CHRISTMAS JONES
A Sweet Holiday Fantasy Romance
By Linda Mooney
$3.99 e

Jones is hard at work at the factory when she gets the call every worker wishes for this time of year from The Boss. She’s chosen as one of the lucky twelve, bestowed with the honor of being a Bearer of Christmas Wishes. There are rules, of course, but it’s fairly simple. Pass out candy canes to people in your assigned area to spread some Christmas magic, then you can go back home.

If only it were that simple.

Jones lands in a big city in freezing weather, and a snowstorm is blowing in. She’s alone in a new world, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger, she’s able to find food and shelter.

Barrett doesn’t have much himself, being a homeless vet who’s fallen on hard times, but he’s willing to help however he can. Jones seems to be lost, more than a little naïve, and maybe a bit crazy, but he’s the last one to judge. He feels protective of her, and he could use some of that Christmas magic himself. 

Feelings are new to Jones, especially one in particular. And when she thinks she may lose Barrett for good, she must do what it takes to save him as he saved her.

Turns out, love may be the greatest magic of all.

Warning! Contains a broken candy cane, real cold and hunger, five rules, an aversion to peppermint, legal tender, a striped bowl, and one man finding Christmas magic with a woman who only has one name.

A GHOST OF A CHANCE
Contemporary Paranormal Romance
By Linda Mooney
Word Count: 40.8K
$3.99 e / $10.99 p

Sometimes you need a little help…from the other side.

After being permanently injured on the job, Crime Scene Investigator Victoria Fanning was forced into an early retirement. When her twin brother is promoted to chief of police back in their hometown, he wants her on his team, regardless of her handicap. She agrees to go on retainer for two weeks, but she doesn’t realize how much she missed the job, and her brother, until she gets there.

The previous investigator, Jackson Mullen, was killed on the job, but Vic is impressed by the lab he set up and his reputation. Imagine her surprise when Jackson appears to her and offers his two cents on her thoughts. Despite the fact that he’s a ghost, she’s not afraid. Quite the opposite, actually.

They realize they have a lot in common, similar ideals and purpose, and Vic enjoys having Jack’s help on her first case, an elderly woman shot with a Revolutionary era weapon. But is she getting too close to Jack? Too reliant?

She realizes that she has a tough decision to make. If she’s to have any kind of personal life, any type of future, Jack can’t be a part of it.

That decision is soon taken out of her hands.

Warning! Contains a quarter, a swipe card, a musket ball, a massage, twinergy, pizza, things come in threes or third time's the charm, and a broken woman finding love with the ghost of a man whose job she's taken.

Holiday Reading Round-Up!

I love Christmas Romance stories--the Hallmarkier the better. Give me cheesy romance, a little magic, all the tropes, all the re-imagined classic stories and I'm a happy elf. 

Here's a shortish list of a few of the books I'm looking forward to cracking open this holiday season:

Jingle Spells

(Oak Haven Witches Book 2)

Emily Grimoire

 

A witch who hates Christmas returns to Oak Haven and teams up with a holiday-hating human to restore order in this sweet magical romance.

I have the first book in this series and am really looking forward to Christmas in Oak Haven.

The House on Hidden Lane

Jayne Ann Krentz

 

New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz dives into an enthralling new romantic suspense novel filled with deeply entrenched grudges, psychic dangers, and a conspiracy that threatens not only two families but also the entire paranormal community.

I haven’t read a new Krentz book in AGES! So, this is going to be a treat. Unfortunately, it looks like the release date isn’t until JANUARY? WTF?

Scrooged for the Holidays

Kayla Grosse

 

A modern "A Christmas Carol" retelling where Ice Queen Greer meets three supernatural men in a mountain town, leading to a steamy holiday romance with paranormal elements.

I LOVE this idea. And the fact that the three men are angels? Be still my heart!

Good Spirits

B.K. Borison

 A woman finds romance with the ghost of Christmas Past while he's haunting her.

 

Okay, as mentioned above, I’m a sucker for anything based on “A Christmas Carol”. And I think I’d buy this book just for the gorgeous cover.  And speaking of which…

 

Lovelight Farms

Lovelight Series Book 1

B.K. Borison

A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams.

 

This one is a couple of years old, but I love a good madcap, Christmas-tree-farm romance and the cover is once again GORGEOUS.

As you might have guessed, I love writing Christmas-themed stories, too. Last year I loved it a little too much and ended up releasing a book or two every week throughout December. 

This year I decided to keep things simple. My releases include two collections of previously released stories that have been bundled together. The third book is a short story I've co-written with authors Kate Davies and Kelly Jamieson and is part of our Pour Decisions world. 

Details about each book can be found on my website at:  https://www.pgforte.com/only-for-the-holidays

And what's Christmas without Christmas music, right? So here's a link to one of my Christmas Playlists!
