Hehe! Operation: Endgame is a Christmas book. No really. In between the psycho stalker scenes there are some really sweet, romantic Christmas scenes...nothing does better romantic ambiance than a Christmas tree and a roaring fire in the fireplace. ;o)
Texas Tech Carol of Lights.There are so many fun Christmas books out there, I thought it would be fun to highlight a few of the ones that I've bought this year (I warned you...this is my weak spot!)
