Adair, Marina

Adair (“Destiny Bay” series) launches an adorable, fun new contemporary romance series. Anh and Emmitt are delightful, and the cast of secondary characters is varied and entertaining. Readers will be eager to see several of them get their own story. For public libraries where small-town contemporary romances are popular.

Major sexual electricity, zingy humor, some meddlesome but well-meaning grandmothers, and a pair of protagonists who spar beautifully add up to another lively addition in an engaging series. Adair (Kissing Under the Mistletoe) lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.

Well-­handled sexual tension, sympathetic protagonists, and engaging supporting characters add to this sassy, tender, and funny romp that has plenty of holiday ambience, lays the foundation for an ongoing series, and leaves fans hoping the next installment isn’t too far away. Adair (Tucker’s Crossing) lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA.
