It's December...

Which means only one thing.. It's nearly Christmas! 

Christmas is my all time favourite time of the year! At the first sign of Christmas cards, trees and gifts in the shops I usually start getting festive (even if that means it's August)! I just love it! Although, one thing I never get around to doing and it shocks me a lot, is to read Christmas books!
So, this year I have decided to challenge myself to read 5 Christmas books before Christmas. I have already read Christmas With Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher which was amazing, so the books I am planning to read are.




I have chosen these books because based on the blurb they are just the types of book you can curl up with on a cold winter night and get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Perfect!

I'd love to hear from you if you are planning to read or have read any Christmas books, or if you have read any that I am going to read.

Nightfall by TK Lawyer



Tamara’s spicy scent, thrills, seduces, and weakens him like no other. She is his and he wants her. Unfortunately, she is done with men. Tamara has been burned too many times in the past, and she’s not looking for a relationship…ever. But when she finds a stray dog on her doorstep, she decides she wants a relationship with a male, after all—that of pet and pet owner.

Josh is not a dog, and he has no interest in staying her pet. He has one burning desire—Tamara—in his bed, nightly and permanently. He will stop at nothing to convince Tamara they are better together, and that he needs her, forever.


Their paths are intertwined and their future is inevitable, but will Tamara allow Josh to love, cherish, and protect her? Or will she say goodbye to the amazing, dedicated man, whose loyalty and sweet promises could shatter her walls completely, and consume her with desire?



Thank you to T K Lawyer for sending a copy of this book for me to review. 

This novel was so strange, that I don’t even know where to start with explaining it. It was like nothing I have ever read before, the blurb gives absolutely nothing away and you actually get a shock when you find out what the book is about. 
I loved that you are kept guessing until almost half way through the book and I loved the whole plot and story, it kept me hooked. 

I liked the way TK has written Tamara as plus sized woman, this is something we rarely find in novels and it teaches young (and older) women that you can be attractive, sexy and loved to somebody no matter what you look like or what size you are, and that it doesn’t matter. She was such a down to earth, kind, caring woman that you couldn’t help but love. She just wanted to live her life and finally find somebody to love her and be faithful to her.

I had mixed feelings about Josh the whole way through. At first I hated him, I hated the way he straight away claimed Tamara as his own, didn’t like her talking to or doing anything with anybody but him. Then as they developed their relationship I did start to warm to him as he would do whatever he could to protect and make her happy, even if that meant hurting himself emotionally and physically. He still however had times when he annoyed me by being too protective over Tamara, although you do see why he does this and understand a little more. 

I don’t want to say too much about this book because you could never guess what it is about and I don’t want to ruin it! I would definitely recommend this book to anybody that wants a romantic, thought provoking, suspense building and at times scary book. I cannot wait to read more from TK Lawyer as I think her books will just get better and better.
