HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY: ONE CHRISTMAS WISH (HEART OF THE ROCKIES NOVELLA) BY SARA RICHARDSON.

ONE CHRISTMAS WISH (HEART OF THE ROCKIES NOVELLA)

BY SARA RICHARDSON

Release Date: November 3, 2015

SYNOPSIS

'TIS THE SEASON FOR SECOND CHANCES . . .

There's nothing like a Christmas wedding to warm a girl's heart-or to distract everyone else from the fact that one particular bridesmaid intends to quickly skip town. Julia Noble's accident was years ago, and she's tired of being overprotected. She needs to be on her own. But before she flees Aspen, Colorado, Julia wants to make sure her brother has the perfect wedding and all her ducks are in a row. Yet duty soon turns to pleasure when three days before the big day Julia runs into the only man she ever dreamed of marrying.

Fresh out of the navy, Isaac Nash just wants to feel normal again. But starting his new life means winning back the girl who captured his heart years ago. Isaac didn't know the truth behind the tragedy that changed Julia's life forever, and he can't stop blaming himself for not being there for her. After all this time, he knows that Julia is what he wants, this and every Christmas. Now Isaac just has to convince her that she's earned a miracle, too . . .

REVIEW: ONE CHRISTMAS WISH (HEART OF THE ROCKIES NOVELLA)

BY SARA RICHARDSON

One Christmas Wish by Sara Richardson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story made me really emotional. Julia could have easily been bitter about all that she had to face within her young life. Yet she handled the obstacles put before her with strength and optimism. In fact she dealt with it better than those around her. Her courage is what I believe help Isaac to face his own issues. Her gentle spirit and kind heart made her resilience all the more incredible and is what was most inspiring about this novel. I have read exactly two stories by Sara Richardson. Something Like Love and One Christmas Wish. Her ability to write inspiring characters is a beautiful facet of her storytelling. Requested an ARC of One Christmas Wish from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

View all my reviews

EXCERPT

Julia didn’t scare easily. Having seventeen surgeries makes a person pretty tough, but being trapped in an elevator with Isaac Nash made her hands tremble. She struggled to push the button for floor 3 under the watchfulness of his eyes.

When he didn’t move, she glared up at him. “Let me guess. You’re staying on the third floor, too?”

He only grinned. “Sure am.”

The doors rolled closed and she had this sense of the walls pressing in on her. He had such a commanding presence. The elevator didn’t have enough space for him and her inflamed heart.

The contraption started to grind up, up, up, but then Isaac reached across her and slapped the Stop button. The elevator shuddered, then halted, lurching her stomach into her throat.

“What are you doing?” she squeaked, her heart taking off and orbiting around her chest again. She couldn’t be this close to him. Couldn’t stare into those eyes.

“Who was on the phone?” he asked casually.

“That’s none of your business.” She tried to sound outraged instead of nervous. Because he had her body in total disarray. Mercy. She had to get out of here. Before he realized how much he made her squirm. She raised her hand again, but he blocked her access to the number buttons.

“Why’d you tell them you have a husband?”

“Like I said. None of your business.” She considered shoving him to the side, but the man was as solid as an oak.

“Tell me who was on the phone and I’ll get the elevator going again,” he taunted.

A cloud of heat closed her in. Okay. She had no choice. She had to get out of here. ASAP. “It was a woman who breeds dogs.”

“Dogs,” he repeated.

“Yes. They breed golden retrievers and train them to assist people in wheelchairs. These dogs are very sought after.” If he must know. “I’ve been hoping to get one for months.” Ever since she’d first had the idea to leave. She knew she didn’t want more hired assistants. She truly wanted to be on her own. While doing research, she’d found out about these specialized mobility assistance dogs that were trained to turn on and off lights, to get things off the counter, to retrieve shoes out of the closet. They could even help you get dressed. She knew that was exactly what she’d need in Dallas.

“So you’re getting a dog?” Isaac leaned against the doors as though settling himself in.

“The woman called and told me they selected my application.” She eyed the number buttons. If she moved lightning-fast, she might be able to hit one before he could react. Though he had been trained as a SEAL. Sighing, she gave in to her fate. “She said I can pick up the dog in Leadville tomorrow.”

“Great,” Isaac said, as though genuinely happy for her.

Yes. It was. Almost. “Except they assumed I was married. Apparently it says on the application they only adopt their dogs out to couple or families. In case something happens to one of them.” So single people need not apply…

Isaac’s head slanted as though considering that. “So you and your husband are supposed to go pick up the dog tomorrow.”

