Vampire for Christmas by Felicity Heaton

Don't let the cover full you! This is more of a paranormal romance than an erotica. However, it does have a sex scene, so be aware.  



It was one last mission. Shannon, a demon hunter with the agency, is looking forward to leaving behind the small town and the vampire she's been stuck with for the past two years. Things are getting complicated fast and she wants out. A fresh start, free of her vampire partner, awaits her if she can survive their final mission and the lonely Christmas holidays.

It was one last mission. Rafe, a vampire doing time with the agency, watches it approach with dread weighing heavily in his stomach. Two years of working with Shannon has been difficult, especially since he started falling for her, but he doesn't want their partnership to end. He has barely a few days to make her face her feelings and stop her from leaving, and he intends to do just that.

Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma, Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can predict the surprises that lay in store.

After trying to make it on her own, Addie has returned home to Tacoma for the holidays, but this time she plans to stay for good, enrolling in the local community college to earn her degree. What she doesn’t plan to do is run into Erich Simmons.

How the In-Laws Wrecked Christmas by Fiona Gibson


http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D0graCJ-L._SX324_BO1,204,203,200_.jpgA funny, festive short story from bestseller Fiona Gibson. Just the thing to curl up with on a cold winter night.

Christmas in the country. What could be better? All you need is one country house, one gorgeous boyfriend and a liberal dusting of snow. Right?

That’s what Anna thinks and she can’t wait for the festivities to start. But then she meets her gorgeous boyfriend’s awful parents. And their drunk friends. And she starts to hear all about a certain ex-wife. Suddenly this doesn’t look like a very merry Christmas after all…

Audiobook: Starry Night by Debbie Macomber

I have seen Debbie Macomber's books everywhere but never had the chance to read them. I also did not know where to start since she had so many books. However, those who have read her books kept suggesting to read her holiday ones, so I picked up two Christmas audios. Here's one:

Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.

Audiobook: Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler

Read by Orlagh Cassidy
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fj4fcn-%2BL._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
Duration:   7 hours 22 minutes

 After nursing a broken engagement with Jane Austen novels and Absolut, Courtney Stone wakes up to find herself not in her Los Angeles bedroom or even in her own body, but inside the bedchamber of a woman in Regency England. Who but an Austen addict like herself could concoct such a fantasy?

Not only is Courtney stuck inside another woman's life, she is forced to pretend she actually is that woman; and despite knowing nothing about her, she manages to fool even the most astute observer. For her borrowed body knows how to speak without slaying the King's English, dance without maiming her partner, and embroider as if possessed by actual domestic skill.

I've been gone a while from my blog. I will be posting an update very soon! But here's my audiobook wrap-up!


 

The 2015 Audiobook Challenge was hosted by The Book Nympho & Hot Listens

I wish I could have listened to more book liked I planned at the beginning of the year but life just got in the way. I hardly did any reading the second half of 2015, print or audio, due to going back to school after 7 years to get my teaching credential. However, 2015 is not over yet and I hope to get a few more reads in before midnight on December 31st!!!




This is what I listened to in 2015:
