About CHASING CHRISTMAS EVE:


Meet cute...


Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.


Make merry...


Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spencer immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?


…and hope for a miracle.


Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime

Sonja's Review


I have loved the Heartbreaker Bay series from the first book in it that I read and whenever I know another one is coming out, it doesn’t matter who the couple is, I want to read their story. I was really excited when I found out that Chasing Christmas Eve was Spence’s story because I’ve wanted him to get his own happily-ever-after since I found out more about him in Accidentally on Purpose. It was better than I could have hoped for and I fell completely in love with this book - it was wonderful! 

It’s hard to decide who I love more between Spence and Colbie because they’re both excellent characters. In this case, I think that honor has to go to Colbie although Spence isn’t far behind her. And how could he not be? He’s kind and sweet with the biggest heart in the world. Spence is always trying to take care of his friends and family and he would do absolutely anything for them. There were times when I wished that Spence could stand to believe in himself a little more, but he learns and he really is the total package. I loved him and I have no doubts that he’ll make you fall in love with him too. 

Colbie is exactly my kind of heroine. She’s funny and strong with a core of steel, but also sweet with some vulnerable, weak moments although she doesn’t let anything keep her down forever. She works hard and has a lot of responsibilities, but she discovers how to let go and have fun. Colbie is giving and generous and tough and has a heart of gold. I loved being inside her head - I just loved her. 

Chasing Christmas Eve gave me heart pains at and made me ache, but it made me laugh out loud so much too. It was funny and sweet and heartglowing. It made feel all warm and toasty inside and I fell in love with Colbie and Spence and their tale at the same time they were. I loved reading Chasing Christmas Eve to the moon and back, it is a perfect holiday novel and has that magic you feel around Christmas - I just couldn't have enjoyed it any more than I did! 

Chasing Christmas Eve is the fourth book in the Heartbreaker Bay series, but it can be read as a standalone. It’s told from Spence and Colbie’s point of view, they get their HEA, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

EXCERPT:
Colbie Albright stood in the crowded LaGuardia Airport staring up at the flight departure board. Her chest was tight and her throat felt like it was closing in.
Classic anxiety, she told herself. Just breathe right through it.
Not that her body listened to her brain. Her body rarely listened to good sense.
In any case, it was December 1 and people were rushing all around her like chickens without their heads, while she stood still trying to figure out her choice of destination. Her only requirements were warm and tropical. An exotic beach would fit the bill perfectly.
Aruba.
Jamaica.
Oooh, I wanna take you…
Great, and now that Beach Boys song was stuck in her head. Doing her best to shake it off, she eyed the board again. So many choices for a twenty-eight-year-old runaway with a packed bag and no regrets.
From inside her purse her phone vibrated and she grimaced. Okay, so there were regrets. Buckets of them that made her suitcase feel like a thousand pounds and sucked the air from her lungs, but she refused to let herself turn tail and go back.
She was doing this.
