Yule Be Mine

2008
As we finish up the year 2013, I thought a holiday-themed romance was in order for our Friday Fiction selection. Giselle ends up working with some serious forbidden fruit. In this case, it is her super hunky ex brother-in-law, Sam. Yikes! This is just what is needed for the holidays, more family drama!
But wait, it gets better! Journalist Giselle works for a lifestyle magazine called Life Trendz and she is going to Sedona, Arizona to cover a story. She has heard also that Sedona is the happening place around Christmas time because of the certain spike in an energy vortex that can help a woman through tough romantic times. (Really.) She was all set and then her gay best friend and photographer cancelled. Guess who the replacement is? That’s right, kids, none other than hunky Sam, the ex brother-in-law. Will they work it out? It just might be a Christmas miracle!

You don’t get involved with your sister’s ex! Never! It doesn’t matter if she divorced him, you just don’t do it. Not if you want to keep your sister in your life. (No, this is not coming from experience!)
It’s just one of the major no-nos of dating.
What a jerk, being married to one sister and lusting for the other. It sounds like Giselle might be trying to “get back” at her sister, whom she always resented for being the pretty sister who won all the beauty contests!
Ugh, that “sexy banter” in the shower scene. I have to wash my hands. Make up your own hot-and-wet joke, I’m still recovering from the office party.
Yule be sorry if you don’t file your FAFSA by Dec 31.
While not totally relevant to the book, I found the first comment interesting. I’ve always wondered what happens to family relations when the women marries the brother of the man who is off at war in the classic “Dear John” story.
“I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me. And he handed
me a letter. Aw, I was happy as I could be. You see, the fighting was all over and
the battles, they’d all been won. Then I, I opened up the letter and it started “Dear
John.”
(Dear John)
SPOKEN: Will you please send back my picture? You see, my husband wants it
now. When I tell you who I’m wedding you won’t care, dear, anyhow. Now the
ceremony has started and I’ll wed your brother Don. Please wish us happiness
forever, dear John.
I don’t really think that John and Don are going to have a very successful sibling relationship in the foreseeable future.
“He licked the spot he had just nipped.”
UH…yeah.
I was kind of expecting some Yule log jokes.
The yule goat was was hot again this year in Sweden.
