BEGINNING OF FOREVER By Terri Rochenski
Blurb: When Wayne Edwards moves to town, Lillian Douglas
experiences stirrings she thought were long dead. Guilt ridden over betraying
her deceased husband and the feelings Wayne inspires, Lillian reluctantly lets
him in. Secrets of the past – an old promise emerges, but will it threaten
their forever?
MELT
By Shaya Roy
Blurb: Newlyweds in an arranged marriage,
Naina and Dev go to the mountains of Shimla, India in search of snow.
Unfortunately, they find fifteen inches more than they expected.
Being snowed in with her husband is not
necessarily a bad thing. It gives Naina an excellent excuse to snuggle up to
her deep, quiet man, but every time Dev spurns her, a little more of her heart
drips away. Melting the ice around her husband’s heart before the snow outside
does might take more pride than Naina’s ready to surrender.
ONE IN A MILLION SNOWFLAKES By Michelle
Ziegler
Blurb: Angela is
in love with someone she can never have--her best friend, Rebecca’s older
brother.
Stranded in the
bitter cold after a disastrous blind date with yet another company Christmas
party looming, a standing offer from the boss’ nephew gets a little more
appealing. Desperation. Not a good sign. Surely when Rebecca rescues her from
the blinding snow, she can also convince Angela to just go to the party alone.
She can always count on her best friend.
That is, as long
as she never finds out about Angela’s secret crush.
AN UNEXPECTED
WREATH By Annabelle
Blume
Blurb: Stella’s got everything she needs in life:
a great job, a beautiful house, and her independence. But on last minute trip
to the local Christmas tree lot she finds something, or rather someone, she
desperately wants - Grayson. An emergency trip to Target, an unexpected wreath,
and a little Christmas magic make the season much brighter.
SANTA BEBE By Lily
Carlyle
Blurb: Disillusioned by men and her belief that
they see her only as an object, Bebe is determined to find a man with money.
Her geeky, but unfailingly kind, next-door neighbor James tries to convince her
of the possibility of real love, even as she reveals to him the troubled
childhood that made her so cynical about relationships. When her mother dashes
her hopes for a perfect Christmas, Bebe finds herself turning to James once
again, and in the process, learning a lot about herself and the promise their
relationship holds.

An Unexpected Wreath
By Annabelle Blume
Blurb:
Stella’s got everything she needs
in life: a great job, a beautiful house, and her independence. But on last
minute trip to the local Christmas tree lot she finds something, or rather
someone, she desperately wants - Grayson. An emergency trip to Target, an
unexpected wreath, and a little Christmas magic make the season much brighter.
Excerpt:
"It's great you paid attention to
your Stranger Danger lessons, but I'm not a serial killer."
"How do I know that?"
"Because I'm telling you I'm
not."
His lackadaisical drawl infuriated
her."Oh, and I suppose Ted Bundy passed out business cards listing his
profession as a psychopath?"
"Here.” He handed over his business
card. “See, not a psychopath or a killer. Just a guy who owns a Christmas tree
lot. Let's get this to your place before it grows roots, and I have to chop it
down to sell again next year."
The clean, white rectangle in her hand
listed one Grayson Harris, owner and CEO of Harris Enterprises, LTD, as well as
all pertinent contact information. She tucked it into her purse and resumed her
uptight attitude, for good measure.
"Fine, now if they find me buried
under the begonias in the spring, they'll know who did it. I'm just off Clemson
Road. I drive fast. Keep up."
About Annabelle Blume
Annabelle is a best selling Romance and New Adult author,
that is, when she's not checking homework or begrudgingly cooking dinner. Wife,
mother, and creator of alternate worlds, Annabelle has a penchant for that
which is outside the norm.
Her degree in Sociology has given her the ability to
construct worlds that exist only in her head and translate them passionately to
the page. The time spent studying individuals, interpersonal relationships, and
particularly, women, within the constraints of our society led to Annabelle's
unabashed ability to talk about sex as it fits into our modern lives.
She's also the author/personality of The Bombshell Mommy at
Vitacost.com where she helps modern Bombshells and their families live “green”.

DeleteThis is a good time of year for sweet romances. Thanks for letting us know about them. Wish there was more time for reading. :)
ReplyDeleteI second that! Fitting in reading can be a challenge. I suppose that's the perk of anthologies- each story is short.
DeleteGood luck surviving this busy time of year :-)
You're welcome, Beverly!
DeleteFaith, Catherine & Lexa - Thanks so much for taking the time to read our blurbs! Hope you're able to nab a copy & enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteTerri, you're a rockstar.
DeleteThey all sound really good! And I'm intrigued by Melt, I've never read a romance centered around an arranged marriage. Well, except Regency romances, where those are a dime a dozen! =)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does sound good and unique.
DeleteThis collection sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing a little of every story.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it.
