A Frost Filled Christmas (Ribbon Series)
Amanda K
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Annabelle Granger is the black sheep of a high-achieving family, a quirky disaster prone to bad hair days and even worse luck. Desperate to prove her worth, she inherits her grandmother’s matchmaking business with one goal: land Chicago’s most eligible bachelor as a client. Enter Heath Champion, a ruthless, high-stakes sports agent who demands nothing less than perfection. He is looking for the ultimate trophy wife, and he believes Annabelle is the only one bold enough to hunt her down.
While this story delivers a quintessential contemporary romance, fans of the paranormal genre will adore the way it leans into the found-family trope. Just like the unexpected bonds formed between shifters in a pack, the eccentric cast of characters surrounding Annabelle and Heath creates a tight-knit, protective circle that feels like home. It is a world where loyalty runs deep and the connections forged are as powerful as any supernatural pact.
Prepare for a wild, laugh-out-loud ride that balances sharp wit with genuine heart. As Annabelle navigates the cutthroat world of elite dating, she finds that the toughest negotiator in town is impossible to resist. This is a must-read for anyone craving a spirited, character-driven romance that proves love is the ultimate magic.

The main characters are supported by a cast of interesting secondary...

The most obvious limitation of the romance genre is that the story, inevitably, is so linear, going ultimately to \"happily-ever-after.\" This being the case, it is the journey, and not the destination, which makes these novels so much fun. Susan Elizabeth Phillips, or \"SEP\" to her most devoted fans, is the current grande dame of this genre. No one writes a better romance than she does--hence her consistent successes. MATCH ME IF YOU CAN has all of the hallmarks of a SEP book: clever plot,...
