***This book was on a promotion called Book Bub on Dec 10th and it went wild. Sold thousands of copies and hit #1 on the Amazon Free ranking and then the next day was at #36 on Amazon paid. It took me to the Best-seller’s list and – let me tell you – it has brought huge smiles to the faces of my family for this season. My cheeks hurt because of this lovable angel story. The 145 reviews have been phenomenal and have put me at a rating of 4.5 / 5 stars.
So… if you want a heart-warming Christmas story for either yourself or as a gift for the romance lover on your list, this is the book for you!!

Christmas in
Hawaii! How lucky can a girl get? Except Leilani is bringing her mother’s ashes
home to Waikiki and has an urgent plea of help from an aunt she’s never even
met. After winning two free nights in prestigious Hotel Jordan, things take a
turn she never expected. First she gets stuck in an elevator with the prickly,
but luscious Mr. Jordan. Secondly, her aunt is a sick woman who’s only held on
for one reason. She wants to pass on her most precious possession – her
five-year-old grandchild. The same little fellow that takes one look at
Leilani, slaps his fist on his hips and yells, “Go away!”
owner of the Jordan Hotel Chain and he can’t believe his rotten luck. He broke
up with a spoilt brat of a girlfriend and now he’s stuck in an elevator with a
big-eyed, effusive tourist. How in the world can a guy who’s so worldly get
hooked on a lively beauty with more dilemmas than anyone he’s ever met?

Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for your kind words. You know, I loved writing the Vegas Series and I can't stop thinking of new plots LOL. So… I'm starting a new series called Undercover FBI for next year and it'll be very similar. Good luck with the Hop!!
Hi Tina, thanks so much for stopping by and being a participant. Good luck with the Hop!!
Hi Rebecca, my dear friend. Lovely to see you here. Wishing you the best of luck in the Hop!! xo
Hi Kimberly, I'm so glad you like my site – it's been newly renovated. It tickles me to hear that others appreciate the changes as much as I do. And thanks for the kind words about Loveable! Good luck in the Hop!! 🙂
Hi Eva, It's cool to know I'm not the only one who has to fight for the right to play Christmas music and watch the shows during the holidays. Baking during this season while having the carols playing loudly in the background is so much fun 🙂 Good luck in the Hop!

Hi, Mimi. I loved the post. I've heard about this book and definitely want a copy. I also am so glad I found this hop. I thought was following you already in every form imaginable, but somehow, I'm not. I have no idea what I've missed. Now I know why I've not been getting your wonderful newsletters. Just one more item to chalk up to my hateful Windows 8.1 adventure. Grrr. But the problem is fixed now!

Hi Virginia, what a lovely comment!! You ladies are so sweet! Warm's my heart – truly xo
I noticed you have Quilt Lady as your tag. When I used to have time – I made quite a few by hand. Now my hands are too busy typing LOL
Good luck on the hop!
Hi Mary, Thank you for commenting on my post and Loveable's cover. It's nice to know others appreciate the cover as much as I do. Steven Novak is a genius!! Good luck on the Hop!
Hi Michelle,
Your lovely note warmed my heart when I read it earlier on my phone and I've been wearing a silly smile ever since. Couldn't wait to get home so I could answer. Thank you so much for your continuing support. It makes all the hours I spend at my desk mean something when I know there are friends out there who care. Good luck with Windows 8 my dear – oxox – and the best of luck in the Hop!
Just a note to let you all know what a ditz I am. Because this site has been refurbished, I didn't realize I could reply directly to each comment – maybe cause I didn't read things like I should have…..groan!!! I'm soooo goofy sometime :-))) Will do so from now on….sigh!!

Comment: I greatly enjoyed the post and I'd very much like to spend Christmas in Hawaii. It's snowing quite a bit here and although I do enjoy the snow quite a bit, I think it might be very nice to be looking out at a nice wonderful ocean from a warn sandy beach! Thank you for sharing the above blurb, it was brilliant and left me wanting to know more! To my Must have list it goes! Have a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years to you and anyone else who happens upon this post 😀 Thank you for the chance to enter the giveaway!

Um, I realized I typed a 'warn' sandy beach. I don't really think I'd like that, but I would take a warm one! Sorry about that and sorry that my brain was so slow I caught it after I hit publish on the first one! I think it proves I'm getting old(ish!!) 😛
Hi Shelly, I spent a week in Hawaii in May and fell in love with the place all over again since it was 20 years since I had spent time in Waikiki. Have to tell you – I loved it!! Palm trees, blue waters topped with white crests….okay – I'll stop. White snow looks nice too 🙂 Thank you for signing up for everything and please don't worry about misspelling anything on my blog – happen to me all the time….gulp!!! LOL Hope you also have a wonderful holiday season and a Very Merry Christmas!! xo
Congratulations on your book's success, Mimi. The cover is gorgeous!

I've still never made it to Hawaii…even though I'm more curious about holiday snow, Christmas there would be lovely!
Hi Trix, Many years ago, my husband and I were in Hawaii for the season and it was pretty sweet. Their Christmas trees were upside down, we swam all day and dressed in shorts after. Considering we lived in the Yukon at the time, you're right. It was lovely!! Good luck with the hop and have a wonderful Christmas!!
