Love on Greener Pastures: A Novelette Kindle Edition by Britt Joni

Book Excerpt:

"Holistic Artist, Isla Danielson, has met Mr. Right, but it was in her past -- and she allowed him to slip through her fingers. If she could go back in time, she would risk everything just to have a portion of the love she let escape her. On her journey to healing her broken heart, a chance encounter promises the opportunity for redemption. However, she finds mending her own heart is only half of her battle. 

Tennyson Hampton is a passionate bar owner who has been scorned by love a time or two. He's always been one to lead with love, but after his latest heartbreak, he vowed to pour all of his energy into his business. Although his heart has been declared closed off to love, he can't help but feel a void. But when a random meeting brings him face to face with his pain, he questions fate and his heart.

Will facing the past reignite an old flame, or has all remnants of love already been burned to ashes?"

"Love on Greener Pastures" by Britt Joni

My Speculation:

It was a beautiful novelette seeing that Isla finally realized she had to work on herself to be that 'better person' and seeing her mature through this situation beautifully captured from the reading. With Tennyson, it was also good to know that he also worked on himself before he could move forward with his life after what had happened between them. Seeing these two getting a second chance at love, forgiveness, and the needed therapy that was required showed them that their love really was just that and was meant to be.

I enjoyed this quick read showing that if it's meant to be, it will be "Love on Greener Pastures."

"Could've Been" by Michelle Michelle
My Speculation:  

I enjoyed "Could've Been" that featured Brandon and Corian, who had once been together and who were even thinking of marriage.  But things will happen due to the separation of these two due to Brandon takes a job in Japan away from Corian. What would be wrong about this situation was that these two didn't communicate very well, and then it seems like another person is coming into the picture that will cause problems?  As time goes own [three years], there will be a secret that Corian has kept well hidden from everyone.  Something unexpected will happen that will cause this secret to come out.  Now that there is someone else in Corian and Brandon's life, will these two be able to get there lives back as it once was for them, or  will it be a  'Could've Been?"

"A Curvy Christmas" by Jenn Roseton

Book Description.....

"When Kate is asked by her friend, Sarah McCord, to appear as Mrs. Claus in the Coldwater Springs Christmas parade, she doesn’t know what to think! After all, she’s only twenty-nine. And although she has a very curvy figure, she’s not matronly and gray-haired - yet.

But when she finds out that the hunky guy she’s admired for the last few months, Flynn Winters, will play opposite her as Santa, she’s glad she agreed to take part. Especially when the script calls for them to kiss ….

This is a sexy contemporary romance novelette of approximately 6,800 words. Although it’s part of the Coldwater Springs series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Sarah and Chase, Libby and Jake, Cassie and Luke, and Emma and Cade's romances are in the boxed set, Curves and Cowboys (BBW Romance - Coldwater Springs 1-4) available on Amazon."


What I liked about the novel.....  


I will say I loved this short quick contemporary romance read with only two main characters that will put a smile on your face as you are reading through this sweet funny novella.  Santa and Mrs. Claus on that float was the real deal in this cute little story.  I loved the way they had to practice for this part everyday!  Will they get that kiss perfected?   Well, you will have to pick up "A Curvy Coldwater Christmas" to see for yourself.
