Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan has to prepare for the Christmas season and her best friend's wedding, while contending with a reality TV executive that's more interested in drama than happily ever afters. She'll need to rally the town and herself to ensure the televised wedding is a winter wonderland.
 
                                                                  	*****

Two years after the shocking conclusion of the reality dating show, Finding Mrs. Claus, cameras return to the idyllic town of Anne's Ferry to televise the much anticipated wedding between America's favorite Santa, Rowan Thomas, and his sweet bride, Ellie Walsh. Which means the town's self-appointed cheerleader, Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan, is overwhelmed with attending to the production team, Christmas tourists, her bridesmaid's duties, and her long-distance relationship with TV producer, Noah Cyrus. She thought this event would at least give her more time to be with Noah, except he's replaced last minute with Adam Metzger, a man whose charismatic smile fails to hide his unquenchable desire for drama. As Charlie battles her own relationship struggles, she goes head-to-head with the devious producer to make sure Rowan and Ellie make it down the aisle with their love still intact.

For Now and Forever (The Inn at Sunset Harbor-Book 1) by sophielove_author

Emily Mitchell, 35, living and working in New York City, has struggled through a string of failed relationships. When her boyfriend of 7 years takes her out for their long-awaited anniversary dinner, Emily is sure that this time will be different, that this time she will finally get the ring. When he gives her a small bottle of perfume instead, Emily knows the time has come to break up with him-and for her entire life to have a fresh start. Reeling from her unsatisfying, high-pressure life, Emily decides she needs a change. She decides on a whim to drive to her father's abandoned home on the coast of Maine, a sprawling, historic house where she'd spent magical summers as a child. But the house, long-neglected, is in dire need of repair, and the winter is no time to be in Maine. Emily hasn't been there in 20 years, when a tragic accident changed her sister's life and shattered her family. Her parents divorced, her father disappeared, and Emily was never able to bring herself to step foot in that house again. Now, for some reason, with her life reeling, Emily feels drawn to the only childhood place she ever knew. She plans on going just for a weekend, to clear her head. But something about the house, its numerous secrets, its memories of her father, its oceanfront allure, its small-town setting-and most of all, its gorgeous, mysterious caretaker-doesn't want to let her leave. Can she find the answers she's been looking for here, in the most unexpected place of all? Can a weekend become a lifetime? FOR NOW AND FOREVER is book #1 in the debut of a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night-and will make you fall in love with romance all over again.

Unexpected by Mrs_Write

For recent law school grad Charlotte Maxwell, real life has never been so good. On a post-graduation vacation with her best friend, the last thing Charlie is thinking about is meeting anyone: all she's looking to do is eat, drink, and get some sun (although not necessarily in that order). After three stressful years of focusing on school, Charlie's long overdue for some relaxation and she intends on maximizing every moment of this trip...by doing absolutely nothing. What she doesn't expect on her perfect vacation is to meet the perfect guy. Alex is smart, funny, and handsome. Despite their different backgrounds - Charlie is from a Midwestern middle class family while Alex is a wealthy Brit - their chemistry is undeniable. Charlie's not exactly the vacation fling kind of girl, but figures she can make an exception in Alex's case. But is Alex really too good to be true? What if the only souvenir Charlie brings back from her vacation is a broken heart? xoxo Steph

Royal Fools by greenwriter

As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy. She doesn't expect that her betrothed, King Emory of Sutherland, will send her straight to an empty estate on an island where they fend for themselves for months. And when he finally shows up, he has the audacity to fool her by introducing himself as someone else. After having killed dozens of chickens with her bare hands to stay alive, and with lying as her ultimate weapon for survival since she left Gavaria, what else can an annoyed, blithe, and audacious Florence do? Of course, she has to return the favor and make him twice the fool. He thinks he's fooling her, and she finds fun knowing it's the other way around. As the harsh winter traps them in the estate, lies, little accidents, and undeniable attraction draw them together stronger than the snowstorm. But not as much as Florence's true reasons for leaving Gavaria, which are also making their way to Sutherland.

Charlie's Web (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79

"We met earlier, kind of," he smiled at her. "I'm Jake." "H-hi!" How had she missed him before? He was delightful. Dark blond hair, slate grey eyes . . . and oh my goodness, that smile!!! To be fair, back in the bar, all of their faces had been merging together, but now she was a bit more with it, she could see this guy was pretty much perfection. What a shame she was getting married . . . No, wait, she wasn't. But he thought she was. And yet here he was, apparently interested. Time to see how this one played out . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlotte Tyler has a theory - when it comes to girls, all guys want what they can't have. The fact her colleague Aaron flirted with her constantly while she was in a relationship and lost interest the second she was single has in no way disproved this theory. And so her best friend Thea comes up with a way to test this further - if Charlie stages her own hen night, will she manage to hook an unsuspecting guy? Despite being technically off-the-market? It seems like a crazy idea. But the plan, surprisingly, is a resounding success, and Charlie actually meets and starts to fall for someone as a result. But with an imaginary fiance and an upcoming fictional wedding to juggle, her lies are starting to spin out of control. Is this what she really wants?

Weird but she agrees to do exactly that. Nick keeps claiming that he's Santa Claus's Son and that there's this whole Christmas wonderland where people compete to be Santa...she just goes with it.

Can't wait to read more! [heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0
