CHRISTMAS ARC REVIEW Home for the Holidays by Terry Spear

Silver Town Wolf #9, I love this series and I love the MacTire sisters this one was good, not my favorite but not horrible either. It had plenty of intrigue, a little bit of angst, just enough Holiday spirit and lots of romance. Meghan can see and communicate with ghosts the resident ghost at the inn has become extra emotional this holiday season. She misses her beau and asks Meghan if she can look into finding him, as both were shifter there is a good chance he might still be alive. Meghan and the sheriff, Peter, have been dating for about a year and with a mating inevitably in their future they both decide to come clean about secrets they have been keeping. Unfortunately Meghan's past comes out before she gets the chance to tell Peter when her ex-boyfriend shows up out of the blue with news. Peter takes it in stride because his secret is just as big. When Meghan's secret somehow connects to the inn's ghost, the town's biggest tragedy and Peter's past everything seems almost to much to handle especially since Peter puts Meghan and her sisters under 24/7 protection.

Overall it was a good read. There was a bit more sex in it than I typically like these days, but that's me. The holiday aspect of the book was nice with the full victorian costume caroling, the gingerbread house competition, and the snow sculpture competition and the pack Christmas party and gift exchange. I like Terry Spear's writing the intrigue is nicely done with how everything ties together and a very good ending. 

ARC REVIEW SEAL Wolf Surrender by Terry Spear

SEAL Wolf #6, The nice thing about this series and the whole Heart of the Wolf Universe that Terry Spear's writes is that each book is a stand alone. One thing I love is that the couple always makes sure they want to mate, like they can't live without each other before they have sex because sex equates a mating in the shifter world. The chemistry, the pheromones are telling them this wolf is a good match for you but in the case of Brock and Natalie the distance of where they live and the possibility that relocating isn't possible for either of them keeps them from fully committing to each other. I loved the plot of this one, it was exciting and kept you on your toes.

Natalie was excited to to to her best friend/ sister of her heart's wedding, Angie having fell in love with a pack member of the Greystoke pack meant Natalie would have to go to Colorado for the wedding and not having any extra time she had to fly. A belligerent drunk, who was also a wolf, caused the flight to be delayed. Unfortunately at baggage claim Natalie accidentally grabbed his bag by mistake. In doing so Natalie inadvertently uncovered a ring of wolf counterfeiters.

There was instant chemistry between Brock and Natalie and the threat that the counterfeiters might be after him has his protective wolf side come out. Not wanting her alone on this he volunteers his services as a PI to track down the bad guys and protect Natalie even if that means driving down to Amarillo, TX to do so. Along the way they discover how well they work together both in her family business of the garden center and his PI work. Despite both of them saying they weren't looking for a mate Natalie and Brock make a great team in more ways than one.

Overall, it was an entertaining read, I always enjoy reading Terry Spear's Heart of the Wolf series and the spin-offs series.         

ARC REVIEW You Had Me at Jaguar by Terry Spear

Heart of the Shifter #1, first book of the USF spin-off. For fans of the Heart of the Wolf series( and the other spin-offs) we do see some familiar faces but this book centers around Valerie Chambers and Howard Armstrong. I didn't get into this one as much as the previous books, it just didn't catch my attention the same way. Jaguar shifters don't mate for life, they also can sleep with each other before deciding to mate, unlike wolf shifters. I liked the set up for the series and the characters well enough even though I really didn't feel the chemistry between Val and Howard and the story didn't grab me.

