Good morning, friends!
I have a fun book for you today. I have featured Beth Carter a couple of times over the past couple of years. This week, we are taking a look at her newest Christmas book, SANTA BABY.
Unlucky in love and estranged from her mother, Bree Woods has nearly given up on having a picket fence love story. She makes no apologies for enjoying her slightly embarrassing fast-food job but worries her boyfriend of two years might be cheating. After Bree discovers her intuition about her relationship is correct, she uncharacteristically heads to the nearest bar to drown her sorrows when her life takes a dramatic turn.
Handsome Anderson Bradley goes to Bottoms Up on Fridays when he isn’t on call. Successful and highly sought after, Anderson enjoys his well-planned life and unwinding at the end of the week. When he spots a woeful young woman at the bar alone, Anderson makes easy conversation. Both single, they decide to have a one-time, mysterious evening by not exchanging last names, nor professions. Neither expects anything more from this chance encounter, but Old Saint Nick might have other plans.
Nine months later, Bree finds
herself in a hospital delivery room alone. Will this be a Christmas miracle or
a holiday disaster? What was Santa thinking?
When I got near the end of the book, I texted Beth and asked how I was supposed to finish the book if I couldn't see through tears?!
Normally, I'm not a fan of we're in this moment, then we're in the future (current). Most others make that pulp fiction scenario very confusing. Not Beth Carther. Partially, because she only uses it as a set up then we're on the main road to happy ever after.
Bree represents a lot of young girls thinking they've found the love of their life, even though things don't feel right. How do you walk away from someone you thing is 'the one'? Well, Connor made the decision for her, for both of them. Connor is such a cad, his name didn't even bear mentioning in the blurb. Now that's how you kick a guy to the curb!
Then there's Dr. Anderson Bradley. Every woman in that hospital wants him, yet he can't forget the one night stand. Apparently, all other women pale in comparison to Bree.
I found Santa Baby to be a delightful, easy read. No real stumbling blocks to distract from the 'will they, won't they' course of things. This was a great quick read you can squeeze in to your holiday festivities. Take some time for yourself and curl up with this one.
You can check out Beth's other books by going to her Amazon Page. You'll find all of her links by checking out yesterday's Author Spotlight blog post.
I'm giving SANTA BABY...
All my best!
