Welcome to the Book Hooks Blog Hop, in which authors share excerpts from their books.
This month I thought I’d post some snippets from some holiday-themed stories.
In Angela’s Kiss, Abe and Angela meet right before Christmas, and it’s instant attraction for them, but that’s definitely not to say their relationship is easy.
Don’t forget to check out more excerpts from authors in the MFRW Book Hooks Blog Hop.
Thank you for stopping by!
Angela’s Kiss
by Kate Hill
“Abe, you shouldn’t have,” Angela said, glancing at the gifts he handed to Polly.
Shrugging, he met her gaze. A shiver ran down her spine. She told herself it was from the cold, but would the cold make her tingle and buzz in places that made her blush?
“Come in and sit. Dinner’s ready.” Angela glanced at him over her shoulder. “I hope you like macaroni.”
“When it comes to food, I like just about everything, but I must say, Angela, your cooking smells especially good.”
“I hope it doesn’t disappoint you.”
“It would be hard for anything about you to be disappointing.” He held her gaze and looked almost sheepish before adding, “Ma’am.”
Angela’s pulse skipped. This man liked her. She was sure of it. Not just any like. This was the deep-down, giddy, I’m-thinking-of-the-wedding-night kind of like she’d always dreamed about. Knowing this excited her so much that she was even willing to overlook him calling her ma’am again.
Blurb:
Christmas Eve, 1967. Two strangers united by mutual loss find the love they’ve been searching for.
After surviving captivity in a Vietnam prison camp, Master Sergeant Abraham Marley Fiske longs more than ever for a loving family life, but he doesn’t believe it’s in his future. Then a promise to a deceased friend sends him to the woman who can make his dream come true.
Since her brother was killed in Vietnam, Angela Franco has been caring for her young niece. She never expected to fall in love with her brother’s best friend, but when she meets Abe, she can’t ignore her feelings for him. Having lost her brother, will she now risk her heart by planning a future with Abe?
Note: Angela’s Kiss was previously published as His Sister’s Kiss. This is a re-edited version and contains additional scenes.

“would the cold make her tingle and buzz in places that made her blush?”