Val and Howard met in training for the Enforcers where they make a practice of putting the men against the woman so the women can find ways of subduing larger prey. Val so far has been the only who could pin Howard down. Couple years later Howard started working for the newly formed United Shifter Force, a co-op where shifters of all kind work with each other. Val is still an Enforcer, the Jaguars shifters execution squad for those who have killed humans and/or shifter. Val has been working just fine on her own but for some reason her parents, who are also both Enforcers, thought she would need back up on this next mission. They asked the USF to provide some for her; Howard and one of his wolf shifter partners Jillian get called in for the job. The job was suppose to be an easy one in Val's opinion the guy turned his wife and murdered her when he couldn't handle her and with irrefutable proof he did it all Val had to do was track him down and then put him down. Val didn't want the back up but when her guy makes a trip to Belize with his new girlfriend he's thankful for all the help she can get because once they get down there things get way more complicated especially when they discover the case Val's parents are on and hers are connected.

Overall, I enjoyed the characters more than the story. Terry Spear, much like Lynsay Sands, tends to be formulaic in her writing but it's still entertaining to read, the quirky characters make each book memorable. The story felt neverending, up into the last 90% of the book they were still trying to finish the mission and then the climax felt rushed. I am curious about what side characters in this book will continue on to the next book, I kinda want to see Rowdy get his HEA.   

ARC REVIEW A Billionaire Wolf for Christmas by Terry Spear

Heart of the Wolf #26, The wolf shifters have noticed a decline in their life span Dr. Aidan Denali is determined to figure out how to fix it. The Seattle Pack just may have the answers if they ever allowed other shifters in their territory. Aidan is going to find out if the isolated pack is immune to the change in life span or if they are infected too. When he learns the former Alpha is a lone wolf, banished from the pack Aidan thinks he may have his way in and at the same time offer the wolf a permanent home in one of the other packs. Along the way he meets up with the Seattle packs only medical doctor, Dr. Holly Gray. Holly and her family are more than willing to help Aidan. The attraction between Aidan and Holly is strong enough for her to defy her own alpha to help Aidan. When the Alpha of the Seattle Pack starts to get more and more demanding and dictatorial Holly and her family think it's best and safest for them to leave the pack. Aidan and his brother welcome them into their pack with open arms especially since it seems more and more likely that Aidan and Holly are going to be mated soon.

The story was okay, it was a lot of talking between Aidan and Holly about the cure and what could cure the decline in lifespan and messing with the Seattle pack's Alpha and his major malfunction but mostly Aidan and Holly falling in love which of course with Terry Spear books the romance is always good, always enjoy her romance. The building of the relationship and the bonding between the families was good. Overall, it was a nice read.      

ARC REVIEW All's Fair in Love and Wolf by Terry Spear

Heart of the Wolf #25, Silver Town Wolf #8, Followers of the series Sarandon finally gets his book, newbies don't worry it can be read as a standalone. Terry Spear has created a giant PNR universe with her Heart of the Wolf series with several spinoffs, or subseries (a series within a series) whatever you call it Silver Town is probably my favorite. Silver Town, Colorado is a shifter town owned and run completely by shifters, the Silver Pack with several other packs on the outskirts. 

Jenna St. James, fugitive recovery agent, didn't know what she was walking into when she took what was suppose to be an easy recovery of an identity thief but her easy job got screwed when she realized Sarandon was a wolf shifter. Not just a wolf shifter but a shifter with a whole pack to back him up. Jenna never being part of a pack before never realized the extent they would go to protect one of their own. Even with the whole pack behind him Jenna is still hesitant to believe and if he is telling the truth that means the real culprit is still out there and her mom is going to be out way too much money. When they have finally proven without a doubt that Sarandon is not the man she's looking for the Silver pack goes all out to help her find the real criminal and the fact that he looks enough like Sarandon to be confused with him doesn't go unnoticed. 

Sarandon has more than one reason to work with Jenna to find the real criminal, the attraction was there from the beginning even when she was holding the rifle on him and it was mutual. Jenna was relieved when Sarandon was proven innocent because that meant she could stop feeling guilty for being attracted to a bounty. The attraction and the romance was the easy part the hard part is figuring out how they are going to fit into each other's lives with Jenna working out of Colorado Springs and Sarandon's tour company in Silver Town. I say it with every review I do for this series but I really do love that they don't have sex until they are positive they want each other for mates; they can do everything but that and it really does feed the sexual chemistry between the two and it shows their devotion to each other. These two really have some great chemistry. 

