Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was also born and raised in a small town near Fairbanks. Although most of you probably think that's at the end of God's earth, I wouldn't live anywhere else. Romance doesn't happen in our town as reliably and adorably as it does in my fictional series, but still a wonderful place.

Most of my time is spent writing and raising two fabulous kids (does anyone ever say they're raising totally average children?), but I also love cooking, needlework and old movies (got to survive the long, dark winters here somehow!). My wonderful husband and my beautiful husky Apache take up the rest of my day. I love reading romance and women's fiction of all kinds, and will throw a good mystery in once in a while just because I can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christmas stories!

I loved these books! North Pole, Alaska is a magical place. If you want a quick Christmas read that will leave you smiling, these are the books for you.

Blame it on Mistletoe (North Pole, Alaska #1)
I loved this cute Christmas story. When five-year-old DJ Baxter didn't get a reply to his letter to Santa for two years in a row, he decided to go see him and ask why he didn't answer the letters. So he sets off to North Pole, Alaska where he knows Santa lives.

His mother is frantic when she finds him missing. Luckily an old friend of her ex-husband drops by. Sparks fly and they get very close. Their bond becomes even stronger when they take off for North Pole to find her son.

This cute Christmas story takes us into the mind of a 5-year-old which is so much fun but we also have the heartache of a mother whose son is missing. Add a romance to the story and you've got a perfect Christmas escape.

If Only In My Dreams (North Pole, Alaska #2)
I love North Pole, Alaska where Elves personally answer every letter Santa gets. Unfortunately, Elf Amelia got two letters mixed up. She sent a nasty letter to a little boy that was meant for her ex and the nice letter for the boy to her ex. The poor little fella was in tears when he got his letter but the ex was thrilled with the one he got, thinking Amelia was giving him another chance. Things didn't get much better when the boy and his father came to visit North Pole. It didn't work out quite the way the child had hoped. Then when her ex showed up expecting reconciliation, Amelia quickly let him know how wrong he was.

I loved this story and would like to go to this town. The people who live there are kind and thoughtful. Just what you want in a Christmas town. This was a sweet story with lots of laughs.

What Child Is This? (North Pole, Alaska #3)
This is a sweet, emotional story of the magic of Christmas and finding happiness.

It's so cute when a little girl writes to Santa asking him for a daddy for Christmas. She even included a list of possible daddies! Some of them are much too old or just not suitable but to a 6-year-old if he's a man and he's nice, he went on the list. I loved that North Pole, Alaska had Elves answering the kids' letters but the Elf who had to answer this one had my sympathy.

I liked the little girl, in fact, I liked everyone in the whole town. Between the people and the town, I would like to visit this place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Written Feel-Good Fluff. Recommend.
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018
Verified Purchase
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book because I wasn’t familiar with the author. However, I enjoyed the stories very much. They were light, with personable protagonists. There was minor tension, but it was very slight. Essentially, these were feel-good beach read stories, like typical Harlequin/Silhouette Romance books. It’s a given that they were predictable, because that is what the reader wants and expects in this genre. The author did everything right. The only quibble I had was that the last story was slowed down by some repetitive thoughts by the heroine.

These were clean reads, if that is a concern for any readers. I recommend this book for readers just wanting some light feel-good, well written fluff.

And I say that because most of the books that I receive for free are free for a reason - they aren’t very good. These stories were well told and the characters are interesting. I highly recommend them for light reading. I will look for other books by this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute and uplifting
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
These three stories are cute and uplifting, but I noticed a couple of things that kept them from being rated higher. First of all, the kids in all three stories are 5 or 6 years old. They are way too worldly/grownup for this age of child. I doubt a 5 year old would hide in a camper for a trip from Washington state to Alaska and then be able to be mostly on his own for a few days, even buying his own meals. Secondly, Dr. Eli had a full ride scholarship to the University of Washington State. Say what? There is Washington State University and the University of Washington, but no University of Washington State. Needs to be better edited and/or researched.

You do not have to read this book containing three novellas to get in the holiday mood. It offers three heartwarming tales all set in the fictitious town of North Pole, Alaska, and revolves around different children's wishes. This is a well-put-together collection that will leave the reader smiling.

But after seeing all the other great reviews, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did! I loved these three stories and look forward to reading more in the series by this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars completely unrealistic, but feel-good books
Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
Three books in one anthology, set in North Pole, Alaska, where letters to Santa are answered, and where there still is magic.
Three different and perhaps a bit unlikely romances, two involving children, unusual surroundings and quirky characters make this anthology a thoroughly enjoyable read. There may not be fast-paced and nail biting moments of suspense, but the stories flow nicely together, well written and with a sense of humour.
These are just what I call "feel-good" books, like a comfortable old blanket on a cold winter evening.
I would definitely like to read more of this author, and in fact specifically of this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars The North Pole has romance
Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a very cute collection of books set in of all places a town called North Pole . I have read all three and even though they are similar each had their individual quirks and features. They all involve a child withing a letter to Santa and the Elves squad in the small town tries to answer them. Some have a single mom ,others it is, girl left behind. There are tender moments with charging reindeer, a wounded fox and a vanishing moose. There is also a secret Santa who seems to know just what a particular person needs as a side story. Not sure who it is yet. It is best to read them in order since earlier stories are referenced in later books. The plot moves quickly with good description. The romance scenes are appropriate for such a setting , nothing naughty. Remember Santa is watching. The dialogue was realistic and the friendship of the key characters was believable. These were a very quick enjoyable read. I will continue with the series which are all on Kindle Unlimited which is where I borrowed this set.
