Once in a while, I have the time to peruse some of the many newsletters I receive every week. One, from Bookstores without Borders, recently named its 2013 Christmas Mistletoe contest winner and I was curious, so I read the excerpt of THE SANTA SOCIETY by Kristine McChord. And I thought, “Why isn’t this book more well-known?”
I like to think of myself as a tough reader to please. But The Santa Society pulled me in with its tight, fresh writing and an intriguing story line. I always say if you need to up the sympathy factor–get a dog into your story. McChord does, but it doesn’t feel tacked on. The dog in her story is not only irresistible, he’s the key to the story. I highly recommend this book!
Here’s a summary of this terrific and well-written book:
Magic. Myth. Miracles. They say there’s truth in legends.
The real Santa Claus isn’t anything like you’ve imagined. Get ready for the
Christmas love story of a lifetime.
Last Christmas, Erin Sinclair came home to be with her dying mother.
This Christmas will be a year, and Erin still can’t move on. Fortunately,
everything in her life is about to change. A behemoth dog named Klaus and
Reason-the-handsome-realtor enter the picture, and together they turn Erin’s
life upside down…in a good way.
Reason offers to help Erin sell her mother’s house, an
effort that turns into a circus of fiascos. Just when it seems her luck can’t
get any worse, Erin finds herself falling in love with Reason, the man of chaos
himself. But he’s more than he seems, and now Erin is immersed in the
clandestine world of the Santa Society, a centuries old secret organization
that protects the truth behind Christmas.
