Marrying Miss Kringle: Robyn

I love the premise of this story. Christmas is at stake unless a daughter gets married to keep the magic intact. 

Poor Robyn. She's been through so much. Lost her boyfriend. Lost out on being Santa. And home is melting. Enter the dating show to find true love and get married by Christmas Eve. We meet all the family and while following Robyn's story pick up bits and pieces of the other sisters stories. It got me excited to read the rest of the series. 

Lots of fun and magic in this Christmas tale.

Christmas will be ruined…

Robyn Kringle’s sisters make falling in love look easy; but Robyn’s struggled for the last three years.

Set ups? Tougher than peanut brittle.
Club hopping? Not her jam.
Online dating? Like her fruitcake—full of nuts!

With children all over the world counting on stockings full of goodies, Robyn has just two weeks left to find her one true love and save Christmas.

She has a plan.

She’s enlisted help.

But a handsome and scroogie security guard stands in her way.

Take a Cowboy Home for Christmas

 This is a great collection for a holiday read by Ms. Isaacson. Seven stories, I believe all happening at different ranches. So you can get an introductory story into the life at the various locations and then want to go read the series associated with that ranch. A really good marketing technique. 

All the stories are unique, original, and totally satisfying. Ms. Isaacson threads through the inspirational Christianity without being heavy handed or preachy. The focus is on the romance and the how to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of happily ever after. 

A good holiday pick.

Until We Kissed

This sweet story had a slow and steady build that came to a satisfying end.

The characters are relatable, and you'll even wish to give Livvy a slap upside the head a time or two for holding onto her dream of marrying a doctor. Love isn't dictated by jobs but by the heart.

Mason is a near book boyfriend who finds more than inspiration in Livvy and Pine Valley.

Another enjoyable read by Ms. Moore.


AMAZON

Livvy knows Dr. Slade McKinney is the perfect man for her, but when she keeps running into Mason, Livvy discovers fate has a different plan.

USA Today bestselling author Heather B. Moore welcomes you to Pine Valley!

Pine Valley librarian Livvy Harmon has big dreams, which include marrying Dr. Slade McKinney. Trouble is, he’s only kissed her once in their four months of dating, and it wasn’t all that great. But Livvy isn’t ready to give up yet on hooking such an amazing man, even though Slade seems to have time for everyone but her.

When Livvy keeps running into writer Mason Rowe, who seems to be camping out in her library to finish his book under strict orders from his agent, Livvy at first keeps him at arm’s length. But the more their friendship grows, the more she finds that her dream relationship with her doctor boyfriend isn’t so dreamy after all.

Christmas Anthology

As with any anthology, there are some stories I prefer over others. Most of these were well written and edited. They are all clean and wholesome/sweet. They are short stories so easy to fit in during the busy holiday season when you need an escape from all of the hustle and bustle. Short stories can by tricky, and one or two would've worked better as a novella or a fully developed novel.


AMAZON

Six romance-filled Christmas short stories just in time for the holiday at a price that can't be beat. Discover a new author or see what one of your favorites has been writing as you devour these tales while eating a snowman sugar cookie and drinking hot tea by the light of a Christmas tree.

Second Chance at Christmas Inn

Ms. Meyer has created a delicious dilemma for the heroine and hero in this second chance love story.

Their goals are opposite, yet they're stuck at the inn through the holidays, plus there's all that history they need to work through. Surviving the holidays intact is all their hearts can hope for.

It's a wonderful journey reading how Holly and Stephen will work through their emotional hangups beyond each other and ultimately make the decisions that will effect their futures.

Kudos to grandmother for knowing what circumstances needed to happen to bring joy to all of their hearts.

I hope we get a story about Stephen's sister. I'd like to see her fall in love and the incredible man who would win her heart.

An snuggle-up-with-a-blanket-and-hot-cocoa kind of read.

Two Broken Hearts

An Inherited Christmas Inn

And a Grandmother Determined to Bring Them Together


“A Hallmark Christmas movie style, second chance romance” -Amazon Reviewer


Holly Graham is not interested in celebrating Christmas. In fact, she’s renounced the holiday and all the cheer that comes with it. So returning her grandmother’s Christmas Inn was not something she wanted to do. 
Until she found out that in order to sell the inn, she needed to spend one last Christmas there. 
Stephen Jones has two goals this holiday season: run Christmas Inn for one last holiday season and take care of his sister and nephew. Helping the girl he once loved sell the only place he’s ever called home was not in his job description. 
Especially when she’s acting like she’s forgotten everything she once loved about the inn and maybe...him.
Holly is persistent to sell even when Stephen refuses to respect her wishes. Or his adorable nephew pulls at her heart strings. Add the mysterious notes from her grandmother, and Holly’s frozen heart begins to melt. 
Does the magic of Christmas Inn hold enough power to bring these two wandering souls together? 

Find out in Anne-Marie’s Second Chance at Christmas Inn. A sweet, swoon-worthy Christmas romance with toe-curling kisses and all the holiday cheer you could ever want.
