A Partridge in the Au Pair’s Tree (5/5 stars)
Comedy meets holiday romance in this delightful tale of unexpected Christmas magic from New York Times bestselling author Susan Donovan.
British nanny Noelle Clarke finally gets a break when her wealthy employers and their two high-maintenance children go to Aspen for the holidays. Despite feeling a little homesick, Noelle can’t wait to kick back and relax with a bottle of wine and some telly.
But when she accidentally trips the family’s alarm system and the dashing American cop Ryder Partridge comes to her aid, Noelle may get a far more satisfying Christmas than she’d hoped for.
Five Gold Smuggling Rings (5/5 stars)
Bestselling author Diane Kelly heats up the holidays, delivering spicy romance and heart-pounding suspense.
After receiving a tip from an unnamed source, rookie ICE agent Angelika Dietrich gets her first real case.
Things quickly steam up when she’s paired with her secret crush, Javier Carrasco, a veteran agent as sexy as he is stoic.
Javier won’t be an easy nut to crack, but if anyone can do it, it’s the bold, brassy, six-foot-one Angelika—–an ass-kicking tornado of a woman.
With a wicked sense of humor and a heart as big as her size-eleven stilettos, Angelika will have you cheering for her to capture the bad guys and Javier’s heart.
The Goose, The Gander and Three French Hens (5/5 stars)
Seven years ago, Jack Bennett gave Mary Claire Coleman an ultimatum: marry me or I’m out of here. When she declined, he kept his word and moved halfway across the globe.
Imagine Mary Claire’s surprise when Jack walks into her local Boise watering hole—and back into her life—two weeks before Christmas.
Although Mary Claire put romance aside long ago to run her successful antique shop, this chance encounter has all the crackling electricity of their previous passion.
She tries to keep her emotions in check, but a scorching hot date proves that their chemistry isn’t just in her head—it’s in every part of her body.
If she can find a way to move beyond the ghosts of her past, this might be the year that Jack and Mary Claire unwrap the best Christmas presents ever—each other.
Four Killing Birds (5/5 stars)

Missi knows she has only one chance at success, so she enlists the help of her cousins Gin, Dakota, and Coney. Together the Bombay cousins come out of retirement to stamp out the world’s most evil cabal.
Armed with four enormous, prehistoric-looking birds and Missi’s quirky inventions, will these Bombays succeed before their window of opportunity closes for good?
