Holiday | Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

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?