Overall, this was such a great read. I loved the whole mistaken identity/identity theft thing and where that whole story went, it went so much deeper than you expect it to and that was nice. Jenna is one of three sisters so I'm hoping to see them in upcoming books (fingers crossed).         

 

ARC REVIEW Flight of the White Wolf by Terry Spears

White Wolf #3 Heart of the Wolf #24, Don't let the 24 fool you each of the different spin offs of the original series can be read separate from each other, in fact this can be read perfectly fine as a stand alone as well. The new turned white wolf shifters and private investigators Gavin, Owen, Cameron and David came to Northern Minnesota so their wolves wouldn't stick out. The Prologue to this book takes place before Gavin turned, he's on the hunt for stolen puppies. He tracks them to Alaska where he meets Amelia. But that's not the first time they have met, Amelia realizes right away that they have met before in Seattle when he was still a cop and her boyfriend robbed a jewelry store and hijacked her plane she crashed the plane on purpose and managed to get way only after having to kill her boyfriend before he could kill Gavin who was injured in the crash. Gavin doesn't remember Amelia, he knows her face but he can't place her, he soon forgets and goes about his job of finding the missing puppies. 

Seven years later, Gavin's newest job takes him out into the wilderness, not that he minds he loves being outdoors and camping. His newest client wants proof her husband is cheating and he's going on a Team Building kayaking trip not to far from where he is, the only thing is to catch up to the husband he needs to fly out to the same drop location. Ever since Gavin was in the plane crash in Seattle he's been afraid to fly. By pure happenstance his pilot is Amelia. Amelia and her family moved from Alaska to escape the, what seems like forever, winters. Amelia is delighted that Gavin is now a wolf and a white wolf too. But disaster strikes when they experience electrical failure and the plane crashes, only thanks to Amelia's quick thinking do they survive the crash and thanks to Gavin who manages to salvage most of his equipment from the plane before it completely sank; his canoe survived too. To top it all off Amelia had her foster dog, Winston, with her on the plane. Due to the heavy rains they are stranded where they are until it stops. In that time Gavin and Amelia talk about why the plane went down and the fact that only foul play could have caused every system to go down even the back-up system. 

Between talking about all conspiracy plausibility of who and why of the plane sabotage Amelia and Gavin get to know each other. Amelia finally reveals how Gavin recognizes her and after a brief bit of anger they both forgive each other. Most of the time spent is them getting to know each other and bonding Gavin is pretty certain he's found his mate but  hey agree to take it slow and get to know each other more and meet each other families. But the tangled web of the whodunnit to the plane and the not quite so simple cheating husband case and the reappearance the certain dognappers from seven years prior make this a tangle web of lies and deception only Gavin and Amelia can untangle.

Overall this was another great instalment into the Heart of the Wolf series. The romance was pretty easy between Amelia and Gavin the book concentrated more on them building their romance and the many plausible and implausible theories that they are faced with in this book. I can't wait to see what Terry Spear's has in store for David and now Amelia's brother Slade.       

ARC REVIEW Heart of the Wolf by Terry Spear

Heart of the Wolf is the first book of the series of the same name. It was published ten years ago and to celebrate the awesomeness of the series the publishers re-released this one. When I found I could review this book I jumped at the chance to read it, having read and enjoyed the more current  subsequent spin-off series, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I loved everything about his book except for two things Bella's lack of belief that Devlyn can defeat Volan and Devlyn, I just didn't like him. One thing that shocked me because it not this way in her more current books but there was so much sex. I want to complain about it because it was borderline gratuitous but it was so damn hot at the same time. And I think all the sex threw off the pace of the book not a complaint just an observation.  

