ending


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:

Undercover cop
Plays Santa for surveillance
Meets woman with dog

Wish it were longer
Superficial mystery
Very nice romance


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:

CEO's a mess
A new housekeeper appears
And his eyes open

Liked characters lots
And hint of Christmas magic
Plot could be tightened


My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:

Her husband was killed
She joined a theater group
Met two men she liked

Christmas love story
Not bad, but superficial
Oversimplified


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Two-haiku review:

She drinks way too much
Breaks into his antique store
Will he arrest her?

Clever novella
Lots of sexual tension
And the perfect end

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Review haiku:

Very short story
Venice airport--she meets cop
He's handsome, of course
