Holiday-themed novels and movies (of any genre) work best if
they avoid clichés and offer surprising twists. Robin Weaver, one of our fellow
Romancing the Genres bloggers, is a master at delivering holiday surprises—and
combining romance with humor. Her three Christmas novellas are the perfect
trifecta for lifting your spirits and making you smile after a tough day
battling crowds. This post is scheduled for Black Friday!
Here’s a brief look at Robin’s novellas.
The Christmas Tree Wars. The first in the trilogy introduces
the town of Merryvale and its competitive and zany characters. Without her knowledge,
Suzette’s best friend enters her in the town’s Christmas tree decorating
contest, and we’re off and running as Suzette strives to beat snooty socialite Katarina.
When Spence returns to town to manage his father’s store, he joins Suzette’s
decorating team and the relationship grows tinsel bright. Then his NYC
girlfriend arrives unannounced—and pregnant. Don’t worry there are
plenty more twists ahead before the happy-ever-after ending.
Full Contact Decorating. Katrina returns in this sequel. She’s determined
to regain her title as the Christmas Tree Contest champion and re-snare the soap
opera star man of her dreams. Too bad he’s not interested. A man Katrina loves
to hate talks her into playing at romance to make her former flame jealous.
Of course, playing at romance soon leads to real feelings. But Katrina still is
guarding a secret that could jeopardize her happiness with either man.
The Gingerbread Skirmish. Kaley’s in-the-red coffee shop looks
like it will go under, when a freak snowstorm threatens her ability to deliver
a special order of gingerbread that could save the day. Stuck in her
mountain cabin, she rescues a stranded and grumpy Tanner, who’s fixated on
getting home to save his violets. Tanner doesn’t bother to tell Kaley the
violets are part of a NASA experiment and assumes he’s gay. Tanner doesn’t set
the record straight. Stuck in her cabin for three days, they feel the chemistry
but how can they get beyond the lies?

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that you
spend Black Friday however you most enjoy it. For me, it’s eating leftovers,
enjoying family, and reading! No purchases—other than ebook downloads—whatsoever.

Linda, I agree that Robin Weaver's Christmas Trifecta is a perfect gift for oneself or others! And, I'm with you on staying home on Black Friday! I'll go out for my walk but will stay far away from shopping centers, stores, malls but unlike you, I'll stay away from even on-line shopping.
Sitting at the kitchen table and doing no shopping. Family members are doing that for me. Won't get me near a store. Hope you all enjoy your Black Friday however you spend it.