  Bella Wilder, a red wolf shifter, was rescued by Devlyn when she was a small pup when a house fire killed her family (in the 1800). Bella has always loved Devlyn but the alpha of the pack has been obsessed with her and wanted her for a mate, Bella was determined never to let that happen to the point she ran away from her adoptive family to live as a lone wolf. One hundred and fifty years later Bella is living a quiet life when she is out on a run one day she is shocked to discover the scent of another red wolf in the area. She is so distracted she gets caught by humans in her wolf form and sent to the zoo. Making headline news gives her the attention she has been trying to hide from. Volan certainly knows where she is by now and as Volan's loyal lap dog Devlyn is sure to show up soon enough to take her back to the pack. But now there is also the local red wolf pack whose leader, also called dibs on Bella, out there ready to force her into the mating. By the time Devlyn shows up Bella is ready to run for it again, but Devlyn has had enough and is ready to claim her right then and there and face Volan. Top it all off with the fact that one of the red wolf pack members is going around killing natural redheads and Bella won't leave until they figure out who it is and stop them.  

Overall, it was a good story, I think it could have been better but I enjoyed it. What I really liked was the bonus novella Night Wolf at the back, that was a great story!  

ARC REVIEW Dreaming of a White Wolf Christmas by Terry Spear

A little bit of Christmas Romance for your ever growing TBR list...

I'm dreaming of a white wolf Christmas
Just like the one Terry Spear wrote
Where the werewolves glisten and children howlin'
To see the full moon in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white wolf Christmas
With every word that she writes
May your nights be steamy and hot
And may all your Werewolves be white.

Okay enough of me butchering Irving Berlin's masterpiece. Terry Spear's newest Heart of the Wolf novel is the start to a new spinoff. It is also a good starting point for some, while there is a little bit of backstory it's only there so you get to know the characters, this book can be read as a standalone. For those new to Terry Spears this is a great book and a wonderful series. All the guys are strong loyal and devoted. The women are smart and strong, everybody has a bit of baggage they work to deal with and one of my favorite things they don't have sex until they are sure they want each other as mates, they can do other things so there is lots of fun sexual chemistry and tension going on before they make that choice. 

Candice Mayfair  use to go by a different name until one camping trip and a little nip on the finger by a werewolf pup turned her life upside down. Now Candice is a full time romance writer, writing about shifters. Owen Nottingham and his partners are private investigators who have all been bitten. They uprooted their lives and moved to a place where seeing an arctic wolf wouldn't be conspicuous and became a pack. Ever since moving out of Seattle the business has been internet based until now they finally have an office again and their first big gig is to track down an heiress. Owen tracks her down via an ex-coworker who told him she changed her name to her pen name and moved away. 

It's been two years since she first shifted, that first night she thought she dreamed seeing another white wolf. But when the P.I. looking for her shows up at her door she realizes that wolf wasn't a dream he's standing right in front of her. The pup that bit her is part of his pack and he wants her to join the pack and hopefully mate with him, he has been dreaming about her since that night they saw each other. Owen also wants to help her get her inheritance, she didn't even realize her parents left her anything considering she thought they disowned her. But when another P.I. claims he found the real Clara Hart and Owen and Candice need to rush down to Texas to prove otherwise despite the full moon and Candice isn't in full control over her shift yet. With a call to Dallas they get help from the panther shifter friends there. Once there Candice gets a big surprise about her uncle. 

Overall, this was another great shifter romance from Terry Spear.  

AREC REVIEW SEAL Wolf Undercover by Terry Spear

Book 22!! Don't let that intimidate you, so far the ones I have read can be read as standalone, this is my fourth book of the Heart of a Wolf series and each one is a great story with no overlapping story arc. This is also book five in the SEAL Wolf series. This one starts and it just kind of throws you into it after the prologue, which introduces you into some of the main characters. The pace of the story is good with some slow parts in between action packed ones, and a nice romance. I wish I had started reading Terry Spear sooner.

