CHASING CHRISTMAS EVE
Jill Shalvis

Reviewed by Kristen Donnelly

I completely understand Colbie's instinct to run away to avoid writer's block. I did it myself a few times when completing my PhD and it was always great to clear your brain. My writer's retreats never came with a side of true love, however, so Colbie wins on this one.

I adore Jill Shalvis's books - and to pretend otherwise would be silly. It took me a little bit to get into the Heartbreaker Bay series, but now I'm completely invested in this sprawling tribe of folks and their happily ever afters.

Not only is CHASING CHRISTMAS EVE a great addition to the series, but it is an absolutely delightful Christmas tale. Go read and enjoy.

SUMMARY

(A standalone Heartbreaker Bay novel) Meet cute... Run for the hillsβ€”temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long. Make merry... Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerfulβ€”okay, crazy hotβ€”chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she β€œgets” Spence immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it? …and hope for a miracle. Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.
