Maybe it’s because of the uncharacteristically warm weather, maybe it’s because I’m becoming more scattered in my old age…but Christmas really snuck up on me this year. I haven’t done anything to prepare! So now it’s time to make lists and get shopping. My favorite list to write—at any time of the year—is the books I’m going to read over the holidays. I can’t wait to curl up on the couch, hot coffee / toddy / chocolate in hand and escape into a great story. We’ve got four you’ll want to add to your list. But be careful—if you put these Blazes under the tree, you may start a fire!
First up on our list is A COWBOY UNDER THE MISTLETOE by the ever-awesome Vicki Lewis Thompson. Ty Slater is definitely the kind of man you’d like to find setting up your Christmas tree! Life hasn’t been easy for Ty and he’s learned to live with a broken heart. But something about Whitney Yates breaks through his carefully constructed armor… He thinks he can give into his lust without letting her into his heart—foolish cowboy! When they find themselves at Thunder Mountain over the holidays well, it’s more than the Christmas spirit that takes over! Fans of Vicki’s glorious Thunder Mountain Brotherhood series will love this sexy romance and enjoy seeing characters from the previous books.
Although I do love a cozy, snowy Christmas, I sometimes long to escape at this time of year, especially somewhere tropical. For fans of vacation romance, don’t miss A TASTE OF PARADISE, which features two hot, hot, hot novellas! First, New York Times bestselling author Leslie Kelly writes a passionate, emotional and unforgettable story in “Addicted to You.” Heather Hughes has an unbelievable few days with quarterback Nate Watson before it ends in scandal and heartbreak. But they are thrown together again due to a fantastic trick of fate—then we are treated to a whole new take on “stranded on a desert island”! “More Than a Fling” is the debut of Shana Gray. Welcome to Blaze, Shana! If Hawaii is your thing, check out this tempting story of the perfect fling—brief and wicked! But Lana Hunter can’t resist exploring what it would be like to have more time with Grant Rankin, an international businessman with more than sex (mostly) on his mind. I really hope you enjoy these stories.
Regina Kyle is back with another steamy book from her The Art of Seduction miniseries—and she does not disappoint! Ivy Nelson is a globetrotting fashion photographer, and Cade Hardesty is a small-town firefighter (and object of her hottest fantasies!) in TRIPLE DARE. Oh, yes, Cade is also her brother’s best friend. The guy who only saw her as a pal when they were growing up…but the shoe is on the other foot now! Cade can’t seem to keep his hands off her and would do anything to convince her to be with him. But she’s created a glamorous life and great career that has nothing to do with staying in a small town. We’ll see if Cade can keep the home fires burning! Regina writes irresistibly sexy stories with lots of humor and heart. Put her on your reading list, for sure!
I’m of the opinion that you can never have too many cowboys. Apparently, you can also never have too many guys named Cade! (haha) This is the second book in Kelli Ireland’s Wild Western Heat miniseries, and it does not disappoint! Cade Covington is struggling with turning his family’s ranch into a tourist attraction (see A COWBOY RETURNS from August 2015). City slicker PR pro Emma Graystone is there to help him…but he doesn’t see it that way. Emma knows she can’t get involved with Cade—it’s her career at stake. But Cade is one cowboy who drives her crazy with hunger. All it takes is one small wager and their chemistry explodes! To find out how, read COWBOY PROUD.
I hope you enjoy these stories, and all the lovely things this season brings. Tell me which cover you like best and I’ll send you a set of all four December Blazes—our gift to you. Have a Merry Blazing Hot Christmas, and we’ll see you in the New Year!
