A HUSBAND FOR CHRISTMAS is a duet of Christmas offerings by top romance writer Diana Palmer. Snow Kisses is new but Lionhearted is a reprint from an earlier release. SNOW KISSES finds Abby Shane returning to the ranch she grew up in in Big Sky Country. She's there for her sister's wedding but she is also there to regroup and recoup from an attack that happened in New York. She is also returning to the man who has always held her heart since she was 18. She begins to forget the terror of the attack but she also wants more than what Cade McLaren is willing to offer. Despite his obvious desire he chases her away from the ranch and back to the big city and her work as a model. Can she ever get close to him and explain that she left those years ago because she was hopelessly in love and that had not changed? Or will he always feel that marriage and love are traps that he's not going to fall into. Snow Kisses is a sweet love story that is typical Diana Palmer and one you will not want to put down. No one does happily ever after better than Ms. Palmer. She puts a lot of misunderstanding into play in a way that the reader can understand why the couple thinks what they do but we just might want to shake a little sense into them. Abby and Cade are strong characters, but both with a vulnerable side that they are both afraid to show to each other. This is another great, touching story by a fantastic author. LIONHEARTED is the story of Janie Brewster who has a hopeless crush on Leo Hart and can't figure out how to get his attention. She has tried the cowgirl route with only getting his nasty temper as a reward. Finally, and it's harder than anything she has ever tried, she finds the Hart brother weakness and has to act on it. She will simply have to learn to bake mouthwatering biscuits. Having read this before it was a nice re-read. I love the Hart brothers and Janie was much more independent than the usual Palmer heroine. I liked Janie because when Leo was a jerk to her she didn't immediately forgive and forget, he had to work for it. After reading this book I am ready to pick up some of my older Diana Palmer's and re-read those too. A HUSBAND FOR CHRISTMAS will go on my TRA shelf with all the others by Ms. Palmer. If you are looking for a sweet, Christmas story this is one you will want to pick up.

SUMMARY

Love is right around the snowy bend in two classic Diana Palmer Christmas stories. Two unforgettable heroines might just find passion, redemption and happily-ever-after in their stockings this year…. 

Snow Kisses—When former model Abby Shane returns home to the Big Sky country she's always loved, she is a pale shadow of her former self. After what happened to her in New York, she can't let any man touch her again. But Cade McLaren isn't just any man, and in his powerful arms Abby slowly begins to heal. If only his attentions stemmed from love instead of pity. Instead, Abby hungers for that other all-consuming blaze she'd sparked in him one summer night a lifetime ago…. 

Lionhearted—As Christmas approaches in Jacobsville, Texas, starry-eyed debutante Janie Brewster is determined to prove to rancher Leo Hart that she's perfect for him. However, attempting to dazzle the confirmed bachelor with her newly acquired ranching skills only ends up vexing him even further. But wait…is it hot-blooded hunger—and not dark disdain—gleaming in his eyes during those smoldering kisses beneath the mistletoe?
