Christmas with the Rileys! I don't think the holidays can get better than that! In HOLDAY GAMES, Jaci Burton takes readers further into Liz and Gavin's married life. One year into their marriage and Liz is wondering why she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Is there something wrong with them? How will this affect their relationship? This brings on a lot of stress on her. Furthermore, Liz is hosting a Christmas party for the Rileys which we all know will result in a lot of chaos. Burton creates the perfect combination of sultry and sweet in this holiday novella. Professional baseball player, Gavin seems less concerned about the issue and more interested in the process of baby making. One of my favourite things about this series is the focus on family and the unconditional love that the heroes have for their women. They may be athletes and have many passions in their lives, but nothing really comes close to their devotion to their women. When you add the development that Burton does with this novella, you have a wonderfully written story that has it all -- heat, heart and happiness. If you are a loyal follower of this series, make sure you do not miss out on this story. It isn't a filler, in my opinion, but an update on past characters with more advancements that I think loyal fans will enjoy and devour. HOLDAY GAMES possesses everything the Play-by-Play series has to offer, just with a sweet holiday twist!

SUMMARY

AN ALL-NEW PLAY-BY-PLAY NOVELLA New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jaci Burton’s “must- read” (Fresh Fiction) Play-By-Play series now arouses the sexy holiday spirit as a passionate young couple discovers the boundless rewards of pleasure. All Elizabeth and Gavin Riley want for Christmas is a baby. Despite over a year of trying, conception hasn’t been successful. But for a high-achiever like Elizabeth, she must succeed at everything. That means making the very most of every opportunity with her husband. And when it comes to nonstop sex Gavin’s not really complaining. Exhausted, maybe... Unfortunately, this holiday season they’re not exactly given a lot of private time. Elizabeth is hosting the holiday, Gavin’s sister is getting married, and the house is wall-to-wall with family. For Elizabeth and Gavin the nights may be chilly, but the urge is still hot. And they’re not about to let any distraction get in the way of their necessary pleasures during a holiday game that yields so many unexpected surprises. Includes a preview of Jaci Burton's upcoming novels Melting the Ice and Hope Flames.
