Eternally Chained
Sean Reilly never asked to be a vampire. But when he's mortally wounded and turned during World War II, he uses his new abilities to fight evil as part of the Night Watch organization. He's also called in when someone needs to be turned. Sean's oath to never mix business with pleasure takes a hit after he changes a dying but extremely sexy Morgan Grady. Against his will he's drawn to her, but her penchant for disobeying orders makes him want to file his fangs. Morgan, a Los Angeles undercover police officer, never considered vampires might actually be real until she's shot and left for dead...and awakens an immortal. But just because the hot and sexy Sean changed her doesn't mean he gets to call the shots. She's her own woman and plans to do what she always does and on her own terms--fight evil. When confronted with an entity bent on destroying them, Sean and Morgan must fight together, facing not only their enemy but also the terrifying possibility that they were meant to be together forever.

Gavin Frost is Santa’s sleigh maker. He’s as happy as a man can be while living with regret. He wishes he could take back events of seven years ago; the ones that caused his fiancé to storm out of his life on Christmas Eve.
Prudence Berry was engaged to Gavin. Her obsession with climbing to the top of her union (Elves’ Local #101) wasn’t as much to blame for their breakup as Gavin's philandering.
When the two of them are forced to work together on Christmas Eve, they discover that the spirit of the holiday doesn’t just work on children. There’s magic afoot! Gavin and Pru are about to discover the real meaning of the season…in each other’s arms.

I really enjoyed "The Sleigh Maker" as it had relatable problems with a dash of magic and Christmas. I was amused by how Gavin and Pru interacted and had great chemistry. And they both seemed to really care about each other. They had a wonderful relationship buildup and had to deal with personal issues. They spent quality time getting to know each other. Plus the secondary characters in this story helped driv

The Gazing Globe
Book 2 in the Tales of the Order series.
Before his parents died, Blain McTavish lived a peaceful life as a farmer in a quiet Maine town. Now two mysterious women have arrived from England — and they seem to be trying to protect him from harm. But who would want to hurt Blain? And why does he feel compelled to run naked in the forest at night?
Afton O'Malley wishes she could be a better Druid. When her mentor, Shayla, the Sorceress of the Order, asks her to accompany her to the States, she is eager to take on the task. When she meets Blain, the feelings he stirs in her are proof positive that magic is more than spells and shapeshifting.
Blain does not know the extent of the danger around him, or of his latent fairy and Druid powers. With Afton's help, he must come to understand his destiny — and take his place within the Order.

Dialogue would be a great way to help pique the interest of the reader.
The story is mildly entertaining but the dedicated character
