ROMANCE AUTHOR LAVADA DEE OFFERS AN ANTHOLOGY OF SEASONAL SHORT LOVE STORIES

In our continuing series featuring holiday books, we welcome Lavada Dee today, author of The Season of Love: Stories of Living and Loving. Learn more about Lavada and her books at her website. lavadadee.com

I have always been an avid reader, and can’t imagine being without a book. With the holiday rush fast approaching, I find I have less time to read. When I’m reading a full-length novel, and can’t get my nose out of it, I can easily burn dinner, among other things. I’ve found at especially busy times an anthology is better for me. 

 They say to write what you read, so I was inspired to write a collection of short stories. Since I’m especially busy at Christmas time, I set the stories around the holiday season. Life can be stressful during the holidays, and when relationships are in peril, the season can be brutal. These stories feature couples re-finding themselves and restoring love to their lives. The collection is designed so that you can start and finish a story in one sitting. Some of the stories are also available on their own at most online retailers. 

The Season of Love

Bahama Christmas
It has been two years since Maddie’s fiancĂ©’s death, and it’s Christmas, the time of family and couples. She is tired of feeling like the fifth wheel. Solution, a cruise. Santa Claus or maybe the Christmas Angel has a gift in store for her.

A Divorce For Christmas 
Unable to get pregnant, Lori Harper is taking getting there to a new level. With How-To books in hand, she has become a woman with a mission. With ‘things’ down to the clinical, Brad is feeling anything but amorous. In fact he has had enough of the command performances and wants out.

The Age of Love
Ariana doesn’t know how she let it happen, but she’s fallen in love with Joel, who is eight years younger than she is. The relationship is complicated by the fact that Joel’s mother is Ariana’s best friend. Joel presses for marriage, but Ariana can’t bring herself to come out with their relationship. The only solution Ariana see’s is breaking off with Joel. He isn’t giving up on them and sets about bringing their relationship out in the open.

No Perfect Marriage
When Kade gets a call in the middle night from his wife, saying their teenage son is in jail, he knows he needs to take a position. The marriage is over, so they need to make it official. But first they need to get Josh home, and to do this they need to present a united family image to the judge. Is the house big enough for both of them, and can they live together until after the holidays?

Spontaneous Love
Leah and Dean Coogan feel that their marriage is in trouble but can’t seem to stop the downward spiral. Leah’s solution is to make everything perfect for Dean. The perfect house, perfect meals, perfect everything. The harder she works, the more Dean feels left out. She doesn’t hear him when he tries to explain that he wants her to do things with him, not for him. 

Thank you for the opportunity to blog on your site today, Anastasia. Wishing you and all your readers happy reading now and throughout the holidays.
