From Jennifer Loring: NO ONE ON EARTH ~ Erukkass has located his deceased lover in another dimension and refuses to leave without him. Jon, grieving a devastating loss, turns to the native legend of Handsome Fellow for comfort. When he and Erukkass meet, can they forge a future together, or will two timelines that have always intersected, no matter when or where, finally be forced to diverge?   

From Merryn Dexter: CONJUNCTION ~ The mystical Conjunction of the moons of Elexon sets two men on a collision course. A pirate and a prince — nothing in common but the attraction burning between them. What starts as a fling soon grows serious, but a relationship built on a foundation of secrets and constructed from lies is no relationship at all.

From B. Leslie Tirrell: ARIZONA IMPULSE ~ Ambassador Kallell Tezak, the youngest member of the Galaxy Alliance, overhears two of his fellow ambassadors conspiring to take control of the device that protects the galaxy from famine. Kallell knows it is his duty to stop them, but he also wants to enjoy his favorite holiday, Genzebe. Kallell might even summon the bravery to confess his love for the shy and serious Esten Lazzaro—his second in command.

From Kerry Adrienne and Lia Davis: FIRST CONTACT ~ Fugitive Tristan Hawthorne escapes imprisonment only to crash-land on an unidentified, uncharted planet where he faces an alien who stirs passions he thought were long buried. With one working ship and a failing planetary cloaking device, it’s a short time till humans discover Oria and Tristan is recaptured. Under the starry, moonlit sky of the holiday Jainfest, the men learn to overcome their feelings of fear and distrust, and wind up finding out they aren’t so different after all.

CAROLYN BROWN’S PUMPKIN BREAD

Kids, grand children, great-grands, all coming home for the holidays—the aroma of pumpkin bread baking in the oven—everyone waiting for it to get done so they can slice it up while it’s still hot, slather butter or whipped cream cheese on it, and tell the age old stories about the holidays we’ve had in the house. That’s the stuff memories are made off and every time I smell pumpkin bread it puts a smile on my face for the whole day.

Review-- WHITE CHRISTMAS FOR THE SINGLE MOM by Susanne Hampton

Title: White Christmas for the Single Mom
Series: Christmas Miracles in Maternity #3
Author: Susanne Hampton
Genre: Holiday Romance/Medical

Rating: * * * * !/2

Publishers: Harlequin (Nov 22, 2016)

Paperback: 256  pages

ISBN: 978-1488010026

Temptation under the mistletoe 

Specialist Juliet Turner flies halfway across the world to England with her young daughter, Bea, to perform lifesaving in utero surgery. But her first white Christmas is complicated by the feelings awakened by ob-gyn Dr. Charlie Warren! 

Juliet has protected her heart for years, but she soon finds there's so much more to this closed-off widower than meets the eye. Perhaps it's time for them both to let go of the past, surrender to their burning chemistry and make this a Christmas to remember!

Throw together a cute four year old, holidays, and a sad widower and you've hooked me. I've always loved the Mills & Boon format of Australia/UK romances and  WHITE CHRISTMAS FOR THE SINGLE MOM  is one of the best most recent Harlequin Medical Holiday reads I've enjoyed this year. Charlie is a sad stubborn OBGYN who gives Juliet a hard time with her more modern "ideas" of utero surgery. He thinks she's impulsive and as he believes his late wife's death was a result of impulsiveness, it takes a while for Juliet to convince him that the surgery was not a modern impulse but a well thought out method to save the quads. Both Juliet and Charlie are somewhat broken by past romances and Bea does a lot to help them open up to new possibilities. 

A quick read that I know you'll enjoy this holiday season.

Married to the man she met at eighteen, Susanne is the mother of two adult daughters, Orianthi and Tina. Her varied career titles have included dental nurse, personal assistant, contract manager and now Medical Romance author. The family also extends to a maltese shih-tzu, a poodle, three ducks and four hens. Susanne has always read romance novels and says, ‘I love a happy ever after so writing for Mills & Boon is a dream come true.’

