Julie
Marone isn’t your ordinary matchmaker. Instead of setting up
singles, she matches already-happy couples with their dream homes.
It’s her calling. Her gift. And since she lost the other half of
her own happy couple, it’s become her passion.
Cody
Brown isn’t your ordinary cowboy. Instead of roping runaway steers,
he wrangles sick kids and strung-out junkies as an ER doc. It’s his
job. His responsibility. And since his brother lost his wife to a
drunk driver, it’s his mission.
When
Cody moves from Austin to Boston, he wants Julie to find him a condo,
and fast. But she’s got issues with that. Because not only is Cody
single, he’s a doctor to boot, and ever since her fiancé died,
she’s got a major grudge against doctors.
Cody
charms her into breaking her “couples-only” rule, but when he
angles to be her date for her sister’s Christmas Eve wedding, he
finds out Julie’s “no-doctor” rule is unbending. Still, he’s
not quitting, because as hard as Julie fights it, there’s heat
between them. If Cody has his way, they’ll be a couple by
Christmas, and the next dream house Julie finds will be their own.

EXCERPT
Outside,
a sleety December drizzle came down from a leaden sky. Cars shissed
past, spraying sludge. She sprinted next door to the Plaza and
marched straight up to the desk. “I’m looking for Dr. Brown,”
she informed the pretty brunette with the “Ashley” nametag. “Can
you ring his room?”
Ashley
broke into a smile. “Oh, Cody's not in his room. He went down the
street to Starbucks.” Looking up over Julie's shoulder, her smile
widened. “Here he comes now. And he’s got my latte. Isn’t he
sweet?” She sighed.
Julie
turned around. And sure enough, here came Cody, swaggering across the
ultra-opulent lobby, a dozen gilt-framed mirrors ricocheting his
reflection off every wall. Even if she’d tried, she couldn’t
escape the golden hair, the stubbly sun-kissed jaw. She couldn’t
ignore the nut-hugger jeans that served up his package on a plate,
and the battered leather jacket, unzipped to display a rain-spattered
T-shirt plastered to his paving-stone abs.
Ashley
sighed again.

Review
This is the first time I've read a book by Cara Connelly but I can tell you it won't be the last. I found The Wedding Date, which gives you a taste of her new Save The Date series, to be both funny and touching. You so feel for Julie, and all she went though. You can see how much she's hurting as you read her tale. When Cody walks into her life you know right away he's not what she wants, but is what she needs. Do yourself a favor and read this. It has everything in it that you want in a holiday romance. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Connelly is now on my permanent TBR list. Happy reading!
