I was probably a little too excited when I saw CA King was releasing a holiday themed romance novel, but this book did not disappoint! I love CA King’s paranormal and sci-fi works so this was a gamble not really having any of those components included in it but this book rocked was the perfect way to kick off my holiday season. I grabbed some chai tea and curled up with my fav Christmas albums and dove right in. High Heels and Mistletoe brings us the story of Julietta and her slight cursed self with mistletoe. Of course in the holiday season mistletoe is everywhere and thus we have some some funny and interesting complications arise. The underlying romance story was fun and believable to follow. I found myself rooting for the happy ever after moment pretty early on in the story. I found myself cracking up at the witty humor as I followed the sweet romance that made me want to fall in love all over again this holiday season. I can’t wait to see what we may get next from the ever talented CA King.

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Liz Vrchota
High Heels and Mistletoe by C.A. King is a totally sweet Christmas story! I so enjoyed reading this book!
Julietta is not exactly a big fan of Christmas. She can’t quite be blamed. Her family does not have a good track record with mistletoe. Julietta has it down to a science though as long as she takes her vacation the same time each year. This year may be a challenge. She’s now working on the biggest deal her firm has had and it’s looking like that vacation might not happen. Luke happens to love the holidays and is really opposite Julietta for all intents and purposes. Luke never really wanted a relationship but the more time he spends with Julietta he’s rethinking everything. Will Julietta get over her dislike of the holidays and let the magic of the season work it’s charms?
This was such a sweet story, I couldn’t put it down! I couldn’t relate with Julietta 100% because I love Christmas but as the story went on, I could see she was warming up to it a bit. Definitely worth a read!

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Angelina Frazzini
This was a lovely festive romance that really puts you in the mood for Christmas.
Julietta doesn’t like Christmas. She never gets into the spirit of it and normally goes on holiday over Christmas. She has one major problem with it. She is allergic to mistletoe.
Luke loves Christmas. He loves everything about it and all the meanings behind it. When he meets Julietta he is looking for a date. He never imagined that he would find his soul mate.
Can Luke teach Julietta about the magic of Christmas? Can he prove to her they are meant to be together? Or will it all be for nothing just a show of glitter and fairy lights.

High Heels And Mistletoe by C.A. King is a sweet holiday romance story. But don’t let that fool you there is a touch of supernatural tucked up in there. An ancient curse surrounding mistletoe and trouble makes the yule tide holidays hell for our heroine. Humour ensues as we watch an unlikely pair find romance and Christmas magic. This story will make you laugh and give you the warm and fuzzies.

5 great Novellas to get you in the Christmas spirit full of love, family and cheer. Reading this has made me even more excited for Christmas and i am definitely going to read more from this author. I cant choose a favourite story as they are all amazing and all have something different about them.
This is an okay read. I really wanted to love it as I enjoy all things Christmas….especially the books. This just seems to hit me wrong on a couple different areas. Luke seemed like an over eager puppy instead of a playboy or more mature. Maybe some insight to his thoughts in the beginning would have helped me with that. I really didn’t really *feel* anything for the characters.
Overall the story rolls along nicely. His grand gesture is simply wonderful. The cute romance story is a different Christmas idea. Julietta is a sassy character with a great family history and a little problem with mistletoe.

High Heels And Mistletoe is by C. A. KING a romance novel. It is a love introduced to the romance genre. Luke and Juliette are thrown together under some circumstances. An attraction between both that cannot be denied what does this hold for these two. I real felt for these two character you felt as if you were a fly on the wall watching the story unfold. This is a great feel good book which makes you feel fuzzy great for these cold nights in.

High Heels and Mistletoe is a great Christmas story with a touch of Magic by C.A. King. Julietta and Luke are great characters. Juliette who is really good at her job, but stays as far away from Christmas, and Luke is a playboy to the max, until he meets Julietta. This is a fun relaxing story. It is one of my favorite books by Ms. King. It really put me into the spirit of Christmas.

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Sunday Barnaby
High Heels and Mistletoe is a great book to kick off the holiday season. It revolves around the magic of Christmas and a little bit of magical curses. Julietta is a hard working woman with an aversion to Christmas. She usually spends the holiday in a tropical location…and she is ready to leave on this year’s vacation. Unfortunately, she can’t leave until she closes the deal on the Winslow account. Luke Winslow is not making it easy and her vacation is non-refundable. Luke Winslow is a rich playboy that embraces everything that the Christmas season entails. He is also out to find a date to his family’s Christmas Eve party that will make up for the debacle of last year. When he crosses paths with Julietta, she intrigues him from the beginning. When he finds out she is in charge of his account, he tries to woo her while hanging signing the deal over her head. What ensues is a little bit of romance, quite a bit of humor, some personal growth, and a whole lot of Christmas magic. I enjoyed Julietta and Luke’s characters. They both evolved in their own way throughout the book. I devoured this book in one sitting because I couldn’t step away. I needed to know how it would all end up…and I was not disappointed. This is a good book to get into the holiday season.

Absolute must read! I was hooked in the first chapter and could not put the book down. I love the way that C. A. King writes and how well the story flows. I am a sucker for holiday romances and this one is no exception! The author jumps right into the story and keeps you reading to see what happens next between Luke and Julietta. I highly recommend High Heels and Mistletoe for a feel good romance. I can’t wait to read more from King!

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Carla Clemmons
Dreaming of Christmas by Joanne Dannon was a really good read! This is a short collection of five different short Christmas stories, each one connected in some way with the next. The storylines of each one was similar, but also different in their own way, if that makes sense, with all of them being very good to read. My only complaint, was some of the stories had timelines that didn’t make sense. Time wasn’t established well, and events happened that didn’t make much sense in a time frame point of view. But I enjoyed all the characters in the various stories. They were very well written, and while they are romance stories, they are not explicit at all. Very sweet stories to read at this time of year!
Oh I loved this set of Christmas novellas; they were all so lovely and heart-warming to read. Absolutely perfect for curling up with on a cold night! Each story had wonderful main characters that I fell in love with straight away. They were all really well written and perfect for just grabbing as they are so easy to get into. I loved that I could just put it down and pick up again and start a new novella. Although they were novellas they were all crammed full of story, romance, fun times and more! I definitely recommend this book and I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
I LOVED this book so, so much! It was a great read! I really like this author, I’ve read quite a few books of hers and I think she’s doing a fabulous job with writing in multiple genres! I highly recommend her books to everybody! High Heels and Mistletoe was a great holiday read (also my favourite types of read!) I love the setting for the story, I loved the characters, in fact I honestly just loved everything about it! I loved Julietta, she was so much fun to read about and Luke – book boyfriend material right there! I loved the interaction between the two of them, it made for great reading! If you’re looking for a holiday read then I 100% recommend High Heels and Mistletoe!

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Katie Matthews
This a book of five complete Christmas romance stories. Each story brings spirit and is written with a lot of heart and soul. They each inspire hope, faith and love that will stick with you. Each story takes a magical Christmas Kiss to a new level. They have characters that bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there with them. I had no problems connecting with them as they brought each story to life. These stories and characters warmed my heart and I found myself hoping that each couple would find their Christmas HEAs. My favorite was Christmas Kiss, A New Year’s Wish. This is a story of friendship turns relationship. Taylor has a crush on her best friend Luca. Will one kiss change everything for them? Can you keep something that just maybe wasn’t yours to start with? I highly recommend this book. It certainly made my afternoon warmer.

I loved this Christmas romance story which has a paranormal touch to it as well. This is one of my favorites yet from this author. One of the things I love most about this author is her writing skills and her attention to details that makes the stories realistic. This book is no different. I was pulled in by Juliette and Luke. They made great characters which made the story easy to read and entertaining. Juliette goes on vacation at the same time every year but this year there is an obstacle in her way, Luke. He is attracted to her right from the start. Will the spirit of Christmas bring these two together? This story is full of romance, magic and comedy. I highly recommend this fast paced, engaging story.

High Heels And Mistletoe (Kisses Under The Mistletoe) By C.A. King 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book High Heels And Mistletoe (Kisses Under The Mistletoe) by C.A. King. It is a holiday story that made me smile and laugh, as well as giving me that warm feeling that the holidays are all about. I love the characters of Julietta Romero and Luke Winslow. Julietta is a woman who is intelligent, independent, and has a problem when mistletoe is around. She finds herself having to close a deal for the company she works for before she can take her vacation. It is then that she meets Luke. Luke is a man that has a reputation. He isn’t one to consider a relationship longer than one night. Then he meets Julietta. There is an attraction between them that can’t be denied. What does the future hold for Julietta and Luke? Read this book to find out. This is a story that will get you in the holiday spirit while also giving you reasons to laugh along the way. I grew to care about what happens to Luke and Julietta with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I rooted for them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about all of the additional characters and how they interacted with Julietta and Luke. The author does an amazing job of making the story come alive and I found myself not wanting to put the book down until the final page. Don’t miss out on a story that is entertaining and has moments that will touch your heart. I highly recommend reading it.

