Ring in the Holidays by @JoanReeves #RomanceGems

Today is the first day of December. Hurray! Ring out the bells!

Our theme for December? The Gift of Romance.

Like nearly everyone in the era of Covid, I'm ready for some joy, good cheer, and happy times.

I want to bake cookies, make pralines, give presents, write Christmas cards, sing along with Christmas pop songs and favorite carols, watch Hallmark holiday movies, kiss under the mistletoe, and read holiday romance novels.

We all need this! The world needs this. That's one thing I love about romance novels. They truly are the optimistic genre. If you're feeling down, turn off the news and pick up a holiday romance. 

Santa's Book Shop

We're ringing in the Holidays in style. We have created a Book Fair just for you. Some of the books may be free; some may be bargained price. All are wonderful romances that give you the best of the season from comedy to suspense to drama.

Through the month of December, most of the Romance Gems authors will offer free and on sale books. 

These bargains come and go so fast that it's impossible to update the Book Fair page with them each day.

The best way to find out when a book is on sale is to subscribe to the Author's Free Newsletter.

I send my newsletter twice a month. My next one goes out this weekend, and I have a free book offer just for subscribers as well as sale books by me and some of my friends.

To become one of my Reader Friends, click to subscribe to my newsletter. 

When you confirm your subscription to my newsletter, you'll receive a link for a free ebook romance.

Now, hitch a ride on a sleigh and drop by Santa's Book Shop and pick out some books. Add some to your shopping list to give to a reading friend. It's easy and inexpensive to give ebooks. Instructions are on the Book Shop page to help you out.

December Author Spotlight

That smiling face you see to the left is Peggy Jaeger, who occupies the December Author Spotlight. 

Read all about Peggy and her new release, Baked With Love. The book cover is so pretty. You'll love it.

By the way, the link to Baked With Love is a universal book link so you can select the retailer of your choice. The book publishes December 9, but you can get it now on pre-order.

Be sure and visit every day or you may miss a bargain. Before I leave you to go make some pralines, I want to give you a free book offer.

LuvU4Ever—FREE on Kindle

If you haven't read this steamy holiday romance, pick up a free copy at Amazon today. 

Some Kindle shops outside the U.S. charge for this book so make sure it shows as free before you "buy" it.

Reviewers Say

I love a good short story with a beginning, middle and strong ending and LuvU4Ever delivers with no cliffhangers to cheat the reader.

LuvU4Ever is one short story I would recommend to all lovers of romance! —Jane Jones, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer

Joan Reeves crafts a delightful and compelling romance. While it may be short, it is vivid and certainly hits home for many women. The characters of Noelle and David are quite 'real' and I found their story poignant. If you have never read a Joan Reeves romance before (where have you been!) this is a fabulous introduction to her romantic style! —eBookLuver Reviews

A lot of love, a touch of hate, and plenty of heat! —Loretta Wheeler Review

Makes you "awww!" and believe in true love! —Carol Iris K.T., Amazon Reviewer

Until next time, if you're looking for this guy in the Santa hat, forget checking under the tree.

Look in the pages of a Romance Novel!

Hugs and Holiday Wishes!  Joan

      Yes, and it was the random choice. When I started the Author Spotlight, I randomized all the names and printed out a list. Lucky for Peggy she got December.

      Yes, indeedy! I'm going to give away a lot of holiday romances. People need the hope and optimism to be found between the covers of a romance.
