My all–time favorite holiday movie is far from what
people call a classic. It might not even be thought of as a
holiday movie by some. But as far as I'm concerned, Love
Actually is the best movie for the holidays. It's got it
all. Who can resist six romance vignettes wrapped up and
tied with a holiday bow? In fact, the movie also has my all-
time favorite Christmas song, All I Want For Christmas,
sung by Olivia Olson. You can watch the song's movie
version here.
The entire movie illustrates the love, happiness,
exuberance, joyful and sometimes painful aspects of the
holidays. I believe the same thing can be said for my new
Christmas book, A Bluestocking Christmas. Simon and Ivy's
story is a special one for me. It's not just because it's
set in my favorite time of year (holidays AND era, gotta
love a pun.). I also love the book because of what
Paranormal Romance Reviews calls "illicit word play," and
because it has a new character and everything else a good
Christmas romance book should have...
Sinful words, wicked
pleasures and a ghost all add up to A Bluestocking
Christmas with a Dickens of a twist.
As a young man, Simon, Viscount Wycombe learned the painful
truth that a tradesman's daughter is suitable only for
liaisons and nothing more. But Ivy Beecham is a far cry
from his preconceived notions, and he's determined to have
her. But when she rejects him, it only increases his
determination to seduce her into a world of sin and
pleasure.
Ivy Beecham knows first–hand that handsome
aristocrats like Simon can't be trusted. But the
intellectual scoundrel is hell bent on making her his
mistress, using every means at his seductive disposal. When
she refuses to give away her heart on Christmas Eve, a
ghostly specter shows her in one night why her surrender
can be the greatest gift of all.
