16. Once a Cowboy (The Raffertys of Last Stand Book 3) by Justine Davis contemporary western romance. I love her characters and stories. 

17. Forgotten Kisses (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Cindy Roland Anderson contemporary romance. A part of me grew impatient with the insecure heroin because she reminded me too much of my own struggle with trust. I did enjoy the story by the end.

18. The Last Christmas (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Annette Lyon contemporary romance. An unexpected tale with the blessedly expected Happily Ever After.

19. Truth or Dare (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Julie Coulter Bellon romance. Sweet romance. Loved it.

20. Holiday Bucket List (Under the Mistletoe Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology 14) by Sarah M. Eden romance. Delightful!

Happy Valentine's Day

Celebrate with a story: Valentine Delivery

The third novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Lance Nelson delivers flowers every Valentine's Day. This year, he decides to show the woman he's secretly loved all his life exactly how he feels, creating a unique bouquet especially for her.

This Valentine's Day, Sharon Kelly decides to stop waiting for someone to send her what she wants and orders a bouquet of flowers for herself. She might as well arrange for her secret crush to deliver them.

God works in mysterious ways to provide the way to Happily Ever After, even when His children stand in their own way...

6. Caroles on the Green (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Joyce DiPasterna medieval romance. I'm not sure I could like the heroin, but as I learned about her I understood her better. Loved the story.

7. A Winter's Knight (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Donna Hatch Regency romance. I love Donna Hatch's stories. This one is no exception. Delightful.

8. A Fortunate Exile (Winter Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology Book 1) by Heather B. Moore historical romance, set in 1901. God takes what was meant for ill and creates a way to joy. 

9. Redemption (Saint Squad series) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. Her books are always page turners, and I lament them being over too soon, only because I enjoy them so much. This book was one I was hoping she'd write, and she didn't disappoint. 

10. Fairy Christmas (Silver Bells Collection: A Timeless Romance Anthology) by Lucinda Brant Georgian (1767) romance. A sweet romance with a bit of a surprise. Delightful.
