THE OTHER WOMAN by SANDIE JONES St. Martin's Press Release Date: 8/21/2018 5 STARS Wow, there's not much I can say about this book without spoiling it for everyone else! Emily is a successful woman, and meets Adam, who she falls for. Adam is very close to his mother, Pammie. He and his brother were raised by her after she was widowed. But things aren't as they seem. Emily soon realizes she is going to have to share Adam with his mom. How devious is Pammie? You have to read the book to find out. I read this in one day, it was that good! Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy. This is my honest review.

DEAR SANTA by NANCY NAIGLE St. Martin's Griffin Expected Publish Date: Oct. 16, 2018 4 STARS Cute story about running a year-round family Christmas store. Angela Carson has been running the family store for a long time, but business has been steadily declining. When a big chain store, Christmas Galore, moves to town it may put her out of business. Her niece encourages her to send a letter to Santa asking for his help. Little does she know that the owner of the big new store, Geoff, is answering the Santa letters due to his mother’s illness. She assumes the response was auto-generated from a computer. When she gets another reply, she realizes that Santa really is communicating with her. Will Angela be able to let go of her anger about the possibility of closing her store? Will she find out that Geoff is her Santa? Enjoyed this sweet romance provided to me by NetGalley and St. Martin’s in return for an honest review.
