"Both stories are fun reads!"

A Snowball's Chance by Nikki Rivers. I have always enjoyed those stories where total opposites are thrown together, a whole string of disasters happen to them, and they end up getting through everything with their sanity intact. This story is no exception!

Sunny Morgan is rushing to the wedding she's been waiting for since she was eight years old. When a freak April snowstorm diverts the plane she's on from Chicago to Escanaba, Michigan, she panics. When she finds out there are no more cars to rent, she really becomes desperate.

That's where Rory Temple comes in. He's just rented the very last car and he's headed to Chicago to fulfill a promise he made years before to his now dead grandmother Molly. Sunny talks Rory into giving her a ride by telling him she's going to a wedding. He mistakenly thinks it's her wedding she's rushing to. This leads these two on the ride of their lives!

A Christmas Carol by Kathleen O'Reilly. I have always been fascinated by stories where best friends suddenly become attracted to each other, so I especially enjoyed this one.

Carol Martin and Mike Fitzgerald have been best friends for it seems like forever so when they start feeling more than friendship for each other, they just don't know what in the world has come over them. The biggest problem is they are afraid that if they explore these feelings they will lose out on the very best friendship two people could ever have. So what are they to do?

Of course, when you add Carol's domineering matchmaking mother and hilarious Aunt Eleanor to the mix, there's no telling what will happen next. Not only that, Carol's mother just detests Mike. He's just not right for her Carol. That is just not what Carol thinks or believes.

Both of these enjoyable stories where heightened with frivolity and were just downright all around fun reads. Both of these highly entertaining stories lived up to my expectations of how funny and enjoyable I think a Duets should be.
