Posted November 7, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance, Holiday Romance, Modern Western Romance, Multi-Author Series, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

She’s pregnant. He’s furious. And Christmas is coming.

Mac Bodie doesn’t do roots, relationships, or Christmas cheer. A former ward of the state, he’s built an empire from a forgotten land, turning dust into millions. Now he’s seized a cattle station next to his maybe-brother’s spread, hell-bent on unmasking the family who abandoned him as a baby.

Jess Lean doesn’t mind hard work, single-handedly running the cattle station her ailing father manages for a distant owner. But when Bodie—her unforgettable one-night stand—buys the land and uncovers their struggles, he’s no longer the laughing hero of her dreams. Worse, he spots her pregnancy before she does!

With Christmas closing in, vengeance within reach, and fatherhood looming, Bodie faces a brutal reckoning. Jess, whose passion still haunts him, refuses to marry him unless he dares to leave his past behind. Will he rise to become the man two unexpected families need, forging a legacy of love and forgiveness?

All he must do is take a chance on love and bare his fragile, guarded heart.

He has one month to make a Christmas miracle happen.
 
Laney Reynolds knows there’s only one place that can help her heal a broken heart: Cherrywood Creek. The small town where she grew up, with its holiday festivals and snow-covered streets, is exactly where she needs to be this December. It feels good to leave the bustling city, where her husband was too busy climbing the corporate ladder to notice the growing distance between them. But she’s got his attention now . . .

Connor received his wake-up call loud and clear when Laney left, and there’s no way he’s giving up on his marriage. If that means dropping everything and trading high-rises for gingerbread houses to sweep his wife off her feet in her hometown, then so be it. This time, he’s listening, but it’ll take more than hot chocolate dates and even hotter nights to win Laney back. Can he prove that being a CEO is nowhere near as important as being her husband?

The timing’s terrible…

Fleeing a life her wealthy father planned—including the groom he picked out—Perth midwife Gabi Hudson heads off grid to the small and charming town of Wirralong in the Outback.

Kissed on Christmas by Reina Everhart

Posted November 3, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Holiday Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

Josephine (Josie) Miller lives for Christmas, the lights, the carols, the cocoa-fueled chaos of it all. As Magnolia Springs’ holiday-obsessed librarian, she believes there’s no problem a little tinsel can’t fix… until a sudden snowstorm leaves her stranded in the mountains two weeks before Christmas.

Enter Weylan Frost, a reclusive, widowed, grumpy mountain hermit with eyes like glaciers and a voice that could freeze the sun. He’s everything Josie isn’t: cold, quiet, and definitely not interested in her gingerbread-level cheer. But when he rescues her from the blizzard and shelters her in his hidden cabin, sparks start to melt the ice between them.

What Josie doesn’t know is that Weylan isn’t entirely human. He’s the guardian of Magnolia Spring’s winter wardline, a Yeti shifter bound to protect the mountains from storms and worse. And when she crashes into his world, her warmth begins to tether him to the one thing he’s been losing year after year… his humanity.

Snowed in together, one grump and one sunshine find that sometimes love is the strongest magic of all. Because sometimes fate doesn’t just find you… It claims you.

Kissed on Christmas is a complete standalone. You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy it, though fun cameos from other characters will pop up along the way.

Eliana Sanderson has accepted that love—and everything that comes with it—isn’t in the cards for her. Thanks to a centuries-old family curse, every attempt at romance ends in chaos, calamity, or combustion. Literally. Appliance fires, allergic reactions, and awkward exits have all sealed her reputation as Wild Rose Point’s most unlucky-in-love woman.

But when Halloween season rolls into town, Eliana makes a deal with her longtime crush—rugged, no-nonsense cowboy Cooper Langdon. If he helps with the town’s haunted hayrides, she’ll pull some strings with the council to support the brewery he wants to build on his ranch.

It’s a win-win… until Eliana accidentally confesses her secret: she’s cursed, and still very much untouched.

Cooper doesn’t believe in curses, but he does believe in Eliana—and he’s more than willing to prove that some sparks are strong enough to defy fate. But as their chemistry sizzles and the town’s spooky season gets underway, it becomes clear that falling for each other might be the most dangerous thing of all.
