If you are looking to get into contemporary adult romance that is somewhat closed door, you can’t go wrong with Annie Rains. The Christmas Village is the second in the Somerset Lake series.

Second Chance Christmas by Lori Wilde | Book Review
December 1, 2021
I really never regret picking up one of Lori Wilde’s Twilight, Texas series. Second Chance Christmas is twelfth in the series and really lived up to my expectations.
