Haiku Reviews...

 

The Ex-Mas Holidays by Zoe Allison


Two broken hearts. Past
hurts. New friendship. Can they ski
their way into love?


Christmas romance .... 373 pages .... 4/5 stars
(Cute second chance romance set in Scotland.)




All Shall Be Well (Kincaid and James #2) by Deborah Crombie


When his neighbor dies,
Kincaid thinks it might be murder.
Now he must prove it.


Mystery .... 268 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(I'm really liking this series.)





Snowed In for Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe


Grumpy football coach
keeps sunny sorority mom warm
through a Christmas storm.


Christmas romance .... 323 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(A blizzard, a power outtage, some humorous mishaps, funny banter, and a few steamy sex scenes make this a fun read.)


Happy Reading!

  4. It's such a great time of year. I would be okay reading Christmas books, drinking hot chocolate and keeping the tree up all year round just to keep things hopeful.