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Laura Furuta
Call it an allergy or a family curse, either way it boiled down to the same problem: Julietta Romero couldn’t go within six feet of mistletoe.
Forty-eight weeks, from January to the beginning of December, were spent filling the position as a top executive at a prestigious marketing firm—a five-year running record without a single incident. As long as she continued taking all her vacation hours all at the same time, nothing would change. Then, the worst scenario happened: with only a handful of days left before her flight, she found herself working round the clock on the firm’s biggest deal yet, and her boss wasn’t letting her leave until it was signed, sealed, and delivered.
Luke Winslow was in love with women, parties, and the holidays, and not necessarily in that order. Taking over one of his father’s companies didn’t fit into any of his plans, nor did a relationship that lasted longer than a roll in the sheets. There wasn’t a single person who had made him want to settle down and be serious, that was until she fell into his arms… several times. Now, he’ll do anything possible to stop her from escaping his charms, including holding off putting his John Hancock on the business deal his father instructed him to close.
It’s up to the magic of the season to bring this unlikely couple together with a little help from a pair of High Heels and Mistletoe.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story is a love story at heart. It is also very thought provoking regarding immigration, human trafficking, and other issues on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border. Ms. McGahan not only writes about the border conflicts and issue, she also add details of the beautiful desert scenery of the desert. The story sucked me in from the beginning. The story shares so many aspects of life – heartache, cultural diversity, the strength of unconditional love, and so much more.

REBECCA STEELE FINDING THE DREAM (REBECCA STEELE SERIES Book 2) by Joanne Patterson
This book was so entertaining. It kept me turning the pages wanting to know what would happen next. I couldn’t help myself but root for Becky while she goes through all of the ups and downs of life in pursuit of her dreams. There are also other wonderful characters in this story. This can be read as a standalone but it is my suggestion that you read book one first for a better experience. The author does a great job making you feel like you are right in this story. The author gets you completely invested in the story. I highly recommend this book.

The Walls Between Us by Kate McGahan was a well written book. This is the first book I have read by this author. I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself into when I started reading the book. It definitely wasn’t something I’ve read previously. There were a lot of real issues going on in the book. Things we go through on a daily basis. Some people choose not to talk about these things because it turns into a political thing but the struggle is real. I liked most of the characters. I was left with a lot of questions. The love story between Benito and Sarah had me asking why…but as they stated many times in the book they felt they were soulmates. I feel the book was hard to finish for me because I wasn’t interested in the subject however, I cannot give a bad review because of my preferences. I feel the author did a great job with writing and explaining the story!

I have read a couple of books from this author and she always exceeds my expectations. This is the second book of the Rebecca Steele series.I was so happy that we got to continue Becky’s journey. I love a good small town romance but this author blew my mind. You will fall in love with these characters all over again. I could not put this book down until the very end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.
Becky is now living the country life. She loves living in Tennessee so she can focus more on my country music career. Becky starts realizing that her friendship could turn into something more. She is happy with her life and with her best friend by her side she can feel like she can do anything. When Becky gets thrown a curve ball she is going to have a hard choice to make. Will she make the decision that her heart wants or will she choose the safer option?

This book is more than your average romance book, although it is most definitely filled with love. The words from the book stayed with me long after I’d finished reading. The book starts with Vivianna, who is looking to cross the border between Mexico and the USA with her husband, with the dream of starting a new life. When her husband is killed,Vivianna barely has time to grieve before she finds herself thrown into a new turmoil. Sarah is looking for freedom of a different kind, when she is given a new opportunity she jumps at the chance, and more adventure awaits her as she falls in love. These women have different goals and opportunities, but the ‘walls’ they both face change their lives forever. I really enjoyed this story. It was a love story of a different kind filled with pain, fear and, ultimately, hope. The story moves at a fast pace, I bet if I read it again I will find new details I may have missed. This is my first read by this author, but I will definitely look out for more stories in the future.

