Book Blast: Christmas in Cornwall by Tamara Gill

CHRISTMAS IN CORNWALL
GENRE: Regency Holiday Romance

After two failed seasons in town, May Stanford sees her future no longer with her family, but in a nearby convent where she’ll not be anyone’s financial burden.

 But before she can embark onher new life, May must complete her dealings with the local smugglers, men who have kept aroof over her family’s head during frugal times. One last Christmas at home and her life would change forever. So when William Scott, the Earl of Grandison arrives and crumbles her perfectly planned future to rubble, May is less than pleased.

William, Lord Grandison works for the Crown, and is determined to catch the nuisance Englishmen who dare smuggle along the Cornwall coast. William has never veered from his pursuit of these men working against the law, that was until he meets May Stanford, the maddening daughter of his host for Christmas. May drives him to distraction and forces him to admit to feelings he has never felt before.

But when May and William discover the crippling truth of each other, their secrets will threaten to tear them apart.



Excerpt One:

May’s little brother sat beside her, staring in silence at the ocean to the left of the carriage. He
was angry at her decision, his sullen face throwing daggers at her every so often. But she
refused to be a burden to him in the years to come. It would be hard enough for her sibling to
keep the estate without the added stress of a spinster sister who ate his food and needed
clothing and board. Becoming a nun allowed her the life she wanted to lead without straining her
family’s coffers.

“Explain to me again just why a beautiful young woman such as you wishes to lock herself away
in such a place. Now, don’t get me wrong, May, I’ve always encouraged you to make your own
decisions, but it’s a convent. You’ll be married to God. I fear you will regret your choice,” her
father said.

May cringed, hating his dejected tone, or that she’d had the same argument numerous times
with her papa. Today, finally, she’d been able to persuade him to make the five-mile trip to the
convent and meet the mother superior. It may not have been what she’d always wanted, but it
was for the best considering her changed opinion on husbands and the family’s circumstances,
which were worsening every year. “This is my choice to make. I know it’s not something you
agree with, but I’ll be happy there. I know I will.”

Christmas Makeover by Cami Checketts Amazon bestselling author

Chelsea Jamison has been infatuated with Drew Stirling longer than she's loved playing basketball, high-top sneakers, and the Knicks. Unfortunately, all Drew sees is the kid who kicked his trash in the high school free throw contest and not the girl whose heart breaks into a fast dribble when he's near.

Drew makes an unexpected visit home to Echo Ridge and their friendship picks up where they left off as they scheme to make a teenaged boy's Christmas dreams come true. When Chelsea realizes she's fallen for her best friend, she wonders if there is any hope of a relationship with Drew or if she's stuck in buddy-status for life.

Hope for Christmas by Rachelle J. Christensen Amazon bestselling & award-winning author

Anika Fletcher hates Christmas--its promises of good tidings and hope for the future are as tinseled as the ornaments on Kenworth's Hope Tree. Despite her feelings, Anika wants to maintain her daughter's faith in the magic of the season and gladly accepts a second job working with the handsome Carlos Rodriguez to restore Kenworth's old fashioned soda fountain. Carlos is no stranger to hard times and slowly shares his life of light and joy with Anika as they work together. Just as her fragile soul begins to feel hope again, an ill-timed act of charity changes everything. Anika isn't sure who she can trust or if hope is worth nurturing--especially at Christmas when it's easy to enjoy a kiss and believe love can last longer than the season.

Soda Fountain Christmas by Connie E. Sokol Amazon bestselling author

Keira Kenworth has one focus this holiday season: save her father's old-time department store from bankruptcy. She is not focused on Tayton Wells, the tall, dark, and genius marketing guru from downtown New York, hired to make it happen. He is as doubtful that her nostalgic connect-the-town ideas will succeed as she is about his numbers-first plan. However, it's not just their different approaches that cause sparks to fly. Working together on a fast deadline to save the store before Christmas, the unspoken connection between them grows. But will the tough decisions they face drive them back to their separate worlds, or will they lead to the beginning of love?
