During the holiday season, readers who don’t have as much time to read should consider Christmas-themed short stories and novellas. Queen of Southern women’s fiction Mary Kay Andrews has crafted a story that has everything her readers have come to expect: a quirky heroine with a bit of a dilemma, snappy dialogue, and a swoon-worthy love interest.
“Holiday Hideaway” is the story of a squatter who is discovered by the new owner of the empty rental property just before Christmas. Tilly has no place to stay for a couple of weeks so she decides to camp out in what she assumes will be a vacant rental for which she is the agent. Then an attractive-looking guy shows up with keys in hand, and she runs for the attic with her dog and sleeping bag. What ensues is a comedic series of near misses and text exchanges before things take a turn and the two come face-to-face at last.
Told in alternating points of view, this holiday rom-com is a great way to spend a couple of hours. So grab a mug of your favorite holiday tea or coffee and curl up by the fireplace to enjoy this sweet tale available exclusively on Amazon Kindle and audiobook.
