I know today is Thanksgiving. I also know that people are
now beginning to think about Christmas presents. I wanted to make sure you knew
about the Christmas Romances we’ve published this year.
First, Betsy Love has crafted the most wonderful Hallmark-esque
romance, The Miracle of Joie. Joie is an elf, and has been sent by Mrs. Claus
on a special assignment: Eight-year-old Emily needs a mother. Complicating her task
is that there’s only a week left before Christmas. To make matters even worse,
Emily’s father, Matt, is still grieving the loss of his wife in the auto
accident that also put Emily in a wheelchair for life. To top it all off,
another elf, Wink, is obsessed with getting Joie to return to the North Pole
Kingdom and marry him.
When events turn Joie into a human, she loses her magic. The
success of her mission seems impossible, but she still has her wits. Can Joie
get everything fixed in time?
Next is Keri Brooks McWhorter’s Second Love in New York City. Madelyn and Ben – and their families – have been best friends since
they moved in next door to each other. When Madelyn’s husband Luke died, she
swore she’d keep her marriage vows by remaining single for the rest of her
life. Since Ben joined the widower club, they’ve relied on each other for
everything. Best friends to the end.
Now Madelyn’s daughter and Ben’s son are getting married.
Everyone’s headed to New York for the Christmas wedding, including Heather, the
woman Ben’s been dating. Will Heather succeed in breaking up Madelyn and Ben’s
friendship, or will they discover the love that’s been bubbling beneath the surface
all these years?
If that's not enough Christmas romance for you, check out Natalie Peck's A Gigolo for Christmas. It's not new this year, but it's still a good fun read.
Shelia Everett couldn't have imagined a worse company Christmas party. By the end of the evening, she'd been fired and evicted. Fortunately, her boss' date, Anders Adamson, was willing to help her repair the damage. He even offered to help her get a job at his escort service. What's a good girl to do when she discovers she's fallen in love with a gigolo?
