Lazily savoring a pear in her office, Macy Frost was
contemplating why, she of all people, hadn't found The One.
A very successful professional matchmaker, she excelled at
her job, but no one had ignited that elusive spark yet. She
was interrupted in her musings by a knock on the door, and
who should stand there but the most gorgeous Yankee she had
ever seen! Deacon Banks quickly burst her bubble though: he
is in Charleston only for a few weeks, until New Year's in
fact, and he is not looking for his soul mate, only the
occasional date with beautiful and well-connected women to
help his Aunt Fran establish herself in North Carolina
society. Why, I declare, the nerve of those Northerners!
Over a lunch of perfect soup and delectable croque-monsieur,
Deacon's hotness convinces Macy to accept his offer, but
what a torture it is going to be!
CHRISTMAS AT TWO LOVE LANE is a whimsical and bubbly romance
that exudes Southern charm. Kieran Kramer lovingly writes of
Charleston, and so vividly, it feels like coming home. There
is so much more than Deacon and Macy's romance, as the cast
of characters is simply smashing: among others, we have
Macy's business partners, Ella and Greer, and their office
manager Miss Thing who, if CHRISTMAS AT TWO LOVE LANE were a
movie, would visually steal the show! Unless it was
Deacon's Aunt Fran, an outrageous retired New York talk
show host. Deacon and Macy's road to their happy ever after
is a bumpy one: their chemistry is off the charts, they also
like each other, but Macy doesn't relish a fling, and both
characters' pasts explain a lot about their opposite views
on love. There is a lot of emphasis on the world-renowned
Southern good manners and hospitality, and I must say I
found rather appalling Macy and Deacon's completely
inappropriate behavior when overcome by lust.
There is also a secondary romance, lovable critters,
fabulous Charleston food, and much merriment. CHRISTMAS AT
TWO LOVE LANE is an entertaining, unpretentious, and flirty
read told in Kieran Kramer's unmistakable Southern voice.
The best gift of all is the one you share with someone
else. . .
From the moment he strode through the iron gate and into the
offices of Two Love Lane on a crisp December day, it was
obvious that Deacon Banks was something different. He wasn’t
a Charleston native, not with that adorable Yankee accent.
And unlike the usual client at the elegant matchmaking
agency, he had no interest in finding a woman to marry—just
a few no-strings dates while he was in town.
Macy Frost takes her professional services very
seriously—how could she not, when she’s rumored to be a
direct descendant of Cupid? Tech entrepreneur Deacon says
he’s just trying to make his social-climbing aunt happy by
being seen out and about with a few prominent beauties, but
Macy insists she can make her client fall in love…for real.
And Deacon can’t help but think she might be right. As
charming as the palmetto trees and magnificent harbor may
be, it’s the beautiful, breath-of-fresh-air Macy who’s
become Deacon’s favorite part of the scenery. But can the
hopelessly romantic Southern belle stop trying to fix him up
and just let Cupid do his work on her own heart?
