SEAL's Christmas Daughter by Katie Knight and Leslie Knight

Posted

Having just read Cowboy's Christmas Heart by Leslie North, I embarked on SEAL's Christmas Daughter thinking it would be very much the same. It wasn't, and not in a bad way; it was just different. 

This is not a book using Christmas as the driving part of the plot; instead we follow retired SEAL Zach as he is working a civvie case, protecting the wife and daughter of a friend of a friend. At the beginning of the story, he literally bumps into a car driven by Marissa, the woman he hasn't seen and cannot get our of his head after a one-night stand ten years ago. 

I liked how Zach is working hard to get to know Marissa and the daughter which was the result of their wild night ten years ago, but still trying to stay professional for the case.  Despite her caution, Marissa supports him in protecting the next door neighbours allowing their relationship to develop. 

The SEAL's Christmas Daughter is written by Katie Knight, but for some reason (publicity stunt?) also marked as written by Leslie North. After having read this book, I believe Katie Knight should be successful in publishing books on her own, without using Leslie North's name; this would also more firmly confirm her own way of writing.

The Favourites by Layne Fargo

Posted
Intense. Heart wrenching. The intrigue was real, and often extremely well hidden.  "To the world, they were a scandal. To each other, an obsession." Kat lives for her figure skating. Heath Rocha was a way to get there - not her first love. Kat is determination. Heath is power, dark power.  The figure skating world is manipulative, where being best is closely linked to having money, and people in your hands. To always wanting more of everything. Quote from the book: "But what was the point if you had everything and enjoyed nothing?" I loved the layers of this story. It would be fab on the big screen! The Favourites by Layne Fargo is currently set to publish on 16 January 2025.  #TheFavourites #NetGalley

Christmas Cancellation by Evie James

Posted
Noelle is heading back to her hometown to find out what her aunt has left her in her will. She's leaving it 'til last minute and in true Christmas story style, bad weather cancels her flights.  Completely distraught, she lets out her frustration on the Captain Kol Vinter. Against his better judgement, he offers to drive Noelle to her destination, it's close to where he is going. What could go wrong? It has all the tropes as listed in the blurb of the book: Holiday, Forced Proximity, One Bed, Opposites Attract, Return to Small Hometown, Blizzard, Afraid to Commit, Not Who I Thought You Were, Pilot, Horse Girl, Possessive Man, Sassy Girl. Enjoyable, quick, read.  Christmas Cancellation by Evie James is currently scheduled to publish on 20 November 2024.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Julianna Keyes

As it says in the blurb from the publisher: " Hallmark with Snark " Two writers, who both hate Christmas, are set the challenge to spend a week in a Noelville, a dedicated Christmas resort and write a sappy, Christmas loving story. The winner gets a sought after promotion. What could go wrong? Well, it is the festive season and not even these two Grinches manage to stay unaffected by the magic. Lots of fab banter, some 'balanced' Christmas sap - all in all a sweet Christmas story with e HEA.  It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by Julianna Keyes is available from 1 December 2024.  #ItsBeginningtoLookaLotLikeChristmas #NetGalley.
