"A Widow's Heart: Mail Order Bride" by Christian Michael

Author's Book Description : Carolina Hendricks thought she had her life figured out...

Boy was she ever wrong. She is hanging on by a thread in the ride of her life. Three months ago, she was happily married to her first love and best friend, now she is a widow in Boston with a baby on the way. The life that she had envisioned for herself is filled with nothing more than broken pieces. To top it all off, the man she loathes is determined to marry her and will not take no for an answer – he will stop at nothing to get her, even if he has to destroy her first.

Will she take a leap of faith into the unknown and trust God to keep her standing? Will a handsome stranger and his daughter be her salvation? She just met Matthew Jones; does she dare trust him? Can she afford not to? Will love be in store for both of them?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, a woman who recently lost her husband has her life upended again when a creepy man keeps trying to pursue her, she's informed that she's a couple months pregnant, and told she is running low on funds. A friend of her late husband's comes to her rescue in more ways than one, but will she be able to agree to all he is asking of her...

It’s a sweet short story about overcoming loss, finding a possible new love, and putting your faith in God. What originally hooked me was the novella's cover, as it seemed fitting. What I found when reading this was a woman set up for bad circumstances but she still finds her own way through it all. I liked it, even though it seemed a little preachy at times. I think I'd have liked it more if it included Matthew's POV too. Nevertheless, it's a good quick read.

I know that this short story isn’t on Amazon at this moment (at least not the same way I purchased it) but I do recommend it to those looking for a very quick Christian romance if you can find it somewhere else.

Book Teaser(s) :

Matthew offered her a ride back to the house and she agreed. He helped her clamber up in front of him. As she settled in more comfortably, she became very aware of the muscular chest against her back, the strong arms around her and the masculine scent now surrounding her.
Suddenly she felt a warm breath against her ear as he whispered, "I feel it too."
Carolina blushed, wishing she wasn't so easy to read. ~ within the story as there are no listed Chapters

Made the Grade: Her Stepbrothers Are Dragons by Trinity Blacio

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 321 KB | Expected Release Date: December 23, 2015 | Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"Her Stepbrothers Are Dragons" [Stepbrothers Series, Book 1] by Trinity Blacio (aka Maria MoonStar)

Author's Book Description : Holly Brewner knew she had a problem with Christmas Eve, but she thought her way of celebrating was better anyway. Twelve days of gifts and on Christmas Day, the big one. Her father and she had celebrated every year like this, but this year was going to be different.

This year she had a new stepmom and two stepbrothers, who happened to be dragons, and that changed all her plans.

Upon their arrival, her house burned down, she was shot at, and now she was staying in a cave for two days as if that were normal. On top of that, her two stepbrothers, Darius and Malcolm Longfellow, were claiming they were her mates and that they were going to marry her on Christmas Eve.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, Christmas is Holly’s favorite time of year but she just learned her family has gotten a little bit fuller after she reads her father’s letter informing her of his sudden marriage and her new stepbrothers. However, she’s not going to let that throw her off, even after she learns that her latest advertising clients are her stepbrothers and they are in town to find out more about her. Therefore, she finds a way to retaliate Christmas-style. Only it all seems to backfire on her once she realizes they are dragon-shifters and she is actually their mate. Will she be able to handle all the upcoming life changes coming her way or will it all be too much?

I have read most of Ms. Blacio’s Stepbrothers Series and I have to say this one surprised me with its setup. Loaded with the Christmas-y spirit (surprising after Holly’s past comes out) and a new play on the “12 Days of Christmas” revenge style, I found this novel very entertaining and enjoyed learning about Holly, Darius, and Malcolm. Nevertheless, I found their relationship a bit forced and the beginning on the slower paced side, which made it hard for me to get into it, as I would have liked. Even so, it was Holly’s feistiness and how her men win her over that hooked me into this novel.

I recommend it to those looking for a paranormal romance that has a little erotic fun included that will get you into the holiday spirit too!

Book Teaser(s) :

"'On the fifth day of Christmas, there is supposed to be five golden rings, but I'll be damned if I buy you two five rings, but...'" Malcolm turned over the paper and there was nothing on the other side.
Darius stared at the box on the bed. "I hate to say it, but I'm afraid to touch the thing. What the hell is that smell?" he growled and slowly started to open the box, this time wishing he hadn't. "She send us shit!"
"Looks like five little balls." Malcolm groaned. "I'm with you, we should beat her butt." They stared at the sixth box as if it had grown a head. ~ within Chapter 1