“I don’t have a husband,” she reminded him. Though she supposed Theodore Mosley was available on short notice….

No. No. She did not need a man to help her with this. “I’ll just take Mother’s car service over there. And I’ll tell them I’m not married.” Though the woman had sounded adamant. We can’t wait to meet you and your husband, she’d said. He is coming, isn’t he? We like to know our dogs are going to wonderful homes…

“I’ll take you.”

She flinched, sending the wheels of her chair bumping into the elevator’s back panel. “What?”

“I’ll take you to Leadville. Pretend to be your husband,” he offered with a shrug that said it was no big deal.

Had he lost his mind? It was a huge deal. The way her heart fell all over itself, you’d have thought Bono was asking to accompany her. “No.” Her head shook until her hair covered her eyes. “You don’t have to do that.” He really shouldn’t do that. Because what kind of complications would that cause for her right now?

“It can’t be more than a two hour drive, right?” Isaac asked, finally pushing the button for floor number three, thank the good lord. “We’ll drive over there, charm the pants off of those people and get you your dog. Then I’ll drive you home. It’ll take us six hours. Tops.”

Six hours. Six hours of doing her best to avoid his eyes so she wouldn’t get sucked into the infatuation zone again. Six hours of smelling that appetizing manly scent. Six hours of clenching her lady parts to make them behave.

“Really, Julia.” His hand rested on her shoulder.

When had that area become an erogenous zone?

“Let me do this for you. I’d like to help. What other option do you have?”

As much as she hated hearing those words for the better part of her life, she knew he was right. She couldn’t refuse him. She needed this dog.

Which meant she needed Isaac.

In a halleluiah moment, the bell dinged and the elevator doors rolled open.

“Fine,” she said as she wheeled herself out of the elevator, hands shaking like she’d just pushed herself five miles. Uphill. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Nine o’clock in the dining room.”

“See you then,” he called while she booked it down the hall.

Once safely inside of her suite, she locked the deadbolt and sat staring at the door.

Well, wasn’t that nice? She’d found herself a husband. Wouldn’t Mother be ecstatic.

About the author

After a brief stint in the corporate writing world, she stopped ignoring the voices in her head and started writing fiction. Now, she uses her experience as a mountain adventure guide to write stories that incorporate adventure with romance. Still indulging her adventurous spirit, Sara lives and plays in Colorado with her saint of a husband and two young sons.

When rock stars have too much time on their hands, they naturally turn to one thing...having a good time. A girlfriend. An ex-girlfriend. A best friend. A matchmaker. Four rock stars on tour. Plans are bound to backfire, but when they go right, it creates One Hot Christmas.

Nick - AM Madden

A one-night stand that broke all the rules. It was supposed to be one night. It was supposed to be meaningless--with no emotion. Just desire and passion. But it was so much more... By definition, a one-night stand is simply a sexual encounter lasting only a single night. Meaningless, mindless, detached fornication without an expectation of further relations. Each party then resumes their lives as if never having met the other. On a snowy night in Chicago, Nick and Angela had a one-night stand…and rewrote the definition.

Coming Home - Taryn Plendl

She wanted a one night stand. He wanted more. Iowa winters can be brutally cold, but when Ella Marks and Matteo Lazos get together, the results are sizzling. When life is up in the air, sometimes coming home for the holidays is the only way to find solid ground.

Christmas is in three days, and I have eight states to cross before I get home. Mother Nature and kismet have joined forces in an attempt to ruin this holiday season as flights across the East Coast have been canceled due to a snowstorm. I hate traveling nearly as much as I hate the snow.

Stay Awhile - Gia Riley

Garrett Kristoff’s living the life he’s always wanted, yet something’s missing. As a well-respected surgeon, he’s seen it all. But even he isn’t prepared for his next case.

Will Megan hold onto the only man she's ever loved, or accept the truth that will change her world forever? This Christmas, they could all use a miracle.

White Midnight - Shari J. Ryan

Christmas isn’t the same anymore, but at least I still have my little tree and the two unopened gifts that will forever haunt me. That’s what Christmas is to me now—sadness and bad luck. But then I met Bex in the middle of a blizzard in the mountains of New Hampshire (Did I mention I’m from Florida?). A chance encounter with this ruggedly good-looking mountain-man might just make me question how bad my luck really is.

A Holiday Discovery - Ellie Keys

Maria, a reporter, is in the center of a big story while on a trip. The decision: adventurous holiday or career goldmine?

