I'm still in the holiday mood with a reissue of two of Nora Roberts' novellas in The Gift (#135). Light and easy romance where you know all will turn out for the best.
Home for Christmas has Jason Law returning home to his tiny New Hampshire town at Christmas time. He's been away ten years and has become a successful globe trotting journalist in the meantime. But he's never forgotten Faith Kirkpatrick, even if she didn't keep her promise to wait for him. The old feelings haven't gone away on either side, but Jason's world will be changed forever by the Christmas gift he receives from Faith.
All I Want for Christmas has identical twins Zeke and Zack (with their dog Zark!) writing to Santa to bring them a special present: the mom. Their father Mac Taylor is bringing up the twins on his own, but the boys think all three of them need that one special person with yellow hair who loves little boys, big dogs and making cookies. When Nell Davis, the new music teacher, hits town, Zeke and Zack know that Santa is working on their present. If only Mac doesn't blow it!
Both stories were new to me, and just the thing to read under the Christmas tree. I rate this one three candy canes!
