Nick of Time by Elle James


This time of year, I like to treat myself to a Christmas book or two or three. *g* And this year, one of my favs so far is NICK OF TIME by Elle James.

It's fast-paced, funny, and heart-warming. You'll fall in love with Nick and Mary and all the folks of North Pole, Alaska. Do yourself a favor this year and treat yourself to Nick of Time.

BLURB:

Nick St. Claire had come to North Pole, Alaska, with a few questions for Santa, only Claus had gone AWOL. Clearly, someone was trying to ruin the holidays, though the clever cowboy never had much use for them. Until he met Mary Christmas…

Santa's only child, Mary, was left to tend shop in his absence—suddenly making her a killer's next target. Nick volunteered to protect her, but he was also a stranger with a bundle of his own not-so-saintly secrets. Could Mary enlighten him on the joys of the season, or would a missing Santa squash her holiday spirit?

Thanks for the rec, NJ!! I love holiday romances, and I still love the Harlequin Intrigue line!

NJ! Thanks for recommending NICK OF TIME! I loved writing about North Pole, AK. It is a REAL place and they do have a full-time Santa up there. Glad you enjoyed it. NICK OF TIME is in the running for RT's Best Intrigue for 2008. So cool!

FYI, did you know, my other pen name is Myla Jackson and I write for Ellora's Cave?

It's a wonderful book, Anny.

I actually don't ready many Harlequin Intrigues, Lori. I've always been more of an Silhouette Intimate Moments, which is their suspense line now, Special Edition and a Desires gal. But I picked this one up because of the author and because it was a Christmas book that looked fun!

My pleasure to recommend it!

Congrat on the RT nomination, Elle. I'm not surprised. Nick of Time is very original and fun!

Actually, that's why I picked up the book--because I knew you were Myla Jackson. :-)
