AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT & REview - Jill Shalvis

Good afternoon, friends.

I get a later start to my day when Bob is home. Once we wake up in the morning, we sit and enjoy coffee and each other's company until after we've eaten a light breakfast - somewhere around 10:30 - before starting our individual days.

This morning, my individual project was all about moving 105 roma tomato plants to a new watering station before the temps became too HOT to want to be outside. So here I am.


Today, I'm shining the spotlight on NY Times Bestselling author, Jill Shalvis.  I checked my shelves and I believe the only books I have by her are all Christmas books so I wasn't surprised when I snatched up this anthology of three of her Christmas novellas on Netgalley.

Before we get into the review, let's find out a bit about Jill:

Multiple New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis lives in a small town in the Sierras full of quirky characters. Any resemblance to the quirky characters in her books is … mostly coincidental. Look for Jill’s bestselling, award-winning heartwarming and full of humor novels wherever books are sold and visit her website for a complete book list and daily blog detailing her city-girl-living-in-the-mountains adventures. 




If you've not read one of Jill Shalvis' books in awhile (or perish the thought - ever!), plan to grab this appetizer. HOLIDAY EVER AFTER will release October 26th. 

Holiday Ever After is a trio of previously released Christmas novellas tied up in one neat little gift for your reading pleasure... and I enjoyed every one.

One Snowy Night is all about the past coming together for two High School classmates who'd each gone their separate ways due to a combination of circumstance. Hunky Max Stranton always thought Rory Andrews was the key to his scholarship demise yet he never stopped thinking about her and now she has blossomed from the meek lab partner into a beautiful woman he feels the need to protect.
Rory wants to dislike Max, but he is her best option for proving to her family she isn't a flake. She needs his ride to Tahoe. Blinding snowstorm, dead truck battery and closed roads have them spending the night together. These two could melt any snow bank without touching one another! Add in a huge, loveable canine and this first story is a winner!

There's something about 'second chances'. I love them and it's why I write them so I knew I was in for a treat with Holiday Wishes. 
Sean O'Riley and Lotti Hartford have a past, one Sean thought he could leave there until Lotti shows up where his brother's bachelor weekend is being held.  It's true, you never forget who you lose your virginity to... and some things, as well as people, are meant to be a part of your life forever. 

What do you do when you go on the annual joint family holiday vacay with the guy you once did the jingle bell rock with only to find out - you're the only two on the yacht on the high seas... for days?! Close quarters is the perfect opportunity to find that love truly is sweeter the second time around in Mistletoe in Paradise.

Hallmark isn't the only place for me to enjoy a little Christmas in July! I loved getting into the Holiday spirit without being choked in Christmas tinsel. I'm giving Holiday Ever After:
