About the Author
Sheila Rabe had every intention of becoming a songwriter. . . until she got a great idea for a book. She's been writing and publishing both Regency romance novels and devotional books ever since her first novel was published in 1989.
With the new millennium around the corner, Sheila decided it was time to re-event herself as a writer, so she has moved from the past to the present and is now writing contemporary single title romance. Her first is ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS. A modern-day Scrooge tale, this book has already received great advance quotes. It will be followed by BE MY VALENTINE, a mother-daughter tale of backfiring battle plans in the battle of the sexes due out in time for Valentine's Day. Next up will be A PRINCE OF A GUY, the perfect summer read which introduces readers to Doctor Kate Stonewall, a newly-syndicated radio shrink who is about to need a shrink of her own when her rival, sports talk radio show host Jeff Hardin moves in next door. When Sheila's not in Nashville plugging songs, she hopes to be spending the new millennium plugging more of her funny contemporary romances.

Lighthearted romantic romp,
This review is from: All I Want for Christmas (Paperback)
In Angel's Fall, Luke Potter is irate at Suzi "Christmas" Carpenter. Her incredible holiday display makes Times Square seem deserted, but even worse to Luke is that her activity chased away his renters. No one warned Luke about Suzi's Christmas extravaganza when he bought this property a few months ago. As he crawls through the tied up traffic to get to his rental property, Luke has since learned she has done this overkill for almost a decade. Luke's godfather Don Rawlins lives near Suzi and detests her Yuletide show. Don offers Luke a deal. If Luke shuts down Suzi, the latter will fund, with no interest, the capital to open up a video arcade earlier than Luke planned on doing it. Luke agrees and sues Suzi. However, as he becomes acquainted with Suzi Christmas, he begins to fall in love as she melts his heart. However, he failed to inform his beloved he is the complainant in his suit and not Mr. Claus. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS is a lighthearted romantic romp with an underlying social issue. The story line is amusing though it provides insight on the complex issue of whose individual rights take precedent in a dispute between neighbors. Suzi is a warm, somewhat nutty eccentric who brightens up a neighborhood while Luke is not sure what he wants for Christmas after meeting her. Sheila Rabe illuminates the pre-holiday season with a humorous tale. Harriet Klausner

My namesake disappoints,
By
This review is from: All I Want for Christmas (Paperback)
I came across this book because I share my name with the title character and thought it might be an amusing read. I must say that after the third chapter I gave up. I have never read such drivel in all my life.
Instead of buying this book, I recommend that you purchase "Round Ireland with a fridge" by Tony Hawks - a jolly entertaining book about a man who decides to hitch-hike around Ireland with a domestic appliance. You probably think I'm joking. I'm not - buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Heartwarming story for the holiday season,
This review is from: All I Want for Christmas (Paperback)
This romance is a bit of a cross between a modern day It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Susan Carpenter, widow and mother, teaches a modern-day Grinch Scrooge, Luke Potter, the true meaning of love and the spirit of Christmas. Sweet romance, a couple of kisses. Good to put in someone's stocking this year.
