I read this book at least once a year since its publication. I love everything about it, the characters, the journey, the car. Diana doesn't hit a single bad note in this book.

I could not put this book down – Thanksgiving Dinner be damned! And, I was warned that it would be “sweet and sexy” and WOW was it ever. Sweet, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, cute, adorable … there aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful this Christmas story was. And, for once, I didn’t fall in love with the tall, dark and handsome leading man … my heart belongs to Eli, the short, dark, handsome little boy. He was spectacular and st ...more

I love holiday-themed romances and enjoy reading new-to-me author. This book was a perfect pairing of both. It was a very sweet and humorous holiday romance that introduced me to a new author. Cross Country Christmas was very well-written and contained a wonderful undercurrent of holiday cheer. The couple, Damien and Christie were just adorable together. But individually they were completely likeable and you just wanted to see them happy together. The cool thing about this story was that it was

Last night, I met my word count goal—something I haven’t done in months—and decided to reward myself with two chapters of a Christmas romance (better late than never). I chose Cross Country Christmas by Diana Duncan.
So, last night as I lay shivering under the duvet (it was a cold one), I started her steamy romance novel with the intention of reading two chapters. Just two…

A Christmas blizzard that cancels all flights out of Denver throws stranded travelers Christie and Damian together on a journey that does more than just take them to their respective holiday destinations. Ride along with them to see what situations they encounter and to see how they react to each one.
The language is sometimes spicy and the growing relationship as sensual as the hot and sexy Damian. It tastefully faces what, for some, may be uncomfortable relationships. However, open your mind a ...more

What a wonderful feel good, funny Christmas story just in time to get you in the mood for the holidays. This story is about the magic of Christmas. Two strangers stranded in an airport decide to go on a journey via car along with the young son of the hero. The things they encounter in their long journey from Colorado to Washington state was very heartwarming and showed that there are good people out there, some down on their luck and just needing a break and others willing to open their homes an

I loved this book so much I read it twice over the holiday season! A fantastic story that for me shares the true meaning of the holiday season!
This story has all the ingredients for a fabulous Christmas romance; a smoking hot hero, his cute kid, a kick ass heroine, obstacles, family and adventure!
A favorite that I read every season!

I love Diana Duncan's books. Well written, true to life, and in this case, Christmas Magical. A well blended story of two people who meet and fall in love, survive blizzards, bigotry, and cookie making. A touch of humor and drama complete the tale. ...more

What a great story! If you're looking for a great book to boost your spirits and believe in the magic of Christmas, this is the book to read. It had laughter, sadness, love and more laughter! This is a stand-alone read, but it was great catching up with characters from the other 2 books.
