Samuel needs a holiday miracle. The Vampire Council is after him, he's falling in love with his best friend's mother-in-law, and there's artwork hanging on the wall that was stolen by the Nazis. Life is spiraling out of control for this Jewish vampire as he spends the Christmas holiday baking cookies and wrapping gifts for the needy.

Louise is busy with her charities and hosting her annual Christmas party. Putting a smile on her face proves difficult when her soon to be ex-husband arrives with a bimbo on his arm, her proposed divorce settlement is far from fair, and the sexy stranger she’s starting to fall for believes she’s a Nazi.

When Samuel goes to meet his friend Sterling at his mother-in-law ' s home he has an instant attraction to her. Although he is Jewish he is happy to participate in the preparations for her charities. He is happy to hear she is in the process of a nasty divorce. When trust, secrets and betrayals are uncovered it puts a strain on everyone. Samuels life depends on uncovering the betrayal and revealing long kept secrets. I really enjoyed reading this latest book from this author. It was emotional, sexy and suspenseful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my type of vamps
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2016

I don’t really know how to begin this review. What to write and how to formulate my thoughts and feelings. At first I want to say I really do like paranormal books. I like Vampires with all the different facettes they get from different authors, but I didn’t like these vampires. They were too… human. They seemed weak. Not only the main character who had all reason to appear weak, but all of them. They were not the aloof and composed beings that I like, but seemed nothing more than humans who drink blood.
I liked the idea that they age when they don’t drink enough, but that was about it. The rest of the characteristics this author made them have just didn’t sit right with me. I did not like them.
That being said I liked the plot. It was really well planned and there were no plotholes. Everything that happened made sense, but I suspected early on what would happen with the painting. What I did not expected was the way everything played out in the end. It made somehow sense, but otherwise not so much. The council seemed far too powerful to let something like the evil character slip through a thorough background check before letting the character work in that particular part of the council.
And… that may be, because I am German and have some kind of other relationship to the Nazi time and what happened during that time in my country than a US people, but the reaction the evil character showed when caught was just… I don’t know… Too much? Hitler was not the one who invented antisemitism and his followers were not brainwashed by him. Antisemitism is nothing new, not in Germany, not anywhere in the world. That being said, the last exclamation of the evil character was just a little bit over the top for my taste. The rest was well researched and good infused in the plotline. I did not expect the ownership of the painting getting explained like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to put down!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016
Winter Wishes by Regina Morris is a novel in her COLONY series. I haven't had the pleasure of reading others in this series but I sure plan to.

Samual is a wrongly accused vampire that needs to clear his name before his trial. He goes during the holidays to see a friend and finds something more unexpected there. When a woman spike his interest, which hasn't happened for a long time, he has a lot of difficult choices to make.

Louise is a woman that just wants to be happy. When her soon to be ex-husband latest draft of the divorce settlement makes its way to her she is anything but. When a mysterious stranger catches her eye and helps her from a sticky situation she starts to fall for him hard. When a family heirloom looks to come between them what will happen.

Regina Morris is a very talented story teller. Between the paranormal and romance aspects of this story it is one that I could not easily put down. 4 beautiful stars for a story of just how life puts some strange obstacles in the path of even the paranormal.

Wrongly accused Samuel hopes his friend will be able to help prove his innocence but to do that he must spend Christmas with the family. Louise is just short weeks before her divorce is final but she has last minute charity work and then a few days with family before that mess. A family heirloom, a bitter coworker, a well planned forgery, and some holiday magic make this tale come alive.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Part of the Colony World series. Samuel needs help proving his innocents so he goes to a friend for Christmas and meets Louise, their story is well written with suspense, drama, danger, villains and romance. The story was well worth reading.

Winter Wishes is the holiday story for The Colony series.....We get to visit with some new characters as well as a couple from rest of the series. I love vampires a lot and this author puts some very interesting twists on what her vamps can and can't do. Plus some of these vamps have special gifts. I'm so happy to have a nice holiday read from one of my fav paranormal series!

Samuel Spargur is a Jewish vampire that works for the Vampire Council working with works of art. Yet, he finds himself in trouble....for the council believes him to be an art thief. Awaiting his trial for these charges, Samuel seeks out the help of a good friend Sterling Metcalf. Sterling works along side his family to protect the president of the United states, so he has contacts that may be able to help him fight the charges against him.

Louise Spencer is a successful business woman and helps many charities.....she also is Sterling's mother-in-law and Samuel is falling in love with her. Louise is in the process of divorcing her low life husband Clive, a no good rotten philanderer. Her family are under the assumption that Samuel is her lover. Then Samuel discovers some works of art with ties to the Nazis. He is torn between doing his job informing the Vampire council of his discovery and his growing feelings for this beautiful woman,

I really enjoyed reading this Christmas story of new found love. The story behind the stolen works of art that happened in WW II very interesting. It was also nice to get to revisit Sterling and Kate and remembering their love story from United Service Book 2 in this wonderful series.
