Four #Christmas #Romances by Karen Rose Smith

What novel is better to read this time of year than a holiday romance?

Writing novels set around the sentiments of Thanksgiving and Christmas evoke emotion in the characters. They remember past Christmases, childhood ornaments, wreaths on the door. The holidays bring with them a yearning for belonging. That's where romance and family come in.

If you enjoy books that employ the meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas in their storylines, here are five of my books you might enjoy.

A doctor and a Wyoming cowgirl fall in love around the holidays. Lucy's gift to Zack -- the real meaning of Christmas.

Sneak Peek--APRIL'S PROMISE by Karen Rose Smith

I'm taking part in a Sneak Peek blog hop by my writer's group. APRIL'S PROMISE is my new release, the first book in my FOREVER LOVE series. April made a promise to her dying sister that now haunts her. She has returned to her home town because...

Gabe needs you.

April Remmington could hear her mother's voice as clearly as if Winnifred Remmington were standing beside her.

Waiting at her brother-in-law's door in the dimming light, April rang the bell a second time. As the October breeze tossed russet leaves around the pillars on the porch, she tried to lock the secret she carried in a tight box in her heart.

If Gabe ever found out what she knew--

After a few more minutes, she turned the knob and pushed the door open. The sound of happy-go-lucky, children's music blared from the kitchen into the foyer. There were toys strewn in the living room from one end to the other.

The half-eaten sandwich on the coffee table and the tilted-over tumbler lying on its side told April even more explicitly than her mother's words that, since Stephie's nanny had left to help her daughter, Gabe was having problems juggling being a CEO and a single parent.

New Release by Karen Rose Smith, APRIL'S PROMISE, Forever Love series

NEW RELEASE!!!

Some stories sit in my heart until I feel the time is right to bring them into the light. APRIL'S PROMISE is one of those books. It stretches the bounds of category romance. But at its heart, it's a reunion romance, which are my favorite romances to write. My plotlines usually spin around the integrity of my hero and heroine. An honorable man, Gabe never imagined his wife, April's sister, wouldn't be honorable. An honorable woman, April made a promise to her sister when she was dying because it was the right thing to do. In the end, Gabe and April realize only true honesty can be the foundation for a lasting commitment.

After writing and seeing published over eighty novels, I don't think I'll ever tire of weaving romances and giving my characters happily-ever-afters. APRIL'S PROMISE is the first book in my FOREVER LOVE series. And, yes, the next book is plotted. The hero will be Nicholas, Gabe's best friend. I like writing a series because, like my readers, I look forward to returning to the same town and characters who I've gotten to know in a previous book. Cedar Corners is a small town near Richmond, Virginia, and a perfect setting for this series.

Already I have plans in the works and a narrator lined up to produce APRIL'S PROMISE into an audiobook. I'm also hoping that by the end of July, it will be available in print.

When I'm not writing romances, I'm writing mysteries, or blogging, or Skyping with another writer. To take a break from that side of my life, I enjoy digging into my mother's and grandmother's recipe boxes to create food to enjoy with family and friends. I also garden, and watching plants grow is a similar process to watching a plot develop!

I look forward to many more plots developing for the FOREVER LOVE series.
