Free Fall
4 Stars

Photographer Maggie Copeland vowed never to return home to Whidbey Island. But when her brother asks for a favor, she finds herself back in the small town and entertaining salacious thoughts of the sexy stranger she met on the beach. That is until she learns Jack Callahan is a Navy pilot exactly like the man who left her standing at the altar.

A sweet and sexy read that is, unfortunately, undermined by a silly misunderstanding toward the end.

Maggie and Jack are likable characters and they have great chemistry. It is a pity that their relatively angst-free romance is almost ruined by their lack of communication.

Another annoying element is the fact that Maggie's two-timing fiance is not only redeemed but gets his own happy ending. Really?!

Karen Foley's writing style is entertaining despite these issues and I will read more of her books.… (mais)

A Hummingbird Christmas is the first book I’ve read by Karen Foley, but I will be reading more. This was the perfect Christmas time romance, sweet with lots of sexual tension and some hot scenes. I really appreciate when authors don’t drag out the trope; I can’t be with them because…. Of course, there was a bit of it, along with enemies to lovers (although that lasted for just a nanosecond).

I also really enjoyed that Foley infused a lot of the Christmas spirit throughout the entire book. Some authors use it just as a ploy to sell a Holiday book, but when I read a Christmas romance, I want cookies, decorations, tree picking, and festivals, which Foley does perfectly.

There were some tense moments and dramatic ones that kept the story flowing nicely in between the flirting and getting to know each other. A bit of magical realism with the hummingbirds and some tears at the end when we find out some information about a character. All in all, a wonderfully magical Christmas romance.… (mais)
