"...and a Happy New Year"
MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY, is a six in one anthology by Brava
that has a little something for everyone. In Donna Kauffman's MAKING WAVES, Burke Morgan is stunned
when his long time friend takes a job in Australia, just
when he is getting ready to start his own charter
business. He agrees to take on his friend's granddaughter
for a trial run. What he gets is someone who gets under
his skin and who he wants to get in his bed.
Kamala is anxious to work on the charter business. The
money she will make will be enough to start her own
catering business. There is one slight problem though, she
neglected to mention she gets seasick, but Burke's cure
for it may just be the ticket she needs to get over it. MAKING WAVES is the latest in Donna Kauffman's Morgan
family series. It was fun to read about Christmas being
celebrated without the snow, ice and cold and instead in a
beautiful tropical setting. Let It Snow by Nancy Warren, is what Marisa and Rob start
to hope for when they are stuck on the roof of their tv
station. While there they are forced to come to terms with
their feelings for one another. Rob has been attracted to
Marisa for the last few months, but he has done everything
he can think of to fight it. When he realizes she is as
attracted to him as he is to her, will this be a one time
thing or will they have something that will last forever?
Rob and Marisa are total opposites, she is an eternal
opposite while he is anything but. LET IT SNOW shows that sometimes opposites do attract. YOU, ACTUALLY by Lucy Monroe has two best friends
realising that they can be so much more then friends.
Josh is a cartoonist who has decided to reveal his true
feelings for Cassidy on Christmas Eve. He has loved her
ever since he met her, and he wants her to know it. He has
high hopes when he notices that Cassidy just may want the
same thing. YOU, ACTUALLY was really sweet and romantic with two
longtime friends realising they were meant to be together. UNDERCOVER CLAUS by Mary Janice Davidson was definitely
the funniest one out of the six. Corinne Bullwinkle is
working undercover as a Salvation army bellringer, dressed
as Santa. She is on the lookout for a purse snatcher who is
determined to ruin everyone's holiday. Things get really interesting when she meets Grant, a guy
who is in town from the UK in charge with an unpleasant
job, laying off people at Christmastime. In Lucy Monroe's Silver Bella, Bella Jackson is a top
runway model, while working a show in Houston, she sees
Jake Barton. Jake is there with his sister and can't help
but be atrracted to Bella. He gets Bella to agree to stay with him for two weeks
after the show ends, but will Jake be able to let Bella go
after the two weeks are over? Silver Bella is heartwarming and steamy as only Lucy
Monroe can write them. SNOW DAY by Susanna Carr is what Tyler and Karen get when
they are snowbound together after a blizzard. Karen has
long been considered the town outsider while Tyler couldnt
get out of it fast enough. Will Tyler and Karen overcome their mistaken ideas about
each other and realize they belong together? SNOW DAY
will tug at your heartstrings as you feel for Karen as she
deals with a reputation that others won't let her forget. MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY, will certainly get you in the
holiday spirit. Each novella is sexy, romantic and will
make you feel good after you read the last page.
