Synopsis:
Janie Montgomery leaves Seattle to escape sad memories and spend Christmas with her aunt in Spokane. On the way her car is stranded in a ditch, surrounded by a mountain of snow. EMT Greg Kincaid comes to her rescue in an SUV, like a knight in snowy armor. It is the beginning of a love story as mystifying as a white-out, as gentle as falling snow, as colorful as Christmas decorations, and as sweet as homemade cookies. Only by the grace of God can Janie and Greg weather the storms and find true love.

That teaser made me smile...I've known people like that! Enjoy...and thanks for sharing. Here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
ReplyDeleteI've had friends like that too. One even put Christmas sheets on her bed! But I can't say that I've ever seen Christmas toilet paper.
DeleteWhat a cute teaser, it put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteI guess I can relate to teaser. It made me smile, too!
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser this Week
Gigi Ann and Jenn: I smiled when I read that too. Although I don't usually read this genre, I enjoyed both the stories in this novella, especially since one was historical and the other was contemporary.
DeleteNice one :)

LOL...snowflake toilet tissue would be a bit much. My teaser: The Unsung Hero
ReplyDeleteI agree. That's definitely over the top!
DeleteThank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
Haha, it reminds me of my mother in law. Great teaser and thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI once visited a home where the proliferation of snowmen reminded me of a scene from Hitchcock's "The Birds." I almost felt threatened!
DeleteThat house sounds way too chilly for me. Great teaser, though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my brother, he is into decorating for holidays. A bit too much for me, but he enjoys it as does is grandkids!
ReplyDeleteEvery time my granddaughter comes over, we discuss the ornaments on the tree (she's 2 1/2). I think she'd like to have Christmas stuff in every room of the house!
DeleteReally nice teaser :) thank you for sharing it. and for stopping by Fire & Ice
ReplyDeleteThank you all for such a warm reception of our snowy Christmas Calling!
ReplyDeleteColleen
Thank you for stopping by, Colleen. It's always nice to get feedback from an author.
DeleteI want snowflake toilet tissues :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at my TT
Oh, the other novella of the book! Great teaser, very cute! I think it would be fun to be in house so overly decorated for the holidays haha. Thanks for sharing & stopping by Bookmunchies (:
ReplyDeleteCute teaser, overdecorating at Christmas can be both funny and annoying! Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteI liked thinking about a house decorated for Christmas. Great teaser!
ReplyDeletegreat teaser for the season, thanks! tp snowflakes, that's cool!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, so cute! That's exactly what I would do! My family isn't as keen on decorating as I am, but we do pretty well. I would most definitely go for the toilet paper. :) Great teaser!!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Paper Cuts
I wonder where you can get snowflake TP? That would be fun to put in my powder room for a party.
DeleteI will ask Birdie, Sandy . . . and see if she knows!
DeleteMy dad does that too! great teaser and thanks for the visit! ^^
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! ^^
Great teaser! I'm a big fan of decorating everything. Thanks for stopping by my site.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely sounds like a sweet story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at Kero's Book Blog.
I am very big on seasonal books. Interesting teaser.
ReplyDeleteWell of course the tissue paper had snowflakes! Great teaser! Sounds like my kind of book! Thanks for stopping by the other day!
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! Her mom really gets into the Christmas spirit :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier this week! Sorry it took me so long to visit your teaser :)
nice teaser. Those two sentences actually puts me in the Christmas spirit even more. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas stories. I used to decorate every inch of my house too, but my littles got into everything too much. I have lots of broken Christmas decorations now. LOL
ReplyDeleteI checked with Birdie and she doesn't know if or where one could get Christmas T.P. She had a friend who used to have it but that was yearsa ago. So maybe we'd best mark that part of the story off as fiction! Merry Christmas, everyone, and thanks again for your great comments.
DeleteColleen
Thank you for your research, Colleen. It seems Christmas T.P. is a rare commodity nowadays!
