'Tis the
Season to Be Naughty
Connor
McClain knows what he wants. And after four harrowing years in Afghanistan,
that's a quiet life in the lakeside town of Evergreen Cove. But coming home has
land mines of its own-the most dangerous of them being long-legged bombshell
Faith Garrett. Now getting her into his arms this holiday is going to require
more than mistletoe . . .
With a
cheating ex behind her, all Faith wants is a relaxing holiday free from man
drama. And even though every moment with gorgeous Connor is a sweet temptation,
Faith is determined not to give in. But Jack Frost has other plans, and soon
Faith and Connor are snowbound in a winter wonderland with only the sparks
flying between them to keep them warm. As one hot kiss leads to another, they'll
have to decide if they're ready to give each other the best gift of all-love.

Nikki's Review:
She did it again. I swear, I'm completely awed by this author...every
damn time! I'm struggling to find the appropriate words to describe how so
incredibly fantastic this book is. Can I just say, read it? Probably not right?
You need a little more than that. So here goes....
Sweet baby Jesus, Connor McLain is everything that makes my
heart skip a beat! He's all growly and protective, and so damn sweet that he
makes my tummy flutter. He's struggling to find some semblance of normal after
serving his country in the Middle East and from the betrayal of his ex girlfriend.
This landscaper extraordinaire wants Faith Shelby something fierce. But the
great thing about Connor is that he's patient and willing to slowly win her
over. Playful smiles and teasing...sigh, I love him.
Faith is jaded, really jaded. She's been betrayed by her ex
fiancé and raised in a home by a mother who views marriage like the antichrist.
Believing that she's cursed to be alone forever, Faith isn't so sure that
spending time with Connor is a good idea.
These two together are combustible! Once Faith lets down her
walls, holy hell...feelin' hot, hot, hot! Connor has moves that could melt the
panties off a nun...and me. While Faith is protecting her heart at all costs,
she is more than happy to let Hunky Connor play her body and make it sing. Jessica
Lemmon writes hot, sweaty, and oh so delicious sex. The scenes are beautifully
written and truly grab at my heart.
There's so much going on in this story. So many emotions and
growing pains. Ms. Lemmon has the ability to take simple words and knock you to
your knees with them. I can literally lose myself in her books. She writes
characters that you can really care about and root for. And let me tell you, I
fell hard for both Connor and Faith. I went on the emotional roller coaster
with them. It left me dizzy and completely enthralled. When the climax of this
story unfolded I held my breath, waiting to see how these beloved characters
would find their way to a happily ever after. The fall. The fall was so
gorgeous. When they stopped fighting what was so very clear, the fall made me
sigh and my heart happy.
I'm not sure I've done this book justice. I love it so much. All
the books in this series are very dear to me. I read a lot, like a whole lot.
And not every author or book grabs at me. But every now and then I come across an
author or book that are so unforgettable that I think about them often, like an
old friend. Jessica Lemmon does that for me. She has pulled me into her written
world and each time I start a new chapter, I find myself smiling. I can hardly
wait for Asher and Gloria's book. I want to see that uber hot rock god, fall to
his knees for Gloria. And I imagine her sharp tongue will make that happen!
