The Valentine Grinch: December 2012

Hearts, cupids, and diamond rings … bah humbug!

Amanda Goodwin inherited her Valentine grinchness from her Grandpa George, so when she returns home for her Grandma Elvira’s Valentine’s Day wedding, it’s bah humbug all the way. Until, that is, she encounters her grandpa’s ghost.

Fortunately, she’s not in this alone.

Long time friend, Dane Weatherby, totally gets her grinchly attitude. Between Grandpa’s demands for her to stop the wedding, Grandma’s inability to let go of her dearly departed husband’s urn, and Amanda’s parents acting friskier than a couple of newlyweds, she’s ready to give in to her grinchness and head back to the city.

Only true love can stop Amanda. And if Dane has his way, he just might convince her to say I do instead of bah humbug.

Review by Katie O’Connor: “I started smiling at the beginning of this cute, quirky story and grinned all the way through. Seabrook has given us some unique and believable characters. You’ll laugh even as you want to pull your hair out as you watch Amanda’s exasperation in dealing with her family. I couldn’t help but fall in love with Amanda’s grandparents. Her grandmother is eccentric and her grandfather is a conniving ghost; and they drive her to distraction.

I admit, that I am always partial to a turn-around book and Amanda does indeed do an about face. In spite of being friends with Dane forever, Amanda is the ultimate Valentine’s Grinch. When life and her family twist Amanda about in circles she discovered that the holiday isn’t just about cards and chocolates. She realizes there might just be something more to Valentine’s Day.

This is a quick read that will make you smile and reinforce your belief in the power of love.”

Wedding Fever: July 15, 2012

Bandit Creek’s star reporter is about to have her life turned upside down!

Liz Templeton lives a quiet life with her mother, her mother’s best friend, her boss, and – oh yeah – the ghost of her teenage daughter. When her ex-husband returns to town to hunt for the legendary Lost Lake treasure, she doesn’t count on the pair of matchmaking mothers who are planning her wedding or her daughter’s obsession with the man who might be her dad.

Liz has one chance to stop her family from driving her insane…and falling head over heels in love with her ex isn’t part of the plan.
