Storm Goodman has heard every weather joke in the book—and she’s not in the mood for another. Lately her life has lived up to her name. After a year of personal setbacks in her skiing career and her grandfather passing, she thought the worst of it was over until Four days before Christmas her lawyer tells her she can’t inherit the ranch her grandfather left her—unless she’s married by noon on Christmas day. Good thing she has a guy to marry—too bad he’s also the same guy who cheated on her last year. She’ll have to put up with him if she wants to keep the land from being turned over to the BLM.
When a mysterious guy shows up, chewing her out for spraying snow on him, she never would have imagined she’d end up on a date with him. Or kiss him! Why does her life have such rotten timing? After night skiing, soaking in the hot tub, and dancing at an old folk’s home, Storm begins to wonder if she can really go through with the marriage to her ex.
Now she and Nathan are faced with a choice—walk away or let the timing of love sync up once and for all.

Review:

A Christmas romance set in Park City with a hot billionaire... yes please! Another fabulous read by Taylor Hart. I love her writing and I never want to put her books down. Nathan was on vacation in Park City enjoying some skiing when he was sprayed in the face on the slopes, so he was on a mission to confront her. Storm has a lot on her plate. She is trying to get her own business up and running and if she wants to keep her family's ranch she has to get married on Christmas. When Nathan confronts her sparks fly and Nathan does what he can to spend more time with her. As they get to know each other Nathan wants to help her with all that's going on and... well you'll have to read it. It was another great holiday clean romance... the best kind. If you love cheesy hallmark movies like me... you'll like this!

A Player For Christmas by Taylor Hart

Synopsis:

Brooks Stone, wide receiver for the Miami Surf, isn’t the type of guy to make dreams come true; he’s too busy dealing with a high ankle sprain and the anniversary of his wife’s death.

Callie Given, a cancer patient at Primary Children’s Hospital, only has one wish for Christmas—dinner with Brooks Stone. He flatly refuses, until Sam Dumont threatens to make sure the coaches bench him if he doesn’t comply.

Ana Given thought fighting for her daughter’s life was enough of a challenge. She never expected famous football player Brooks Stone to actually show up. If he was a friend of her ex-husband, he’s definitely not someone she wants hanging around her daughter. Good thing she sends him away. Too bad her daughter sees him before he can leave.

When Brooks and Ana find themselves on a quest to find Callie’s father, neither would have imagined getting on a plane together, going to a cage fight, or…kissing. Brooks wonders how these two women have become everything to him in less than seventy-two hours. Now he has to make a decision—get what he wanted for Christmas or become the player he was always meant to be.

Reviews:

I am a Christmas girl so of course I had to celebrate Christmas in July. I really enjoyed this book about a star football player that visits a cute but sick little girl in the hospital and changes his life for the better. This book happens around Christmas time but it's not too Christmasy. I don't like the Brooks at the beginning of the book but who he becomes at the end of the book is great. Serving those around you can lead to a happy life. This is a cute, heartwarming, and quick read that will put you in the holiday spirit and you just may shed a tear. I like books about famous people that meet everyday people so I'm excited to read more in this series.
