Just as I like to indulge in a few sugary Christmas cookies during the holidays, I also like to read a few comforting Christmas romances.

Rebellious Rory ran away to San Francisco to make a…
Ahh… it’s Christmas romance time again. I have a real soft spot for holiday romances, and Christmas in Paris is a modern-day fairytale. Its best moments are achingly romantic and I would have loved sinking into this book if only the story were constructed a little more solidly. American Isabel Lawson had planned the perfect…

This book tells the tale of Katie Cheek and Ryder Southerland, both natives of the small town who have known each other all their lives. For Katie, there’s been an element of torture to their friendship as she’s loved Ryder…
