Caitlyn Lloyd has the world at her feet. Or more accurately - under her horse’s hooves. With the 2016 Rio Olympics just around the corner, nothing is going to derail her long-held dream of winning a medal or two in Olympic dressage. Not even the reappearance of a childhood so-not-a-friend throwing her perfectly balanced life into disarray. Addie Gardner’s career is at its peak, and accepting a last-minute fill-in position as the veterinarian for the US Olympic Dressage Team was a no-brainer. The fact that her old crush from Pony Club is on the team is just a bonus.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 89
Cursing the familial obligation that sent her into the path of a blizzard, Jackie Frakes is deeply grateful for rescue on a snow-choked mountain road, even if her rescuer's reception is as cold as the landscape. Leah Beck spends her days in a twilight of grief, actively avoiding all reminders of her former life as an artist whose work was exhibited nationwide. A houseguest for Thanksgiving is disruptive and painful, and the last thing she wanted. The snowbound weekend leaves them with an unforgettable, undeniable attraction that challenges their personal and professional commitments.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 71
Zoey Cohen spent a lifetime learning to hide disappointment and loss behind a mask of unshakeable calm and control, even when her longtime friend-with-benefits lover moves on for true love. Declan Black returns to Philadelphia Medical Center after an accident costs her the life she’d built and her career. Zoey will never accept second place in matters of the heart, even when her rival is a career, and Dec has nothing left to give. Sometimes change is a force more powerful than will.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 270
Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her small hometown of Pine Springs, Texas, when she was 17, sent away because she was gay. Fifteen years later - long after she'd hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, put herself through college, and had written her first best seller - Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father's death. The quick trip she'd envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father's business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie's first crush.

If there’s one thing Brooke Sullivan knows for sure is that people let you down, but that hasn’t stopped her from going after the life she wants. In a new city, with a new job and a new start as a high-end real estate agent, she’s finally back on her feet. The last thing she needs is a distraction. Not her volatile neighbors, not a damn stray cat, and certainly not the flaky, infuriatingly adorkable girl-next-door property stager she has to work with.

Scholar and award-winning author Faith Fitzgerald has every reason to be happy: a wealthy, charming man who adores her and a family cheering her marriage prospects. But from the moment she meets Eric's sister, Sydney Van Allen, she knows her safe, predictable feelings for him are a shadow of what could be. Openly lesbian and running for senator, Sydney can only succeed if she can live down her wild past. That means no liaisons, especially with the achingly alluring woman on her brother's arm who looks at her with confusion - and desire.

They don't always agree but they find ways to comfort and encourage each other. Karin Kallmaker give a reading that touches the heart with a story that fills the soul.

My favorite holiday novella just got even better! KK released it in audiobook read by herself! I bought it the moment it came out, downloaded it and read it, well listened to it immediately. Loved it! Love the story and it was fun listening to Karin reading it. I still hold out hope that one day Mila and Tina's story will continue.

Good short!
I liked this short story. Very odd, yet enjoyable dynamics happening throughout. The characters surprised me which is def a good thing. I almost wanted more when it ended and wondered about what could have happened. Recommended!
