FINDING CHRISTMAS (CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK) BY JEANNIE MOON
SYNOPSIS
Small town Holly Point wasn’t big enough to hold the dreams of golden girl Maggie Benson. So when she left at eighteen, she flew right through college and into the adrenaline-pumping life of a navy fighter pilot. But without warning, a devastating crash destroys the career she loves and sends her back to her overly protective family to heal. Maggie can’t imagine how she can reconnect with the woman she was until the hot local high school basketball coach steps up to show her the way.
Former NBA star Will Fitzgerald knows how an injury can derail more than a career. Still, he’s happy with his life as a teacher and coach at Holly Point High School, until his quiet life is upended by the beautiful, brilliant, and hurting Maggie. Blindsided by the intense attraction, Will wonders if pursuing the woman of his dreams will answer the question of what’s been missing in his life.
Can Maggie trust enough again to let Will past her wounds, inside and out, so that they can both find the Christmas magic they’ve been searching for?

REVIEW: A CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING BY MELISSA MCCLONE
A Christmas Homecoming by Melissa McClone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Christmas Homecoming is a short and sweet holiday treat. First off let me say that one of the things I find to be most intriguing about the story is it's tempo. I loved how she slowly leads the reader into a love story between the two main characters. That made the story for me so much more emotional because I got to learn some of the back history of their relationship as the story went on. One of the reasons that I always come back to Ms. McClone is that her understanding of emotion in her writing is superb. She is never showy but gets her point across and leaves me loving her work.

Three Nights before Christmas by Kat Latham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is proof positive that one mistake does not define who we are. That is why I fell in love with this book and these characters. Lacey is a good person that trusted the wrong man and it ended up costing her three years of her life, her reputation and her self- respect. Austin has seen Lacey at her lowest and was instrumental in her spending three years in prison. Trusting Lacey is not easy for him. Needing her help is unexpected. As they work together for a good cause and he gets to know the insecure girl with the big heart, he starts to question all he thought he knew. Will his actions years before ending up costing him dearly? Or will Austin and Lacey find their own Christmas miracle? Kat Latham has written another wonderful tale. Lacey was one of Ms. Latham's best character's. In spite of the shame she endured she was still determined to prove she was more than her criminal past.

Some Girls Don't by Amy Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jarrod and Selena have many things in common. They both are dedicated to their careers. Selena is a reporter on the verge of making it big. Jarrod is a firefighter that thrives on the excitement. Have unsettled issues with how their past relationship worked out and are still as combustible years later. Some Girl's Don' t by Amy Andrews is a flammable read about facing the past and taking steps to build a stronger future. Pride before ego does not a relationship make. The good, the bad and the naughty all collide to make an awesome story that is short and entertaining.
