The Trees of New Cheltenham

The Trees of New Cheltenham

The only thing worse than no money for Christmas is not enough money to make it to Christmas!

Falling for his boss? Since when did Daniel become some romance cliche?

About the Book

Falling for his boss? Since when did Daniel become some romance cliche?

Daniel Murray is flat worn out trying to support his mother and siblings, but an unexpected inheritance offers a reprieve. Still, his siblings are squabbling, his mother is worn out, and working two jobs might just crush him—or rather, he’s crushing on his new boss (but he’ll never admit it).

So, when his little brother finds an abandoned Christmas tree farm at the back of their new property, hope swells. Maybe they can salvage some of the trees and he can quit his extra job… or not. After all, they say to keep your enemies close and your crushes closer… right?

The Trees of New Cheltenham might do more than give one struggling family a chance at a Christmas celebration.  It might just bring two hearts together, too.

Episode 586: A Chat with Becca Kinzer
byChautona Havig

My favorite romance is romcom–always. And one of my favorite romcom authors has a new one out, I LOVED it. Listen in as Becca Kinzer and I chat about her latest book, Not What We Pictured. So funny.

We had a great time talking about not just Not What We Pictured but also a Christmas novella I’ve forgotten the name of but listened to when we finished talking and… guys. It was great!

Not What We Pictured by Becca Kinzer

This is absolutely not how they pictured their summer going.

McKenna Boston is feeling stuck. She’s spent years growing her photography skills only for her career to hit a wall. She’s ready to move on, and she will, just as soon as she helps her sister’s boyfriend stage the perfect proposal. But when her best laid plans go awry and a handsome stranger accidentally ends up with the heirloom ring, McKenna hops on a flight to retrieve it. Piece of cake, right?

Nate Lambert was hoping to enjoy a relaxing summer before starting his new job as a literature professor, but he arrives in Tennessee to discover his mom’s bed and breakfast is struggling and there’s a long list of repairs to be tackled. The last thing he needs is a gorgeous, determined photographer searching for a ring he doesn’t have since the airline lost his luggage somewhere on his route from Nebraska.

With the ring nowhere to be found, all McKenna can do is wait and use the time to build her portfolio and plan her next career move. But she also can’t help getting swept up in Nate’s bed and breakfast renovations and in planning a community concert with the townsfolk. As both await news of Nate’s suitcase, it begins to seem their serendipitous meeting, and the proposal gone wrong, could actually be everything going right . . . and that this may be their chance at a love neither could have pictured.

Learn more on Becca’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.

Picture it. You decide that this is the year for b Picture it. You decide that this is the year for book clubs. This is the year you're going to move off your "favorites shelf" explore new horizons (or at least a new author or two). It's gonna be great (why do I want to add, "they said"?). Maybe you're an introvert who knows that peopling for an hour or two is going to drain you, but for a good book? You've got this. You square your shoulders, open the bookstore door, inhale the vellichor (unless you're a Harper Brevig--then you're totally down for BIBLIOchor), and step into your new life--as a book club person. Oh, yeah.
You meet new people. Grab a snack. Sit down to find out what book you're going to read first and...
Discover that your life has been taken hostage. Because if you and your new book club friends don't solve a riddle, read the right book based on that riddle, and show up to every meeting? One or more of you won't be alive to attend the next.
WHAT???
It's basically @Chantelreadsallday 's Read Your Bookshelf Challenge in a book.
Dying to Read: their inciting incidents might be deadly. Available now in paperback and eBook (and on Kindle Unlimited!) The audiobook is coming soon! Don't miss more about the bookstore in the Booked for Love anthology releasing October 1!
