Winter Wonderland by Belinda Jones

 Synopsis:

 Imagine waking up in a snow globe...

That’s how travel journalist Krista feels when she arrives in magical Quebec to report on Canada's glittering Winter Carnival.

Over ten sub-zero days Krista's formerly frozen heart begins to melt as she discovers an enchanting world of ice palaces, husky dog-sledding and maple-syrup treats galore. And then she meets Jacques, a man as handsome and rugged as he is mysterious…

The two share a secret that could bond them forever, but can they find a way to break through the protective layers around their hearts to warm up this winter wonderland?

…let the snow-spangled adventure begin

Winter Wonderland is a chic lite holiday read through and through.  The main reason for that would be the story is about a girl who's on holiday and fell in love within that duration!

All these took place within one or two weeks in the holiday resort in Quebec and during the winter holidays so I guess that sets the stage for the story to develop in a holiday-ish whimsical way.

This is how I would sum up the story....Krista travels to Quebec to try out the ice hotel and other snowing attraction in the resort and finds herself falling for hottie and mysterious Jacques who managed to warm up her heart and melt her senses at the same time.

I guess this would be quite fun to read while you are also on holiday but if you are not, you might like to stay clear away from it until you do cos after reading it, you might be quite tempted to book a holiday to a nearby Winter Wonderland of your own.

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Image
Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out.

Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc. ...
