Surprise You're a Christmas Bride by Natalie-Nicole Bates
Maisey Gates runs a succesful blog called The Hand Me Down Bride and has recently moved to Vinegrove, WA. When the cab she is in breaks down one night after a night out with her friends at Que Syrah Syrah, she meets police officer Sean Marshall who gives her a lift home.
When her friends ask her to pick a name of a single man she does so reluctantly, knowing she will never call. Yet the name could also be a change for her and force her to get out.
Sean Marshall hasn't moved on since his wife died but maybe Maisey is the one for him. Yet secrets that each have towards the other could be their downfall and maybe the Love List will create more problems for Maisey than she ever thought possible.
I liked this story and it was a quick Christmas romance about the hands of fate. I liked Maisey and how hard she worked to get successful, yet she didn't seem to be as lucky in love.
I understood why Sean was mad but think he did over react a little. The list seems to cause lots of problems for all the women!

Finn Dubose is on a year long venture to get her life back on track after getting divorced from her husband. Her and her dog Scorch began in Miami and are now ending their journey with their last three months to be spent in Vine Grove, Washington.
Keaton Vanhorn is a veterinarian in Vine Grove and finds himself immediately attracted to Finn and the two begin to spend time together, enjoying each others company.
Unfortunately Finn has kept a couple of things from Keaton and when he finds out will he be headed right for the door or will he trust Finn enough to let her explain and give her a solid chance at forgiveness?
I enjoyed this Christmas treat! Finn was great and I loved how she was able to take time for herself to find herself after her marriage ending. Although she ended up with some issues in Miami that seemed to follow her around I think she finally was able to find herself.
I completely understand why Keaton was mad at being kept in the dark with certain important things. I think I would be quite upset as well!
I also really liked Tegan Taylor, the owner of Que Syrah Syrah Wine Shop and how they had a great group of girls that got together. I truly believe there needs to be more girl get togethers like this!
Such a great Christmas romance!
A Home for Christmas by Jennifer Conner
Kady Randall and her son Noah have been making ends meet by themselves until their home catches fire and Kady is forced to move back into her parents home in Vine Grove. Kady is able to get a job at the local wine shop Que Syrah Syrah where the ladies have a Love List which is meant to get the ladies out and meeting some of the local single men.
Editon Rain is a local boy who had feelings for Kady back in high school. He is someone who gives back to the community and jumps at the chance to take Kady out.
Will Kady allow Editon to get close to her and what will Noah think of her dating? Will Noah realize what Editon's intentions are and give his mom a chance at happiness? Will the Love List hamper any chance at Kady being happy?
I enjoyed this book as it looked at misconceptions that we have for people without really knowing what they have going for them. I loved how Editon was completely different than what we thought he was going to be.
I also enjoyed the surprises about Noah and how that affected Kady and her decisions. I think Kady did a great job with Noah but I think sometimes we just need an extra helping hand, no matter how difficult it may be to ask for that help.
I really liked Kady and she made me laugh with her insecurities and hesitations with everything around her. She really didn't want anything to affect her job and friendships with the ladies around her.
A great story about second chances for happiness and starting over.

Ten years ago Dakota Timmons received some shocking news that changed everything for her. Now she is ready to get her life on track and a meet a man who doesn't know she even exists. Yet when she enters Vinegrove, WA ready to start a new life she is almost in a car accident with the very handsome Tristan Hart.
Tristan Hart is managing his cousin's vineyard, Tanner Vineyard and is immediately attracted to Dakota. His cousin, Chase, is married to Becca who is best friends with Teagan who invites Dakota to Que Syrah Syrah to draw a name of an eligible bachelor.
As Dakota tries to deal with her feelings towards Tristan she must also deal with the man who brought her to town and see if she has finally found a place to call home.
I must admit that this list is a sign of genius but at the same time causes so much trouble when the men learn about it. You'd think that maybe more men in town would know of it's existence and be honored to be on it!
I felt so bad for Dakota at the beginning of the book with what her evil sister, Sabrina, said to her. I was so disappointed in her family but glad she was determined to make the best of it.
She had so much on her plate between the two men and I am so glad everything worked out for her as she really deserved it.
