Does Julia Have a Suspicious Neighbor?
This Christmas, Julia has become obsessed with creating a perfect Yule Log cake to impress her boyfriend's family when they come for Christmas, but her efforts aren't turning out well. She is so desperate that she goes to a neighbor, Mrs. St. Onge, since her cakes were legendary. Mrs. St. Onge is an older lady, but as Julia begins to spend more time with her, Julia begins to wonder about the many people from Mrs. St. Onge’s past and present who seem to disappear from her life around the holidays. Is Julia in any danger herself?

The mystery on this one really drew me in. It is on the shorter size for a novella, but it had me turning pages quickly to find out if my suspicion on what was happening was true or not. As always, the characters are wonderful. We only see quick glimpses of some of the regulars, but they are still charming. And the new characters are great. As a bonus, there’s a recipe for a Yule Log cake at the end.

NOTE: This story is a novella, roughly 100 pages, and was originally part of the novella collection Yule Log Murder. If you have that book, there is no need to buy this ebook. If you haven’t read the story, now is the time to sit back and enjoy this Christmas mystery.

THE FORECAST LOOKS LIKE REINDEER is part of the Double-Booked for the Holidays series, a multi-author collaboration.

In this story, Dale and Aspen are both going to the Winter Wonderland resort - Dale to the human side, even though he's an alpha - and Aspen to the shifter lodge. He's hoping his omega heat doesn't spoil his Christmas. Both of them are looking forward to some peace and quiet, with plenty of R'n'R included. Unfortunately for everyone, something has gone wrong with the booking system, and everyone is double-booked. Dale and Aspen are the first to agree to share a cabin.

This is a very low-angst story that shows the connection forming between our two MCs. The descriptions of the places, the food, and the cabin are simply wonderful. And the steamy scenes certainly warmed things up! These two are compatible in simply every way, and it shows with every interaction.

And the story doesn't just end with Christmas. You get to see them the whole year (and more) afterwards. Yes, it's at breakneck speed, but you still see them!

A supersweet story that begins and ends at Christmas. A great read and definitely recommended by me.
