Scrooged for the Holidays by Kayla Grosse, 427 pages

 GREER MALLORY doesn’t believe in fate, magic, or Christmas miracles. She believes in money, power, and keeping her “Ice Queen” heart frozen solid.


But when a snowstorm lands her in the hidden mountain town of Elysian Pines three nights before Christmas, she meets MALACHI, REMIEL, and SAMAEL—three men who aren’t just handsome, they’re something... otherworldly.

As things heat up between them, and visions of her past, present, and future grow impossible to ignore, Greer finds her Scrooge-like ways beginning to crack.

But will her time in Elysian Pines be enough to thaw her cold exterior?

Or will she let herself stay frozen for good?

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, 427 pages

 Luc O'Donnell is tangentially--and reluctantly--famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go.

The Last Chance Library by Freya Sampson, 427 pages

 June Jones emerges from her shell to fight for her beloved local library, and through the efforts and support of an eclectic group of library patrons, she discovers life-changing friendships along the way.


Lonely librarian June Jones has never left the sleepy English village where she grew up. Shy and reclusive, the thirty-year-old would rather spend her time buried in books than venture out into the world. But when her library is threatened with closure, June is forced to emerge from behind the shelves to save the heart of her community and the place that holds the dearest memories of her mother.

Joining a band of eccentric yet dedicated locals in a campaign to keep the library, June opens herself up to other people for the first time since her mother died. It just so happens that her old school friend Alex Chen is back in town and willing to lend a helping hand. The kindhearted lawyer's feelings for her are obvious to everyone but June, who won't believe that anyone could ever care for her in that way.

To save the place and the books that mean so much to her, June must finally make some changes to her life. For once, she's determined not to go down without a fight. And maybe, in fighting for her cherished library, June can save herself, too.
