Evie Stryker has just been moved back to Fool's Gold by her
well-meaning brothers after she broke her leg and could not
continue as an NFL Cheerleader. She is teaching dance and
really enjoying her students. When she arrives at the dance
studio two months after she started, she finds a note saying
that the head teacher has eloped with her boyfriend and the
Christmas Eve production of "The Dance of the Winter King"
is all hers to choreograph and produce. Evie has never even
seen the production. Can she pull this off in less than two
months?
Dante Jefferson is also new in town and has a law office
just below Evie's dance studio. He can't stand the stomping
and pounding music when he is trying to work. He heads up
the stairs to chew Evie out, but he cannot find the words
when he lays eyes on such a beautiful creature. Evie and
Dante strike up a friendship and both make it very clear
that they are not looking for a relationship, just some fun
times together to make it through the painful memories of
their past Christmas holidays. However, Evie begins to have
a deep down stirring for something more. Where will this
leave her with Dante?
Susan Mallery gives us another wonderful story from her
Fool's Gold Series. It is always fun to revisit this magical
town and catch up on what has been happening in the past
characters' lives. Festivals, volunteering, giving back to
the community and helping each other are themes that run
through all of the Fool's Gold stories. A FOOL'S GOLD
CHRISTMAS is no different. Evie is overwhelmed at what is
expected of her, but she learns that she can count on the
townspeople to see her through. She and Dante are both
strong characters who are looking for direction in their
lives. Humor and sarcasm in the dialogue give a lift to a
story that has several complicated relationships. It's a
story about letting go of past hurts, past rejections and
letting yourself heal. This story can stand alone, but all
of this series is worth the investment. Enjoy it!
A classic heartwarming tale for the holidays from New York
Times bestselling author Susan Mallery
The cheer in Fool's Gold, California, is bringing out the
humbug in dancer Evie Stryker. An injury has forced her to
return home to her estranged family. So she won't add to the
awkward scenario by falling for the charms of her brother's
best friend, no matter how tempting he is. When she's
recruited to stage the winter festival, she vows to do as
promised, then move on, anywhere but here.
Jaded lawyer Dante Jefferson is getting used to the town he
now calls home, but the pounding of little dancers' feet
above his office is more than he can take. When he confronts
their gorgeous teacher, he's unprepared for their searing
attraction. Evie is his best friend's sister—off-limits
unless he's willing to risk his heart. Dante has always
believed that love is dangerous, but that was before he had
to reckon with the magic of a certain small town, where
miracles do seem to happen….
This is another author that i wait until all of the books in her series are out. Really like the Fool Gold's books. (Sharon Salituro 10:10am September 12, 2013)
