Author Bio:
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to Rhode Island. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm, riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.

SOUTHERN BORN BOOKS CHRISTMAS TOUR BLOG TOUR+++ GIVEAWAY~~~ FT. KIM BOYKIN, ERIKA MARKS, KAIRA ROUDA, AND TRACY SOLHEIM
Just in Time for Christmas Synopsis:
Nobody does Christmas like Miranda Hamilton, and now that she finally has her chance to chair Magnolia Bay's tree lighting and the cotillion, which benefits her late mother’s breast cancer foundation, this Christmas is shaping up to be the best ever. That is until her childhood nemesis Logan Mauldin buys his way on her committee and starts making plans of his own.
Logan Mauldin loves to get under Miranda's very sexy skin,
and it's only fair. She's been getting under his since long before their first
kiss at 13. Logan’s the last man interested in co-chairing a Christmas
committee or participating in a sexy bachelor auction, but since that night he
interrupted Miranda on a date and cornered her under the mistletoe, he can't
stop thinking about her. Or vying for her attention and bugging the hell out of
her.
Christmas cheer isn’t the only thing that heats up between the
Miranda and Logan, but, thanks to a lie that is as much her fault as it is his,
he loses the woman he’s loved since forever. Logan will need a Christmas
miracle for Miranda to forgive him. A grand gesture to melt her heart and win
her back just in time for Christmas.
By the end of this story I was melting.
The story
switches between the main characters point of views but told in third
person. The story is very well written. I fell in love and had a hard
time putting it down to make dinner.
Remember
the saying, when a boy picks on you it's because he likes you? Well here
is two people that didn't realize that's exactly what was going on and
is still going on.
I absolutely love these characters. Even Miranda, who is too stubborn to let life happen and stop trying to control it.
Logan
is going after what he wants. He just isn't ready to admit just what he
wants, even if everyone else is telling him they already know. The both
fight the inevitable, but their is only one way to win.
I
absolutely need to read more by this author. This is my first holiday
book of the year and I am very pleased it kicked off the season with a
perfectly jolly start.

The Trouble With
Christmas Synopsis:
At 35-years-old, Cole Stanton is burned out. His high-paced, uber-successful career has left him yearning to start over. He finds Indigo Island, buys a restaurant and settles into an uncomplicated life. But Christmas is a mess. He has over-committed the small restaurant’s resources again, and is over his head. He finds himself longing for everything he has left behind, until a chance encounter with gorgeous Lily offers a spark of salvation to his business and, perhaps his life.
Beautiful pastry chef Lily Edmonds is thirty years old and
heartbroken. It’s just before Christmas and she’s just been dumped by via
telephone by her fiancee. Her best friend Avery Putnam invites her to Indigo
Island, hoping to add joy back into Lily’s life. A chance encounter with the
sexy owner of a local restaurant makes Lily feel an attraction she thought
she’d never feel again, and offers her a business challenge to keep her mind

Holidays at Magnolia
Bay Synopsis:
After a mission goes terribly wrong, ending in the death of a teammate, Navy Seal, Drew Lanham, is forced to take a leave from active-duty. Retreating to his godmother’s beach house in coastal Magnolia Bay, Drew plans to spend the three weeks R&R licking his wounds and catching some rays while the nightmares from his failed op fade. The last thing he wants to do is mingle with the locals. What he doesn’t count on is an early morning encounter with a goddess rising from the sea. His interest is piqued and his body put on alert when he finds out that same woman may or may not be after his godmother’s money.
Marine biologist, Jenna Huntley, has been searching her
whole life for a place to call home and Magnolia Bay is that place.
Unfortunately, she’s underutilizing her education giving tours at the town’s
turtle rescue center. With the help of an octogenarian patroness, she maps out
a proposal to develop a turtle hatchery on-site. Everything is going as planned
until the older woman’s godson arrives. Suddenly, nothing is as it seems and
Jenna’s future is hanging in the balance, with a sexy warrior pulling all the
strings. Her natural tendency is to help the damaged hero, but she’s sworn off
letting military men in her life ever again.
Will Drew and Jenna be able to put their pasts behind them
and learn to trust their hearts long enough to enjoy their Holiday at Magnolia
Bay?

A Very Married
Christmas Synopsis:
Cookbook author Marley Chambers can’t think of a more festive way to spend Christmas than at a friend’s holiday wedding in her hometown of Magnolia Bay. If only her soon-to-be ex-husband, all-star pitcher, Beckett “Beck” Chambers wasn’t bringing his new girlfriend—and if only he wasn’t still the sexiest man to ever walk out onto the mound…
Beck never wanted the chaotic life of a sport
star—especially not at the cost of his marriage to the only woman he’s ever
truly loved. But his career is a runaway train—and he’s afraid it’s too late to
hit the brakes.
But when a mix-up leaves Beck and Marley stranded together
for Christmas Eve on the barrier island where Beck proposed years before, old
memories burn bright—and sparks fly hotter than a bonfire on the beach.
Could the magic of the season bring the gift of a second
chance, just in time for Christmas?
Erika Marks Bio:

many different jobs, including carpenter, cake decorator, art director, and
illustrator. But if pressed, she might say it was her brief tenure with a
match-making service in Los Angeles after college that set her on the path to writing
love stories (not that there isn't romance in frosting or power tools!) A
native New Englander, she now makes her home in Charlotte, NC, with her
husband, a native New Orleanian who has taught her to make a wicked gumbo, and
their two little mermaids. For more on Erika’s books, visit her website at
