CARRIE, the first book in Lori Wilde's trilogy of holiday
novellas (The Christmas Cookie Chronicles), takes us back to
Twilight, Texas and the Sweetheart Park fountain. The legend
says if you throw a penny into the fountain you will be
reunited with your high school sweetheart and live
happily-ever-after. Except it didn't work for Carrie, whose
sweetheart (well technically ex-husband-of-2-days) left town
and never looked back. Except now he's back hosting a
reality show, Fact or Fantasy, that may debunk the myth and
ruin the town's tourist trade. Can Carrie protect her town
and her heart from the man she never stopped loving?
Whether you are new to Twilight, Texas or a returning fan,
you will enjoy CARRIE. The reunion between Carrie and Mark
is touching and bittersweet. The reality show element
provides a nice twist. You'll have a chance to catch-up on
the lives of couples featured in earlier books in the
series. Though a holiday story, CARRIE is a sweet romance
good for reading any day of the year.
Come join a meeting of the First Love Cookie Club!
“On Christmas Eve, if you sleep with kismet cookies under
your pillow and dream of your own true love, he will be
your destiny.”
Carrie MacGregor doesn’t believe this—not one bit. She
might be a “paid up” member of the Cookie Club and the
local Sweethearts Knitting Club, but she’s not about to
give in to the forced ho-ho-ho of the season. And why? Mark
Leland. When he left town he broke Carrie’s heart. Now, the
local-guy-made good is back, hosting the reality show “Fact
or Fantasy.”
Fact: Mark broke her heart. Fantasy: her friends think
they’ll be getting back together. But could the magic of a
Twilight, Texas Christmas make Carrie’s secret dreams come
true?
