This Angel Bites by Jill Ireland (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This book is the finale of the Alphabitch series, that focuses on the Hutton children; Harlequin and Hollister. It may be read as a stand alone book, but due to the mountain of preceding events, I would recommend the previous books to add clarity. The original book chronicles the adventures of Charlie Hutton as she navigates the confining and confounding Victorian age in which she finds herself, where she has been accidentally propelled in a time travel experiment. She returns to her 1980's home in La Jolla California with Conner FitzGerald, who becomes collateral damage as an unwitting companion. The second book, Heart-On continues the tumultuous relationship as he adjusts to the modern world and his hostess, as their love and attraction deepens, in spite of the impossibility of a relationship. They originate in utterly different societies and are as unsuited as two people could be, but the romance persists through centuries, past and future, culminating in the final book that ends ...

Grover's Creek: A Christmas Fantasy by Bobby Underwood (23 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Grover's Creek is a wonderfully nostalgic and unabashedly sentimental Christmas fantasy. Filled with Americana and imbued with the longing most of us feel for a better time in our shared history, there is something universal in Nick's story of disillusionment with the present woes of the world. Searching for something more than his life as a crime photographer for a major paper in a metropolitan city has given him, what he finds can only be described as a Christmas miracle. A town steeped in the past, no longer on any map, and barely remembered, may hold the key to his future if he can find the faith and courage to accept what most would find beyond belief. Gentle and old-fashioned, Grover's Creek is a story of love and miracles, for those who still believe both are possible.
