Jill Shalvis is a genius -- or a mind reader -- or perhaps
a cross between the two. How else do you explain why she
just knew we needed to continue the story she started in
Head Over Heels. The story of Chloe and Sawyer -- without
a doubt one of my favorite couples. IN MERRY CHRISTMAS,
BABY Jill Shalvis tells us the next chapter of Chloe and
Sawyer. Usually this can be accomplished in a few
sentences or paragraphs in one of the next installments
in a series, but Shalvis knew her fans wanted a dedicated
story -- even if just a novella -- it would make us all so
happy.
What better time than the holidays to bring happiness to
us all. Shalvis fans have invested quite a bit of humor
and heart in the characters that we have come to know and
love in the Lucky Harbor series.
So in MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY we are treated to the welcome
to the world for baby Thompson known affectionately as
The Bean until the actual birth. Of course it wasn't
going to be the usual having a baby story -- come on now -
it's Chloe and Sawyer and their merry band of friends.
Each of them comes with a richly fabricated tale having
starred in their own Lucky Harbor book.
They are all together to welcome in the newest member of
their gang. And it is going to be an adventure. We
wouldn't expect any less.
Chloe has the worst case of pregnancies rampant hormones
and with her long term insecurities they are creating an
angst filled holiday time. Sawyer's off on still another
mission and Chloe wants to be part of the partying scene
-- even if she is eight months along. She keeps working
her magic on her friends and their husbands getting them
to disobey all the guidelines set by Sawyer in his effort
to keep his wife and their unborn baby safe and sound.
Well of course you know it's not going to happen without
some major hiccups and that's where the joy and fun comes
in. It helps to know that tough guy Sawyer is an
absolutely mush when it comes to his wife. He is an
absolutely romantic. Chloe is such a lucky woman -- even
if in her present state of mind she has some traumatic
doubts.
All's well that ends well and Jill Shalvis knows that her
fans want this extraordinary couple to finally find their
bliss and in MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY with the help of their
friends -- they will.
Looking for a worthwhile novella this season -- MERRY
CHRISTMAS, BABY is it.
SUMMARY
SEASON'S KISSES . . .
Wild child Chloe Thompson can't believe how much things
have
changed. She still can't get enough of her sexy husband
Sawyer, but he seems to prefer working to impending
fatherhood. So tonight, a very pregnant Chloe is escaping
her troubles at the town Christmas party. Sheriff Sawyer Thompson hopes surprising Chloe at the
party
will give him a chance to set things right. But as the
snow
begins to fall and the wind rages, he wonders whether he
can
make it back in time. While mother nature conspires to
keep
Sawyer and Chloe apart, an unexpected arrival will require
them to kiss and make up . . . and ring in the happiest
holiday Lucky Harbor has ever seen.
