A Very Wellington Christmas by Annalisa Nicole @AnnalisaNicole4

Some stories hit you right when you need it. Love is not just a feeling ..it's a living thing. Sometime love can hurt. We lose people we love and that pain is just so deep that we can shut down. Or people we love hurt us and it's so hard to trust. What happened to Levi would break the hardest and toughest person. Quinn was stubborn and saw through his pain to the sweetest heart inside. I believe love is something that heals and strengthens and that's what was found in this heartwarming story. Healing and strength from a new love and also from a family who takes you in and keeps you. I pray this year everyone I love has people like the Wellington family to support them. I also pray we spread some of that love around because you never know when that reaching hand might bring someone out of the darkness.  Annalisa Nicole writes exactly the perfect medicine for battered hearts. Love stories with healing messages you just feel straight to your soul.

Covert Exposure, A Nick Spinelli Mystery (Book 1) by Valerie J. Clarizio - @VClarizio

This was such a sweet and sexy mystery. I love romantic suspense and Nick Spinelli this gruff but protective and most of all sexy detective has stolen my heart. I found I was flipping the pages and didn't want to put this adorable humorous holiday suspense down. Shannon threw Nick for a loop ..he hadn't ever come across a  woman that didn't fall for him right away and also a woman that took his breath away. The fireworks were popping as the love/hate relationship grew in the mist of a gripping murder mystery. I adored this hero and he totally won me over with one statement.    I will never think of kissing Santa again in the same way either. I look forward to continuing this feel good series for sure!

It's a Wonderful Fireman (The Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel #6.5) by Jennifer Bernard - @Jen_Bernard

Ok so blown away right now. I haven't read a book that left such amazing joy in my heart like this in so long. Such feel good messages all the way throughout this heartwarming holiday read. I laughed, cried and swooned. Then just enough steam to have me warm all over.    Dean Mulligan had a hard beginning to his life that left him a little bitter on the inside. His past broke my heart so bad. But Lizzie was someone that started knocking down his walls and that scared him just a tad. She had her own battles that she fought hard to get past. Trying to push her away didn't work out like he thought. Lizzie was so full of life and love she wasn't gonna give up on Mulligan and then one moment changed everything. One fire for a fireman can be the fire that can change his life. Some adorable antics from "ghosts of past and the present" made this one extraordinary emotional read. A sweet holiday story that would warm the hardest of hearts will be found in this amazing novella. I honestly was left with so much hope and happiness in my heart I want to beg everybody to give it a try. I know I'm about to read every book in this series and I want the first book in the next series like NOW after all the hero is named Caleb HART .. :)
