It’s December, and during the month of December, I like to read holiday themed novels.
Chasing Christmas Eve is the fourth book in Jill Shalvis’s Heartbreaker Bay series. I’ve adored this series since reading the first book last year. The cast of characters is so enjoyable and the neighborhood they inhabit in San Francisco is charming.
Colbie Albright is a bestselling young adult author who has a bad case of writer’s block. All the stress from her family and work has overwhelmed her so she decides to get away and takes a trip to San Francisco. She ends up literally running into Spencer Baldwin and falls into the fountain of the courtyard of the building Spence owns. The two hit it off but since Colbie is only in town for 2 weeks, just until Christmas, can they find a way to make a relationship work?
I really enjoyed this light and fun holiday romance. Many characters from the other books in the series made an appearance, but this book can also be read as a stand-alone. There is no real need to know the backstory of all the secondary characters in order to enjoy the book.
This is an amusing and quaint story and it was the perfect start to my holiday reading.