Review---A VERY RUBY CHRISTMAS by Lavinia Kent * * * * *

Title: A VERY RUBY CHRISTMAS

Series: Bound and Determined #4.5

Author: Lavinia Kent

Genre: Holiday Romance/Regency Historical

Rating: * * * * *

Publishers: Loveswept (Nov 15, 2016)

eBook: 198 pages

ISBN: 9780399593871

FTC Disclosure: ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley

A winter storm stirs passions long denied in this sensual Yuletide romance, a short novel featuring the characters who once led Library Journal to declare, “Ruby and Derek's chemistry is just as explosive during their unbridled trysts as with their slow, ardent lovemaking.”
 Madame Rouge—Ruby to her intimates—always makes the secret desires of her clients a priority. Now the time has come to fulfill her own fantasy, one so private it brings a rare blush to her cheeks. When Captain Derek Price returns from his service to the sea, Ruby will sell London's elite house of pleasure, leaving behind her very home to marry the sailor who has mastered every surging crest of her body.
 Pity, then, the ill-timed arrival of Ruby's estranged half-sister, Jasmine, desperate for a warm bed and a sympathetic ear. Ruby is loath to marry the poor girl off to a stranger or, even worse, entrust her to the ignoble lord who has bid on the brothel. She has no other choice than to shelter Jasmine herself. As much as Ruby's heart races at the thought of a future with Derek, she now faces the possibility that, once again, her happy ending has been delayed—unless a Christmas miracle makes all their dreams come true.
 
A Very Ruby Christmas is intended for mature audiences. This ebook includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

GOODREADS

I have not read the earlier books in this series but despite being lost once in awhile, I still thoroughly enjoyed this holiday read. I will, however, add these earlier books to my wishlist as Kent managed to pack a whale of a story in less than 200 pages. Wow, it seemed much longer (in a good way) while I was reading it. Can't wait to pile up with a full length novel of hers.
I love when characters can rise above their past and go on to celebrate their own HEA. Ruby's occupation is not one that is often addressed in a Regency and I really enjoyed seeing this loving character reach out to her half-sister and possibly endangering her future in order to help someone else.

Praise for Lavinia Kent's Bound and Determined series

“A refined, sophisticated and tasteful historical romance . . . The mood is very seductive but still playful, and the sex scenes are scorching hot. . . . Revealing Ruby is superbly written, moves along quickly; it's a very enjoyable read.”—Fresh Fiction, on Revealing Ruby

Cover Artist: Amanda C. Davis

Father Time’s son, Zeit Geist,

must sacrifice a mortal’s lifetime to the Fates each New Year’s Eve. Last year—

inexplicably, really—he made an 11:59 substitution. The Fates are pissed and

they’re after his mortal Hannah. With the year ending, he ought to figure out why he’d saved her—and why he keeps doing it. Following an unlucky year, Hannah Lyons needs a week’s holiday in a lodge to unwind. What she gets is near-death experiences and a sexy immortal who can’t avoid kissing her, but might have to kill her. After all, even Zeit can’t hold back time indefinitely.

Amazon     BN     Apple    Goodreads

Excerpt:

“What are you doing to me?”

“What do you think I’m doing?”

She glared at him. Saying it out loud would

sound utterly stupid. “I keep

having these lapses of time. One minute, I’m in one place and,

the next, I’m in

another. And four times now, I’ve seen you walking away from me when it’s happened.”

“So, you’re accusing me of doing something

to your memory? Or of stalking

you?” He took another sip of his drink as if he was only mildly interested in her response.

She opened her mouth to say something before

snapping it closed. What was

she accusing him of? It all sounded silly and impossible,

and he’d be around this

whole week. Every time they saw each other, she’d f

feel humiliated that she’d actually thought…

Oh, who cared? She was going to get brain cancer

from all this testing if she

couldn’t get to the bottom of things.

“You’re doing something to time. I don’t know what you’re doing,

but I don’t think your name is just an odd little coincidence.”

For a blink, she saw something in his eyes and a quick half-smile.

“It’s a family name.”

“So, your entire family manipulates time?”
