This month we
celebrate Christmas. It’s a wonderful time of joy when the world seems to get a
little nicer (hopefully). It’s also a time when many enjoy snuggling up with a
good book in front of a roaring fire (if it’s cold enough, which it rarely is
where I live in Florida.) I thought I would provide a few suggestions for good
reads from some pretty wonderful authors. They are my fellow Sweet Romance
Authors.
I'm going to be sneaky and start with my own book, a Shellwater Key holiday tale...
$0.99
Annaliese Matheson once
had the perfect life, with a successful career on Broadway and a loving husband
who was her greatest champion. Then her husband died. Devastated, she left the
stage behind and only returned when her best friend, Grayson Kendall, asked her
to perform at The Paradise Dinner Theatre in tiny Shellwater Key, Florida.
Annaliese is convinced
she’ll never love again, but when she steps in to direct to Middle School
Christmas Show, nothing will ever be the same. A man unlike any she’s known
awakens her buried heart, giving her a second chance at forever with the last
person she would have expected. It will take a miracle for Annaliese to let
someone else in and embrace happiness again...but then it is Christmas.
