Review: A Christmas of Coal and Mistletoe by Bobbi Romans

Description:
Cathy’s hit that 'married for so long' slump and coupled with the news she can't have children, grows distant and confused in her marriage. When her adoring husband Dan surprises her with a Twelve Days of Christmas trip, she hopes this might be the fix she’s been looking for.

All is well and spicy complete with Partridges in Pear Trees—or at least, owls on totems poles—until a cryptic text arrives on his cell.

A text that might end their marriage for good.

But a tragic freeway accident has Cathy re-evaluating what's most important in life. As things become midnight clear, the only question left is whether she is too late, or if just maybe she'll get all she wants for Christmas after all.

My Thoughts:
Cathy and Dan have been married for a while and they've hit a slump. They love each other, but lately they're just going through the motions. Then Dan surprises her with a trip. They end up working on their relationship. A realistic and hopeful holiday story that is appropriate for any time of year. Short but packs an emotional punch. A good, quick, emotional read.

Review: Updraft by Bobbi Romans

Updraft by Bobbi Romans

Description:
What happens when a blind date turns into an inferno?

Pray for an updraft.

And a smoking hot fireman who’ll stoke the flames rather than extinguish.

My Thoughts:
Kat agrees to a blind date and sparks fly. She ends up getting way more than she bargained for. A hot and steamy short story. Not romance, but maybe the beginning of one...

Review: Swamp Magic by Bobbi Romans

Swamp Magic by Bobbi Romans

Description:
Deep in the muggy swamps where there is but one rule, kill or be killed, a new species has emerged—born not from nature but spawned from evil.

Octavia wasn’t stupid. Those unfortunate souls who have crossed paths with her didn’t just become swamp creatures, they became the least deadly of them. She hadn’t counted on the strong spirits of those she’d cursed.

From those murky swamp depths, a hero emerged. The type from which legends are born.

Moss, whose sensual iridescent tattoos are in fact thanks to his reptilian side, still struggles to come to terms with his fate and wants nothing more than to be left alone.

Beth’s life becomes upturned when she reluctantly agrees to accompany her idiotic brother on a hunt for the Bog Man. When she becomes separated from the others she comes face to face with the legend himself . . . only no one ever mentioned how damn sexy he was.

The swamp’s dark history tests the duo on their survival skills as well as luring them deeper into the magic of the swamp.

My Thoughts:
I love paranormal romances because anything can happen. I also tend to like books with shifters and magic. This book is great because it is a little different.  You don't read about swamp shifters every day. Beth is a fun character who thinks like a normal, strong woman with a sassy side. Moss is a hot, damaged alpha male. There is also a magical element and an evil witch.  Overall a lot of fun and kept me turning pages. At the end, I wanted more. I recommend this one if you like steamy, paranormal romance with shifters, protective alpha males, and feisty, sassy females.
