Christmas Angel

An Angels in the Afterlife Christmas Story

Like Scrooge, only sexier.

Being fully transparent is good for a relationship, right? Well, maybe not when it’s literal.

Christmas Angel is a second-chance, holiday romance with a celestial twist. Probationary angel Jake Hennessy's been sent back to earth to mend fences with his ex. Or has he? Certainly Tony doesn’t seem to think that's the case. 

Tony DiCecco might have ninety-nine problems—and then some—between dealing with his meddlesome family AND running the family business (a Christmas tree farm in rural Texas) but he's pretty sure that playing catch-up with his ex-husband isn’t supposed to be one of them.

And what would even be the point? It’s hard to imagine what kind of future the two of them could have when one of them is alive and the other...isn't.

Mug Shot: Not the Pigs!

What were you thinking, Slovacek's? How could you make a logo using two of the sweetest piggies I've ever seen and then imagine that you could use it to sell sausages to me?

It's a really nice mug overall. It's big, has a nice "hammered" surface and a bit of a matte texture. I do love the pigs. But it actually kind of reminds me of this "It's a Southern Thing" skit:

What I'm Reading: The Rebound (Kelly Jamieson)

I LOVED this series and now it's ending. And what an ending! I've been WAITING extremely impatiently for this book. It's heart-wrenching and beautiful. And it's set in New Jersey! And I know I'll love Kelly's new series, but I would also happily read another dozen New Jersey Storm books. 

The Rebound

Her hockey star ex. A snowy cabin escape. A fake dating scheme to fool their families.

Carson

A family tragedy caused Ayla and I to stop skating in the same direction. I'm burying my head in hockey practice and finding my way back to myself. Now she wants me to pretend we never fell apart for one snowy weekend in the mountains. I tell myself it’s just a favor. But sharing a cabin with the woman I once called home? That’s dangerous ice.

Ayla

Carson and I loved each other, but grief rewrote the rules, and neither of us knew how to play anymore. However, our relationship status isn’t public knowledge and I need him to help keep the illusion intact. Just temporarily for my Nonna’s birthday. Pretending brings back the easy banter, the familiar heat, the moments that once made us a team. The problem? None of it feels fake. But can we get past this one weekend and confront what we have been too scared to talk about and maybe find our way back to each other?

Christmasing With You 
An LA Love Lessons/Ugly Christmas Sweater Story

The sweater was just the beginning…

Mike's been a very good boy this year and Santa Claire has the perfect present picked out for him—one that's both naughty and nice!

One more disaster could be the end…

Mike and Claire were hoping their first Christmas together would be unforgettable. But when their sexy, adult-film-themed weekend abruptly veers into low-budget, chiller-diller territory, they’re left to worry that this Christmas will turn out to be memorable in all the worst ways.

An isolated cabin, a winter storm, a hungry cougar—what could possibly go wrong? In a word: everything.

This Ugly Christmas Sweater short story features the characters Mike and Claire from Let Me Count the Ways (LA Love Lessons, book 3).

Mug Shot: Lemons

Here's another cute mug. I inherited a beautiful lemon-themed cup and saucer from my mother. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where it is at the moment. It got misplaced during our last move. But I guess I'm making lemonade by substituting this mug for it? 

I dunno. The cup I no longer have access to is porcelain and elegant. This mug is big and sturdy, and less likely to break. That sounds less like lemonade and more like griping, to me. 

What I'm Reaing: The Hollow Sea (Jordan L. Hawk)

So I think this is the last book in this series. Which is odd considering that EVERY book I've read lately has been the last book in a series that I've really enjoyed and kind of hate saying goodbye to. 

But, that being said. It's a good read and for those of you who like to wait until a series is complete before reading it, have at it. Both this week, and the next couple of weeks!

The Hollow Sea

The dead will not be silenced.

When Oscar, Nigel, and the rest of the OtP ghost hunters travel to Devil’s Den Island, their job seems simple: lay the ghost of a dead medium to rest at last.

But more than one ghost haunts Devil’s Den, and soon the team realize there’s more to the island’s dark past than they’ve been led to believe. As the fallout from century-old secrets closes in around them, one thing is clear: the dead have a story to tell.

And ignoring it could prove fatal.

Tuesday's Tea: Another Free Read (This week only!)

So, I'm doing a weird Christmas in July type of event this month. Each week I'll be offering a different book for free. Mostly they'll be Christmas books, but this week the book I've chosen to feature is Scent of the Roses, which is very much NOT a Christmas book. 

But it is a 4th of July adjacent book, and I don't think I've offered it for FREE for quite some time. So...enjoy!

Scent of the Roses

Oberon Book 1.0

For years, Scout Patterson has tried to run from the mistakes in her past.  Now, she's coming home--to face the ghosts she's never laid to rest, and the love she thought she'd lost forever.  Reawakening that love would be a dream come true.  Unfortunately, love is not the only emotion that can last forever. 

Memories and dreams are the only things that have gotten Nick Greco through the past twenty years.  Memories of the girl he loved and lost, and dreams of what his life would be like, if he could only find her again.   And if he can bring himself to believe that anything she tells him is true.

 Can the star-crossed lovers put aside the hurt and distrust they still harbor toward each other?  Or will the evil which already nearly destroyed them once, triumph yet again?
