Cole for Christmas by Kelly Collins
Chloe Craig is desperate for any design job she can get after struggling to make it in the ski town she has escaped to. She accepts a job to transform Mr.Cole's house into a winter wonderland in just 3 days before his family arrives. When her temp arrives she quickly puts him to work helping her with the house.
Elias Cole does not believe in the Christmas spirit but is very impressed with how his house has been transformed by the talented Chloe. He is instantly attracted to her but she will not cross that relationship line with a boss.
Will Elias and Chloe allow their feelings for each other to grow and when Elias gives Chloe another job will she take it or reject it based on her heart?
When Elias's family arrives and embrace Chloe will the truth come out?
This is such a sweet Christmas story that embraces the meaning of finding love when you least expect it. I loved Elias's family - especially Gretchen and Grandma!
Elias is one of a kind and his heart is huge!! Yet he is also cautious after having it broke a few times! I completely understand the hesitancy with Chloe wanting not to have a relationship with her boss after what she has gone through in her past.
Great Christmas love story!!
Tangled in Tinsel by Stacy Eaton
Casey Lowe is on the run from her past and refuses to let anyone get close to her, except her friend Brandy. She has ended up in the town of Celebration as a nursing supervisor in the emergency department.
Thad Wagner is a police officer in town and is attracted to Casey but she has no interest at all in married men and pushes him away.
As Casey and Thad face internal battles over their attraction to each other more seems to be at stake as Casey's past comes back and her life is in danger and it appears she is in over her head.
I really enjoyed this book and how the lack of communication played such a major role! Casey hs so much to overcome and I really enjoyed her character. I also really liked Thad and how he did all he could to help Casey without anything in return. There was so much tension in the book and I couldn't put it down!!

I love Guy and how he pushes Frankie into believing she is capable and good enough to make her dreams come true! The DiDominzio family has many secrets within that I'm sure will come out in the next books and I anticipate many tears to come!! This book was a great introduction to the family and I love Frankie's determination of not giving up her dreams!!
Christmas Choices by Sharon Coady
Rhian St.Claire seems to live her life under the microscope of her father's approval and decides on her own to go to Italy but her plans are changed when her grandfather's injured in a fire at his restaurant. Rhian is in charge of the restoration, along with bad-boy Kellan Slade, whom her father has hired.
Rhian is very atteracted to Kellan but pushes her feelings aside, knowing her father wouldn't approve and due to Kellan never opening up to her. Rhian runs off to Italy instead of facing her feelings towards Kellan and while there meets Dante Baron. Is Dante what Rhian is after or does she still have feelings for Kellan and will Kellan forgive Rhian for running away from him?
This was a great book and I loved how Rhian and Kellan avoided how they felt yet everyone around them saw what was developing. I especially loved the character of Denny who had a brain injury from a car accident yet appeared to be the most with it when it came to love. Parental approval is so important to many people and it's hard to want someone you believe would never fit into the mold you believe your parents want.
