   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) shaunesay | Jun 21, 2017 |  3 stars A Dixie Christmas is comprised of two short romantic novellas written against a Christmas themed backdrop. They are quick, fun stories to read when you want to get a bit of the holiday spirit but are short on time. The first story is called Blue Christmas and takes place in Memphis when a Boston businessman comes to town to check out a hotel he's recently inherited from his now deceased father. Complete with an Elvis themed nativity scene and a crazy family, this story is light hearted and funny. The second story called Jinx Christmas takes place in Louisiana. Here, a famous NASCAR ® driver takes hold of the wheel of his heart and risks it all to let his ex-wife know he is still in love with her. Note: as a huge Nascar ® fan, I loved the premise of this story. Again, let me just say that these stories are short. Being of novella length, the progression of the storyline often seems rushed. Taking that into consideration, I would have liked a bit more as far as the story went but still enjoyed them both for what they were. If you are a reader who requires a backstory and decent amount of detail, this book might not be for you. ( ) showmegirl | Feb 27, 2012 |  ) PopcornReads | Dec 16, 2011 | Two short stories in one book. Their is a lot of laughter,sex and Elvis in the first story. Clayton Jessup III just inheritance a hotel themed around Elvis in Memphis, Tennasee. Clayton lives and works back east and can't believe this part he inherited. The rooms were all decorated around Elvis movies. His suite was the Roustabout. included cotton cany machine,hotdogs ect. Clayton was planning on selling the hotel and the empty lot next door. When he heard animals he looked out the window and saw a living nativity scene on his property included sheep,donkey and real baby. Annie and her brothers set up the living nativity to earn money they needed for their farm. Their parents died a few years ago and they were trying to keep the farm going. They needed a new barn roof, money for vet school and her brother just had a baby left for him. Clayton went to tell them to get off his property but fell and hurt his head and foot. Then Clayton had a bad reaction to medicines so Annie took him home from farm. They were polar oppisites. Clayton lived in a house with 8 bathrooms,cook,gardner east coast. Annie with her brothers and grandmother and the new baby on farm with one bathroom. I enjoyed the story but not the sex scenes. The second story is about Lance Caslow a NASCAR star trying to win his wife back after their divorce 5 years ago. He did not want a divorce and fought it. He was friends with Brenda since they were 5. had one little girl age 7 who wanted her parents back too. Brenda still loved Lance but did not trust him with all the pictures of women draped over him. Also after they seperated Lance got drunk and slept with someone else. Lance asked for help from others and ended up preforming on stage to try and show Brenda how much he still loved her. They were fast reads. I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review by Netgalley. (  ) rhonda1111 | Nov 19, 2011 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Two magnolias-and-mistletoe-inspired holiday stories from the bestselling author of more than thirty romantic, humorous novels. Laughter and love combine in Sandra Hill's BLUE CHRISTMAS--with a touch of Elvis magic. Wealthy Wall Street businessman Clayton Jessup III has only one reason for arriving in Memphis a few days before Christmas--to sell off his inheritance, an embarrassingly kitschy hotel named The Blue Suede Suites. His feelings for the Land of Elvis are dark: his long-dead Memphis mother abandoned him and his dad when Clay was a baby, and now Clay wants nothing to do with a southern legacy that couldn't be more different from his sophisticated big-city life. But then he steps in trouble--literally--when he confronts the bizarre group of Elvis impersonators who've set up a living Nativity scene on his property. One slip of a wingtip in some sheep poop lands Clay in the care of gorgeous Annie Fallon, whose big-haired Elvis-girlfriend get-up can't hide her wholesome, sexy appeal. Annie and her brothers have set up the Nativity scene to earn some badly needed money for their struggling dairy farm. The last thing she needs is an angry Yankee with a concussion and a come-hither smile . . . In JINX CHRISTMAS, sexy NASCAR star Lance Caslow makes a last-ditch effort to win back his ex-wife Brenda. Five years ago, his reckless pursuit of racetrack fame tore them apart and broke Brenda's heart. Now Lance shows up in Louisiana determined to make things right this Christmas, not just for himself and Brenda, but for their young daughter, Patti. He's got his work cut out for him, and desperate measures are needed. Lance will do anything to prove he's worthy of Brenda's trust again--even join the Cajun Christmas show starring a raucous Cajun family whose menfolk dance for charity events in little more than a smile . . .
