The Greeting Card Girl's Christmas | A.C. Cargill | Sweet Christmas Romance (N)
Stacy Frost lives her life upside down, shutting out Christmas to focus on card designs for June. On Black Friday, she meets up with Uber driver Jack Anjill who loves Christmas and has his car decked out to show it. Over the next month, she tries to avoid him and his car, but every time she needs a ride, he shows up. While she struggles to keep her focus and meet her deadlines, her attraction to Jack grows, much to the dismay of her mother who wants Stacy to rekindle her romance with a local college professor. Winter weather in eastern Colorado and Jack’s habit of forgetting to charge his electric car all steer Stacy toward a way to turn her life right side up.

When Trees Fall: Book One of the Wood and Water Saga | Dale Mahfood | Historical (N) (I) (F)
Cailin is a naïve, adventure-seeking girl living in a Jamaican Great House. Archie is a teenage boy with a chip on his shoulder. Sharpe is a young man with divided loyalties, living as an outsider in a poor hillside village. Yet, all three long for the same thing—a father’s approval. But the man who has the power to give it to them won’t…or can’t. Behind his back, his property workers call him a tyrant for allegedly murdering a worker in the past, and his family walks on eggshells when he returns home from his drunken visits with his mistress. All while Cailin, Archie, and Sharp’s unfulfilled desires spiral into rejection, mistaken affections, and murder. Set in a seaside village during the final year of World War II and Jamaica’s first general election, When Trees Fall is the first novel in Dale Mahfood’s Wood and Water series. If you enjoy well-drawn, relatable characters and a compelling story you don’t want to put down, you’ll love this first installment in Dale Mahfood’s series.
