Enjoy the Half-Moon Hollow Christmas novella, ‘m Dreaming of an Undead Christmasby Molly Harper from Audible.com – for free! I really love this author’s humorous (and ever so slightly snarky take) on all things paranormal in her Jane Jameson, Half Moon Hollow, and Naked Werewolf series – and thought you might enjoy this holiday gift from her.
It’s Christmas in Half-Moon Hollow and newly turned vampire Iris Scanlon-Calix wants to make Gigi’s first visit home from college as normal and special as possible. It’s taken months for Iris to work up the nerve to spend time around her baby sister after her vampire transition, so she enlists help from Jane Jameson and Company to keep her blood-thirst under control and assure Gigi’s safety. Gigi, on the other hand, has problems of her own, including the demise of her relationship with high school sweetheart, Ben, and a looming job interview with Ophelia Lambert, the scariest potential employer in the Hollow. And then there’s the small matter of the handsome, frustrating vampire who keeps appearing in Gigi’s peripheral vision, then disappearing before she can talk to him. Can the Scanlon sisters negotiate romantic problems, vampire politics, and Christmas cookie disasters and enjoy a relatively normal holiday?
M. Malone has a very special present for all her readers. That’s right, she’s written a holiday novella and is is giving it to all of you for FREE! Christmas with The Alexanders is a really nice read, and falls just after book three in her The Alexanders series. However it’s not a stand-alone story, so you really should read the rest of the books too (and Teasing Trent, the series prequel is offered free right now too (click on link, or download Surrender collection below). So Merry Christmas a little early from bestselling author, M (Minx) Malone. Here’s my review of the series.
Kaylee Wilhelm knows what she wants for Christmas–for Elliott Alexander to notice her. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like her much, so she’s spending the holidays with her disapproving parents.
Elliott Alexander is finally in the position to come home for good. Home means bittersweet memories and the only woman who makes him feel things he isn’t ready for.
When Kay’s car skids out of control on Christmas Eve, she’s forced to reach out to the only man she trusts to save her. Eli’s a protector, so she knows he’ll come for her, but this Christmas Kay is hoping for a little bit more.
Jingle This! by four-time RITA® Award nominee and Golden Heart® Award winner Stephanie Rowe was, according to the author’s note, a short novel that was originally published 2004 in mass market paperback by Dorchester Publishing as part of the holiday anthology Shop ’til Yule Drop. It has been substantially revised and expanded. It is approximately 180 pages in length.
Love. Diamonds. Mistletoe. And a one-on-one holiday assignment with a very sexy boss. Put it all together, and it’s enough to ruin a girl’s day.
Angie Miller has to write sizzling, evocative, heart-melting holiday stories about love, romance and diamonds for her company’s newest client…an assignment that isn’t so easy when she’s just had her heart broken. When her first not-so-cheery story nearly gets her company fired, her boss Kyle Black makes it his personal mission to get Angie in the right mood to wax poetic about love and romance. The fact that there’s three years’ worth of unrequited sexual tension simmering between them? It just makes it all the more interesting when Kyle shows up in her office with his oh-so-broad shoulders, smoldering smile and…oh, yeah… his slightly autocratic ways… How is Angie supposed to find her muse again when Kyle keeps trying to have his way with her?
All I Want for Christmas is You (Fate with a Helping Hand) by Lisa Mondello is a sweet contemporary holiday romance. I read it last year and had to grab a few Kleenexes. It’s the first book in Mondello’s, Fate with a Helping Hand, eeries and is offered for FREE right now.
Sometimes fate needs a little hand…Santa Claus is going to have a rough season… Lauren Alexander is raising her daughter alone. Abandoned by her family for her decision to keep her daughter Kristen, she has done a pretty good job for the last six years. Or she thought she had. That’s why she is crushed when little Kristen gives up her wish for a toy or goodie and instead asks Santa for a present for her mother. She wants Santa to bring a Daddy. Delivering Daddies isn’t Santa’s bag.
But this Santa has a plan…Kyle Preston knows what it is like to be abandoned too. Luckily he found the support of loving adoptive parents and has turned himself into one of the most successful Real Estate developers in town.
Building a house is easy. Building someone’s trust is a whole other story. But with a little helping hand, a little Christmas magic can make all the difference in the world.

Daniel busily runs a betting ring for everything from the hour Eleanor’s baby will arrive, to whether Mac’s former-pugilist valet can win a boxing match.

All the while, the entire town is wondering one thing: who is the Secret Santa that showed up with special gifts for everyone?
I read this holiday novella, Bah, Humbug! (A Christmas Street Romantic Comedy Novella), last year and just found it a tremendous amount of fun. It was the first book, but not the last, book I read by Heather Horrocks and I do recommend it this holiday season to you!
Lexi Anderson is an up-and-coming, Martha Stewart-type TV hostess whose two kids love the Jared Strong adventure novels, which happen to be written by their new neighbor, Kyle Miller.
For the first time in his writing career, Kyle has writer’s block–until he sees the snowman on his lawn and realizes it’s the perfect solution to his plot problem. He digs in and discovers two things: one, his villain’s weapon will fit inside a snowman’s body, and two, this particular snowman was supposed to be the backdrop for Lexi’s next show.
From this improbable beginning comes friendship, but can there be a happy ending for a woman who is afraid to get close again and a man who has shadows from his childhood?
Families join together and hearts are healed as this couple goes walking in a winter wonderland.

