Oh, I've been meaning to try that author, Kari. I just grabbed that book - since the title and synopsis are so great - even though I has the short story.
BTW, updated you. :o)

The author has a short freebie epilogue on her website, really sweet. Here's the info so you can check it out when you finish the book (link to epilogue is on the blurb):
Love epilogues, Kari. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this short of a book counts, but I finished the novella _Lumberjack in Love_ by Penny Watson, which has a winter scene on the cover of the version I got for Kindle. (I don't know how y'all link/show the books' covers in posts.)
I wrote a short review on my completed books page, but basically, I liked it, it was sweet & lighthearted, but they just moved too fast into the hot & steamy, IMO, for such a brand new relationship & considering all the other stuff they were dealing with, from previous relations.
~His.Southern.Wife~, I'll update you... but here is how to add a bookcover. I won't put it under a spoiler, in case you're on an alternate media.BTW, I liked your review.
~ How to Add a Bookcover Link ~
• Click on the "add book/author link above the text box which you're typing in for the discussion.
• Notice a search box or “look-up” opens up and at the bottom the words
add: ⦿ link 〇coverThe little blue dot is will always first default to link unless you click on cover.
• Type in the title you of the book you desire, and click "search".
• Click on the "add" button next to the option you want to include and the html for the cover will appear in your text box.
• Make sure that "cover" is chosen before you click the big “search” button, but if you forget, you can always put your cursor after the word “book” and before the colon: in the link, type in "cover" and the bookcover will appear.
I'll put an asterisk* in the code so you can see the book numbers are the same:
[*book:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]
[*bookcover:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]
Results :
Through a Dark Mist = link
= bookcover link• If the bookcover that appears is not the one you want, simply click on "other editions" right under the add button. Page numbers are at the bottom of the "look-up". Browse until you find the cover you desire.
• Do a preview, if you like. Just click (preview) in parentheses in light grey to the right of the big post button.
Hope this helps!
~His.Southern.Wife.~, I just realized you're done. Woohoo & Congrats!

Gorgeous, thanks Lisa Kay.
Woohoo & Congrats, Lisa (Aussie Girl)!
...tanzanite & diamond ring...
Ooh Nice. I was just checking out the Tiffany's catalogue... it's our 30th Wedding anniversary next year and hoping my husband might take the hint.
**hee hee** Good luck, Lisa!
I'm reading another because my previous was too short and this one is Christmasy (but it's also a novella) and it's part of a series I've already read, except for this one: Mine For Christmas
AND I wanted to post something showing LisaKay that I now know how & say thanks for explaining how to post links & book covers!
Well done, *~His.Southern.Wife.~*! I'm proud of you. ;o)
