Holiday Wishes & Awesome Novellas

I’ve been a little absent lately from the blog, but things are starting to quiet down and I’ll be back to reading and reviewing like a rock star!

We had a wonderful holiday weekend with family. Florida Christmas celebrations are always interesting, and this one was no different. On Christmas day, we were out on a boat enjoying low 70’s temperatures and watching the manatees play in the canal. Later, a group of dolphins stopped by and we stood out on the boat dock and watched them play.

I was also able to read two great novellas this Christmas and I highly recommend both. I might re-read them just to keep the holiday spirit going for a little while longer!

The first was This Wicked Gift, by new author Courtney Milan. The novella was part of The Heart of Christmas anthology. Courtney’s story is worth buying the whole book for even if you ignored the rest of the book, and I can’t wait to read her debut full length historical romance, Proof of Seduction which releases January 1st. 

The second was Winter Heat by Dawn Halliday and was part of the A Highlander Christmas anthology. I adored the heroine Maggie McDonald and what romance lover doesn’t enjoy a little taste of a Highlander?

All in all, a relaxing holiday with some great reads.

What about you? Did you have a good holiday? What was the most fun thing you did, or the best book you were able to sneak time in to read?
