A Star-Crossed Christmas by V.L. Locey
Very sweet story of second chances and taking a childhood friendship to another level. I've not read the series this book is attached to but it had no impact on my enjoyment.


Dallas Christmas by RJ Scott - Lovely second chance romance. This one made me tear up at times.

Holding On Tight by Susan Scott Shelley - Established couple celebrating their first Christmas together and everything goes wrong. No need to have read their previous story (although I'm curious enough to consider picking it up). Slightly angsty with a HEA.

Review for When Love Blooms by Melanie Moreland (ARC)
Sometimes love comes around and slowly creeps into your life. Other times it hits you over the head like a lead crystal vase. Since my real life version of love reflects the second part, I always find a kindred spirit in the storyline. That passion that you just instantly connect - your soul has found it's forever place.

For Ethan, he found his forever on the way to apologize. Multiple times. I love both characters. You get Ethan's stunned disbelief that he is now become impulsive. And Lily is just graceful and open - like she knew Ethan was coming just had to wait for him to finally show up.

I am a big fan of Melanie's storytelling. She gives you characters that you understand and don't feel like you are surface skimming regardless of the word count. You get what you expect, love, laughter and a definite happily ever after. 5 out of 5 stars for this story.

Disclaimer: As I have the opportunity to read more of stories, I'll amend the review. However, based on this one sample, if this is what the readers are in store for, the price of admission is well worth it for a very deserving charity.
