First Look: Holly Lane—and Publisher's Weekly Review

We’re thrilled to unveil the cover and blurb for Holly Lane, Book 4 in the Destiny Series, and the follow up to One Reckless Summer , Sugar Creek, and Whisper Falls.

The weather outside is frightful, but kisses by the fire are so delightful …

Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas gift to herself—until her ex's best friend, Adam Becker, shows up at the door, claiming the cabin is his! And if that's not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how gorgeous he was?

Alone for the holidays and forced to play a reindeer at the local department store, Adam's been feeling rather Scrooge-ish himself. But finding the smart, sexy woman he's admired since elementary school waiting in the house he rented is helping to brighten his humbug mood. And when a sudden snowstorm strands them together in very close quarters, leading to one very hot night together, Adam soon realizes that what he really wants for Christmas is a second chance at love. Now all he has to do is convince Sue Ann…

Read an excerpt here.

Holly Lane has already received a glowing review from Publisher's Weekly: "Blake balances cinematic imagery (a live reindeer in the backyard) with silliness (Adam in a reindeer suit inviting Sue Ann to play “reindeer games”) while tugging on readers’ heartstrings like a virtuoso harper."

Holly Lane releases October 25, 2011 and is available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Whisper Falls in First Magazine

Toni is thrilled to share that Whisper Falls is in the September 19 issue of First magazine. Whisper Falls is featured on page 110 as one of their editors' reading picks. Editor Krista Winston calls it, "a story of getting what you really need from life rather than getting what you think you want".

Find it now at your local checkout counter, and look for more information about the next book in the Destiny series, Holly Lane, coming soon.
