REVIEW ~ It's Not Christmas Without You by HelenKay Dimon

Book one in The Holloway Series

 

Carrie Anders officially broke up with Austin Thomas when she accepted a dream job in the city. Unofficially, she misses him and is tempted to sneak back to her West Virginia hometown to see him. That's why this year, she's not going home for the holidays. Her heart can't take any more mornings-after where nothing has changed—and Austin has made it clear he's not interested in relocating.

 

Austin's been waiting for Carrie to realize she can't live without him. But when he hears she's not coming home for Christmas, he decides to take action. If Carrie won't come to the country, he's going to bring a piece of the country to Carrie—in the form of a Christmas tree lot just minutes from her apartment. He's certain daily meetings will entice her to come home with him, this time for good.

 

Their attraction is as hot as ever, but with such contrary Christmas wishes, can either of them get what they really want this year?

Romancing the Holiday Anthology

Romancing the Holiday

Romancing the Holiday is an anthology written by three authors I love; HelenKay Dimon, Christi Barth, and Jaci Burton.  HelenKay’s We’ll Be Home for Christmas is the continuation of her Holloway series. Christi’s Ask Her at Christmas is the tale of two friends realizing their true happy ever after is with each other.  And, The Best Thing is the conclusion of Jaci Burton’s Kent Brothers series.

For the sake of full disclosure, I have to admit a year ago, I never heard of any of these women.  I was looking for a Christmas read and I came across the Holiday Kisses anthology featuring books by HelenKay and Jaci.  It just so happened that HelenKay’s first Holloway series book and Jaci’s second Kent Brothers’ book was a part of that anthology.  I was hooked.  After reading A Rare Gift, I had to have more Kent Brothers, so I found and read All She Wants for Christmas, the first book in the Kent Brothers series.  I even went as far as sending Jaci several emails, asking and begging for a book on Brody.  Not that The Best Thing was written for me or anything. But still, I’m a happy girl.  With that in mind, I’m a little biased when it comes to these books.  But that could also mean that the authors have very high expectations to meet.  I LOVE all three of these books.

Lean On Me by HelenKay Dimon

Cassidy Clarke once climbed the world’s highest mountains, but after an unexpected illness ends her career she’s back in her hometown, broke and hoping for a little luck. But the townsfolk aren’t exactly putting out a welcome mat for the woman who once snubbed them in the media, despite her apologies now.

Mitch Anders knows someone has set up camp on the grounds of his plant nursery, and he’s surprised to find his sexy high school crush ducking questions about where she’s staying. Though he’s sworn to stop cleaning up other peoples messes, Mitch offers Cassidy a job and a place to stay--his place. Bed-sharing optional, but definitely welcome.

Out of options and too attracted to Mitch to keep things platonic, Cassidy says yes to his offer. She wants to get back on her feet financially and start a new career. She never expects to suffer a different kind of fall, one that has her believing Mitch just might bring her something bigger and better than luck.
