NEW RELEASE….
Will her cat ruin her Christmas chance for love?
Bella Tallahan has always hidden behind her twin sister, Tally. She was born with cerebral palsy and even though she has finished college, she lives vicariously through her sister’s adventures.
It worked, until her sister married writer Lucky Lenigan, and Bella developed a crush on Lucky’s brother—a bad boy with a shady past.
Chance Martin made one mistake growing up—one that landed him in prison. After his release, he spends his days restoring antique furniture and his nights alone.
When Mr. Klutz, Bella’s fat tabby cat, wreaks havoc in the furniture workshop, Chance confronts Bella and finds himself with a dilemma. He’s not the right kind of guy for a woman with disabilities, but at the same time, he can’t get her out of his mind.
Will the trail of destruction left by one naughty cat bring Bella her Christmas chance for love? Can Chance rise above his past and convince Bella that she is truly worth loving? Or will the secret he is keeping horrify Bella enough to send her back into hiding?
Author’s Note: Although part of the Christmas Creek Romance Series, Her Christmas Chance is a complete and standalone story. Bella Tallahan appears in a previous story, Lucky in Laguna, where her sister Tally Tallahan meets and falls in love with Lucky Lenigan.

Review: I'm not usually a big reader of romance novels, but this author has a knack for writing holiday stories which tug at my heart, so I was excited to read this one. Once again, she does not disappoint.
It's not often that a romance novel has a heroine like Bella. She was born with cerebral palsy and her family has always made her feel "less than" in most situations. When her twin sister got married, she met the groom's brother, Chance, who seemed to actually enjoy spending time with her, and she definitely enjoyed spending time with him. When they all started living near one another, however, things got complicated. Chance spent years in prison for something no one in his family wants to talk about, and Bella's cat seems to have a vendetta against Chance and the furniture he is restoring.
When Chance and Bella begin a relationship, her family is determined to keep her "safe," which is more smothering her. Will secrets and overprotection--and a nasty cat--come between the couple, or will they find their happy ending?
I love that this story makes the reader think, and perhaps confront some of our own presumptions about people with disabilities. It has some intense emotional moments, plenty of humor, and even a bit of "magic"---in other words, something for everyone.
I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.
Rating: Four stars

Deck the Hearts (A Christmas Creek Romance Book 1)
Opposites attract and sparks fly in the delightful small town of Christmas Creek.
Holly Jolly lives for Christmas. It’s the only time of the year, as far as she’s concerned.
Gordon Gills doesn’t need a reason to hate the holiday season. He doesn’t see the point.
Gordon returns to the mansion he inherited and finds Holly making a mess with her Christmas decorations. Unfortunately, his great-aunt’s will stipulates that he must make merry every Christmas if he wants to keep his inheritance.
Holly is determined to infect the grouchy Gordon with every dose of Christmas cheer she can muster and show him what Christmas is really about.
Will Gordon prevail and turn Holly into a Grinch, or will a sprinkling of Christmas magic show Gordon that there’s no fighting love, especially when it’s wrapped up in a gorgeous redheaded package of jolly holly?
