Susan Jean Ricci’s Love for the Holidays Collection

Nothing is more uplifting than the prospect of falling in love, especially during the holidays.

Presenting five of my favorite festive romances, several of which have earned awards for best Holiday Romance. Five Christmas Romances, plus two bonus stories, one for New Year’s Eve and the other a Valentine’s Day Tribute.

Sparkles of the Season

During his son’s visit with Santa, the instant attraction between a professional football player and the widowed photographer changes everything for the better. The flirtation between Sonia and Lars is encouraged by both their single parents, but does a hot kiss in the backseat of a limo inspire the young couple to move forward without the parents’ gentle intervention?

Double Lead

Two strangers connect during a vacation in the tropics and embark on a love affair so consuming, they ignore their obligations at home. Little do they know there’s more between them than they can imagine back home, the love of dog sled racing at Christmastime, Alaskan-style.

Ripples Under the Sea

Two Marine Biologists are swept into the currents of love in this charming Christmas tale of aquatic antics, sorrow, and separation at the most wonderful time of the year.

A Christmas Hearth for Ivy

When a homeless single mother lends comfort to a grieving stranger and is mistaken for a psychic, she runs with it, and straight into the arms of the confirmed bachelor who saved her little boy from danger.

Cruising for Mr. Right

Can a widow discover second chance romance aboard a ship during a Christmas cruise and make the right choice between two adoring men? And what will her adult children say?

Bonus Story One: Tumbling Into Midnight

When a stunt double’s sweet on her leading man, remaining casual is nearly impossible, until a near-fatal accident reveals many secrets. Will the new year bring glad tidings for these two?

Bonus Story Two: A Sweet Snafu

There’s never a dull moment with these two. From the award-winning novels, Dinosaurs and Cherry Stems, and its sequel, The Sugar Ticket, here’s a little snippet of what marriage and its financial challenges bring to a relationship when Jay, the accountant, retires and lowers the boom on his wife’s online shopping habits, just before Valentine’s Day
