I enjoyed
Shannon Stacey's Kowalski series and Boston Fire series as well as her various holiday novellas.
Rebecca Crowley's had some good stuff. I didn't care for
Love in Straight Sets, but only because some of the events in it were too implausible for me as a tennis fan. The romance in it was good. I quite liked
Hero's Homecoming and
The Striker's Chance.
Elyse Mady's
Something So Right.
Rachael Johns'
One Perfect Night.
Jennifer Greene had her Jove Second Chance at Love titles published there digitally. They were originally written as Jeanne Grant. I purchased them all, but have only reread one. I liked most of them in their original versions. I believe she updated them which is one of the reasons they aren't higher in my TBR pile.
Kat Latham's London Legends series is quite good. They're all set around a rugby team in London, but that's just a jumping off point. I wouldn't really consider them to be sports romances.
I've bought all of
Julie Rowe's books with Carina. I liked
Icebound. Wasn't a fan of
North of Heartbreak. Haven't read the others yet.
Haven't read them all yet, but enjoyed the first two books in
Dee J Adams' Adrenaline Highs series.
I didn't care for the first book, but enjoyed the rest of
Stacy Gail's Bitterthorn, Texas series.
Toni Anderson's
Sea of Suspicion was good. I've got the rest of her Carina titles in my TBR.
Christi Barth's Aisle Bound series was more miss that hit, but I liked the first book.
Other Christmas novellas I've liked are
Kinley Cade's
Kissing Her Scrooge,
Brighton Walsh's
Season of Second Chances, and
Jeannette Murray's
No Mistletoe Required.
I know you're not a fan of SF or Steampunk, but if anyone else is on the lookout I liked
PG Forte This Winter Heart and
Anna Hackett's
Winter Fusion.
Also not Christmas-y, but I loved
Jael Wye's
Ladder to the Red Star and
Ice Red (full length books). And
Anna Hackett's first Phoenix Adventure book is a Carina Press title.
I've also bought but not yet read books by Edie Harris, Nico Russo, Elizabeth Harmon, Lynda Aicher, Kelsey Brown, and a bunch of others.
ETA: Just checked and the Christmas anthologies are available on the Harlequin site. I started to list them all, but then realized a few are $9.99 so wouldn't qualify for the free coupon. But most of them would.
Maybe browsing the Carina Press site would be easier for you, then searching by title at the Harlequin site? That's what I would do.
