Santa,
Bring Back My Baby
By:

Blurb
A
bride abandoned at the altar…just in time for Christmas? 'Tis the
season for second chances at Cheryl Harper's Elvis-themed
Rock'n'Rolla Hotel.
After
trying and failing at acting, modeling, dog grooming, and a dozen
other jobs, Grace Andersen thought for sure she'd nail marrying a
rich man. But dumped in a hotel chapel and strapped for cash, Grace
needs a miracle - and a job.
If it
were up to Charlie McMinn, Grace would be a married lady by now.
Officiating weddings in gold lamé and a rock-star pompadour may not
have been his idea of getting into the holiday spirit, but with a
gorgeous bride asking for his help, Charlie doesn't mind sticking
around his mother's hotel a few more days. Especially if it means
getting Grace settled.
Grace
isn't sure what to think of sexy, rugged Charlie, except that she
can't deny the attraction between them, or how good it feels to
finally fit in somewhere. Is she ready to give a certain place-and a
certain someone-a real chance? Or will she deny a true Christmas
miracle?

Chapter
Two Excerpt, Santa, Bring My Baby Back
All
the way around the pool area with its cheery inflatable snowmen and
flashing candy canes and down the long hallway decorated with album
covers and three different themed Christmas trees, Grace rehearsed
her lines in her head. She was going to need a job, a place to stay,
and some time to pay her hotel bills. Checking all three off the list
might take some finesse.
Grace
paused in the doorway of Viva Las Vegas to give her eyes a chance to
adjust to the change from the bright lobby to the darker restaurant.
Her first impressions were of lush plants—a theme at the hotel—and
some rocking Elvis tune competing with the clinks of silverware on
plates and low conversations. A very cute, very young hostess dressed
as a showgirl in Santa’s workshop pointed her toward the bar. When
Grace dumped all her baggage in a seat and draped the dress over the
top, she noticed Charlie, but he didn’t look up from his plate.
Thanks
to his concentration, Grace had a chance to observe him before she
announced her presence. His crisp white dress shirt and black tie
were covered by a large cloth napkin, which might also be a
tablecloth in real life. She appreciated his broad shoulders and the
flex of muscles in his back as he twisted on the seat. The edges of
his sleeves were white flashes as he made steady progress of clearing
his plate with quick bites, not like he was in a hurry, but took
pride in efficient operation. And his long legs were propped up on
the brass footrest that ran along the bottom of the bar. His slicked
back black hair was probably the stillest part of his body. Charlie
seemed capable. Strong. Solid. For some reason, she had the urge to
wrap her hand around his arm and maybe rest her head on his shoulder.
Not
exactly what she expected from a man with rock-star good looks and
enough gunk in his hair to preserve his style in a tornado.
She
patted her own, slightly crunchy updo and decided to give him props
for that. It showed commitment.
When
he’d opened her dressing room door, the first thing she saw were
his dark brown eyes. For a minute, she’d been frozen by the
connection. Then she’d noticed his Elvis-like hair and had to
wonder what his story was.

Review
Santa, Bring My Baby Back is the last book in the Rock n Rolla Series. It's a fun holiday read with wonderful characters. At times I did find Charlie to be single minded and he made me mad, but I still liked how he cared for his mother. Grace's life is a mess. She has a plans for herself that hasn't worked out. I find Grace and Charlie to be the perfect couple, complete opposites of each other. Curl up and enjoy this story. Happy reading!
This sounds like a fun read.
