Top 5 Christmas Songs that Get you in the Yuletide Mood.
- “Last Christmas” by Wham
This song makes me bittersweet, but I am ready to settle in with a good romance book that offers a second chance love. Hmmm. What would I be reading?
- “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy William
This is my mall song. Bump Halloween and the fall and all the other months and go straight to Christmas. I hear this song, and I am ready to start my shopping list.
- “Silver Bells” by Bing Crosby
This puts me in the mood for all those Hallmark Movies and the Lifetime ones when I know no one is going to die. Ok, I will let a good Christmas stalker movie play.
- “Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer” by Elmo & Patsy
This song always gives me giggles. It takes me back to high school when I first heard it. Being young at heart is the key to a great Christmas.
- “The Christmas Song” (1961) by Nat King Cole
This is another of my mall favorites. It makes me want to light up my fireplace right now and curl up with a blanket and a hot toddy.
If you can listen to these five songs and still have a heart of coal, you just need to pick a good romance to melt your heart. Vanessa’s orders.
Don’t miss The Butterfly Bride by Vanessa Riley, out now.
Frederica Burghley wants to be married by Yuletide. Or else her father will set her up with one of his friends. The bonbon-loving illegitimate daughter of the duke wants to choose her own husband. Advertising in the newspaper seems like the way to go. But a sinister response, with threats against her life, leads her to enlist the help of her very handsome, dear friend Jasper Fitzwilliam, Lord Hartwell.
A father and widower, Jasper is not only tasked with keeping Frederica safe but also with helping his vibrant friend choose a suitable husband. The more he tries to keep the ever-surprising woman alive and find her a good match, the more Jasper realizes he cares for her. The two friends risk their lives for each other, so they should be able to risk their feelings for a chance at a deep and true love together. But he’s not looking for marriage and she’s not looking for convenience.
