Publisher Description
(A standalone Heartbreaker Bay novel)
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” Spence 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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Shalvis's fans will love spending Christmas in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood with her now-familiar gang of lovable Heartbreaker Bay misfits. New Yorker Colbie Albright has had it up to here with her stressful life. She packs a bag and buys a ticket on the first flight that will take her far from home. When a hurricane thwarts plans for a South Seas vacation, she heads to San Francisco and ends up at the wishing fountain with Heartbreaker Bay regular Spence Baldwin. It's uncharacteristic commitment at first sight for Spence, but Colbie is dead set on a quick holiday fling that will self-destruct on Christmas Eve. As befits a make-nice holiday romance, tension runs a bit slack here, but the successful Shalvis formula of relatable characters, stunning Bay Area scenery, and good old-fashioned bonhomie still works.
Customer Reviews
Chasing Christmas Eve -Loved it!
I truly enjoyed this book. From the very first page I was hooked and couldn’t put it down! I was sad this book had to end but I’m looking forward to reading more in this series. This is a stand-alone book.
Loved it.
Another page turner. I am not reading these in the order written but that is no problem. They are truly standalones and great books. Absolutely loved this story about Spencer and Colbie. Highly recommended.
Spencer!!
Spencer is a workaholic. He knows he can either have love or work but not both. Relationships are not his thing. Colbie takes care of her mom and brothers almost to a fault. Her family cannot function without her. Burnt how Colbie walks out to find her muse. Ending up in San Francisco
was just what she needed. After a wet meeting Spence and Colbie can't stay away from each other. With their time running short will these to figure out what they need is each other. Loving this series and can't wait for next book!!!
