"Ghost of Christmas" by Kenya Wright

My Speculation:  

This was a wonderful Christmas Story that featured Ivy and Saint.  What had happened to make Ivy that made her so bitter when it came to the Christmas holiday and let's not leave out her father?  Will Ivy's best friend Holly's wedding held in Finland make a difference in this situation? Well, I think there will become some changes for Ivy, especially when Saint appears, who is a long-time friend.   I enjoyed how this author delivered a read that presents a 'Christmas past, present, and future' using ghosts to teach the heroine some vital lessons that will bring it all out. I love this story comes together that puts a real Christmas spin on this holiday.  Be ready for a good read as you will find yourself laughing at lots of what is going on with this group of friends... Ivy, Saint, Holly & Nicholas.  This story will have some 'sadness, hurt, love, forgiveness, and some hot sex scenes' that will keep you turning the pages to see what is coming next.  You will have to pick up "Ghosts of Christmas" to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader.  

Home For Christmas: A Short Holiday Love Story Kindle Edition by Brookelyn Mosley

Book Excerpt:

" Dear Santa...

Jaleel and Eva Gordon haven’t lived in the same house since the summer, and this Christmas, their son’s concise Christmas wish list will change all that.

As a former college phenom turned Bronx Ballers’ shooting guard, Jaleel Gordon hasn’t reached his level of success doing the bare minimum for his struggling team. He’s been grinding and grinding hard, but success doesn’t come easily or without its share of sacrifices. For Jaleel, his biggest sacrifice was his relationship with his soon-to-be ex-wife Eva.

Business owner Eva Gordon is so through with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Jaleel. She’s no stranger to hard work, but even she knows when to work hard and play harder. After patiently waiting for her husband to tap into that philosophy, she’s given up on him altogether. This is why six months ago, after yet another explosive argument with Jaleel, Eva demanded a divorce... even though her heart is taking a bit longer to catch up to her demand.

Eva and Jaleel’s son isn’t asking Santa for a new bike or video game this Christmas. On the contrary, what the baby boy wants won’t fit underneath the tree at all. This Christmas, his one and only wish is to spend the holiday with his separated parents... under one roof. So, Jaleel is coming home for Christmas... but can Eva and Jaleel put aside their differences to make it through the holiday intact and in one piece?"

*This is a holiday short story.

"Home For Christmas" by  Brookelyn Mosley

My Speculation:

 

Another good second chance read that will keep you turning the pages.  For Eva and Jaleel, who were on their way to divorcing, there will be a stop with what their son JR was asking for ...for Christmas.  Will JR get his wish?  I liked this sexy love short story that will put a smile on your face as you will see how well everything is unfolding for this family.  And in the end, well, this is where I say you will have to pick up "Home For Christmas" to see how well this author brings this story out so well for the reader.

"The Christmas Women" by Elyse Douglas

Book Description....

"When 38-year old Trudie Parks learns that her high school drama teacher is seriously ill, she immediately contacts her two best friends in high school, Kristen and Mary Ann. Together, they'd been known as "The Christmas Girls." They'd produced and starred in the annual high school Christmas show, which their teacher, Mrs. Childs, had directed.

Determined to show their love for Mrs. Childs, they plan a 20-year reunion to recreate the Christmas show for her. What they don't anticipate is the complicated emotions this provokes, as former sweethearts appear and rekindle romance, painful memories and the sting of unrealized dreams. All three women must reassess their lives and their friendships, while struggling to produce the show, even while Mrs. Childs seems to grow weaker by the day.

As Christmas Eve approaches, The Christmas Women prepare for an event that will take them and the audience to the farthest reaches of the human heart and resonate throughout the rest of their lives."

 

 

What I liked about the read....

This was quite a interesting story of three women who had been childhood friends and were known as 'The Christmas Girls' now twenty years later are back together again in their hometown due to a  teacher, Mrs. Childs who  is ill.   Trudie, Kristen and Mary Ann have come back to perform their Christmas show.  This will turn out to be some reunion where alumnus and their families.  Many old feelings will  come about as they put together this Christmas show as there will be some twist and turns  going on.   With saying that I will stop here and say pick up "The Christmas Women" to see how this is presented by this author to the reader.  From the read you will see how good this story is especially during the Christmas holidays and how these three ladies were able to come together to give a excellent successful production for their teacher.  In the end you will be given a wonderful Christmas story.  Would I recommend?  YES!
