Christmas in Rose Bend

Rose Bend, Book 2

By: Naima Simone

Narrated by: Mari Mari

"Simone balances crackling, electric love scenes with exquisitely rendered characters." (Entertainment Weekly)

The holidays have never been her thing. But Christmas in Rose Bend has more than one surprise in store....

Grieving ER nurse Nessa Hunt is on a road trip with her sullen teen half-sister, Ivy, and still reeling from her mother’s deathbed confession: Nessa’s dad wasn’t really her dad. Seeking answers, they arrive in Rose Bend to find a small town teeming with the kind of Christmas cheer Nessa usually avoids. But then she meets the innkeeper’s ruggedly sexy son, Wolfgang Dennison.

Wolf’s big, boisterous family is like a picture-perfect holiday card. Nessa has too much weighing on her to feel like she fits - even though the heat between her and Wolf is undeniable. And the merriment bringing an overdue smile to Ivy’s face is almost enough to make Nessa believe in the Christmas spirit. But with all her parental baggage, including lingering questions about her birth father, is there room in Nessa’s life for happy holidays and happily-ever-after?

All I Want For Christmas Is This

Christmas In Rose Bend

I LOVED this book❣️❣️❣️
I loved listening to it….
I bought the paperback.
I wanted to see the words written on the pages as I gently turned each page…
Then I bought another copy for my BFF❣️

The characters spoke to me in such a way that I felt like I was part of the neighborhood.
Wolf and Nessa’s pull to each other was satisfying and undeniable.
They orbited each other and just like gravity, there was little choice.
The descriptive manner in which the town was detailed was marvelous.

Naima Simone has crafted another masterpiece and Mari’s narration was superb!

Really Enjoyable

I love Ms. Simone's style of writing and I enjoyed this second book in the series. I thought the story dragged a little more than necessary, the characters issues were well defined early on and didn't require the constant lament. Still, I loved this book and highly recommend it. The bonus story was too short but enjoyable, those characters could use their own full Rose Bend tale.