QUEEN OF HEARTS BY JULIET BLACKWELLSerafina Rogers is not an impulsive person, but lately something’s gotten into her.

Unfortunately, her hunky cowboy landlord, Joe, has other plans for the space, which hasn’t turned a profit in years. Neither Joe nor Serafina believe in magic, much less romance. But when a Yule log is tossed on the fire, Serafina begins seeing things in her aunt’s deck of cards, and Joe’s niece goes missing…they might just have to change their minds.
THE HOLIDAY SHOW BY LGC SMITHChristy Monroe hates Christmas. The excess, the inevitable disappointments–bah. Dan Rose loves Christmas.

SECOND CHANCES BY ADRIENNE BELLThere’s no doubt in Eileen Ledger’s mind that the last time she saw hockey superstar Paul McAlester she made the biggest mistake of her life.

This holiday collection, Christmas Heroes, of five novels by Regan Black, Kathy Carmichael, Rita Herron, Vicki Hinze, and Peggy Webb looks really interesting. I haven’t yet read it, but do plan to and thought you all might enjoy having some more alpha heroes under your Christmas tree too!
DUPLICITY By Vicki HinzeCareer military attorney, Captain Tracy Keener is ordered to defend Captain Adam Burke, a Special Operations officer who caused the deaths of his entire team. Everyone knows he’s guilty and defending him will cost Tracy her career, but she has no choice.
Captain Burke swears he acted under orders. Swears things that can’t possibly be true: breaches requiring corruption at the highest levels, the deliberate sacrifice of an entire military team.
Under orders and then threats to drop the case and let Burke go down, Tracy and Adam are targeted for assassination. To their horror, they discover others too are marked for death. To succeed, Tracy and Adam must risk more than their lives–they must risk their hearts.
SAFE WITH HIM by Rita HerronAll Kaylie Whittaker wanted for Christmas was to protect her daughter from the madman who killed her husband…
All five-year-old CeCe Whittaker wanted was to have a real home for the holidays…
All Texas Ranger Sergeant Mitch Manning wanted was to drown his sorrows in a bottle. Then Kaylie and CeCe snuck into his abandoned ranch house, looking terrified and obviously on the run, and his detective instincts surged to life. But he’d lost one family because of his job, and he refused to make room for this woman and her little girl in his heart.
Still, he was a Texas Ranger and he would protect them or die trying…
TAMING MAGGIE by Peggy WebbIt’s Christmas, and Maggie Merriweather had rather be naughty than nice.
When this feisty grade school teacher sets out to foil opening day of duck season, Maggie never expects to lock horns with Tupelo’s bad boy banker, Adam Trent, let alone feel the urge to rip his shirt off! Can she save the ducks without losing herself?
Adam vows to subdue the spirited crusader. But when a snowstorm strands them, he discovers he’d rather woo than subdue. Can two people whose principles are poles apart ever turn Christmas bells into wedding bells?

The boredom is overwhelming until the one woman he cannot forget, shows up in a place she should never be.
A supernatural healer, Mira escapes a trial of her peers only to be sent on an impossible mission: Rescue her scientist father from a madman who’s using him to create bio-weapons. But she’s no spy. On her own, with no real clues, she isn’t sure where to turn.
Forced together by circumstance, Mira and Jameson enter an adventure that will push them to their limits – and quite possibly beyond.

I fell in love with Jessica Scott’s Coming Home military romance series immediately upon reading the first book. This season she’s given us all a very special gift with the holiday novella, I’ll Be Home For Christmas (book 2.6), story of jokester Vic and his every so sexy wife Nicole. Scott’s depiction of their life together and apart while Vic is on deployment is engrossing. Beware this is another five Kleenex read as Scott manages to draw you in and wrap your heart and soul around her characters and their lives together. Anything For You: A Coming Home Short Story (book 2.6) is also offered at $0.99 if you’d like to build your Jessica Scott library. Read my review.
There’s nothing in the world Army Sergeant Vic Carponti loves more than his wife and his country. Smart-mouthed and easy tempered, he takes everything as a joke . . . except his promise to come home to his wife, Nicole, for Christmas. As he prepares to leave for his latest deployment into Iraq, Vic will do everything he can to shield his beautiful, supportive wife from the realities of war . . . and from his own darkest fears.
As a career army wife, Nicole Carponti knows just what to expect from her husband’s tour of duty: loneliness, relentless worry, and a seemingly endless countdown until the moment Vic walks through the door again. But when the unthinkable happens, Nicole and Vic’s bond is tested like never before and changes everything they believe to be true about the power of love and the simple beauty of being home for the holidays.
Kat Bastion’s Bound by Wish and Mistletoe (Highland Legends, Book 1.5) is a wonderful addition to your holiday must-read list and is a continuation of Bastion’s Highland Pleasures series (book one: Forged in Dreams and Magick). Featuring alpha Highlander heroes in kilts, spunky heroines, a little magic and time travel, as well as perhaps the first indoor Christmas tree this is a really fun book to read. Bastion keeps the pages turning with a plot that is fascinating. Although she describes this as a novella, at almost 200 pages, I’d say it was definitely novel length. Here’s my review.
Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. Ever.
Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan’s elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. Forever.
When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other’s arms.
Amid a whirlwind of escalating events, Susanna’s traumatic past threatens Robert’s ability to protect the one woman meant for him. In a harrowing moment, as her fears and demons coalesce, will hope, faith, and love be enough to save them?

