Just a Little Christmas (A Cowboy Christmas #3) by Janet Dailey


Just a Little ChristmasJust a Little Christmas by Janet Dailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just a Little Christmas by Janet Dailey is a clean, contemporary, second-chance, cowboy romance set in a small town. I loved the warmth and sense of family as much as the storyline. The main characters Elle and Jubal are likeable characters with plenty of depth due to their backstories and their past relationship with one another. The supporting cast of family, friends, pets, and antagonists push the plot along and enhance the story.



Ellie Marsden couldn't wait to shake the dust of Branding Iron, Texas, off her heels and chase after bright lights, big city, and a wealthy husband. Now she's come home, divorced, a little disillusioned, and a whole lot pregnant. Leave it to her one-time high school sweetheart, cattle rancher Jubal McFarland, to point out that citified Ellie is as out of place in small-town Texas as her teacup poodle. So why is there something about being back--and being with Jubal--that feels surprisingly right?

Jubal's eight-year-old daughter, Gracie, needs a mother, but he hasn't found the perfect woman. Or maybe the problem is that he did find her, and had his heart broken when she left town. Gracie's already falling hard for Ellie and that ball of fluff she calls a dog. And no matter how hard the rugged cowboy tries to resist, there's no denying the appeal of first love and sweet new beginnings--especially when there's a little Christmas magic in the air . . .

Scorched (Feverish #2) by Jade C. Jamison





When you play with the Devil, you’re going to get burned.
When Sam Archer, bad boy rock star, decides to move out of the city and do some soul searching, the last thing he expects to find is his new neighbor Gracelyn Ward.  She’s everything he’s not—19 years old, religious, and an obedient child—but he finds himself falling for her anyway.
Gracelyn Ward has always had a crush on Sam—who hasn’t?  But she never thought he would be moving next door to her family and end up being so…likeable.  Sam is everything Gracelyn’s parents never wanted for her, not to mention that he’s over 30.  Despite her better judgment, it’s not long before she’s falling in love and beginning to question everything she’s ever held dear in her life.
When her parents give an ultimatum, Grace and Sam are torn between desire and obligation.  Will they succumb to the fire or will they get scorched by the flames?

Excerpt
“You have a great singing voice, did you know that?”
Sudden crippling shyness grabbed her around the heart as it started pounding hard, but she forced herself to swallow. What she thought was happening wasn’t really happening, was it?
She felt herself titter, unable—maybe even unwilling—to believe it. “Nah. I’m just acting. See, that’s the cool thing about actors—”
But then Sam’s face was right in front of hers and there was no denying what was going on. “You are adorable.”
Adorable? She got ready to retort, to ask him if he meant like a kitten, but his lips brushed against hers and any and all thought escaped her head. The only thing there was the leftover melody of GNR floating around her brain pan, but the rest of her was thoughtless…
And focused.
Her heart felt like it had jumped in her chest as she felt tiny snowflakes hitting her cheeks, making Sam’s lips feel so warm, they were almost hot. It was just a small, slow feathering touch against hers, enough that she could even pretend it wasn’t happening, but her lips parted in response.
