Christmas on Catalina Island—it’s just
what the doctor ordered.
Injured in the line of duty, FBI Special
Agent Shane Donovan is longing for a few days of peace and quiet. Some nice
meals, a couple of good books, and maybe a bottle of the best. No family, no
friends, no fa la la la la…just a
little time on his own to think things through.
But an offshore storm, a geriatric
treasure hunter, and the guy who dumped him without a word two years earlier
are about to unwrap all Shane’s carefully laid holiday plans.
I like Christmas or holiday stories. I've been doing one every year for the last...what? Six years? They're just a bit of holiday sweetness. No murder, no mayhem. Well...actually sometimes there is a bit of mayhem. But all my Christmas stories are pretty much the same thing -- someone you love pushes you into a snowbank and then jumps in after you to deliver warm hugs and a frosty nuzzle or two. That's it. That's the perfect Christmas story right there. ;-)
You can buy A CASE OF CHRISTMAS at Amazon or All Romance Ebooks. Unfortunately everywhere else it will not be out until the 24th of December--this has to do with a most unfortunate design flaw in the Smashwords preorder system (which is what I use to channel through for B&N, Kobo, Apple, etc.)
Soooooooooooo....
Enjoy!
All your Christmas stories become comfort reads for me, so I know I will love A Case of Christmas... As I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to see it on my kindle last night! I'm about 70% through. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteI'll try and sneak read the rest in between appointments today. :-)
Had to sit with a greyhound waking up from anesthesia. Decided to read at the same time. I'm a happy camper. :-)
DeleteLove, love, love, this story! It has just the right amount of everything that makes it such a wonderful read for me.
ReplyDeleteI pre-ordered and it's on my Kindle now! Looking forward to reading soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to wait for December 24th then. :'(
ReplyDeleteI prefer to keep my ebooks on the same platform, but it'll be a nice Christmas gift to myself. :D
It is a lovely Christmas story, with lots of frosty (or not so frosty) nuzzles. I've already read it twice. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI need to read it again to savor it. I'm one of those that cancelled my Amazon preorder and got from All Romance because I couldn't wait a few days. :) No regrets. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a good story. I read it tonight again.
ReplyDeleteShane and Norton a both great characters, I would love to hear about the two again. Thank you!
Read it at 4:00 a.m. when I happened to wake up and found it on my Kindle. It's a very sweet story.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I was so happily surprised when this appeared on my kindle this morning...already read it (shh...don't tell my colleagues) and it was perfect. Warm, cozy, feel good Christmas story. I love how fully fleshed out your characters are, even in such as short story. Thank you for such a wonderful treat!
ReplyDeleteYay for a Christmas special! Thanks, I'm a sucker for these! :)
ReplyDeleteFinished it this morning before work. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy when I got the notification from ARe that this was available. Bought it and started reading right away. It's such a sweet story. I didn't want to put it down. I love how you can create characters that are easy to care about in such a short story. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a little more from Shane and Norton later on. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful story! I read it last night beneath the duvet :)
ReplyDeleteLovely story! I unfortunately couldn't read it all last night because I had to celebrate my sister's birthday. All night long I kept thinking, "are we done yet?" I know; that's bad, isn't it? Well, I never claimed I wasnt a little socially challenged. I stayed up as late as I could, but finished reading it this morning...and was late to work. SOOO worth it. Lol. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this. I'd love to see more from Shane and Linus someday. (And Shy and Syd! I love meddling families!)
