BOOK COVER
Goodreads link: Romancing Rudy Raindear
Description from the publisher:
Rudy Christopher Raindear opened his
eyes in the early morning gloom and glanced at the dark-haired girl asleep on
the green sofa across from him.
He figured he was dreaming so he rolled over, punched down his uncooperative pillow, pulled the thin blanket up over his shoulders, closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh. The sigh triggered the mild headache he’d been nursing for most of the night into a thunderous pounding which reverberated down his spine.
The pounding caused his stomach to pitch several times which made him bolt upright banging his about-to-explode head on the low, slanted ceiling. This in turn reminded him that he wasn’t at home in his ultra-modern apartment in New York City, but in his grandfather’s partially converted attic in North Pole, Maine, the Christmas Capital of the World.
The now dying Christmas Capital of the World. The town Rudy and his parents had happily abandoned as soon as he’d graduated from high school.
To read the whole story of Christmas Maine, be sure and download Kissing Kris Kringle by Erin Quinn and Naughty St. Nick by Calista Fox.

This is the third book in a trilogy
created by the authors, Erin Quinn, Calista Fox, and Mary Leo, designed around
the town of North Pole, Maine. After a
night of heavy partying, three friends each wake to find that they are on
Santa’s naughty list. In a town where
Christmas is a way of life,
Rudy Raindear is in town on a
mission. He’s quietly buying up property
for the SmartMart store that will soon be built and finish destroying the
already shaky local businesses. That is,
until a white-bearded jolly old elf puts him on the Naughty List and curses him
with a red nose! When he lies, his nose
begins to get redder and redder. It
doesn’t take him long to figure out that he will need to come clean with
grandfather, the town, and the girl of his dreams, Jenny Bell.
I love Jenny. She is sweet, empathetic, and holding a
little secret about the man in red, too.
She may be sweet, but she’s no push-over and Rudy has to prove himself
to her.
I’ll admit this one made me cry,
but in such a good way. By the time I had
finished this third short-story in the trilogy, I knew I was ready for my own
Christmas magic. Bring on the holly and
hang up the stockings!!
Another author added to my T(Must)BR
