This author has a movie with his name on the script. That’s an awesome accomplishment, a book turned into a movie. Interestingly, we have experienced this aforementioned story as well as several other books from this author over the last decade. I’m looking forward to this new one, hoping it will jog my memory about the past reading experience with Jim Stovall.

A Christmas Snow Jim Stovall

For Kathleen, Christmas has always been an unwelcome reminder of her father’s abandonment almost three tumultuous decades ago. Although she has tried to forget her past, it has not forgotten her, and in the days leading up to Christmas, an unforgiving blizzard traps her in her home with two unlikely roommates who bring her face to face with the hurts of her past-and the hope of a happier future.

Will she let go of the past and grad hold of a future full of love and forgiveness? Or will she continue to be haunted by her pain as the snow storm of the century brings with it the hope of lasting joy?

Browsing the Amazon suggestion strips I was excited to see there was a new read from one of our favorite authors. It’s already added to my cache of books just in case. Don’t want to be distracted and forget. Oh, wait, Book 2 is also available as a good deal, too. I can’t pass this up.

Expired Return: A thrilling fire and rescue romantic suspense (Last Chance Fire and Rescue Book 1) 

This looks like a quote from the book.

Pepper stood up. “How dare you.” She could spit fire at him right now. She’d loved and supported Victory since the day she was born. “You know nothing about me.”

“What’s this?”

Pepper whirled around at that voice. Heart. Breaking. She loved that gruff, commanding voice more than anything else in the world.

He wore a look a lot like Aiden’s. Blank, which she knew—or hoped—had to do with protecting his heart because he still cared for her. Except he probably hated her.

Donaldson sat back in his chair. “Allen.”

Former police officer Allen Frees had both hands on the wheels of his chair. He wore a fire department uniform of slacks and a white shirt. Emblems. A badge. His life of service hadn’t ended when he landed in that chair after a building blew up over his head.

As far as she’d been able to tell, it barely slowed him down.

Expired Hope: A gripping fire and rescue romantic suspense (Last Chance Fire and Rescue Book 2)

She’s running to a fresh start…

Veteran and therapist Natalie Atkinson just wants to help heroes survive their past. But when she’s rescued from a fire…and falls for the one person she’s supposed to help…she could destroy both their futures.

It’s his last chance to get it right…

Fire Chief Macon James is the right man for the job–he just has to prove it to the counselor who is signing off on his team. What he doesn’t expect is to fall for her.

But danger is stalking her and someone is going to get hurt.

So, he’ll have to protect her, without crossing any lines. And she’ll have to make sure that she doesn’t get him killed.

This has been a very good day! I see Lynette Eason, another favorite author, has a few more books I don’t have but need to while the chance is here.

It is such a good day that there will need to be both part 1 and part 2 to this post. We will add one more to this batch first though or, heaven forbid, we might have to go to part 3. Restraint is clearly needed soon.

I haven’t read anything in this series that is next on today’s list of new books. I have read all 27 of her other downloads though. She has a lot of books to chose from and we will see more than this one before we are done today. I can hardly wait.

Christmas Cover-Up (Family Reunions Book 2)

A detective must find her missing sister with the help of a former agent from her troubled past in this wholesome holiday romantic thriller.

Seven-year-old Lucy Randall was kidnapped in broad daylight fourteen years ago. With little information to go on, the investigation went cold. Now Lucy’s sister, Detective Katie Randall, is determined to find the truth. But solving the case will require facing another demon from her past . . .

Former FBI Agent Jordan Grey knows that Katie isn’t to blame for his brother’s death—but the rest of his family still holds her responsible. When Katie comes to him for help, he agrees to help her find Lucy—even as he promises himself not to fall for the beautiful detective. As the holiday season approaches, Katie and Jordan get close to the truth. And Jordan will do anything to protect her from a deadly kidnapper . . .

Okay, on to part two. See you soon.
