She's everything he wants for Christmas…
Social worker Allison Barrington's home went up in smoke, literally, a month before Christmas. Now the guardian of her teenage sister and a crazy pup, she shows up on the doorstep of the only man in the city she can trust. Resisting Ethan Dane had never been easy, but luckily, Allie isn't into cutthroat playboy businessmen. And Ethan is as driven as they come.
Ethan Dane has wanted Allie since the moment he laid eyes on her at their best friends' wedding. Having her in his home is the perfect chance to prove to her that their chemistry can't be denied, but when he finds out that the biggest business coup of his career means destroying the youth center where Allie works, Ethan is forced to decide what kind of man he wants to be…
In ” An Oyster Shell – A darling Christmas read, that I really enjoyed.
The Pearls – There was a strong set-up of the characters right from the beginning. I loved the contrast of the sisters in the opening of the scene. It set-up their relationship which is a strong component for the rest of the story. It was nice to have a third party to the romance that helped or detoured it along at any part of the story. The sister was a great asset to the story.
The romance was super sweet and classy. I loved the way the two characters played off each other. I loved that he pursued her.
The tension in the story was great! He was the cause of why her shelter was going to be shut down. He was trying to stop it from happening, but how he resolves it is unexpected. Why he doesn’t resolve it until then, was a surprise to me.
The Sand – It was a sweet, short story.

Victoria always knew she wanted to be a writer and in grade five, she penned her first story, bound it (with staples and a cardboard cover) and did all the illustrations herself. Luckily, this book will never see the light of day again.
In high school she fell in love with historical romance and then contemporary romance. After graduating University with an English Literature degree, Victoria pursued a degree in Interior Design and then opened her own business.

Victoria is a hopeless romantic who is living her dream, penning happily-ever-after’s for her characters in between managing kids and the family business. Writing on a laptop in the middle of the country in a rambling old Victorian house would be ideal, but she’s quite content living in suburbia with her husband, their two young children, and very bad cat.
