About this ebook

So Much for Peace During the Holidays 

Anna Albertini has her hands full during the holiday season. Her boyfriend Aiden is back in town after being undercover across the country for the last three months, and his sudden over-protectiveness is a little too much. In addition, Nonna’s latest matchmaking scheme has been so far thwarted by the two most stubborn candidates alive, and Nonna is out of patience and bringing out the big guns. Anna is forced to both protect her sister and run interference, when she’d like to jump in and find a happily ever after for everyone instead.

To add to her already hectic life, her life-long stalker is about to make a move and doesn’t hide that frightening fact, although Anna is more than ready for him. In fact, she’s willing to draw him out to finally bring him down—regardless of the consequences. Finally, Santa has been arrested and charged for murder, needing a good lawyer. Who would arrest Santa? Anna can’t let this stand. It’s a good thing Christmas is a time of magic and miracles, because she’s going to need one.

Ratings and reviews

If this wasn’t already one of my favorite series, this installment would have put it in first place. Anna and all her wacky friends, co-workers and family take romantic suspense to a whole new level. Suddenly, all that is intense in a romantic/mystery/thriller/suspense story is amplified by the hilarious moments of levity this cast of characters bring. The fact that the humor is mature and doesn’t rely on slapstick or childish actions makes this perfect. I love Anna and her fierce determination and loyalty. Being a lawyer is usually a career I’m not a fan of for the heroine, but not so for Anna. Watching her fight for her clients is not only fun, but intriguing as the clues and danger slowly unravels. I mean, who the heck would ever think there was anything dangerous about a group of elderly Santas? The unfolding of the who, what and why kept me fully engaged. Aiden hasn’t been a huge part of this series although his presence is never forgotten. This time, however, he’s very much in the forefront of Anna’s processes and it made me anxious to see what the end result of her searching was going to lead to. He’s a wonderful hero, protective above all else even as he struggles to allow her the independence she needs. I’m curious to see what this author has in store at this point. This could be the end, but why would it be? I’m not a fan of series, but oh my gosh! This could carry on so much longer, giving us more of everything that is Anna Albertini and her wild group.