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan. This is a great read about romance in two different worlds and the things they have to do to survive. Its the story of Sarah who is an up and coming attorney from New York and Benito who is a photojournalist fleeing the Mexican Drug cartel. Sarah moves to the American side of Mexico to open a branch of her law firm. She meets Benito and they fall in love but the cultural differences may rip them apart. Sarah falls in love with Benito and Mexico at the same time but see some very dark things and she wants to help. Drug and human trafficking are very real on the other side of the wall that Benito and Sarah live on. Benito is trying to flee from the drug aspect and Sarah wants to help with the human trafficking. The way Mrs. McGahan describes the scenery of Mexico and Arizona makes you fall in love with it and feel like you are actually there. She also describes the horror and fear people trying to make it across the wall face in a way that you actually want to cry. This book will grab your heartstrings and you will not want to put it down. Read The Walls Between Us to find out if Benito and Sarah can break the emotional, physical and spiritual walls down to have a life together.

4 stars! Good story, characters and read. This book can be read as a standalone, although after reading it, I want to go back and read the first book. In this story, Becky is living her dream life, riding horses and singing, and along for the ride is her best friend Emily. The introduction of the love interest Chance is sweet, anyone could tell that he likes Becky, but who is he really? The romance and obstacles the main character faces are all nicely written into the story, along with a nice twist, makes this story a short and fun read.

REBECCA STEELE FINDING THE DREAM (REBECCA STEELE SERIES) Book 2 by Joanne Patterson 4 out of 5 stars Western Romances are very much a hit or miss for me. I feel that the genre has died and that they can often be replaced with the much more exciting world of YA, or Sci-Fi, however, I can eat my words when it comes to the writings of Patterson. Patterson brings the world of Western Romance back to life. The characters of both Becky and Emily warm the heart in such a way that even the darkest soul can feel the hearth burning. Becky is back in the world and adventuring on her own, with Emily there to support everything that she does and laughs along the way. This is a quick read, which I really appreciate, as I rarely have the luxury to sit and indulge in a long read anymore and the chapters were quick and efficient with details and information. Lovers of young adult, women empowerment and coming of age will love this book. 4 out of 5 stars.

Rebecca Steel Finding the Dream is book two in the Rebecca Steel series by Joanne Patterson. I have yet to read book one, but I definitely will now. I don’t feel as though I needed to beforehand, I still very much enjoyed this story.
Becky is, of course, the star of the show in this story, but you get to meet some other wonderful characters along the way. Beckys life is going better than she could have thought. Her dreams of being a country singer are becoming more real, and she’s working hard to be a success. Her relationship with her boyfriend is going from strength to strength, even with a few curve balls thrown their way. Life isn’t always sweet, but Becky works hard and you are rooting for her to get her happy ending. There is so much packed into this story that at times I found it hard to keep up, although I usually favour stories that are more descriptive. You meet so many characters and have so many adventures that at times I would have to stop and retrace my steps slightly. However, this is a lovely, heartwarming read and it was the perfect accompaniment to a sunny afternoon in the garden.

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
I was pulled into this story from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I reached the end. This story was beautifully written rich in detail and emotion. There is love, danger, forgiveness, romance and more. This book also touches on human trafficking and it opened my eyes and made me think. As you read you realize how much these characters’ lives intertwine in ways you wouldn’t have guessed. This is the first time I have read anything from this author and I find myself wanting to read more. This author did an exceptional job writing this story tastefully and yet showing you some of the dangers and complexity of the border. I absolutely loved reading this book and I highly recommend it. I cannot wait to read what’s next.

This book is an emotional roller coaster ride of a love story across the border of US and Mexico, between two people with two completely different personalities and outlooks. It is a very intense read and keeps the reader hooked to the book till the very end. Two different perspectives, one can see the beauty of the border and marvel at the sight, or weep bitterly when we understand the complexities of the lives of people who are affected by it. The impact runs deep, sometimes a little dark, but truth is always hard hitting. I am a huge fan of historic fiction. This was the first time I am reading this piece of history and it was a huge revelation for me. The book is highly educational and poignant at many places when it deals with issues of human trafficking of the victims along the border. I sincerely believe that a good book, transforms a reader to a better human. These types of books have to be promoted, and I sincerely wish the book and the author all the success.
