The other day I was getting desperate to find a satisfying Christmas book. I wanted something fun and flirty, short and sweet. Featuring snow would be a plus (I live in the south!). I wasn't having any luck at my digital library finding the perfect audio book, so I took to the free ebook lists at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I found several that had potential and have already read one of them which fit the bill perfectly. So if you are looking a story filled with holiday magic, but don't have the budget for more books this month I hope these freebies will help you too.
Blake Canon perks up with male interest when he sees a new face at his friend’s Christmas cocktail party. His son is away and a light affair would take his mind off his financial troubles. Then he realizes he knows Liz. She was once married to the brother of his ex-wife.
Their children might be cousins, but Blake and Liz do the kissing—under the mistletoe. It’s the beginning of a new view of Christmas for Liz, but when their children arrive home unexpectedly, and family secrets are revealed, Liz isn’t sure she’ll stay in Marietta for Christmas after all.
Blame the Mistletoe is book 2 in the Montana series, but I couldn't tell I was missing anything by not having read book 1 first. I suspect that each book is focused on different couples with ties to the small town of Marietta. This novella was a fun and flirty quick read (I read in in one night).
Nancy Walker and Woodrow Lawing were friends until the night seventeen-year-old Nancy whacked Woody with a snowball and he chased her behind a tree. She kissed him and expressed her undying love, but at his age of twenty-three and being best friends with Nancy's older brother, Woody didn't share Nancy's teenage crush.
Years passed and they went their separate ways, both believing they had been rejected by the other, but when circumstances bring them together again—Woody a bachelor and Nancy a widow—old feelings emerge. They try to revert to being just friends, yet pain from the past has lessened over time and they wonder if it's really too late for love.
As Christmas snowflakes fall, can miracles really happen?
