I was told that I needed to introduce myself in the third person, but I tried it, and it just wasn’t for me. I like to break the rules a little bit anyway, so I’m just going to do this the way I want to.
My name is HB Jasick, I write romance, and I’m probably the biggest book simp that you’ll ever meet. I love stories. All stories. If I’m not reading them, I’m watching them on TV.
I will read just about anything, but there are a few things that I love more than others. My top five would probably be Enemies to lovers, Dystopian plots, Fae books, Taboo themes, and Angst. I believe that readers should never be ashamed for what they like to read, so that’s exactly how I write.
So far, I’ve written Romantic Comedies, Contemporary, and Dark Erotica. I love writing goofy characters and awkward situations, but I also like my heroes to be slightly Alpha, and my heroines to be smart, sassy, and maybe a little strong-willed. I don’t like to stay in just one trope, so I write whatever I’m currently in the mood for.
I live in Springfield, Missouri with my husband, our two daughters, and two Weiner Dogs that basically run our entire house. Some of my favorite things, besides books and movies, include wine, sushi, coffee, making lists, dachshunds, random capitalization, and watching my daughters cheer, and play soccer.

Drummer Boy by HB Jasick - Who is Nate? Who is Luke? How do they know each other? This is a sweet M-M romance. It is so fun reading this story with a bunch of unexpected surprises.
Dealing with Christmas by Laura Lee - We meet Drew, Brody, Charlee, Rainey and more! Dinner at Brody's parents house is a real hoot! This is a must read story. Nonna is the bomb!
Bound by Obsession by Aleisha Maree - I'm not sure how I feel about Jayden or if I am going to enjoy this story. Yeah. I found myself agreeing with Tru in this book about Jayden. I truly do not know how I felt about the story once it was finished. I am a mixed bag.
Red & Greene by Tiffany Carby - Who is Scarlett MacLaine? What does she do and where is she? Who is Booker Greene and how do they meet? This was the sweetest story of the anthology! I really want to read more of Booker and Scarlett.
Screwed by Ember-Raine Winters - Who are Brandy and Pete? What do each of them do for a living? The clifhanger in this story leaves off on a sad note. I could feel Pete's anguish. You need to read this story to see what funny things happened that lead up to that anguish.
Baby, It's Cold Outsie by Faith Ryan - Who are Toby, Beck, and Ben? How do they meet? I enjoyed reading this story, even though some of it was almost truly heartbreaking, especially as we learn about pasts. Definitely a must read. It's a sweet love story that is taboo.
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

An anthology that satiates all your cravings for romance. From naughty to nice and from M/F romance to taboo M/M/M with a rockstar and fire Chief thrown in what more can we ask for?
Drummer Boy by HB Jasick was a quick, love at first sight read. A M/M romance. I loved the friendships and the setting of the story. The heat was a low simmer. I would have loved to see more interaction between these two lovers.
Dealing with Christmas by Anna Lee: Absolutely hilarious. I want more!
Bound By Obsession by Aleisha Maree: A naughty read and I’m dying for more. Love between a drug and alcohol addicted, Christmas-hating Rockstar and a take-no-shit, Christmas-loving waitress seems doom to fail… Will it?
Red and Green by Tiffany Carby: A sweet romance between a sexy fire Chief and a travelling nurse.
Screwed by Ember-Raine Winters: Is love between a sexy MMA fighter and a virgin therapist possible? An intriguing read that had my rapt attention.
Baby, it’s Cold Outside by Faith Ryan: A taboo M/M/M romance and the naughtiest of these stories, I absolutely devoured it.
Be warned! These are snack-sized reads that will leave you begging for more. Meant for those who love a dose of the naughty alongside the nice.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A well-rounded christmas romance collection. Some MM, some very dirty and some not dirty, some not exactly standalone so I will go looking for the rest of the story!
A bad relationship’s ending is the start of a new one for Santa’s helper. (MM).
Getting some feels for his best friend’s sister.
Bad boy rock star/rapper with substance abuse issues feels he found his salvation in his neighbor and club waitress.
Player MMA fighter wants his fake relationship to be real.
A guy leave his life behind and meets love in the form of twin brothers who help him after his car dies. (MMM, taboo/twin relationship).
All very different stories, but quick reads that kept me locked in.

Each of these stories brings you a little holiday spirt. This Anthology has stories from authors that could be new to you, but you will not be disappointed. Each one of these authors were new to me. Each of the authors brings you in and keeps you turning the pages. They might all contain love, laughs, a few of them also contain hot & steamy times and taboo.
I recommend this book.

Christmas Snacks is a little bit Naughty and a little bit Nice. It is well rounded for all romantic tastes for the holidays season. I would love to have more of each story continued. I laughed, fell in love, got in mad. And it is the first time I read M/M, I loved it.
December 12, 2018
This is an enjoyable set of six short romance stories with a lot of variety, including some M/M romance. The stories are sweet, steamy, funny, joyful, sad, and sometimes tragic. Nice quick reads.

Christmas Snacks is six short stories with a good mix of tropes! Stories range from M/M to friends to lovers to taboo! Some of the stories were continuation of a couple or family so if you haven't read those books, like me, you may be a little lost, but not totally! Other stories are just a preview of whats to come for some of these authors! Overall a very fun read!

I enjoyed reading Red and Greene by Tiffany Carby
This was a sweet story about a traveling nurse and a sexy fire chief. I so need more of these characters. I was not ready for this story to end.
I have not read the others in the set yet.

I jumped into this one because I saw Laura Lee was a part of this and I love her deal makers crew! This short is freaking hilarious as is all of her work. Unfortunately the rest of the stories really weren’t my cup of tea, so only giving a 4 star, but Laura’s part was so good!
December 27, 2018
I haven’t had a chance to read all the stories but had to read Embers and WTH I wanted more hurry up Jan I’m ready to dine out what happens

This is a great collection of short Christmas stories that will make you laugh, blush, be happy and also sad and this is what makes for a great afternoon snuggled up and reading them with a hot cuppa and some chocolate.
My review is for Red & Greene by Tiffany Carby:
Booker is at a cross roads of his life and wants to settle down, Red is a traveling nurse with no fixed abode one meeting in the supermarket isle takes both their lives quickly in a new direction. You will fall in love with the humble and hot Fire chief and the impulsive at times and super caring Red as we see their love unfold and make Christmas extra special.
