SKATING AT SOMERSET HOUSE by Nikki Moore

This was a fun and sweet novella. It makes me think of a modern day "The Night Before Christmas" story, minus the Ba Ham-buging.

Holly Winterlake is having the most wonderful day on the most wonderful time of the year. Holly loves Christmas and every thing that goes with it.

The best part (for her anyway) is getting to skate on ice again. So getting the job as Ice Marshall at London's Somerset House is a dream come true.

Noel Summerford gets grumpy around the Christmas Holidays. Falling on his butt multiple times in the freezing snow does not help his mood.

Having promised to bring his Godson to skate on the, was not exactly his idea of fun. But seeing the ecstatic look on his Godson's face was well worth the torture.

Things take an interesting turn when he is approached by the sexy Ice Marshall who is interested in giving his Godson some extra skating lessons, since he seems to be a natural on the ice.

Not wanting to disappoint the kid, but also having to keep a promise to his Godson's father, Noel has to decline the offer. But that does not stop him from wanting to know more about Holly.

Things seem to go up and down with them but when an accident on the ice, booze and a mad chocolate Labrador get involved, things get enthralling. Find out the exciting conclusion to Skating at Somerset House.

Nikki Moore wrote a cute novella that had me going awwwwww. Noel and Holly were meant for each other and that is just judging by their names alone, there both Christmas themed. I don't have much to say because the book was too short for my liking, but good things, very good things happened in this book.

I always love books that involve kids, they just bring an innocence to books, which I love. Kids and animals always do that, and this book had both, even if the animal came in at the end of the book. Noel was all Scrudge McDuck and Holly was close to being Sponge Bobb (don't know much people who are happy all the time).

I know this book is late or early, if you think about it, but you cannot go wrong with it.

HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face. Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it. Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting. Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out. Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