 Vaughn Greystroke is a former NAVY SEAL turned PI, as a private investigator he has become accustomed to working alone. Jillian Matthews is former Army Intelligence turned PI, but she has recently been asked to assist a group of Jaguar shifters and their group United Shifter Force. Jillian has a personal stake in the matter it was her brother who was shot at, she was suppose to meet up with him when he was a no show she went to another wolf shifter's house to see if he was there what she found was the shifter with his throat almost ripped out. Vaughn was on his way to talk to the alpha of the area about a possible team up when he decided to swing by and visit his pack mate and friend what he found was a wolf with a bloody muzzle, he took off after the wolf  only to be shot at by someone else. When Vaughn makes it back to his cabin he finds three jaguar shifters and one wolf shifter, the wolf shifter Jillian admits that she is the one who shot him because he was chasing her brother. Then Vaughn promptly passes out and has to be taken to the shifter clinic.

Vaughn agrees to team up with Jillian and the USF team to find out what happened to his friend. All the while looking up leads and trying to track down Jillian's brother Vaughn and Jillian grow closer the chemistry between them is palpable, I mean it gets pretty amusing their banter and kind of shy feelings toward each other. Vaughn embarrassingly buys Jillian a coloring book and color pencils when she gets injured to keep her occupied while recovering. They are very sweet and I really do love, in this series, that they don't have sex until they are ready to mate and that it is part of the bonding process.

Overall, this was another great one by Terry Spears.      

ARC REVIEW Between a Wolf and a Hard Place by Terry Spear

YAY more of the McTire sisters! Book #21 of the Heart of the Wolf series and book #7 of the Silver Town Wolf series. Terry Spear's writes a great ghost story. I am really enjoying this series, one thing I really like is the fact the characters don't have sex until they are ready to cement their relationship and call each other mates.

Ellie out of all her sisters has the stronger connection to ghosts, she can occasionally see them and communicate with them rather then just get a feeling. Ellie and Brett have been seeing each other and care for each other to the point Brett is thinking about mating but Ellie hasn't told Brett her secret yet and with how her last boyfriend acted she is scared to tell him. Brett donated his family's piano to Ellie and her sisters for their B&B but the piano stool and music isn't the only thing that comes with the piano, Brett's Grandmother's ghost tags along too. It's been over a year since the sisters moved to Silver Town and almost that long since Brett and Ellie have been dating and with the appearance of the new ghost Ellie knows it's time to tell Brett the truth.

Uncovering the reason Brett's Grandmother hasn't passed on to the other side may be more trouble than expected especially since she is being stubborn and not wanting to communicate and making the other house ghost crazy. Brett doesn't initially believe the extent of Ellie's abilities he humours her for the most part until he witness' it himself. Something Ellie said about Brett's grandmother rings suspicious with him, he starts to look into her death and he finds out things he never knew. The McTire sisters and their cousins are still on rocky ground and Brett doesn't help matters by asking them a questions about exorcising a ghost which doesn't help his relationship with Ellie.

Overall, like always this is a well written and very exciting story. The characters are all very likable and very easy to empathize with. My only problem is how Brett acted after he found out about Ellie's ability he started to act like the sister didn't have any idea what they were doing (like they haven't been doing this their whole life *insert sarcasm here*) and while the sisters thought it was cute and it showed that he was at least trying to learn more it would have just been a whole lot easier and less condescending to just ask her. Otherwise it was a very entertaining story and I look forward to more.  

ARC REVIEW Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply by Terry Spear

In this Shifter universe Terry Spear has created this is book 19. For this particular series it is book 6. I have only read one other book in the series but I can tell you that it's alright. So far each book isn't really connected plot/subplot/story arc in any way except that the characters all live in the same area, some are related, most are all in the same pack and are all shifters. I have to say what I love most about this series is that the H/h don't really have sex until they are 100% committed to being mates. So most of the book is them getting to know one another and falling in love even though the wolf half of them has already decided that they are mates. There is one true mate that is a once in a life time thing but they can mate with anyone. Both Pepper and Eric have had mates in the past and neither of them really wanted to mate again, but Eric's wolf recognizes Pepper as his one true mate at first sight. Pepper needs a bit more convincing.

