In Holiday Heart, Vol. 2, Josie Riviera, again, shares her heart for people with realistic people, situations, struggles and love!

Aloha to Love brings two very different people together on a cruise to Hawaii. Angelina is writing a screenplay that possibly needs a bit of factual correction. She is being encouraged/forced to use the ‘services’ of a volcanologist, Dr. Caleb Sloane. These two absolutely did not connect through emails before meeting on the cruise.

Although not initially impressed, Angelina did what she could to connect with Dr. Sloane but being late to his lecture did not help. What happened surprised them both with the immediate connection that surprised them. This cruise together turns out to be nothing like either of them expect4ed. With a bit of misunderstanding from time to time, a bit of miscommunication, a bit of wrong assumptions, these two finally found each other in a spectacular way!

A Christmas to Cherish from the Cherish trilogy. Josie brings together two people who are healing and find love in the process. I first met Nicholas in A Love Song to Cherish. Nicholas’s wedding was cancelled truly at the last moment leaving him heartbroken and wondering where he went wrong. Enter sweet Emmanuelle, who comes to Cherish because she needs a place to heal. Nicholas’ sister Dorothy assures her Cherish is a ‘safe haven.’

Nicholas and Emmanuelle became friends as they were there to help Dorothy through her addiction. Although they had not met in person, they communicated through social media while helping Dorothy. The friendship they built dwindled once Dorothy found herself again. Now Emmanuelle and Nicholas are both trying to heal from broken relationships. Both from picking the wrong person. Emmanuelle’s is a bit different due to her ex’s abusiveness. He even destroyed her beautiful harp as well as her heart.

Of course, with Christmas part of the title, you get to enjoy the spirit of the season from a faith-filled perspective as Nicholas and Emmanuelle not only rebuild their friendship but find love in the community of Cherish.

1-800-CHRISTMAS gives you the unique perspective of an adult who has survived foster care along with her sister. Desiree has trust issues and has just purchased a fixer upper from her new brother-in-law. Feeling a bit guilty, knowing Desiree needs help, said brother-in-law hires a live-in carpenter, live in as in the attic. The carpenter, Kieran, is not unknown to Desiree. She had a crush on him in high school.

Kieran’s own life is in turmoil from several bad decisions. His parents had once owned a striving restaurant/pub in town that he has inherited. He really is great at helping redo Desiree’s Queen Anne home and is a great cook, too. He starts cooking for them while she is at work. Their time together develops that closeness that could lead to a permanent relationship. It is not easy for Desiree as it relates back to trust issues. When one of Kieran’s bad decisions show up in town, life gets worse before it gets better.
