Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and readers who can’t get enough Hallmark movies, this special Christmas treat will warm your heart just in time for the cozy holiday season. A sparkling new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels is exactly what you need to get in the spirit of the season.
Christmas is more than just a celebration for Lauren Montgomery. For generations, it’s been her family’s livelihood. Their Christmas shop, Razzle Dazzle Décor, has seen seasonal fads come and go, but there’s one trend they can’t escape. Online superstores are swallowing their sales, and this Christmas season will need to be their best ever if the store is to stay in business.
To help keep the shop afloat, Lauren also has a sideline, writing biographies for business figures. She’s thrilled when her literary agent contacts her with a new proposal and quickly agrees to the terms—before learning that the subject will be none other than the CEO of Globalgoods.com, the online retailer that has spelled doom for hundreds of small businesses just like Razzle Dazzle Décor. Despite her misgivings, Lauren travels to Seattle to confer with the mogul, and is caught off guard by his son, John Jr. Handsome, intelligent, and deeply kind, he’s perfect—apart from the fact that he’ll soon be CEO of the company threatening everything Lauren loves.
As her deadline, and Christmas, draw closer, Lauren knows that there’s more than her family’s shop at stake. Her heart is, too. But there’s no better time than the holidays to make a secret wish on the brightest star you see—and let the season’s magic take hold . . .

Title: Mixing Retail and Romance
Review: Hard to exactly determine the genre of this one. Romance doesn't become a part of the book until the last third of the book. In the beginning Lauren Montgomery has sold her condo in Florida and moved back to her hometown in North Carolina to run her parent's Christmas shop, a family business begun by her grandfather that changed over time from a general store to a niche business. Her father refuses to allow modern technology to be a part of the business, and it is beginning to fail. Lauren has established herself as a best selling biographer, so her living is not dependent on the success of the store. Her plate is pretty full with saving the store here at Christmas time when she learns a high school classmate is suffering from a potentially deadly disease and she has pledged to help find the funds to pay for a bone marrow transplant. To top it all off, her agent calls to tell her the founder of the world's biggest on-line retailer has chosen her to write his biography, is willing to pay her $3.5 million for it, but he has to see the rough draft in six weeks or the deal if off. And he expects her to fly to see him in Seattle now, in the Christmas season. A lot going on, but a great read.

Title: Sadly, Not A Hit
Review: Unfortunately, this story was far too trite. It felt as though it had been written by a 16-year-old. I was disappointed.

Title: Not My Favorite
Review: I loved most of this book but found the quick romance between John and Lauren to be weird. Perhaps, because we weren't privy to John's thoughts, the romance felt shallow and rushed.
