Y'all, we've got Nancy Fraser with us and she's sharing two romances. Both are on sale for $0.99! Nancy writes stories with awesome female characters. They're mature and so smart. And her heroes are always heart-stopping, fan-yourself sexy! You will NOT be disappointed. So, let's hear why Santa's confused this summer!

​Yes, Summer’s on the Way and Santa’s Confused
 
It seems as if everyone is planning to celebrate Christmas in July so—despite needing a vacation—Santa seems to be extra busy. However, we did manage to find him a beach to visit and a couple of great short novellas to enjoy.
 
First, let’s whisk Santa away to Last Chance Beach and let him soak up some sun and relax with a sassy reunion romance. And, even better, the characters are in their forties, so Santa’s able to relate (somewhat).

I Do...Again
 
Thirty-five years earlier, Lily Abbott and Mitch Colby exchanged wedding vows in a quaint ceremony attended by a small crowd consisting of four Micronauts, a one-eyed pet rock, two special-edition Barbies, and an assortment of stuffed animals. Officiated by Stretch Armstrong, it was the social event of their 8th summer.
 
Lily never forgot the childhood ceremony. Or the fact her best friend and first love had left her behind and relocated to Boston to pursue an Ivy-League education. Now a divorcee, with college-bound twin daughters, Lily’s moved on and put the foolishness of first crushes and the childish dream of true love behind her.
 
At eighteen, Mitch had never wanted the expensive education his father mapped out for him. He’d have been perfectly happy to stay in Summerville, marry the love of his life, and settle down. However, when push came to shove, he’d not wanted to upset his ailing mother, and had left everything...and everyone...that he’d wanted behind.
The 25th reunion of the graduating class of Summerville High has brought Lily and Mitch back together at The Sands, a seaside resort on Last Chance Beach. Will one weekend together be enough? Or, is there a possibility for more?

​​Then, once Santa’s had a few fruity drinks, let’s get him back in the holiday spirit with this vintage (1980s) Dickens Holiday Prequel, Making Christmas. My hero from last year’s Dickens Holiday Romance Anthology, Rick Barrett, wanted to share his parents’ love story, so Making Christmas was born!
​
​Making Christmas
 
A 1980s Vintage Romance...
 
It’s been five years since William Barrett returned to Dickens to take over as CEO of Wil-Bar Toys. He’s spent these past years helping build Wil-Bar into a leader in creative, handmade toys. His work ethic and drive has left him little time for a personal life. Or, perhaps he’s still pining for the one who got away.
 
Catherine Gates moved away from Dickens six years earlier. Now a staff reporter for a woman’s magazine, she’s returning to Dickens to do a story on Wil-Bar Toys new production methods and get the scoop on their upcoming holiday line.
 
When Will and Cat meet up again for the first time in years, it’s as if they’ve never been apart. Rekindling their friendship, and attraction, becomes more important than Cat’s article, or even the secrecy of the new toy lines.
 
Can these two childhood friends make up for lost time and pursue the romance they missed out on years earlier? Or, will Cat’s story expose too much and put them at odds with one another?

Kara, thank you so much for the share. I love both these books so, like Santa, I'm torn between which one to read first!

I love having you! Your books are great. I feel sorry for Santa and myself since I'm now in the same dilemma!