Eric is an alpha, strong enough to lead his own pack but content where he is and let his cousin rule this one, even if he likes to give him a hard time about it. Pepper is the alpha of her pack both her parents dead and only she was alpha enough to lead everyone. Pepper's mate was a beta, he was killed by a rogue alpha trying to take over Pepper's pack, Pepper killed him. Now she is hesitant to accept another mate because she fears that he will just try to take over. Eric knows she is capable of handling her own pack and lets her, his goal is to prove to her that he is the best bet for a co-leader.

They have bit of a problem though, Eric isn't the only one who wants Pepper. Waldron is the leader of a nomadic pack trying to find a place to settle, only they aren't so nice and Waldron is trying to force Pepper into matting with him. Waldron has an alternative motive Pepper's pack is on prime land perfect for growing marijuana. Waldron acts are impulsive, stupid, cruel and selfish. But can Eric and Pepper manage to beat him at his own game and find their HEA.

Overall, this was a great read. I loved the characters and the story of the book.

WHO'S YOUR HOLIDAY HERO: ARC REVIEWS

A Silver Wolf Christmas is book 17 in the Heart of  the Wolf Universe written by Terry Spear. Amazingly this is the first book of hers I have ever read and now I'm sad that I have been missing this series. I feel like I have been missing out on it and really want to read the series in it's entirety, but this book is just fine to be read as a stand alone, I'm just one of those that hates reading the series out of order.

C.J. Silver is such a sweet guy, he was already head over heals for Laurel he just has to wait until she is read for his courtship. Laurel MacTire and her sisters are there for a reason, they love buying and restoring old buildings but that's not the only reason. But for the first time the MacTire sisters are in a pack they are slowly learning the dynamics of living in a pack and two out of three of them are ready to settle down. Laurel, however, is scared that after they learn the real reason they is there the pack will turn on them.

But when things start to happen right before the grand opening for the Inn the alpha of the pack assigned C.J. to help protect the sisters and their Inn. The ghost stories and the appearance of "ghost hunters" just complicates everything. The more time C.J. and Laurel spend together the harder it is for Laurel to keep from liking him. Now the pack is making bets to see when the mating will happen.

Overall, this was a good read. It was exciting and sweet. It is a very good ghost story mystery.

 A Cowboy Firefighter for Christmas by Kim Redford is the quintessential Christmas story that I would expect to see as a Hallmark movie. Trey Duval is perfect, I'm not kidding, he practically has no flaws! He runs his family's ranch and he's a volunteer firefighter, everyone likes him and he gets along with everybody. He's not dark and brooding, he has a great family no deep dark past, he is a happy guy. It's almost annoying. (lol) Misty Reynolds, however, isn't. Misty had a tough childhood, lost both her parents at Christmas and was raised by an aunt and she hates Christmas. Misty is a troubleshooter she is great at figuring out puzzles and unraveling a mystery. Her latest job is to investigate the rash of fires happening in the little town north of DFW, Wildcat Bluff, that is well known for it's Christmas Tree farms.

Misty is visiting the quaint town under the guise of being on a well needed vacation but on her way in she is immediately pulled into the the problem front and center. Trey flags down Misty's car to help him put out a brush fire that if it gets out of hand can take out the entire town. Trey immediately dubs her the Christmas Angel and falls head over heals for her. Wildcat Bluff is Christmas crazy, and it takes Misty by surprise and she has to fight off a panic attack just by being their. But Trey has a soothing quality about him and soon Misty is finding herself at home in Wildcat Bluff and with Trey.

