A snowstorm, a ghost, and a mystery, oh my! Making Merry drew me in quickly, and I couldn't put it down! Mind you, I have a hard time resisting Romance novels (or, in this case, novellas) with a main character who is a ghost. The possibilities for resolution are practically endless.

Book Review: The Rocking Horse by Holly Newman
Need a little seasonal romance to lift your holiday spirits? The Rocking Horse was just that for me! I'm always amazed when a novella can pull me in as deeply as a novel, and this one truly did.
