It Had To Be Yule by Farrah Jane

Posted December 18, 2025 by Marsha in Christmas Romance, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, Kindle Unlimited, NetGalley, No Spice Romance, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

On the outside, actress Jules Silver seems to have it all—Rom-com sweetheart, a career on the rise, and the longtime love of Hollywood’s leading man. But after a disastrous red-carpet event sends her life reeling, all Jules wants is an escape into her favorite season—Christmas—and space to figure out what she really wants.

The perfect place to make both happen? Dearing Creek, the magical Minnesota lakeside town where she spent every summer growing up—where the place and people brought her back to life long ago. And where one man has always been there for her.

Ethan Blake has loved Jules since the beginning. She was sunshine and laughter in his world of campfires and starry nights, the girl he’s never been able to forget. So when the stars align—bringing them together for a holiday road trip from Los Angeles back to where they started—Ethan can’t help believing that Fate is tossing him one last chance to prove he is worthy of her.

When a snowstorm strands them in Noel—a Christmas-obsessed mountain town filled with legend, twinkle lights, and holiday magic—the two suddenly find their carefully drawn lines between lifelong friendship and love become blurred. And when Jules’s past comes calling, they both must decide if love is worth the risk—or if happily-ever-after will remain something that exists only in the movies.

Titles in the Dearing Creek series include:  Lake I Love You ~ It Had To Be Yule ~

This is a no-spice romance with either closed doors or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved 🙂

Scrooge-ish by L. B. Dunbar

Posted December 16, 2025 by Marsha in Choc Lit/Ruby Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, Kindle Unlimited, NetGalley, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I hate Christmas.

I don’t know who thought every female must love shopping, wrapping, baking, and hosting, but I’m missing the memo. On top of that, I manage a top-end department store. Sprinkle in the fact I’ll be turning forty during this holiday season, and my life is a Christmas cookie recipe gone wrong.

And every year, I become a little more Scrooge-ish.

But the spirit of the most wonderful time of the year (insert sarcasm) seems to have a plan for me and my midlife crisis attitude.

First, my past returns when I attend a high school reunion happy hour and run into that boy—the one I had a summer fling with after graduation and before college—then promptly ghosted me.

The torture continues because that boy is now a man, worldly and wise and sexier than I remember. And he invites me to attend a holiday work party with him.

Which leads to my discovery that there is a lot more to this forty, fine, former NFL quarterback, now fireman, like being a single father to the sweetest little girl, putting me at risk of falling for both of them.

However, I have my reasons not to believe in love and the happiest time of the year. And the first twenty-five days of December test all my strength.

Just what the Dickens is happening? Charles himself might approve of this plot.

Even I’m a little curious to see how it all plays out.

Rancher’s New Beginning by Olivia Kay

Posted December 14, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Kindle Unlimited, Modern Western Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I knew ranch life would be messy… but I didn’t expect it to personally attack me.

One minute I’m a newlywed trying to waddle my very pregnant self across our porch, and the next I’m watching my sexy cowboy husband argue with a tractor like it owes him money.

And somehow, between the broken fences, the weather, and Boone stealing every baby sock we own, Tanner Briggs and I are supposed to be building our happily‑ever-after at Rising Star Ranch.

He’s calm, collected, and unfairly gorgeous. I’m hormonal, sleep‑deprived, and absolutely not immune to the way he touches me in the bedroom.

Then the baby comes early. The barn roof gives up on life while revealing past secrets. And the whole town starts treating us like their favorite reality TV show.

I watch him holding our daughter, and it makes me fall for him all over again.

Then life throws a bigger curveball than either of us is ready for.

The scariest part of loving Tanner isn’t the chaos; it’s realizing how easily I could lose everything I’m fighting for.

Small-town Wilfred, Oregon, is poised to step into the limelight, and the citizens behind the renovation of the old movie palace—into a brew pub—certainly want that to continue. Until librarian and apprentice witch Josie Way discovers a dead body . . .

Local librarian Josie Way’s life is in shambles. Her magical abilities are on the fritz, and her relationship with sexy sheriff Sam has cooled way off since she told him she’s a witch. On top of that, Josie senses a bad energy she can’t explain, which seems to be interrupting her connection with the spellbound library books, usually her sure-fire way to get to the bottom of any mystery.

When she wakes to a fierce pounding in the library’s atrium, she hurries there—only to find a corpse. But after she goes for the phone to call Sam, she returns to the atrium to find the body gone—and all the doors and windows are still locked. And that’s just the beginning of a mystery that features Josie as the prime suspect, several shady characters, and possible long-lost relatives. It’s just like the beginning of an old movie, but Josie will need a lot more direction than her grandmother’s magic lessons will provide . . .

Love, legacy, and one last Nantucket Christmas …

As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.

But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbour Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed hottie talk her into having some fun.

But when it’s back to reality, one wild tryst night isn’t enough for Danny, and whilst they’re drawn to each other like magnets, Holly has no time for dating between study and the unrelenting exhaustion of shiftwork.

Suddenly, though, Danny’s world changes in the form of a surprise billion-dollar inheritance, and he figures it could be the key to winning Holly’s heart. Wrong. He soon finds out that money can’t buy him love. For that, he’s going to need to be much more creative!
