GRR Reviews A Billionaire For Lexi: Holiday Novella (Th by Ruth Cardello

A Billionaire for Lexi is a 3 novella anthology from three bestselling authors, and each of the novellas is a short fast read, though none are particularly deep.

NOTE: Technically a collection is a group of works from the same author, while an anthology is a group of works from different authors. This is technically an anthology, as they are from Ruth Cardello, Jeannette Winters, and Danielle Stewart, but it will be referred to as a collection for tagging purposes only.

Clay Landon is a playboy, and he doesn't do relationships... Until Lexi Chambers... who's just as rich and just as free as him, and she's not impressed at all. Lexi doesn't want trouble with the rich Barringtons, as her sister just married into it, but Clay tested her resolve to stay unattached. As the two dance around each other, they come to realize their feelings may go deeper than first thought...

World-renowned chef Vincent Moretti was attending a charity event at a resort, but it was snowed out. When the kitchen can't even seem to serve any food, he went to investigate and found Renita Gallo... daughter of a famous chef attempting to uphold her father's reputation, even though she's a teacher, not a chef... Vincent was smitten by her tenacity and helped her out, but she can't stand this handsome but arrogant... CHEF?

Nolan is fuming that he's spending his Christmas alone at a coffee shop while his sister is spending cozy nights as she just married a billionaire. Holly McNamara is on the run, and meeting Nolan is a perfect opportunity for her to get out of town. When Nolan was called to attend a charity function and present a charity check, Holly offered to come along. Nolan and Holly found they enjoyed each other's company very much, but Holly was keeping a huge secret. When someone spotted Holly for who she was, she elected to leave, but Nolan is not ready to see her go just yet...

Each of the novellas is centered on a bit of holiday spirit, and have shared characters, as this is technically a part of the Barrington family series. They are not particularly deep reads. At first I wanted to rate these three stars, but I upgraded them to 4 as they have consistent quality. Though they are really like 3.5 stars.