But it’s the newest title in the series that I’m talking about here. If you fell in love with Dane in the first book DANE, you’ll want to read A Christmas Wish: Dane as it picks up his story in a holiday novella that is Liliana Hart’s gift to her readers who wanted to know more about him!
Dane MacKenzie has made mistakes, but despite them all, he’s reconnected with the woman he’s always loved and the son he never knew he had. But things haven’t gone the way he hoped. Charlotte still hasn’t set a wedding date, and he’s a stranger to his son. The only thing Dane wants for Christmas is for them to be a real family.
A carefully planned seduction, an old legend, and a family that never gives up on each other will give Dane the chance to get his Christmas wish.
Some Enchanted Season by Marilyn Pappano is a romance that will inspire you with the hope of the holidays – no matter how bleak a situation appears to be. I read this last year and remember tears starting to fall as Maggie’s memory begins to return.
Sometimes miracles do happen. When Maggie left her husband Ross that fateful Christmas Eve, their marriage was over. But a near fatal accident on an ice-slick road changed everything. Now another Christmas approaches. While Maggie hasn’t regained all her memory, she’s ready to test her strength at home–with Ross as her only companion. Sharing a house with him once more, putting on the best face for their neighbors, Maggie knows she’s living a lie. Then she glimpses Ross as he used to be: playful and passionate, the man of her dreams before ambition changed him. She couldn’t know he’s feeling the same regrets, the same heartache…or that he fears the return of her memory. What will happen when she remembers the reason she fled from him last year? It will take a miracle to send the walls of anger and secrecy tumbling down and reunite the divided couple. But in the small town of Bethlehem, miracles do happen….
I really love Katie Reus‘ romantic suspense series, Red Stone Security, so was quite happy to see that she’s offering book 4.5, a holiday novella, for just 0.99. If you haven’t read the series yet, this will definitely provide the temptation to add them all to you e-reader. Reus’ heroes are ALL very sexy alphas and I particularly love the heroine in this one, coffee shop owner Noel. So enjoy some holiday romance in Miami in this fun read, Miami, Mistletoe & Murder (Red Stone Security, book 4.5). Here’s my review.
Fierce and sexy, former Marine Travis Sanchez has always held himself back from the rest of the world, using his tattoos and piercings as armor. But when the woman he’s wanted for months is threatened, he knows it’s time to strip away the bad boy image and show her just how much he wants to be with her. As one of Red Stone Security’s best contractors, Travis is trained for almost any situation. But nothing prepares him for the most dangerous threat of all: the one to his heart.
Kind-hearted Noel Baskov’s only wish for the holidays is that her Miami coffee shop has a successful Christmas season. But her focus on work is interrupted when the family of the young girl she mentors is threatened, and the man she’s been lusting after for months steps in to handle it. Unfortunately the danger is far from over. Can this sexy and mysterious warrior protect Noel or will he be the one to shatter her heart?
Warning: features a heroine determined to fight for those she cares about, a protective hero with a very interesting piercing, and some holiday magic.

Cynthia Eden‘s holiday novella A Vampire’s Christmas Carol is a wonderful retelling of Dickens’ story – with the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future portrayed by a demon, angel (or is she?), and shifter. Here’s my review.
It’s time for a dark and sexy take on a classic holiday tale…
New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden heats up the holidays with…A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL.
This holiday season has bite.
Ben Prescott hates Christmas–he’s a vampire, and to him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.
But fate has other plans for Ben.
Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can’t be saved by anyone or anything.
‘Tis the season…to be undead.
Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost–Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben’s arms…
Now, Ben will do anything necessary in order to possess Simone once
again. He won’t lose her. Even if he has to fight heaven and hell.

Is this a second chance at first love?
Years later, Suzanne is dreading her first Christmas without her father. The heartbreak Leo caused when he left seven years ago is a distant memory. And she prefers to keep it that way.

Worse, the now celebrated libertine is even more devastating to a woman’s senses than ever before…
Or are they playing with fire?
The only woman Leo, Duke of Mont-Marly, has ever yearned for is the adorably unconventional, intelligent beauty who got away. He discovers Suzanne creating and selling matchsticks, elixirs for the ill…and is still so damned alluring. Leo is determined to show her the depth of his desire, win back Suzanne’s heart. And give her a Christmas beyond her wildest imagination…

This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead . . . with stories in Holidays Are Hell by Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Marjorie M. Liu, Vicki Pettersson.
There’s no place like home for the horrordays—unless you’d prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard . . . or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here—and whether it’s a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year’s with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!
