There is no shortage of great holiday reads this year!

About the Book

Christmas Town’s city attorney Lincoln Vasser suspects the multi-million-dollar lawsuit threatening the town is a fraud, but he needs help proving it. Private Investigator Jax Marshall comes highly recommended, but when Lincoln hires her he can’t quite figure out why. Her laid-back attitude, questionable work ethic, and apparent unconcern for the urgency of the case rub him the wrong way. It doesn’t make sense for him to be attracted to her.

Jax Marshall knows that taking a case for the arrogant Lincoln Vasser is a mistake. But when he makes her an offer much more tempting than money, she agrees. She soon wishes she hadn’t. The guy is demanding and uptight, and, worst of all, he keeps trying to tell her how to do her job! He’s almost completely unlikable. Almost.

One thing they can agree on is that happy ever afters are strictly for fairytales and Christmas Town myths. Finding a way to work together is difficult enough, admitting that they’re falling in love is going to take an extra little nudge from that very Christmas Town magic they don’t believe in.

The Undercover Bridesmaid by Kimberley Montpetit – Review

September 5, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

A family wedding/social event and a potential jewelry heist mean professional bridesmaid Chloe Romano is going to need to utilize all of her skills.

In My Opinion…

There is lots of history between Chloe and her handler (and a very fine line between love and hate). Add in the high tension and emotions surrounding the big event and the possibility the groom is a criminal, and there is no shortage of Drama (yes, with a capital D).

Chloe is intelligent, strong, and more fearless than she gives herself credit for. Her main focus is on giving her cousin the perfect day, and if that means protecting the diamonds she’ll be wearing, so be it. And while Chloe aims for a great wedding for the bride, the bride is set on matching Chloe up (because what’s a wedding without someone trying to match up the single gal).

The Songs of You and Me by Mylissa Demeyere

Jane Hartford fell head over heels for Jackson at the tender age of fifteen. She spent most of high school pining for him, until she realized he wasn’t going to see her as anything more than his baby sister’s best friend. Now she finds herself single with a daughter, a broken heart, and songs that remind her of a long lost love.

Jackson Wright is a man living with regret. His biggest one, never acting on his feelings for Jane. When he returns to Bellebrook, the town they grew up in, he literally runs into her and his world gets tossed upside down and sideways.

This time, Jackson isn’t willing to give up. With a meddling sister eager to push both of them together, he believes things might actually work out. That is, if they can overcome the heavy baggage they both carry. Follow Jackson and Jane as they revisit their past, figuring out what went wrong so long ago.

Will they learn they have the power to make things right in the present?

The Twin Test by Rula Sinara – Review

June 25, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

In My Opinion…

I love to travel, but I’m also a realist and know that there is no way finances and time will allow me to see everything I want to. So, the next best thing is escaping to new and exciting places within the pages of a book.

The Twin Test is several books into Rula Sinara’s From Kenya, With Love series, but it’s the first one I’ve been able to pick up. And what an adventure ride it was!

From the wildlife (including an elephant rescue) to the dangers to the environment due to the practices of an oil company, there is a lot to absorb in this story. And I haven’t even mentioned the eleven-year-old twins who are intently focused on driving away outsiders.