Christmas Letters - Christina Benjamin

Rae has never loved Christmas much. Bouncing from place to place in the foster system didn’t afford her very fond holiday memories. This Christmas is proving to be one of her most difficult yet when she starts to receive mysterious letters counting down the 12 days until Christmas. At first she thinks the letters are just a prank, but whoever is sending them knows startling details about her life and most recent failed relationship.

Christmas in the City by Samantha Chase

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christmas in the City is a labor of love. It celebrates many types. From secret crushes to matchmaking children. From second chances to new found romances. From the sexy and sweet to heartbreaking. There is something for every reader. This anthology has it all. For me it was hard to pick one story because so many great authors were involved. I would describe Christmas in the City as a smorgasbord for the senses. With all the variety, who needs to chose. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she's not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.

My name is Elizabeth Hayes and I am from the Midwest. I have a few things I just happen to obsess over those include Hot pink and Zebra print, Unicorns, and cupcakes, and Books, I love to read and get lost in a book. I have thought about writing for a long time now and finally started to put words down. Ashlee and I are both new at this and our first book Finding Salvation is going to be thrown out there for you all to read. I must say I am having a hard time with this. I am the type of person that likes to know the outcome before I do anything. I want to know that this is going loved by most of you. The thing is I know that this book is going to be hopefully liked by some, hopefully loved by some, hated by some and just ok to some and I think I am finally ok with that. I am stepping out of my comfort zone. I hear that is a good thing. But with everything time will tell. So there you go! If you want to know more just ask.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A forbidden affair can only lead to heartache. Unwrapping the Castelli Heir by Caitlin Crews is dramatic, deceptive, sensual and revealing. Soap opera worthy story telling.

REVIEW: BREAKING BAILEY'S RULES (THE WESTMORELANDS) BY BRENDA JACKSON

Breaking Bailey's Rules by Brenda Jackson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brenda Jackson's stories are always provocative, noteworthy and uplifting reads. I have been a fan of hers since I was eighteen and know that every word she writes, every story she creates genuinely means something to her and her many fans around the world. Myself included. Family, friendships and love are focal points in every story she writes. That is one of the things I like most about the Westmorelands. Breaking Bailey's Rules was bittersweet to read because getting to know the Westmorelands of Denver is on the verge of ending. I liked Bailey. With the love and support of her family she has grown up to be her own woman. She speaks her mind and loves her family. What's interesting about Bailey is even though she has plenty of family that she knows can be counted on, she is still looking for a place to call her own. Walker is the complete opposite of Bailey. He's a loner that has been dealt a rough hand by life. He loves hard but grieves hard also. It took many false starts and missteps but Bailey and Walker finally got it right. Knowing that the Denver Westmorelands are winding down saddens me but Ms. Jackson did supply A beacon of light with the Outlaws. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Breaking Bailey's Rules is full of surprises, romance and family. What more could any reader ask for?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As the end of the year draws closer and weather draws ever colder it's nice to forget the outside world for a little bit. Winter Wedding Bells allows that.

Whether giving love a second chance with the one you can't forget, falling (literally) into the arms of love when you least expect or making a major decision that could leave behind regret. Full of stories that are a pleasure to read.

COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (MATCHMAKING MAMAS) BY MARIE FERRARELLA

Release Date: November 1, 2015

SYNOPSIS

TRUE LOVE IN HIS STOCKING?

They say you can't go home again, but Keith O'Connell wasn't worried about staying. He was just back in town to sell his late mother's house and try to avoid old emotions. Of course, hiring estate sale specialist Kenzie Bradshaw meant the possibility of creating new memories before he left. Especially once the Matchmaking Mamas hatched a plan.

Kenzie Bradshaw was used to the turmoil involved in estate sales, though she'd never had a client like Keith. He wanted everything gone. She knew, however, there were some things—some memories—he shouldn't lose. Convincing him to spend one last Christmas in his family's home could melt his hardened heart. But would it bring back the man she used to know and love?

REVIEW: COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (MATCHMAKING MAMAS) BY MARIE FERRARELLA

Coming Home for Christmas by Marie Ferrarella

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Coming Home for Christmas is a story about facing the past, dealing with loss and giving love a chance. I will admit this story had me crying throughout. Keith has experienced a lot of heartbreaking loss in his life and whether than face the memories and grief, he has bottled up his emotions and closed his heart to more pain. When he can put off going home no longer he comes face to face with the one person that stirs up all the feelings he refuses to face. Ms. Ferrarella balances this tearjerker with comedic relief in the form of secret matchmakers that are both funny and help with the healing process. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
