It Must Be Christmas
by Jennifer Crusie
2016
This holiday collection bundles Jennifer Crusie’s comic caper Hot Toy with novellas by Donna Alward and Mandy Baxter. Together they follow a frantic toy hunt, a found baby in a seaside town, and a wary billionaire rancher discovering that Christmas can still change everything.
Series background & context
The Billionaire’s Club: Texas Heartthrobs line gathers a set of short, high-heat contemporary romances built around one irresistible promise: four very rich, very stubborn Texans are about to have their lives blown up by love.
Each story centers on a different kind of Texas hero, from a cattle baron running a vast ranch to a single dad juggling parenting and pressure, a celebrity athlete trying to focus on the game, or a lawman who never planned on inheriting a fortune. They share money and status, but the real focus is on the way each man’s carefully controlled life unravels when he meets the right woman.
The heroines tend to arrive with their own missions. Some are there for work, some to protect family, some because their small town or charity needs cash. None of them are impressed by the hero’s bank balance for long. The tension comes from clashing goals, strong chemistry, and the question of whether a man used to calling all the shots can learn to compromise.
Most of these stories were first released as individual e-novellas and later collected into print volumes that bundle the four Texans together. That makes the series easy to sample in any order while still delivering the pleasure of a connected world: overlapping characters, shared settings, and references that reward reading the whole run.
For Jennifer Crusie readers, the connection comes through shared anthologies and similar tastes. A book like It Must Be Christmas pairs a Texas billionaire novella with Crusie’s own holiday caper Hot Toy, so you can move from her brand of romantic comedy straight into Mandy Baxter’s brand of cowboy billionaire drama.
This page lays out the Texas Heartthrobs titles in reading order and explains how they fit together, so if you like your romances short, steamy, and full of wide-open skies, you can dive straight in.
