Sick of tending to everyone else’s needs around the
holidays, divorced barmaid and granny Sandra ferries it from
front of a
roaring fire in a remote Irish castle. What she gets is a most unexpected
Christmas present from her friends at Bell
Can she hack
it in the real world of romance, or are life’s complications and treacherous
snowstorms best left to the pages of a book?Newly widowed Ardan Draighean owns Ballygalley castle. Once run as a hotel with his late wife, the stone building now serves as a home for him and his son. After hearing about Madame Eve’s matchmaking skills, he contacts her in search of the perfect match. Although much older than him—by fifteen years—Sandra is his ideal woman. He be damned if he’ll let a good story get in the way of his happy ever after with her.
Hot winter kisses are all this couple needs to stay warm this Christmas, but will the heat stay long after the magical season of mistletoe has finished?
My Review:
This is another 1NS (1 night stand) book, where Madame Eve matches up people via her website. People can sign themselves up, or be signed up by their friends for a 1 night stand, no dating involved!
Ardan is rich. He doesn't want Sandra to know about his money or his family, after all it is just a 1 night stand. But When Ardan falls in love he needs to come clean or risk losing Sandra. Will he tell her the whole truth?
Sandra has no idea why her friends made her stay at this castle,until she got their gift. Included was a card explaining that they had signed her up for a 1 night stand. No more sexy romance novels for her! She meets a stranger on the way to the castle that ends up kissing her, and making het walk in a foot of snow due to his car dying. Eventually when n other guests show up, Sandra puts all the information together and realizes that her mystery man she kissed is really her date. When she finds out she makes it her mission to find out the rest of his secrets. Including the truth about the little boy that she saw running outside.
How long can a 1 night stand last? I also liked that this book was short and sweet and took place in a castle during Christmas!
Ardan SNIPPET PG/13
Slowing
the vehicle to a crawl, he prayed his mid-renovation Alfa Romeo would hold out.
He would have used the four by four, but his mother had borrowed it.His passenger leaned against the window with her mouth wide open, her breath heavy. Damned woman slept, out like a log. How could he apologize for the terrible first impression he must have given her? Stupid digital books and noisy bar. He despised the bustle of the city, but he hadn’t meant to take his impatience out on her. Amy often said he had low tolerance levels. Guess she’d been right.
Amy, his wife, had died on Christmas Eve two years earlier. He kept her pink blanket on the back seat where she always threw it no matter which car they used. “Living out in the sticks,” she’d say, “means you have to be prepared for
anything.
This blanket could be the difference between staying alive or freezing to death
if the car ever breaks down.” He didn’t have the heart to throw the precious
keepsake out or stash it in the attic.
Reaching
to the back—keeping his sight focused on the road ahead—he felt around for the
cover. His digits landed on something soft and he yanked it to the front and
brought it to his nose, searching for some semblance of comfort. The scent of
her still wedged in the thick softness. The faint, but distinct waft of her
favorite flowery perfume filled his nostrils, and his memory hurtled back to
when she insisted on knitting the thing. Her little side smile, the sparkle in
her violet eyes—as if it were yesterday.His heart lay heavy. A sigh escaped him and steamed up the window.
Sandra shivered, and her knees knocked together. The poor lass was freezing. Instinct made him want to cascade his treasured knit over her, but his mourning for his dead fiancée made him pause. “Damn it, Amy wouldn’t want her ta catch her death.” He placed the blanket
on her knees and lifted it around her shoulders. Without the harsh din of Laverty’s and her crass tongue to bug him, she was stunning. Naturally pretty. Shame about her foul cockney mouth.
