Tiz the Season

by Lori Copeland

The Hunk in the Santa Claus Suit... — Attorney Darby Piper groaned when she saw the bulldozer blocking her driveway -- she was going to be late for court! But when she ordered the undeniably tall, dark, and handsome construction foreman to clear her path, he did his best to keep her trapped... but only so he could charm her into having dinner with him. Cody Benderman liked to ruffle her feathers, to turn her orderly life into lively chaos -- but could he awaken the sensuous spitfire beneath the serious business suits, and make her see it was time to fall in love? Darby's clients wanted Cody's giant holiday display removed by Christmas, and she didn't believe in mixing business with pleasure. But she'd also never enjoyed sparring, with her opponent outside the courthouse -- wrestling in the snow, being tickled breathless beside a crackling fire. Cody was an all-or-nothing man when it came to matters of the heart, but could he charm the lady lawyer into breaking all her rules of romance?

About the author

Lori Copeland was born on 12 June 1941. She had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing in 1982 when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame.

Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in the relatively new subgenre of Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels.

Lori and her husband of over forty years, Lance, live in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by the beautiful Ozarks. They have three grown sons, three daughter-in-laws, and six wonderful grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters. She and her husband are very involved in their church, and active in supporting mission work in Mali, West Africa.

[Jenny · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is more a 2.5 rating for me. The chemistry between Cody and Darby was weird. The dislike turned to love was so quick. It did have a fun ending.
