Small Town Christmas and Amy's Christmas Casserole - Tammy Tate
ABOUT THE BOOK –
After ten years, Brandy blames herself when she gets
blind-sided by her husband and he brings their marriage to a screeching halt.
Mentally, she’s crushed and confused as to what went wrong and the breakup
traps her in a dark, cynical place that she can’t seem to pull herself out of.
Losing her job at a time when her self-esteem is already at an all-time low
only adds to her depression.
In Brandy’s eyes, she’s a train wreck searching
for a place to derail. Two weeks before Christmas her mother suggests that she
move home. Taking her mother’s advice, Brandy leaves Dallas, Texas for
Wauchula, Florida.
Once Brandy gets to Florida, she’s greeted by
Connie, a high school acquaintance that she hasn’t seen in over ten years.
Brandy learns Connie’s brother is flying in from Chicago for the holidays and
has just underwent a nasty divorce of his own. Connie’s determined, with
Brandy’s help, they can cheer him up. Brandy’s not convinced.
To Brandy’s surprise, Shaun is no longer the tall,
geeky kid she remembers from high school with black rimmed glasses, taped on
the sides. He’s tall all right, and sexy as hell, wears contacts and sports an
eight pack instead of six.
One day at the zoo changes their life forever.
ABOUT THE BOOK –
After being attacked in the parking lot of her San Antonio
apartment complex, Amy fears all men. One day she stumbles upon Sawyer Creek.
Using all her savings, she buys a small house and café and her Chicken Dorito
Casserole becomes an all-time favorite among the community. After four years,
the nightmares have stopped, but the panic attacks haven’t. Christmas is four
weeks off when the Sheriff calls saying a shovel hit the backdoor of her café,
setting off the alarm. Vowing to never be a victim twice, she arms herself with
the shovel only to learn that he’s been shot. Can she help him despite her fear
of men?
MY THOUGHTS - A really nice quick Christmas read. Great characters that I fell in love with right away. We all love a mysterious bad guy, right. Or... is he a bad guy??? He may just end up being Mr. not so bad after all. This one has it all - a cafe', a gunshot, some romance, and a lot of suspense.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR –
Tammy Tate was born and raised in Hollywood,
Florida but has lived most of her adult life in Texas. Her passion to write
began in high school. It follows her everywhere she goes...creating a world
where anything is possible. She's been married to the same wonderful man for
over thirty years. Her secret to a long marriage? It's easy when you marry your
best friend. In her world, Friday night is still date night.
Before she became a full-time author, she was an
Executive Secretary, a Computer Consultant/Technician, and a Communications
Officer (Police Dispatcher). She doesn't mind a challenge which has allowed her
to race a late-model in a women's powder puff race, run barrels and poles in a
play-day rodeo and drive an 18-wheeler. Somewhere in between, she and her
husband raised three wonderful children. When she's not breathing life into her
characters or jotting down ideas for a new book, she and her husband are
spending quality time together.
Since she believes reading is the next best thing
to writing, she enjoys romance, fantasy, science fiction
