Synopsis

Jenny Jorgenson—or Miss Jenny as she’s known to her Kindergarten students—couldn't be more ready for Christmas vacation. But before she can experience the joys of The Most Wonderful Season of All, she has to get 127 five-year-olds to remember their lines for the Kindergarten Christmas program and make sure no one knocks the scenery over—not that that’s what happened last year or anything. Jenny also dreads showing up at her best friend Cheryl’s annual holiday party without a date—for the fifth year running. The only bright spot in her life, at the moment, is Mr. Sanderson, who teaches next door. He’s cute, he’s smart and he’s terrific with kids. Unfortunately, he’s made it clear he’s not looking for love.

My Thoughts

Throw in some cute crazy kids and a pair of teachers who are so ready for Christmas vacation and you got Tinsel Terrors. Jenny has been loveless for a while now and she has one last task before she can enjoy her Christmas vacation and that is putting on the annual Christmas show. So when her friends ask her to their annual Christmas party she doesn’t want to show up alone…again... so she asks her fellow teacher but not all goes as planned. Can two people who weren’t looking for love find it at the least likely place or will things continue as they always have? Tinsel Terrors is one that anyone can bond with especially those who have kind of given up on love, but remember sometimes we all find love in the unlikeliest of people and places.

Synopsis

What if you got a second chance with the one who got away?

Mark Jameson has every reason to be a Scrooge this Christmas. He's been fired from his job and there is a deranged woman stalking him. Just when it seems his life couldn't get any crazier, he unexpectedly reconnects with his high-school crush. The problem? She thinks he's somebody else.

Madeleine Morgan is a successful divorce lawyer and devoted single mother to six-year-old Emily. But when Madeleine has an unexpected run-in with a Santa impersonator, her well-ordered existence suddenly gets a lot more interesting.

My Thoughts

At less than 100 pages I was thinking how good could this book be? I’m so glad I was wrong! This is the cutest book with that laugh out loud romantic element that makes for one fantastic read. We meet Mark who is filling in as Santa when he meets up with his old high school crush Madeleine. Not realizing who he is he decides to play up that angle and let her get to know him as he is now and not as her younger brothers friend. I love that every time they met up he is disguised by his Santa beard which makes for some really laughable moments. If you get a chance please try this short fun and romantic read that is bound to make you see Santa in a really different way.

Synopsis

It’s Valentine’s day and best friends Charlene, Samantha and Claire go out on the town in an attempt to forget that they are once again man-friendless on this most odious of manufactured holidays. What they don’t know is that their luck is about to change.

My Thoughts

This is a very cute short story about finding love in the most unexpected places. Three friends in different phases of their love lives find love when they’re not looking. This is funny and definitely pulls and the heart strings. This will speak to anyone who feels that Cupid and love have forgot about them. While it may seem you are alone it shows you that you never are. There is that someone out there for each of us, we just might have to wait awhile to find them. In the end it’s all worth the wait.
