The Mystery of Santa Claus by Paul Moxham
Have read the stories from the 1950's from this author and loved them all.
Story starts out with Will and he's visiting his friends, Joe and his sisters at their grandparents house for the Christmas holiday and they have a dog, Jock.
After getting some cake at the bakery they head to see the car that crashed when a tree fell on it. Jock takes off and the kids all follow him and find a man in another crash and he's dressed in a Santa outfit....
The finally locate help for the man and he's brought to the hospital and their grandfather drives them there to find out about all the presents the man had, who got his memory back...
Love how they are able to save the day for the children and come up with an even better idea!
Excerpts from other works are included at the end.
Her Snow Valley Christmas Eve Kiss: Sweet, Christian (Christmas in Snow Valley series Book 4) by Taylor Hart
Book starts out with dedication and then the story.
Molly works in Denver, CO at the jewelry counter which she loves and is making a large montary donation by her tactics to the owners.
She gets a call at Christmas that her dad is on the way to the hospital-heart attack. She rushes home to help out and meets her ex boyfriend Kevin-the boy next door.
She also had found a letter her dad had written to her mother that really disturbs her to the point where she's never coming home again.
She finds out so many secrets and God's plan comes into play before she starts listening to it.
Predictable but so many twists and turns-so much heartache and medical problems.

Rhythm and blue skies by N. D. Jones
First time reading this author, bit different than other romance books i read.
Malcolm and Dr. Sky work at the same location and he stalks her that she relents to let him into her life.
Description sounded like a good story, office romance but there's a ton of erotic sex scenes that I had not even planned on.
Story line follows them and also Malcolm's brother in law who's cheating on his wife, in a car accident and they are happy to have her alive.
Also the drama continues with Sky's side of the family where her father is in contact with her and wants to come visit when the other family he has meets for Christmas.
Story goes back in time to bring you up to date on what's really happened.
Newport RI excursion is kinda fun but i would've chosen different things to do being from the area.
Entendres gets a bit old real quick after the second time to the 6th time.

Print is too hard to read and no way to enlarge it. Some of the background colors also make it hard to even see the letters.

Measurement abbreviations change a lot sometimes Tbsp, tbsp etc.
Some recipes also include grams and oz. so you are going to have to convert one (England or American) methods to come up with one only version of measurements to use.
