ABOUT HOLIDAY WISHES (a Heartbreaker Bay novella)
It’s Christmastime again in Heartbreaker Bay!
When Sean O’Riley shows up at the Hartford Bed & Breakfast for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, he’s just hoping to make it through the weekend. What he’s not expecting is to come face to face with the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago—a woman he’s never really forgotten.
The last time Lotti Hartford saw Sean, she told him she loved him while he said nothing. Now, ten years later, she’s just looking for a good time. For once, she wants to be the wild and free one, and Sean – the good time guy – is the perfect candidate.
But as the weekend continues, Sean realizes that after a lifetime of being the hook-up king, he’s ready to find happily-ever-after, and he wants it with Lotti. But will she open her heart to him again? As Christmas sweeps through the little B&B, he can only hope love and magic are in the air.

At the empathetic tone in Sean’s voice,
Lotti’s heart and stomach and head all clenched in unison. “What do you mean
you can’t give me what I want?” she asked. “All you have to do is walk away.”
“Tried that already,” he said. “And it
was the biggest mistake of my life.” He brought her hand up to his mouth and
met her gaze over their entwined hands.
He was looking at her like . . .
well, she wasn’t sure what was going on in his head, but her
thoughts were racing along with her pulse.
“You’re incredible, Lotti. I hope you
know that.” Very slowly, clearly giving her time to object, he pulled her into
him.
Her breath caught at the connection and
his eyes heated in response as he slid a hand up her spine and then back down
again, pressing her in tight to him from chest to thighs and everywhere in
between. His nose was cold at the crook of her neck, but his breath was warm
against her skin. She felt his lips press against the sensitive spot just
behind her ear and she shivered. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice low. “Are
you cold?”
“No,” she whispered. Try the opposite of
cold . . .
“Nervous?”
“No.” Not even close. The way his mouth
moved across her skin was making her warm all over. Not that she could
articulate that with his body pressed to hers and his fingers dancing over her
skin. She was literally quivering as the memories of what it felt like to be
touched by him washed over her, as if no time at all had gone by.
Yes, she’d let him think that their time
together had sucked for her. But it hadn’t. Not even close. That long-ago night
he’d evoked feelings and a hunger in her that she’d never forgotten. “I’ve just
had a long day,” she said.
“I know. I’m going to make it better.” He
pressed a kiss at the juncture of her jaw and ear before he made his way to her
lips for a slow, hot kiss, his mouth both familiar and yet somehow brand-new.
She was so far gone that when he pulled back she protested with a moan, but he
held her tight, staring down at her with heated eyes. “Just checking,” he
murmured.
“Checking what?”
“That you want this as badly as I do.”
Jill Shalvis certainly knows hopes to write a novella that goes with the holiday season, Christmas is a magical time of year and Holiday Wishes is a magical read.
I have only read 2 books in the Heartbreaker Bay series and both were the Christmas stories, to be honest it really didn’t matter that I hadn’t read the previous books because I was captivated and drawn into the magic and I now need to read the other books.
This book may be short but it still has everything you want from a romance, it’s a second chance love story with plenty of holiday cheer, it will steal a piece of your heart and what can I say about the ending apart from it was perfect.
If you love Christmas and Romance you will want to one click Holiday Wishes.
If you love Christmas and Romance you will want to one click Holiday Wishes.
What's not to love? It's the most magical time of the year and also happens to be my most favourite holiday. I love any story that is centred on Christmas; it’s a time for family and friends to get together.
I would say if you haven’t read the other books in the Heartbreaker Bay series I would do so prior to reading Holiday Wishes, but that is just my opinion.
This is a Christmas Novella from the Heartbreaker Bay series and a quick read which will get you in to the mood for the holiday season. Holiday wishes is a heart warming second chance at love story.
When Sean returns home for his older brother’s bachelor party all he wants is to survive the weekend. He has become tired of his casual hookups and is learning that he may well want to settle down. Imagine his shock when he sees Lotti, the women who told him 10 years ago that she loved him but who now wants to hook up for a night or two with no strings attached; how the tables have turned.
Can the magic of Christmas bring Sean and Lotti together? Or will they be destined to pass in the night ?
I received a copy of this book through the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
