Blurb
As the CEO of a major department store, I know firsthand that Christmas joy can be bought and sold just like anything else.
That's right. When it comes to the most wonderful time of the year, I’m a grinch in a penthouse.

But when a gorgeous, red-headed firefighter saves me from a heart attack with a kiss and a whispered plea, even I can’t begrudge her a simple favor - be her date at her younger brother’s holiday wedding.

Turns out, there’s nothing simple about it.

Suddenly, I’m ice skating on frozen ponds, baking cookies with her family, kissing under mistletoes, and finding a little fa-la-la in the season. I don’t even recognize myself.

Because she’s like the spirit of Christmas present, haunting my thoughts, sparking something in my cold heart, and making me crave things past-me would never have considered asking the big man in red for - a future.

Once upon a time, a scrooge like me vowed to transform. The only thing he didn’t get in the end was the girl. I’m determined that won’t happen to me.

It’s either give up my selfish ways or lose the love of a truly elf-ish woman.

L.B. Dunbar is back with another Holiday Hottie certain to heat the season and be your reason to fall in love this November. The fourth book among these Chicago firefighters can be read as a complete standalone, but we’re sure you’ll want to check out the rest of the department once you finish this one.

MY REVIEW

When Angelica saves Jude at his company's legendary store, it isn't just another day in the life of this millionaire. No, it sparks something in him, and now he's set off to not only find the angel whose voice he heard after his heart attack, he's determined to get his beautiful redheaded lifesaver to agree to a little fake dating arrangement this holiday season. He's not expecting to fall in love, doesn't even really know what that feels like, but if he can convince her he's not the Scrooge he was before, their fake dating has a chance of becoming real.


Angelica has always loved Ashford's, but she certainly didn't think she'd be here to save the life of the owner. He makes such an impression on her that she visits him in the hospital the next day and somehow ends up agreeing to a fake dating arrangement with him - she'll go on a date to convince his board he's changed, and he'll be her date to her brother's wedding, the wedding her brother has conned her into planning. The longer she's with him, the more she realizes how much baggage he has, what an awful childhood he had, and she hurts for him. But she can't fix him anymore than she can make him change. He has to do that for himself. With a little holiday magic, this Scrooge just might find his heart growing a size or two, and letting love in.


Elf-ish is an extra sweet with spice holiday romance. Jude has so hurt on the inside from his past, but Angelica is just the person to help him heal and set him on the path of change and healing. I hurt more than a little for him with each tiny detail of his past he let slip to her, but I smiled every time she made him smile, made him want to let go of that pain and become a better person. My holiday reading season just keeps getting better, more magical, and sweeter with every holiday story I devour. Jude and Angelica made my holiday mood even brighter and I won't forget them anytime soon.

Review Blitz: The Challenge by Penelope Ward

Title: The Challenge: A Single Dad Romance Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family Release Date: August 30, 2026 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance… Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl. Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
