Download or read book More Than a Fling A steamy feel good holiday romcom written by Christa Wick and published by Christa Wick. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laney: It all started with a blind date. For him, at least. Me? I didn't even know I was on a date with the guy. Because I wasn't. Long story. Right place, right time, unsuspecting new PR client and meddlesome matchmaking friends. Talk about an awkward first impression--with me being the awkward one. I regrouped though, gotta give me that. And now all I have to do this holiday season is not fall for the gruff, gritty, secret do-gooder with a surprisingly sweet side (buried a mile or so under a grinchy, ridiculously hot exterior). Yep, easy peasey... Gary: Hell, of course the smart, sweet woman I thought was my blind date would turn out to be my new PR guru from New York. Just my luck. No big deal though. Spending the winter working with an impossibly cute woman on a project I've put my blood and sweat into doesn't sound half bad. Yeah, I'm aware my friends think a sparks-flying romance is unfolding here, but come on now. We don't even live in the same state. And let's be real, the universe would have to be seriously drunk to pick my grumpy ass to be the hero of some holiday romcom... Author’s Note: This brand new sweet & steamy standalone short is actually a crossover novella with cameos (aka meddling) by a few characters you may recognize from the Irresistible Curves series (Claiming Her Curves and Capturing Her Curves) and the Untouchable Curves series (Curvy Seduction), not to mention a quick run-in with the fabulous matriarch of the His to Claim series herself. So many worlds colliding, so much fun making it happen. You don’t have to have read any of the other books to read this standalone, but if you have read them, I hope you enjoy getting to catch up with them all as they meddle the heck out of Laney & Gary’s hot happily-ever-after. ***Previously titled Hot Nights Winter Lights - same cute story, just with a fresh title/cover makeover***

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heart-warming, steamy holiday vacation romance that will leave your heart full. Ten Reasons to Have a Holiday Fling… That's either the title of a holiday listicle I'll be submitting in the hopes of strumming up extra cash…or it's the mental game I'm playing during après ski. Take a guess. (Hint: You can't get it wrong.) My first impression of the snowboarder balking at the top of the ski run wasn't the greatest. But a couple of drinks in, with his ruffled hair, whiskey eyes and southern twang, Oliver transforms from just another vacationer to sizzling dreamy Texan. This is the year I'm supposed to turn my life around. This is the year I'm supposed to live my life for me. What better way to kickstart my new life than with a holiday fling? Plus, it's my first Christmas without my family. And Oliver's alone at Christmas too. No one should be alone at Christmas, right? That's my logic. Those hot jingly nights keep us warm and toasty through my most unforgettable holiday ever. And then it's goodbye. A sane, healthy, mature parting of ways and the kick off to the Year of Me. But when an impulsive text rekindles the holiday spirit, it's clear the fireworks didn't end at New Year's… Christmas magic abounds in this love story that begins as a carefree holiday fling and transforms in the New Year, through all the seasons, and winds up right up back on Christmas Tree Lane. How to Survive a Holiday Fling is a steamy, standalone holiday romance novel written in dual first-person POV. CLICK 'BUY NOW' TO START YOUR HOLIDAY FLING TODAY! See what reviewers are saying: "Oooh, Isabel Jolie stole my heart with Oliver and Kate! Another absolutely wonderful Holiday Novel and this one gave me a lot of yearning and angst for both main characters...The side characters, especially the Duke family, Sandra, and Noah, are WONDERFUL!! The ranch and the Tetons seem to be their own characters, and really they should be - they're so vast and they take up so much space and love in the book, Ms. Jolie knows how to give them their true meaning in life, the land really can have that kind of impact on people.... Five out of five stars for a book filled to the brim with love, angst, and so much emotion, it left my heart full." -Bex Book Revieux "Hot without being dirty. Ridiculously sweet without being cliche. Trust me, whatever you think you know about romance, Isabel Jolie is at least 10 steps above that, and she surprised me at every turn. Oliver is rugged, in control, and ultra-masculine, but he's also man enough to let Kate make her own decisions and support her while she makes them. And Kate is a delightful mix between fierce and vulnerable, but those vulnerabilities never stop her from fighting for what she wants, and never backing down from anything. How To Survive A Holiday Fling is a must read, written by an author who truly has an instinctual and impressive grasp on both the genre and the human heart!" -International Review of Books Similar to Books Like: Cowboy Kiss Me At Christmas by Genevieve Turner Impossible Love by Kimberly Readnour Snowflake Hollow by Lexi Timms Search Words: Holiday romance, new adult romance, hometown romance, sexy, hot and steamy, happily ever after, sweet love story, romance love, romance billionaire series, billionaire romance, holiday, holiday romance, romance, billionaire, women's fiction, New Years Romance, Christmas Romance, Christmas fiction, vacation romance, long-distance romance, small town romance, sports romance, cowboy romance

That is, until her socialite nemesis swears Maggie couldn’t get a date to the Christmas Ball if her life depended on it… Scrambling to find a plus one, Maggie calls in a favor from her childhood friend, Penny. The one who works for a male escort service… UP TO SNOW GOOD The only thing worse than a streaking Santa dashing naked through my Christmas tree farm? Answer: Lawrence Beverly, the insufferable Brit who opened a competing farm down the lane, finding out about it. I loathe Lawrence like cocktail sauce in my cocoa, and there’s no way I’m letting him use Mr. Jingle Balls against me. Luckily, I have a foolproof plan to take care of my Santa problem. Or so I think, until it goes hideously awry and Lawrence sweeps in to save the day. Now we’re making out in front of my fireplace and he’s saying all the right things, but can I trust this man with my heart? Or is he still up to snow good? THE TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS It’s the time of year for miracles…Once upon a time, Lula and Carter were inseparable. But when their romance faltered, the holiday lights went out in Lula’s heart.
