A cozy, fun read for the holidays.

ROOM AT THE INN offers two light, contemporary novellas for some delightful reading this Christmas season. Orange Blossom Christmas, by Kristy Dykes, takes us to a run-down bed-and-breakfast in Florida. Owner Landon Michael is expecting the imminent arrival of the first guest to stay at the inn since his wife had died, over a year ago. Lois Delaney, secretary at a church in north Georgia, is sure this little vacation is exactly what she needs for a relaxing Christmas vacation. What she finds, instead, does not quite live up to her expectations. Landon, on the other hand, is wondering what possessed him to open the inn again, yet is strangely drawn to his guest. When Lois learns she is the inns only guest, she is curious about Landon. The two are drawn together, and Landon is pulled out of his reclusive existence as he gets closer to Lois, even though he is convinced she is as crazy as a loon. It is fun reading and you'll love getting acquainted with Landon and Lois as they each come face to face with their own loneliness and find a special brand of peace at Christmastime. Oh, there are a couple of delicious-sounding recipes at the end of this novella you just have to try. In Mustangs and Mistletoe, by Pamela Griffin, we meet Taylor Summerall, content to work with her parents at the Silver Spur B & B Ranch. When brother Chad coerces Taylor into taking on the responsibility for a friend Chad has invited to spend the holiday at the ranch, Taylor detects some match-making mischief afoot. She is sure she can thwart any attempts to throw her into the arms of Derrick Freeborn, Chad's accountant friend from Chicago. Derrick, seeking some rest and relaxation from the corporate jungle, finds himself at the mercy of Taylor and her `schedule' to teach him all about what happens on a ranch - from learning to ride a horse to camping out on a freezing Texas winter night. Taylor's obvious attempts to keep herself aloof from Derrick only pique his interest in her. Here is a really fun, light-hearted romance with the wonderful backdrop of a Texas Christmas. This is good reading for the season, curled up in front of a cozy fire with a cup of hot chocolate, cappuccino, or just a plain old cup of tea - or any favorite winter-time beverage.
