Between the Pages

Hi

Is Christmas creeping up on you as well? I only just realised that it is only a week and a half away. Time to start thinking about what food I'll bring to the Christmas table. Weather forecast is for early twenties I think (say around 75 degrees F) so should be a nice day.

Typically, we have cold meats and salads for lunch, sometimes fish or prawns. Each year, we say we're going to keep it simple and not eat too much, and each year the table is groaning under food, and we eat too many of those Christmas nuts and chocolates. This year, it will be held at my place, and a busy team is working at the moment on the deck, the fencing, and the paving outside. It will be good to have full use of the outdoor areas as well.

Christmas afternoon is always a time for relaxing, and that is when I like to read a good book. As something different this year, I have been posting a daily Christmas Advent Book in the lead-up to Christmas Day. They aren't all my books (okay, two of them are), but are books I have read in a variety of genres and have enjoyed.

If you would like to check them out, you can see them on my FB page,

https://www.facebook.com/emily.hussey.56/.

I have been posting them to Instagram also, but am running behind there. I will catch up with the IG postings later today.

What books do you like to read at Christmas? Beach reads? Holiday reads? Crime and thriller? Tell me here.

Now you can find my books everywhere...

...online at least.

To date, my books have been available through Amazon, but not other retailers because of the requirements not to sell elsewhere if your books are available through Kindle Unlimited.

I have now listed most of my books through Kobo, Kobo Plus, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and all the library services. Those books that are still published through Kindle Unlimited will gradually transition to wide availability as their contract term ends.

This makes the books more widely available, wherever you choose to purchase.

A great beach read...

Clear as a Bell

by Emily Hussey

When Miranda Montgomery convinced Hugh Paterson to award her company the hospital contract, she didn’t envision the sacrifice it would entail. Her company’s survival depends upon it. A pity he’s such a misogynist jerk. She can give as good as she gets, but has to play the game if she’s going to keep him onside.

Working in close proximity was unavoidable, and Miranda was surprised to discover the creative side of his personality. Not quite as surprised as discovering the hot body and passion beneath that business suit. It was a lust equally matched by hers.

The attraction between them sizzles, but office romances are bad news. It’s already apparent others would sabotage her business if they could, and Miranda must use her wits to survive.

Crossroads

by T K Lawyer

Can He Break Her Walls Down?

As a young college student, there wasn’t much Clay didn’t like.

He loved women. Enjoyed their soft skin and their lush lips, entertaining him during his long, lonely nights. Females were never in short supply. But, a long-term relationship?

That was not in his vocabulary or on his agenda. But when a stunning beauty enters his life, championing for causes he also believes in, dating one woman doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Marisole was special. One of a kind. She was also his best friend’s friend. A man who warned Marisole about Clay.

Clay wants a chance with Marisol, but Marisole doesn’t want to date him. How can he prove to her he’s different from the others? That he is serious about her, when his reputation keeps her at a safe, long-distance, with no chance for anything beyond friendship?

The Sweetest Gift

by Summer Rose

A family emergency leads to a chance encounter and the heart pounding possibility of an awakening romance.

Clarissa

I wasn’t looking for anything.

I swear.

I’d moved back home and started my own business.

Life was simple, normal, until my sister wound up in the ER.

That’s when he came into my life and everything when off the rails.

Charming, older, and a doctor, he was one fine man.

Even if he is out of my league.

Jasper

Treating my neighbor in the emergency room was all part of the job.

Or so I thought.

Then her sister walked in and changed everything.

Stunning and alluring, Clarissa was everything I want in a woman.

She sets my heart racing and I know I have to have her.

We were meant to be together.

The trouble is, how do I break the ice and convince her of it?

What’s not to love about Our Little Secrets? Filled with passion, tension, and just the right amount of mischief, this series is quickly becoming a fan favorite.

This forbidden age-gap romance series hits all the right spots and keeps the heat turned up from the first page to the last.

Read this story if you love alpha heroes, strong heroines, laugh-out-loud humor, and most importantly steamy true love.
