My Review

This was a sweet, fun to read, holiday twist of the classic “The Christmas Carol” story. I love heartwarming Harlequin books because they are clean, easy to read, entertaining and a great escape from real life.

I have read other books by this author and especially enjoyed this one because of the holiday theme and wedding venue-so magical! I liked the main characters Phoebe and Cash (although he was very stubborn and clueless sometimes!) and their playful banter and how their friendship grew over the story.

Cash gets visited by 3 previous women from his past (like the ghosts in The Christmas Carol) where he is able to come to terms and figure out what went wrong. Don’t we all wish we could have a redo or figure out what went wrong in a relationship?

Lots of laughs and holiday spirit in this entertaining story. I really enjoyed it!

“Otherwise Engaged” by Joanna Barker

I really enjoyed reading this clean Regency Romance! I loved Rebeccas’s wit, enthusiasm for life, and her determination to never give up despite her accident. The other main character-her neighbor-Lieutenant Nicholas was also a great character! I liked reading about his love for family and his acceptance as plans he thought he once wanted, had changed. I liked reading about their friendship and their love for the outdoors and learning. Rebecca’s family and how they teased and protected her was also a good element in the story and showed the importance of family.

I love reading about the time period and their customs and “proper behavior”. I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed this one as well! This was a great, easy to read story! It made me laugh and smile many times through out-highly recommend if you like clean regency romances.

About the Book:
Constantly stifled by the rules of Society, spirited Rebecca Rowley enjoys finding ways to quietly or not so quietly rebel. But riding bareback and avoiding nosy neighbors are nothing compared to the thrilling secret she is keeping from her family.
When Rebecca’s quick thinking saves the life of a young girl, she unwittingly attracts the attention of the child’s dashing brother, Lieutenant Nicholas Avery. As that attention turns flirtatious, Rebecca is forced to tell him the truth: she is secretly engaged to the one man her family would never approve of. Fortunately, Lieutenant Avery is a navy man with no wish to marry, or so they both assume as they enter into a friendship. Rebecca hopes to change her family’s mind about her betrothed, but the more she comes to know the handsome lieutenant, the more she wonders if she promised her hand too hastily.

After all her carefully laid plans are shattered during a family crisis, Rebecca must force her heart to decide. Should she stay true to the promise she made or fight for the future she’s only just begun to imagine?

MY REVIEW:

I knew from the very beginning of this book that I would be reading it long into the night so I could finish. From the very first chapter I was drawn into the story and the main characters Melissa, Dylan and US Marshall Miles.

I love “cowboy lawman” romantic suspense books and this book hit the mark for me! I loved reading about Mile’s family and ranch and hope to read more books about them specifically. I loved the way they protected their family and helped Melissa and Dylan when they were in danger.

Non stop action, clean romance, a lawman pretending to be married to his witness assignment, mobsters… Highly recommend reading this fast paced book but once you  start you won’t want to put it down!

“Christmas on the Coast” (The Off Season #3) by Lee Tobin McClain

This was a good story but it honestly wasn’t one of my favorites with all the complicated drama and negative characters.

The main characters Paul and Amber both have alot of emotional baggage and medical issues that they try to work thru during this story. All the while trying to help each other but fight the growing “forbidden” attraction. Meanwhile Paul’s inlaws keep coming into town sabotaging his friendship with Amber and complicating things with his young son.

Also throughout this book, Amber’s bookstore owner friend Mary has complications as a person from the past tries to bully and manipulate her. Mary tries again and again to help her and forgive, but it seems to escalate the abuse more.

This story deals with complicated life issues like infidelity, cancer, murder, bullying, guilt and abuse. These are real life situations so this book is definitely not as “light hearted” as I would have hoped or wanted. But elements like love, forgiveness, acceptance and God’s grace are also portrayed.

This book was nicely written and I have read several other books by this author that I have enjoyed more.

About the Book:
Former police officer Paul Thompson has come to the little town of Pleasant Shores to heal his PTSD. The prescription involves volunteering, therapy and, most of all, a stable routine for his young son. Falling for Amber Rowe, however, would make that stability impossible. Even though she immediately bonds with little Davey, Amber’s future is filled with uncertainty, and Paul can’t bear to see his son love and lose someone else.

Amber got to know Paul’s late wife while writing a book about cancer. In doing so, she learned a secret that could tear Paul’s world apart. Keeping her distance is the best way to avoid unwittingly causing turmoil for a man she’s come to care about more than she ever intended. But as Christmas draws near and their joint volunteer project develops, so does the depth of their feelings. And soon, Amber will have to choose between keeping a promise and committing to a risky love…

“The Cowboy’s Christmas Blessings” by Jill Kemerer

This was such a fun, sweet book to read! I really loved it! Judd and Nicole were great characters and I loved reading how they worked together to help each other with the triplets and with baking. The cover of the book only shows 1 baby which I think is the baby girl who seemed to bond with Judd the quickest. Isn’t it such a cute cover? I highly recommend this sweet holiday story about love and second chances.
