REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Her Christmas Wish

 Good morning, readers!

This is our final #ChristmasInJuly read. Have you been picking up the books in some form and enjoying the cooling summer reads? I hope so.

This week we read HER CHRISTMAS WISH by Mitzi Fine. 

AMAZON

I met Mitzi several years ago at the last Romance Readers Convention. I'm so glad I went. I always said if I published a book then I'd spend the money. I didn't realize at the time that would be my final opportunity. Don't put off doing something you really want to do lest the chance pass you by.

Okay.. the important stuff:

BLURB:

A lonely young woman

A handsome rancher

And a wish...

All alone after her aunt passes, Avery Davenport leaves Texas for Wild Rose Ridge, Washington. Her uncle promised to rent her a tiny cabin on his property, and she plans to take him up on it. She also plans to give him a piece of her mind once she gets there. He didn't so much as call her back after she left him a message about his ex-wife's passing. Worse, he didn't even show up for the funeral. When she finally gets to his ranch outside of Wild Rose Ridge, she finds the cabin a mess, and is shocked when a handsome rancher finds her in the shower!

Hudson Weaver bought a ranch complete with sixty acres, a big red barn, and a woman he discovers in the tiny cabin at the back of the property! No one told him there was a renter! But Avery Davenport is in a bad way. She's grieving over the loss of her aunt, and came to Wild Rose Ridge to rent the cabin from her uncle, who no one has seen for weeks. It's as if the man has disappeared off the face of the planet. Can Hudson help Avery find him? More importantly, can he do it without losing his heart to the grieving young woman? Find out in this sweet, small town holiday romance!

My, my, my! Mitzi Fine knows how to melt the snow (in a sweet way). Between Hudson the strong, hot cowboy, Avery the damsel in distress and a missing uncle there is everything to love about this story. One thing I can always count on from Mitzi's books is that she brings everything to a cohesive conclusion and in this case, tied up in a pretty Christmas bow! I think for Hudson he fell hard at first sight. But you know cowboys (or men in general) sometimes things just take them a little while. Then there's Avery. She needed a friend and what better husband material than a friend. I know, I married mine. ;-) While this was book six in the series, I think I need to go back and pick up the previous 5 to see how we got to here. Come along with me to Wild Rose Ridge. Here are the links to Books 1 - 5. Just click on the title.

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Mitzi Fine

  Good morning, everyone!

This week, I'm introducing you to someone 'new'.  

I say new because while the author name is new, I've featured one of her other pseudonym in previous blog posts. I also featured her in January of 2014 when I reviewed Love In Marigold - Book 1 in the Marigold books. I love her style.

BIO:

Mitzi Fine loves writing women's fiction and small town romance stories that touch the heart. Her wholesome stories depict a strong sense of family and community and have no shortage of humor! She loves adding a bit of mystery to her books, and why not? She was raised by a homicide detective! Enjoy her sweet romances and women's fiction books about life, love, and women of a certain age trying to reshape their lives and discover love again.

When not writing Mitzi enjoys traveling, eating chocolate, and driving her family a little crazy with all the stories in her head just waiting to get out. She resides in the Pacific Northwest where many of her stories are set.

WEDNESDAY REVIEW - Swimming In Moonlight

Good morning, everyone!

AMAZON

I am excited to share a 'new' author with you this week. Actually, Mitzi Fine has been writing books under Kit Morgan for several years. She also has the Wild Rose Ridge series which has seven books so far and last fall she released a Christmas book - Her Christmas Wish - as part of that series.  

If you want to be a successful author, this is one gal to follow. She knows what she's doing!

Here's a bit about Mitzi Fine:

On to today's review:

BLURB:

Two Single Parents

A Cranky Grandmother

And a Heart-wrenching Secret...

 Single mother Cami James didn’t have much. What she did have was a lazy brother who thought she was his personal slave. So when her uncle dies and leaves her his duplex in her hometown of Marigold, Oregon, she jumps to collect her inheritance and get away from her brother. There was just one problem…

Alex Wolfe came to Marigold with his five-year old twins to start fresh. For one, the town was charming, and his grandmother lived there. And two? He never forgot the magical summer he’d spent with Cami James. But that summer was cut short when his grandmother sent him back to England, telling him Cami was with another man and had moved on. In fact, she’d not only moved on, she moved out of Marigold! Heartbroken he moved on too and wound up in a nightmare relationship. When Alex runs into Cami in Marigold, he can’t believe it! Could this mean a second chance at love? Or will a secret tear them apart for good? Find out in this heartwarming second chance romance!

Wow!  

Most of you know that Second Chance love stories are what I write. Whether the main characters are reuniting after a period of separation for one reason or another, OR they are just taking a second chance at love with someone new, these story lines have my heart.  You could say I cut my romance teeth on Second Chance Romances.

SWIMMING IN MOONLIGHT is Book 1 in the Love In Marigold series. Very seldom do I get in on the ground floor of a series. I'm usually picking up a book in the middle then going back to catch up. Last Wednesday's book, for example.  Dropping into the middle of a series is fine when the books can stand alone, which is the case with Swimming In Moonlight. 

I loved how Mitzi found the title in her story (or maybe vice versa) by incorporating a memory from the hero's point of view. Swimming in the moonlight was a beautiful memory from Alex's past with Cami. 

There are a couple of bumps in their reunion that will make you want to throttle other people, but there is one cranky old lady you'll come to love. Grandma D grew up in another time... a time that molded her way of thinking. But she's smart and she learns to let go without losing who she is.

I'm anxious for Book 2 and once you read SWIMMING IN MOONLIGHT and visit the small town of Marigold, I think you will be too.
