WWW Wednesdays #33

Since my emails are down 200, I can manage to write a quick post, which I’m doing on the phone since my hands aren’t behaving. I did read all 50 prompts, but I can’t restart the board because I don’t have the strength to submit the books I read for the first one. Sam’s currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.

The Three Ws are:

Amazon Blurb:

The only thing I hate worse than Christmas is Cooper Freaking Kellogg.

Liesel:
My reason for hating Christmas is simple: my mom loved Christmas, and now she’s gone. My reason for hating Cooper Kellogg is also simple: he annoys the jingle out of me. The all-star, all-ego player is on the injured list, and—lucky me!—we’re assigned to work on a special project together. Between awkward team events, a Christmas escape room, and some very inconvenient mistletoe, Coop and I are getting way too close for comfort.

Then we’re trapped in a blizzard overnight, and Coop’s cocky grin slips, showing the man behind the mischief. I start falling for his exasperatingly handsome face faster than the snow can pile up around my car. Unfortunately, my overprotective MLB dad and brothers have one rule bigger than Santa himself: no dating players. And it’ll take a lot more than Christmas magic to change their minds.

Cooper:
Liesel Fischer is the Grinch I never knew I needed. She’s smart, snarky, and treats me like a typo she wants to delete. So naturally, getting under her skin is my new favorite Christmas tradition. It doesn’t matter that I’m itching to unwrap all the intriguing layers beneath her prickly exterior. And it especially doesn’t matter that she’s the first woman I’ve ever wanted to drop my own walls for.

I’m not allowed to date her.

I shouldn’t date her.

But after a blizzard traps us in her car and I miss my flight home, I’m definitely going to date her.

Now if a Christmas miracle can just convince her family that we belong together.

I’ll put it in my letter to Santa.

Goodreads Blurb:

Etta and Dora, both newly retired teachers, travel from their home in Southern Italy to a fairy-tale German town for their first home swap holiday, delighted by their neighbours’ warm welcome. But the welcome turns sour when the Night Watchman of Rothenburg is brutally murdered while his tour group takes photographs nearby, a halberd buried in his chest and a peculiar iron mask by his side.

When the murderer claims a second victim and the son of their hospitable neighbours becomes the number-one suspect, Etta’s analytical mind goes to work. Why was a shame mask left at the scene of each murder? Is there a clandestine trade going on behind the scenes of apparently upstanding local businesses? And why does every lead take her back to the sinister Devil’s Ale pub and the terrifying gang who lurk within?

Meanwhile, Dora has a puzzle of her own – how can she persuade Etta that a loveably disobedient Basset Hound called Napoleon is now a permanent part of their lives?

Goodreads Blurb:

ometimes, you have to lose everything to discover who you really are.

They’re opposites in the widest degree.

Elise Hahnfeld is the ‘perfect’, obedient, high-performing office worker. She’s been a doormat for so many years it felt second-nature, but she’s growing exasperated at the drudgery of her normal life, her job that’s taken more from her than she can afford to give. If only someone was there to show her a different path, one where the unknown can be exciting instead of terrifying. Someone who could distract her from the mundane. When Elise loses everything, desperation drives her to do something unthinkable.

She gives up control to a dominant woman with a taste of the forbidden.

Sierra Kernan isn’t a stereotypical Mistress. She’s masculine, cocky… and exactly Elise’s type. Sierra is a barber-turned disciplinarian with a body that could turn even the straightest woman into a flustered mess with just a command. Sierra is everything that Elise isn’ confident, strong, and self-assured.

When their paths meet, Elise realizes that Sierra isn’t the revered Mistress she claims, but a woman with a dark past. Sierra’s jealous twin sister Abi is a toughened mercenary determined to make their lives a whole lot messier.

It’s a delicate dance of trust and submission. Elise is repressing a feistiness that only Mistress Sierra knows how to tame… but who says that being tamed is a bad thing?
Ready to surrender control? Get your copy today and step into a world where dominance is electric, secrets run deep, and giving in might just set you free.
