Review / Release Blitz: December Midnights: A Holiday Novella by Victoria Wilder


Release Date: December 1

This is my December. I’m not being naive or overly optimistic. I have it on good authority that this year, I will meet my soulmate and fall madly in love. The matchmaker who raised me said that it’ll happen by this Winter’s Solstice. Merry Christmas to me, right?

Wrong.

Because the man who just slid into my kitchen at midnight, unarmed me with his charming smile, and lit me up while licking frosting from my fingers is the newest investor in The TimeKeeper Inn. Gray Turner, the disgraced professional baseball player, wants to renovate and take over the place I call home.

There’s no way that he could possibly be “the one,” even if I do happen to feel some kind of magic every time he’s near. I’ll ignore the fact that his gruff and stoic demeanor melts away only for me. I have to remind myself that I need to keep my heart open for my soulmate because Gray isn't staying. I want that forever kind of love. But what if forever isn’t part of our plan?

What if soulmate-level love is just for the holidays?

MY REVIEW

This December is Aurora's. It's the month she'll find her soulmate and fall madly in love. Her adoptive mother Tasha declared it, and she's the magical matchmaker in their town, so Aurora knows what's coming. But is her soulmate really the grumpy former baseball player that's come to town to "help" them with The TimeKeeper Inn? Well, she'll soon find out, and will have to figure out if soulmates can last if one of them up and leaves town.

Gray's come here to get away from all the bad press since his bad breakup. The last thing he expects is to meet his soulmate in this small, quirky town. He doesn't really believe in the concept of soulmates, does he? All he knows is Aurora is making him...feel...things. But he's just here waiting for his agent to call and tell him he's gotten him a break, that he can get back on the field. He can't upend his life just because he's so fascinated by this beautiful, bright light local. There's no reason for him to give up the only thing he knows is his - baseball - just for someone he never expected.


"It's not just my December. It's ours."

This is a magical holiday story. Aurora and Gray are such an opposites attract, sweet couple. She's the ray of sunshine to his "gray" grump. The one who believes - in magic, in soulmates, in matchmaking. He believes in, well, baseball. But in true magical fashion, they come together and let the season, the mystical, have their way with them, and I loved it, loved them. Holiday love stories should always be this sweet, spicy and magical.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
