Saving Christmas

The unthinkable happens: Santa Claus is kidnapped one week before Christmas--in front of a group of caroling school children no less. Now all eyes are on Detective Doug Brophy to rescue Santa and save the holiday. But solving the crime means working with Paulina Smithfield, the woman whose heart he broke six months earlier.

Thrust together for the investigation, Doug and Paulina are forced to face a past they thought they'd buried. With memories and hurt feelings simmering just below the surface, they race against time to rescue Santa. But when they end up alone together on a cold night, attraction flares, and the fire roaring in the hearth is nothing compared to the heat burning between them.

Can Paulina give Doug the second chance he needs to prove his love? Or will a madman steal their future and destroy Christmas?

Not just any man, a military man willing to be her pen pal. Thanks to an old friend, Cambrie connects with Miller Daly, a sexy Navy SEAL who ignites her sensual side and promises to make her hottest dreams a reality.

Cambrie is no frump and she shares Miller's interest in a hot affair. Unfortunately, he's always in another corner of the world and Cambrie is devoted to the frail aunt who raised her. They must steal every steamy moment together, but how long can the fires of their passion sustain them?

With a bounty on her head and hit men closing in, Amber is running out of time. Can they find the stolen diamond—and their chance at love? Or will Amber’s past destroy them?

Genre(s): Romantic Suspense
The book starts out with some drama, and a whole lot of mystery. I have to admit it did take me a few chapters to get completely interested in the book.

I spent a fair amount of this book blushing furiously from the heat that Daren and Cassandra generate together.  Even before they got to the actual act of sex, Daren's flirtatious tone (and inner possessive thoughts) and Cassandra's half-flirty/half what the heck is going on here attitude set the tone of the story quite well. The beginning of the story is kind of rushed.  We jump from Daren is Ca
