Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fruitcake is one of those Christmas traditions that you either love it or hate it. I'll admit that I stand firmly in the latter category, I can't stand the stuff. However, this fantastic group of authors have come together and found a way to make fruitcake fun even for me. Twelve stories revolving around some possibly magical fruitcake. The storylines and characters are all different, but they all involve someone receiving a mysterious package, some romance, steamy goodness, and fun. I particularly enjoyed various references to favorite Christmas tales that are scattered throughout each story. Each story is a quick read and perfect for fun and sexy bedtime stories that are full of wit and sure to bring some holiday smiles.
