The Contestants
Since the death of her military husband two years ago, single mom Christine White has struggled to get by. By throwing herself into her work as a Chicago copywriter, she's managed to keep food on the table but has gradually lost sight of what really matters, like building a bond with her four-year-old son. When Christine's best friend insists she spend Christmas in Vermont so she can get her life in order, Christine initially resists. Little does she know she's in for a memorable holiday that will reignite her faith and reawaken her heart.
Bachelor professor John Steadman has given up on finding the right one. Spending time with his friends while keeping up with his job seems satisfying enough. Then one day close to Christmas, a beautiful woman from Chicago nearly runs him off the road during a snowstorm. What's more, she's got a kid in her car. It's only natural that John and his trusty golden retriever want to help drag them out of a ditch and steer them toward their destination. What John doesn't expect is that soon he'll be hoping Christine and her son will be staying in Vermont - for more than just a little while. (less)

Caleb didn’t know that one night of bliss last spring with small town beauty Maya Brand had resulted in a pregnancy, until the blackmail attempt arrived on his desk in an unmarked envelope, complete with photos of Maya with a belly out to there.
When he learns the truth, Caleb rushes back to Big Falls, determined to make it right despite what the scandal will do to his high profile career–the family legacy he had never truly wanted.
All he wants is Maya, and their child.
But can a girl whose father abandoned and betrayed her, ever truly believe in the goodness of a man who left town the morning after their one night stand? How can he convince her that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her since then, much less, do so with the whole world watching? He has to prove himself to a woman he’s not even sure he’s worthy of. But he has no idea how.
Christmas represents everything Andi Williams is supposed to have, and doesn't. Running away to a remote mountain lodge in the Canadian Rockies, sounds like the perfect way to escape, until a mix-up finds her sharing a villa with sexy, rough around the edges, Colin Hartford.
Colin's determination to enjoy the holiday he’s missed for the last five years, sweeps Andi into a season of joy that she’s not sure she’s ready for. Can Andi open herself up to everything the holidays have to offer... including love?

Like to join the fun? Here's how it works.
Each month you will make a post with three books from your TBR List (these books can be already on your kindle or shelf or books you might want to purchase) and add your link on the linky that will be provided on Because Reading post.
Your followers and the people on the linky will help you choose which book you will read next.
The following Saturday you will announce the book that won. Then read the book.
On the last Saturday of the month post a review (with an optional giveaway, Michelle at Because Reading does this sometimes just for fun but you don’t have to).
The Rules
Ex. Lets say its September…
The first Saturday is the 6th – your post will go up with the 3 books you choose (as stated above these books can be already on your kindle or shelf or books you might want to purchase) and then link it to the linky on Because Reading blog.
Her post will go up at 5am est. Make sure your link your post back to it in order to have your followers visit other people’s blogs to help vote if they want.
You can do the Polling however you would like. Survey Monkey, it has a good one and it’s free (here is an EXAMPLE of Michelle's post). You can set it up and say whatever you would like – it’s totally up to you. All this is asked is that you link back to Because Reading.
The second Saturday is the 13th – this is the day you announce which book won and whatever else you would like.
(here is an EXAMPLE of Michelle's post). Her post will have a linky, so we can all easily see what everyone will be reading.
The third Saturday is the 20th– you don’t have to post anything
The fourth (and/or last) Saturday is the 27th– this is when your review will go up regardless of how you liked the book.
Please note even if you didn’t finished it just write a small post about how you felt about the book. Michelle don’t write DNF reviews, but she does for this feature so followers can see what she thought about the book they picked.
Some months have 4 weeks and some have five so a post always has to go up the First and Second Saturday and the last Saturday of the month
The final review post will also have a linky on it so you can link up your reviews and we can see what you thought of the book that was picked. This will draw some views to your blog and maybe find some new friends along the way.

I chose the Maggie Shayne book, because I remember liking her books when I was reading lots of romance in my somewhat younger days.
ReplyDeleteI went with Unexpected Gifts because that sounds like fun! I like the two opposites thrown together scenario.
ReplyDeleteIt was really hard to decide, Bunnita! I went with The Christmas Catch because it sounds like a feel-good read. However, I also would like to read Maggie Shayne's book. AND I read Unexpected Gifts last year during the holidays and enjoyed it a lot! So I'll be happy no matter which one wins...and I hope YOU will be as well! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI voted for Maggie Shayne's book, because I love her writing! I hope you'll enjoy the one that's picked, Bunnita!
ReplyDeleteLexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Someone is wanting a Christmas read. :) I didn't know which to pick so just went with Unexpected Gifts. :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like Maggie Shayne is winning.
ReplyDelete@Stormi - LOL yes it's my favorite holiday!
Thanks all for your votes.
This looks like such an awesome meme, I wish I had more time cause it looks like def worth it
ReplyDeleteA girl after my own heart! Christmas books!!! This was hard for me since I am 100% christmas girl. I went with the last one because it reminds me of a Hallmark Christmas movie but I would be happy with which ever was picked, I hope you love them!
ReplyDeleteLook at all the chirstmas goodies! I love Christmas books which made this a hard vote for me...but the Maggie Shayne book really caught my attention. I hope you enjoy whichever one wins!
ReplyDeleteI went with The Christmas Catch as it sounds like a heart warming read. Hope you enjoy whatever one is chosen, looks like you are in the Christmas mood early :D
ReplyDeleteI will end up reading all of them at some point before December is over I hope. I hold back from decorating until Nov 26th but Christmas is just so dang dreamy to me.
ReplyDeleteI voted for unexpected gifts as a remote mountain lodge in the Canadian Rockies sounds like a great setting for a christmas romance book. I hope you'll enjoy the book that wins!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to a mountain lodge which so doesn't go with the fact that I don't really care for snow.
ReplyDeleteI went with the Maggie Shayne book since I like her writing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Brand's Who Came for Christmas is the one I voted for. Haven't read Maggie Shayne but I really want to!
ReplyDeleteI guess I know which book I'm reading. Thanks everyone for the votes and comments!
ReplyDeleteHA I voted Maggie Shayne too! I read the first one I NEED this one! BABIES!! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteThey all sound good. I chose the one with the babies on the cover, it sounds so good. I hope you enjoy whichever one(s) you read!
ReplyDeleteThe babies were a swaying factor for me too.
