Her Christmas Chance (A Christmas Creek Romance) by Rachelle Ayala

Review:

 

Life is too short and serious to not look at the lighter side.  That's what I love about Ms. Ayala, she finds humor in the humorless, magic in the heartbreaking, hope in the unattainable. Her philosophy is anything is possible with a little love, a ton of faith and a lifetime of optimism.  Case in point:  Her Christmas Chance.   For Bella, the world has been a challenging place and her body her worst enemy, but her heart is her greatest asset.  Her empathetic nature helps her experience life in a different way.  She sees beauty where others find despair.  Chance is no hero.  He's made one too many mistakes and disappointed the people that love him most, but even when hope is lost, he has a cheerleader waiting in the wings, encouraging him to become a better man.  A great story, has basis in realism and Her Christmas Chance deserves high praise for that.

Audiobook Review: Her Christmas Chance (A Christmas Creek Romance) by Rachelle Ayala

Review:

 

For me reading a story is like watching a movie.  In my mind there's an image of how the scene will play out, but it doesn't always end up that way.  Her Christmas Chance is like a wonderful gift.  It inspires and entertains while waking up even the blackest of hearts.  The words were all there, the beauty was evident, all that Bella and Chance needed was the perfect voice to bring their fairy tale to life. Kate Marcin proved the right person for that tough job.  It's only fitting that since the author put so much of herself on display that the narrator do likewise.  Ms. Marcin made every teardrop worth crying and every smile a well earned reward.

Once Upon a Ghost (Murder by Design) by Erin McCarthy

Review:

 

Once Upon a Ghost is as unique as Erin McCarthy.  I'm still trying to figure her out as an  author, but boy am I enjoying the experience.  It takes a vivid imagination to come up with characters as eccentric as they are lovable.  Where else would you find a designing ghost whisperer and her brand of over the top scenarios and haunting clients? Mysteries tend to get too serious and Ms. McCarthy delivers all the intrigue with a hint of light, crazy and fearless fun.

Hope at Christmas by Nancy Naigle

Review:

 

Nancy Naigle is an author that makes her point known while laying the groundwork for captivating stories.  Hope at Christmas gives voice to a woman finding her wings and rediscovering her heart.  Adulthood has not been easy for Sydney.  An unhappy marriage, a controlling ex - husband and a divorce that's left her twisting in the wind.  A fresh start is just what she needs to feel like herself again. Returning home with a daughter and not much else is hard, risking her heart while rebuilding her life is not what she envisioned, but could end up being the most rewarding experience of her life.  New beginnings are hard to come by, but worth the effort.

Christmas in Kilts by: Bronwen Evans, Terri Brisbin, Lecia Cornwall, Lavinia Kent, May McGoldrick

Review:

 

These highlanders set fire to the rain as they inspire faith in love. Christmas in Kilts is a plethora of lust, love and hot, sexy men. Terri Brisbin gives hope to a woman that never had a chance.  Bronwen Evans shares the pitfalls of instant love that was never part of the plan. May McGoldwick and Lecia Cornwall blend sentiment and seduction as they spark up a bit of romance while Lavinia Kent starts a bit of something, something in a tempting dance of chance.  Togetherness, temptation and seduction are found behind the kilt.  A spicy band of holiday fun.

REVIEW: STUD FINDER (1001 DARK NIGHTS) BY LAUREN BLAKELY

 

Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Known for her masterfully written, mysteriously intriguing and dangerously tempting romances, Lauren Blakely is never afraid of trying something new. This time around she takes the hint and jumps right on board the romantic comedy express. Stud Finder is an extension of the sense of humor that is highlighted throughout her previous works. Dylan and Evie are just geeky enough to be adorable. All the smarts in the world, still can't save these two from being clueless when it comes to love. When you find yourself fantasy casting the main characters, you know you're in for a fun time.

“Witty dialogue, fun dates, and a deliciously nerdy hero all match perfectly with a heroine who doesn't really know she needs all that until it's right there in front of her. Lauren Blakely has another winner with this one!”

 

~Crystal, Bookseller

 

 

 

 

“Warning: You will get addicted to the DRUG that is Lauren Blakely's writing!!!”

EXCERPT

 

The problem solver in me comes out in full force. I must show him the beauty of a made bed. “Come with me.” I grab the basket of mostly-eaten chips, dump the rest, return the salsa tubs to the counter for cleaning, and reach into my wallet to leave a generous tip in the jar.
He clasps his hand over mine, shaking his head. “My treat,” he says, his voice a soft, sexy whisper. I want to protest, to tell him I insist, but he curls his hand tighter, and I’m speechless.
His hand on mine sparks a wave of goosebumps on my arms, my body telling me I like his hands on me. I want more of his touch. I imagine how I’d feel if he ran his hand up my arm, to my shoulder, through my hair. A shudder races through me, and I do my best to tamp down my reaction to a suddenly overactive imagination.
“Thank you,” I say, my voice like a feather.
“You’re welcome.” His eyes never stray from mine, and for a sliver of time he holds my gaze by the counter at Mama une’s.
Then I wrestle my attention back to my plan. We leave, and fifteen minutes later, I stroll through the front doors of the Luxe Hotel. My friend Nate Harper is the CEO, and I’ve texted him for a quick favor. The concierge greets me and hands me a room key card. Dylan and I walk past the chichi sushi restaurant in the lobby, head to the elevator, and soon arrive at room 521. I slide the card in the door.
Dylan sets a hand on my arm. “Are you trying to seduce me?”
“No,” I say quickly. Too quickly. I’m not trying to seduce him at all.
I open the door, and a perfectly modulated blast of cool air greets us. We stroll across the navy carpet to a king-size bed perfectly appointed with a gorgeous white duvet and mountains of blue velvet pillows. I gesture to it, as if I’m a saleswoman, showing it off. “Tell me. Doesn’t this bed make you want to do everything on it?”
Then, to demonstrate my point, I fall back onto it, like a snow angel.
I prop myself on my elbows and meet his eyes. His green irises darken, and his lips part. He stares at me, and something shifts. The look in his eyes is no longer challenging. He’s not asking me to prove a point. His eyes are hungry. He stares as if he’s considering my question seriously, and I realize that maybe it does sound as if I’m trying to seduce him. I’ve pushed the limits here. I’m in a hotel room, trying to prove a point to a client, and in reality, my skirt is riding up my thighs, and I’m sprawled on a pristine, inviting bed.