Overall, aside from Trey being annoyingly perfect, it had a (to me) a predictable mystery. But I loved the small town dynamics and the characters are a hoot.

It's a Twofer! Samantha Chase brings together her two Christmas Cottage books The Christmas Cottage and Ever After. I loved both of these. I must find more Samantha Chase. The writing style and the storyline and characters are all great.

 The Callahan family has had the Christmas Cottage in it's family for generations, and it is said that if you have your wedding night there on Christmas Eve you are destined to have a happy and healthy marriage. Ava grew up with these stories and now that she is engaged she is determined to have her wedding night there and it must be perfect. Ava charges her best friend and maid of honor, Lacey, and the best man with the job of making sure the place is perfect. Ava's fiancee suddenly had a falling out with his best man and the replacement is Ava's older brother Ean. Lacey has been in love with Ean since she was a kid but on the night of her graduation she kisses Ean and messed everything up. 

Ean Callahan had a lot to prove to himself he was the nerdy guy not the popular guy. He reacted badly when Lacey kissed him and as a result avoided her at all costs, unfortunately, Lacey is very close to his family and he ended up avoiding them also. Now years later he's all grown up and very successful he is need of a vacation. He goes up to the family cabin for some R&R before the holidays and his sister's wedding. To his surprise Lacey is up at the Christmas Cottage and a sudden blizzard traps Lacey and Ean in the Christmas Cottage over the weekend. Trapped together they finally reveal everything they left in the past and became romantically involved. 

But when they get back to real life emotions are complicated and with the promise to keep everything quiet because Ava is extremely superstitious about the cottage. 

  

Ever After takes place almost a year later, Lacey and Ean are happily married and Ava is alone. She is carrying on with her life ready like normal until one day Brian McCabe shows up in her life. Brian is the best friend of Ava's former fiancee, Mason, and the whole reason for the falling out is that he fell in love with Ava. Ava is hesitant especially since he is best friends with Mason. But with Ava and Mason talk and they have a double date, Mason with his new fiance and Ava with Brian. Brian courts Ava so sweetly, I almost think he is too good for for her. Ava still has one major character flaw and that she is obsessed with the damn cottage, not even the events of the last book change her mind. She gets so bad with her obsession in this story that she ruins probably the best thing that has ever happened to her, Brian. 

Overall, The Christmas Cottage if you can get past Ava the bridezilla, it's a nice Christmas romance for Lacey and Ean. Ever After if you can get past Ava acting like a spoiled brat with her head stuck in the clouds is a really sweet romance.

Legend has it that any couple who spends the night in the Christmas Cottage shall have love everlasting...

THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE

Lacey Quinn does not believe in happily-ever-after or the legend of the Christmas Cottage. But her best friend does, and she’s the one getting married. It’s Lacey’s job to make sure everything at the cottage is perfect for the newlyweds. Instead, she finds herself snowed in with the best man, and she begins to wonder if fairy tales really can come true.

EVER AFTER

Ava Callahan wants desperately to believe in love everlasting. But when Brian McCabe walks back into her life and upsets her carefully organized world, her commitment to perfection makes it hard to accept the love that’s right in front of her. Will it take a night in the Christmas Cottage for Ava and Brian to find their happy ending?

New York Times and USA Today bestseller Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her forties to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Teaching creative writing to students from elementary through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams motivated Samantha to take that step as well. Stay With Me (Montgomery Brothers book 3) hit the USA Today bestseller list upon its debut. Catering to the CEO was included in the romance bundle Loving the CEO, a five-book package that made the New York Times and the USA Today bestseller lists. In March 2013, The Christmas Cottage was nominated for two Indie Romance Convention Awards—Best Indie Romance Novella and Best Indie Contemporary Romance—while Samantha was nominated for Indie Author of the Year. When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, blogging, playing Scrabble on Facebook, and spending time with her husband of twenty-four years and their two sons in North Carolina.
