A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
5 out of 5 stars
A Tangy Christmas kiss is the second book in this series written by Allyson Abbott. Is a wonderful romantic holiday book. It weaves a story that has you laughing and feeling the magic and romance in others through the holidays. It also shows the importance of family and what you would do for family. The characters are amazing…. The plot is great and I love the description and details this author puts into her story/stories. They feel so believable that I had a hard time putting this book down.
Mel, gets a call from her mother requesting, that she flies to Spain to house sit for her aunt. To be honest, she’s glad for a change of scenery after recent turn of events with her latest boyfriend, and she is looking forward to Christmas in the sun, planning to spend many days on the beach. Let the fun begin.
The journey takes forever due to misunderstanding of the different timelines and consequently Mel misses her ‘handover’ of tasks and a lift from her aunt. Jetlag, lack of the Spanish language and having no knowledge of geography of Spain, all she has is her aunt’s address, a headache and an overwhelming urge to sleep.
While on her flight she meets an extremely sexy Spanish passenger who is seated next to her on her flight. He takes her under his wing to make sure she arrives safely and stays to help her out, even though he only speaks Spanish, so Mel has no idea what he is talking about. But hey, you can’t turn away a great looking man in your hour of need!
As things turn bad to worse, she now doubles up on handsome hero’s, as her aunt’s friendly (extremely gorgeous and English speaking) neighbor, decides that it is he, who should be helping, not the interloper from the airplane.
Mel should have question why her mother couldn’t go? Why her mother is never there when she calls? And why her aunts needs a house-sitter for a bungalow on the beach?
You need to read this awesome story and find out what happens to Mel and her men. Who will she pick can she even decide?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

This was such an enjoyable Christmas novel. I loved the setting for the story and it didn’t take me long at all to be completely swept up in Mel’s story. I really liked her character, she was a genuinely nice person and if it anything could happen to anyone then it definitely happened for her. There were some great laugh out loud moments and some very sweet romantic times too involving a sexy Spanish man! I loved the language barrier issues between them – some were quite funny!
This is definitely a heart-warming Christmas read – I have read work by this author previously and she never fails to entertain me with her wonderful story telling skills. I absolutely recommend this story for a nice read on a cold winter’s night!

I have to admit the title of this is odd and I had to wonder how in the world it would be relevant. Mel is having some seriously bad luck this holiday! One thing after another going wrong, a traveler’s worst nightmare, followed by a bunch of mishaps and surprises. But the shining light in it all is the budding romance between her and a completely non English-speaking sweet man. Well, there are two men there to help her out and it’s tough for her, confused and floundering in a strange country at Christmas. But the end is so holiday happy, over the top, happy ever after. Full of all things Christmas joy.

A great read about not meeting expectations. Mel would do anything for her mother. But when he mother asks her to go to Spain for her aunt completely out of the blue, she wonders if she’s taken it too far. After a frantic journey, she is helped by a plane passenger Lucas. But when a house full of farm animals awaits her, has she taken on too much?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Mel trying to do her best despite everything or Lucas kind nature but standing up for himself or Domingo’s stubborn side but kind underneath.
I loved the use of the Spanish language into the novel which was a brillaint touch to add to the culture and feel of the narrative. Also this with the food by Lucas as display of Spanish culture full of flavour was a lovely touch.
I also loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the Christmas tree in the airport or the sense of nature with the orchard with colours and scents and freshness as if you were there too. The only issue I would raise is that there was sometimes time jumps in the narrative that were hard to follow and it seemed slow to start. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

4 out of 5 stars
This book was beyond sweet. I love Christmas books. They give me all the warm, fuzzy feelings that make everything seem right in the world. This is book 2 in a four book series by this author. Our main gal, Mel, flies to Spain to house sit for her Aunt at her mom’s request. She is beyond confused as to why her own mother cannot do this, but since she plans on spending her days relaxing on the beach, she goes without hesitation.
After a very funny, series of not so unfortunate events, Mel finds herself at the mercy of the very sexy, non-English speaking Spanish stranger. Once she finally gets to her Aunt’s house, nothing is how she remembers it. Everything has changed and she has a whole lot that she needs to take care of. So much for lounging away her Christmas holiday on the beach.
This is such a sweet holiday romance novel. You can read it all in one sitting. I know I did. This author does such a great job creating a book where the story is vivid and the characters are lovable and unique. Easily a 4 star book.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the 2nd book in the Christmas Kiss series from author Allyson R Abbott. Even though these books are a part of series, they can be read as a stand-alone, but personally after enjoying each one of these you would want to read them all. This is my second read from this author and once again I was totally captivated by her writing style, her characters, and the brilliant storyline she has once again created. She has brilliant in depth writing, she makes her reads descriptive and I can’t wait to read some other books from her.

