OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS is a wonderful anthology of four
stories by four of
today's hottest authors. It will put you in the Christmas
spirit no matter what
time of year you read it.
A Ranger For Christmas by Mary Burton introduces you to
Professor
Marisa Thompson. Texas Ranger Lucas Cooper has tracked
her down at
the college and needs her help. He is working on a drug
case and needs
her to try and figure out the code the drug dealers are
using for
communications. While trying to decipher the code someone
tries to break
into her home and runs her off the road. This is an
awesome story filled
with lots of action and mystery. You won't be able to
read it fast enough!
A Southern Christmas by Mary Carter is the story of Nate
and Dani. Two
years ago, Nate asked Dani to marry him, in front of the
whole town, after
creating the perfect moment and Dani said no. She wasn't
ready. She
wanted to go to New York and become a famous writer. Fast
forward to the
present, and Dani is on her way back to Wilmington NC to
do a story for the
magazine she works for. She is going home to win her ex
back even
though he is engaged to someone else. This is what the
article is going to
be about. She is on her way with her photographer Sawyer
and here is
where the fun begins! I've never read Mary Carter before
but after reading
A Southern Christmas I can't wait to read more of her.
Christmas In Montana by Cathy Lamb is Laurel's story. She
is a band
manager in Los Angeles, hates her job, quits, and comes
back home to
Montana. There she finds out that her mom and her Aunt
have sold her
family home to Josh. Who is Josh you ask? Her ex who is a
hunk and still
has the same effect on her. How is she going to convince
him to the sell
the house back to her? He comes up with a plan. She must
go out on ten
dates with him and then he will sell her the house back! I
think she would
rather have root canal but she agrees. Oh the fun! I was
laughing out loud
and snorting!
Under The Mistletoe by Lisa Jackson is the story of a
woman, Meg who
thinks her marriage is over and nothing can be done to
fix it until tragedy
strikes. This makes her nostagic for better days and she
thinks back to the
first Christmas they had together. It's a very sweet
story! Meg has a secret
and it's a big one as you will soon learn. Can she save
her marriage? Will
she ever be able to convince her husband Chris, just how
much she truly
loves him? I've always loved anything by Lisa Jackson and
Under The
Mistletoe surely didn't disappoint. My heart broke for
Meg and I was
praying with every page turned that the other shoe wasn't
going to fall. You
will know exactly what I'm talking about when you read her
story.
I devoured these stories in two sittings and they each
left me wanting to
read more. All four stories held my interest from the
very first page and I
was instantly caught up in all of the characters lives and
business. I was
laughing out loud at the hilarious situations each of
these stories had.
