WIB: A Very Faerie Christmas: Six Holiday Inspired Novellas

Welcome to a new series called What I Bought in which I share books that have recently captured my attention. Today, I stumbled across A Very Faerie Christmas: Six Holiday Inspired Novellas through The Fussy Librarian Newsletter (signup here so you never miss a good deal). The collection was on sale for $0.99 and seemed like an awesome deal for over 600 pages.

I like that the book centers around the theme of magic and fairies, but has a variety of genres including romance and fantasy. I, of course, also love that these are stories about Christmas - my favorite time of the year.

I look forward to curling up with this collection this weekend and hope you'll give it a try as well.

Now, the Fae court needs her help in finding a solstice child. If Wraith succeeds, the child will become a beacon of hope. If she fails, the child will become a monster, inspiring anger and rage. Wraith has faced all manner of terrors, both mundane and supernatural, and has never backed down from a fight.

Lizzy Hamilton wants to skip Christmas this year. Working as a nurse while holding her marriage to an Army Ranger together has drained her energy and joy. She’s a pro at caring for others, but she needs someone to look out for her, too. However, when her soon-to-be ex-husband, Mitch, asks if she’ll spend the holidays with him—just as friends—so he won’t be alone, she can’t say no because, other than his platoon, she’s the only family he has.

Staff Sergeant Mitchell Hamilton wants only one Christmas gift—his wife. Frequent deployments and training exercises sent him away from home, and he had no idea how taken for granted Lizzy felt until she asked him for a divorce two months ago. Now his mission is to show his wife he’ll do anything to save their marriage. He only hopes his plan to win her back with a holiday vacation to Indigo Bay, a coastal resort town, works. He can’t—won’t—lose Lizzy forever.

This is a short, sweet holiday romance set in the Indigo Bay world and can be read as a standalone.

When she says yes to Arthur Carrington II’s marriage proposal, her life is suddenly turned upside down.
