A Rare Nativity
[image error]A Rare Nativity
by Sam Beeson, Photographs by Terral Cochran, Nina Cochran
On Sale Date: September 8, 2015
9781629720623/HC/All Ages $17.99
A visual artist’s unforgettable twist on “The Twelve Days of Christmas” using photographs of ordinary objects of trash — rusty rough-hewn nails, shards of glass, broken tools —sent along with messages of revenge against an enemy which are all sent back from the enemy assembled into a traditional Nativity crèche and an unexpected request from the enemy: Forgiveness. Author Sam Beeson asks us to completely change the paradigm of spending and gift-giving during the holidays and invites us to grant open-hearted forgiveness as the greatest gift we can offer during Christmas.
My Review:
Wow. This was not what I was expecting but I loved it and my nine-year old son loved it too. It's such a touching way to show that we can turn hatred into love and can always forgive. It helped me to try to look past offenses and find the good.

The Billionaire Bride Pact Romance
The Resilient One by Cami Checketts
Alyssa Armsworth, a world-renowned photographer, has no intentions of honoring the Billionaire Bride Pact she made as a teenager to avoid getting her bra hung from the camp flagpole. Marriage is the last thing on her to-do list and when her father forces his wealthy friends on her, she runs to Maui.
She plans to lay low, take some great pictures, and eat fresh fish--until Beckham Taylor arrives. Stuck in the same hotel and spending days on the white sand with the handsome ex-NHL star wouldn't be all that bad except Alyssa's done something in the past that Beckham could never forgive. Before she can confess, her misdeeds are thrust onto the front cover of a well-known magazine. Alyssa must overcome her fears or live without Beckham.

The Mariposa Hotel
The Mariposa Hotel
A Tangerine Street Romance by Julie Wright, Melanie Jacobsen, and Heather B. Moore
(a novel in three parts)
Welcome to Tangerine Street
Tangerine Street is a must-see tourist stop with a colorful mix of one-of-a-kind boutiques, unique restaurants, eclectic museums, quaint bookstores, and exclusive bed-and-breakfasts. The Mariposa Hotel, a new resort, has revitalized Seashell Beach, bringing new life to the sleepy beach town. In the charming gardens of the hotel sits a three-hundred-year-old wishing well transported from Mexico. One toss of the coin, a sincere wish, and lives are changed forever…
Other books in the Tangerine Street Romance series:
The Fortune Café
The Boardwalk Antiques Shop
My Review:
I have loved every one of these Tangerine Street romances. I really can't say which is my favorite. The Mariposa Hotel is a fabulous addition. Each story has depth of characterization, fabulous writing, and just the right amount of clean romance. I don't like thinking this is the end for Tangerine Street. Please keep it going!

Help! I need to decide on a cover for my book that will be a part of the amazing series, Billionaire Bride Pact. These are just mockups so the quality isn't great, but hopefully you can get a general idea. Please let me know in the comments if you like #1 or #2. Thank you and many hugs!