This book is a heart-warming, humour filled and romantic with incredible characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. For this not being an exceptionally long length novel I didn’t feel as though it was rushed, it was well written, easy, romantic read and I was captivated from the beginning. I loved following Mel’s journey in this read, and loved reading her developing connection with Lucas, they had a brilliant connection that I was glad that I got to follow along with!

Each one of these reads, seems to get better and better and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one. I highly recommend this read to all!

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott. This is the story of Mel who is sent to Spain to take care of her aunt’s home during the holidays. On her trip, she meets Lucas. The two have an instant connection despite a major language barrier. On her house sitting Mel discovers that there is much she does not know about her aunt.
This is a sweet, romantic read. I enjoyed that it was a quick read and with an uplifting story. The characters are sweet and there is a bit of innocence to them. The story just flows and I didn’t want to put it down. I had to find out if everything worked out for Mel. I also enjoyed the importance of family and how they all played a part in the story. I look forward to reading more in the series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the 2nd in the four book series by Allyson R. Abbott. While I have read the first book, they are unrelated stories and can be read as a standalone. The book is about Melanie (Mel) and her crazy Christmas adventure. She gets a sudden, urgent request from her mother to go to Spain to take care of her aunt, after a surgery. Upon arriving at the airport, she gets some bad news, and has a big decisions to make. She takes the plunge and boards the plane anyway, and thus begins a series of awkward situations. She soon finds herself in a country she cant speak the language, and is in way over her head. She must rely on two strangers to get her through the next couple of weeks.
I had a hard time figuring out where the book was going, as there is so much unknown until the very end. Typically I like a good mystery romance, but I wasn’t as hooked on this book as I was book 1. It is a cute story and there are some funny parts. I liked seeing what became of Mel and her two Spanish men. Overall it was still a good book, and I will continue the series to see if book 3 wins me back.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
This book is a fun and lovable holiday romance about a woman trying to help out her family. It isn’t as straight forward as it should be and hilarity soon follows.
I really enjoyed this book because it was one of those stories that you could easily just lose yourself in for a few hours. You can turn off reality and just enjoy a well written and entertaining story.
The main character Mel was delightful to read about. She takes everything in her stride – even though everything is going wrong. I liked how, despite it being an odd request, she still helps out her family.
This was a great book and a good addition to the series.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series by Allyson R. Abbott. It is a sweet holiday romance that confirms that anything that can go wrong- will! There is hilarity, funny antics, language barriers, challenges, romance, and endearing characters. There was a lot more to this story than it may seem from first appearances. Melanie (Mel) had me intrigued right from the first page, as I followed her on her story. From the moment she gets the call from her mother asking her to look after her aunts’ home while her aunt is in hospital- everything that could go wrong certainly does. Her promise to her mother takes her on a mad-cap journey that throws her right out of her comfort zone, leaving her feeling a little lost and vulnerable. But what happens when a sexy stranger comes to her aid? Yes, there might be a serious language barrier, but he seems to want to help her non-the-less. Will she be desperate enough to let a complete stranger help her? What happens when he sees her to her destination? Mel is unprepared for everything that’s about to happen, once she arrives at her aunts. What will the future hold? All this and more can be discovered be reading this delightful story…
Ms. Abbott has such a wonderfully descriptive, warm, and inviting style to her writing. Her stories always draw me in and keep me engaged the whole way through. They are so easy to read and always leave feeling good- as this story did.
This may be a story set around Christmas and the holidays, but it is a lovely story that deserves to be read, and enjoyed, at any time of the year!

Thank you yet again, Ms. Abbott!!

