Silent Night, Holy Night, books 43-44

This was a sweet little breath of fresh air for Christmas stories.  I really enjoy reading Colleen Coble and this did not disappoint.  

She is mainly a series writer and while I have read one of them (Hope Beach Series) I have many more on my Paperwhite just waiting their turn.  

This book is actually two Christmas novellas Colleen wrote previously combined into one book.  One story, Silent Night, is from her Rock Harbor series and the other, Holy Night, is from her Aloha Reef series.  

I would have to say Silent Night was my favorite.  It combined a little mystery that is not typical in Christmas books I've read.  And the snowy environment in Michigan really made me miss some serious snow.  

Holy Night, on the other hand, takes place in Hawaii, and while the story itself was good, it is just still hard for me to imagine Christmas with hot weather.  (Of course if my plan of retiring to a condo at the beach actually happens I guess I'll have to get used to it! :) )

Silent Night
As Christmas day nears, Bree Matthews and her faithful search-and-rescue dog Samson follow the trail of a troubling mystery into the snowy forests of Rock Harbor.  Newlywed Bree Matthews and her husband Kade are preparing for Christmas guests when word arrives that a parachuter has disappeared in the North Woods, along Lake Superior's icy shore. Bree and Samson plunge into the search.  Will this snowy, silent night search lead Bree and Samson to the missing girl?

Holy Night
One sinister phone call has derailed their Christmas wedding. Will it keep them apart forever?  Leia and Bane are looking forward to their long-awaited Christmas wedding on the beach. Everything is going as planned—until Leia's phone rings and her world skids out of control. A muffled voice informs Leia that her sister has been kidnapped and will be killed unless Leia calls off the wedding without explanation—and no police. If she disobeys instructions and tells Bane, she'll risk her beloved sister's life. But can she handle this trauma without his help? And will he ever trust her again if she lies to him now?  Irresistible romance meets thrilling suspense in this holiday update to USA Today best-selling author Colleen Coble's Aloha Reef series.  (picture and descriptions at amazon)

Of course, do you know what just happened?  I just added about 10 books from her to my must read list!!!  

Keep reading!
