Secret Santa
by Libby Mercer
Abbie MacQueen is celebrating at the office Christmas party complete with Secret Santa gifts when she receives her Christmas gift of a treasure hunt where “your Christmas dreams will come true” but the only problem is Abbie does not have any Christmas dreams or so she thinks.
Libby Mercer creates a nice and original story line with a treasure hunt as a Secret Santa gift that is sure to please the avid reader. The problem I had with the novella was the cursing in the beginning and again near the end which seemed to be out of place. Nonetheless, this is a good story with plenty of Christmas Cheer.
Twelve Drummers Drumming
by Laura Chapman
Autumn and Tuck are headed to Westminster, Colorado for Christmas with their families while staying at a home built into the side of a mountain with a breathtaking view. This is a much deserved vacation for Tuck who is a band drummer and Autumn because of Tuck’s band schedule that rarely allows them time alone together. This will be a special Christmas for Autumn and Tuck that neither knows about the special gifts they will share with each other.
Laura Chapman’s romantic Christmas story is full of love, family, and friends that may bring a tear to your eye (Not that it happened to me, I am just saying…wink, wink).
Merry & Bright has six great Christmas tales that will surely delight any faithful chick lit genre reader on a cozy afternoon or evening with a cup of joe or glass of wine. This collection would definitely be appreciated as a gift to a fellow avid reader for Christmas or anytime which I am highly recommending.