A Tangy Christmas Kiss Allyson R. Abbott is a captivating christmas romance. It is a short read but it hits all the marks. It is a sweet story that was entertaining and engaging and will make you laugh. It really was a comedy of errors from start to finish.

Mel can’t say no to her mum and this is where she finds herself on a trip of a lifetime. Or is it? Tired, different countries, a different language and a menagerie, yep, she is in over her head and anything that can go wrong definitely does.

Looking for a little something to relax for a few hours then grab a copy and enjoy.

I give A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott, 4stars.

Mel’s mother calls right before Christmas and talks her into a big favor — to go to Spain to help out her aunt who is having surgery. She agrees, but little does she know just what she’s in for. After too many days of travelling, and too many layovers, she misses the ride her aunt provided for her. She is alone and helpless in a country where she doesn’t know the language. Relying on the help of strangers, she finally makes it to her aunt’s. But it is nothing like she remembered as a child. She now has a lot to take care of and and she doesn’t even know where to begin. Can she do this?

This a nice, fun little Christmas romance book. Not very long, it can be read in one sitting. Mel is a good main character, trying to deal with things she has never encountered before. The story itself is new and interesting too. Being out of your element, especially at Christmas, is quite hard. But she endures because this is family. This story will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between.

If you like fun Christmas romances, this book is for you.

Feliz Navidad, indeed…”

I love this time of year (November & December) because all the delightful Christmas stories come out.

A TANGY CHRISTMAS KISS is the perfect blend of tang and sweetness. This sweet holiday romance is filled with humor and courtship. It’s a short story that can be absolutely read in one sitting. This is one of those stories that I could see being made into a movie on one of those channels that run sweet movies all holiday season long.

I always enjoy Allyson R Abbott’s stories and this one is no different.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss
By: Allyson R. Abbott
5 out of 5 stars

The story A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a wonderful romantic holiday book. It weaves a story that has you laughing in some parts and feeling the magic and romance in others. The importance of family is highlighted. It a book I loved reading and didn’t want to put down until I finished the last page. I loved reading about the character of Mel. She is on her way to Spain, which is a last-minute request from her mother to watch her aunt’s home while she is in the hospital. From the very beginning things begin to happen in which causes her frustration and with the jet lag, she feels like she just wants to lay down and sleep. The lack of her speaking the Spanish language is another hurdle that she has. She does find herself being helped by a very handsome man who was seated next to her on the flight. While she may not know what he is saying she can’t say no to his assistance. How far will this stranger go out of his way to help Mel? What happens when she finally gets to her aunt’s home? Will she continue to see the attractive man that has assisted her? Read this story to find out. Mel goes through some very overwhelming situations. I could empathize with her and the situations that she finds herself in. This story had me with a smile on my face and with a heartwarming feeling. Christmas is a magical time of year and when reading about Mel I couldn’t help but hope it would be that way for her. This is an amazing story with wonderful characters. I highly recommend reading it.

This is a Christmas romance story that warmed my heart while at times heartbreaking. This is a story about a woman who travels to Spain to take care of her Aunt’s house, in the process she meets Lucas. Their story kept me engaged and I enjoyed the creativeness of the story itself. The chemistry between Mel and Lucas is strong and they are sweet characters that made the story flow. I highly recommend this sweet-warm Christmas story.

#1 International Bestselling and Award-Winning Author (fiction and non-fiction) A Blooming Boomer who loves life on the road, making new friends and meeting great people. Life in the slow lane!

After a few full-on years of travelling, which included a year and a half checking out New Zealand, a few Pacific islands, Australia and South Africa, 15months driving around the USA in a motorhome, some quick few weeks visit to Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Spain, Allyson and her husband have now decided to pull over onto the hard shoulder for a while and have settled on the Valencian Province in Spain. Life is rich, according to Allyson, but the pocket is empty and she needed time to focus on her writing. It is very easy to get distracted when you see so many beautiful places.

The last twelve months have seen three new nonfiction books; all to help authors write, publish and promote their books, thirteen short sexy reads penned as Cyra May and three new Christmas stories all to be published in 2018

Of course being locked in a room and chained to a desk, did not help top up her sun tan, but at least Allyson was very productive.
