BAH-FREAKING-HUMBUG
Adele James’s favorite time of year has always been Christmas, but this year she’s in no mood for the holiday season. Thanks to her famous A-list actor boyfriend cheating on her! Now that her photo is splashed all over TV, the internet, and tabloids her number one goal is to get away. She heads to her family’s cabin to be alone, but there’s another occupant when she arrives: none other than the frustratingly sexy Jace Kilpatrick… the man she’s been avoiding falling in love with for the past six years.
Jace Kilpatrick has never been the biggest holiday guy, and after three months of the NHL being on lockout, celebrating is low on his priority list. Getting the keys to his best friend’s family cabin was supposed to be about being alone. But those plans are foiled by Adele James who brings the mother of all snowstorms with her.
Adele is gorgeous, funny, and fiery, but she’s also his best friend’s sister, aka, completely off limits. But when the cabin loses power in the middle of the storm, Jace forgets the rules and spends the Christmas days and nights with Adele wrapped in his arms. Once the snow thaws, they’ll call things off, no harm, no foul… if they can agree to keep their hearts out of the equation.

Shannon Richard
Shannon Richard grew up in the Panhandle of Florida as the baby sister of two overly protective but loving brothers. She was raised by a more than somewhat eccentric mother, a self-proclaimed vocabularist who showed her how to get lost in a book, and a father who passed on his love for coffee and really loud music. She graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s in English literature and still lives in Tallahassee, where she battles everyday life with writing, reading, and a rant every once in a while. Okay, so the rants might happen on a regular basis. She’s still waiting for her Southern, scruffy Mr. Darcy, and in the meantime writes love stories to indulge her overactive imagination. Oh, and she’s a pretty big fan of the whimsy.
Adele James is nursing a broken heart and has decided that instead of spending the holidays with her family she is going to go to the family cabin for a little alone time. But once she pulls in the drive she soon realizes that she isn't the only one in need of some solitude, her brothers teammate is already there enjoying some alone time. Spending the holidays, in close quarters with a handsome hockey hunk is not what she had in mind, but a storm is brewing and leaves her with no choice. A few days with him can't be all that bad, right?
With his hockey world up in the air, and his personal life unusually quiet, Jace Kilpatrick decides to spend a few days in the mountains, all by himself. But an unexpected surprise shows up on the doorstep, and quickly brightens up his dull little solitary vacation. When Adele wanders through the door, he's hit with a case of desire that he has no idea what to do with, acting on it would be so wrong, but it could be a lot of fun too! For a long time he has thought of her as just a friend, but for some reason he is seeing her in a whole new light, and he likes what he sees. But he's pretty sure she doesn't feel the same way... or does she?
An Unexpected Christmas was the perfect remedy for my holiday blues, it inspired smiles and tons of holiday spirit! I loved watching these two circle around one another and fight the sparks brewing between them, they had some serious heat going on. Ms. Richardson really outdid herself with this one, the words were absorbing, and the characters were perfectly crafted, I loved it!! I am anxious to see what she has in store for us next, if this first story is any indication of what is to come, the next one is sure to be just as amazing!! Highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it'll leave your heart happy!
