Eleven-year-old Lori finds herself all alone just before Christmas, longing for a home, a family, and maybe a real Christmas, too. But is Christmas even real, or is it just another fairy tale? When a stranger turns up on her doorstep offering to help her, can she trust his kindness?

As the title would imply, this is a very sweet, gentle contemporary romance that is great to read on a relaxing day with a cup of tea in your hands. (Or, if you want to keep with the story and you like coffee, some type of very sweet coffee.)

Wow, I had no clue there was an actual Indie Author Day until a few days ago. But I will take any chance I get to talk about some of my favorite authors and books! The vast majority of indie books I’ve read are extremely well-done and deserve just as much publicity as any traditionally published books. In fact, since indie publishing gives authors much more freedom than traditional, indie books are usually more creative and hard-hitting. So if you’re new to indie authors, give them a try! The sheer variety of indie books is epic – as you will see in just a second.

Ella Pursued by Hannah Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such a sweet story! From the very first page, this one was just warm and welcoming. I loved the environment of Joe and Ella’s church! And despite this being a short story, I connected especially with Ella. No spoilers here, but I’m glad everything turned out as it did for her. Joe was a great character, too – just what Ella needed. He was a wise guy!
