[Book Review] Minotaur By J.A. Rock & Peet’s Coffee Warrior Grounds
Minotaur is 60% coming-of-age story and 40% monster hunt adventure. Set in the 1930’s, the book opens with 16 year old Thera Ballard coming to live at Rock Point Girls’ Home, an all-girls orphanage, after the last of her family washes their hands of the troublesome teen. Mad at the world and determined to hate everyone and everything, Thera feels a strong kinship with the Minotaur, a vicious sorceress with her own anger problems who once went on bloody rampage through a nearby town until she was imprisoned in the labyrinth.

[Book Review] Winter Wonderland By Heidi Cullinan & CoffeeAM Kozy Fire Flavored Coffee
Paul Jansen is a romantic. He loves cozy Christmas romances and wants more than anything in the world to be loved by someone who will hold him close and never let him go – and when you meet his homophobic, controlling, judgmental family it’s easy to see why he needs someone like that in his life. Having watched the past two years as both of his best friends got their "Mr. Right" for Christmas, he hardly dares to hope that this year might be his turn.

[Book Review] The Three Sisters (The Krampus Chronicles #1) By Sonia Halbach & San Marco Coffee Sugar Plum Berry
The Three Sisters is a wonderfully whimsical and wholly imaginative Christmas tale that starts with the real-life controversy over the authorship of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (Clement Clarke Moore versus Henry Livingston) and then spirals into a Christmas Eve adventure that leads the grandchildren of the two authors in question on a not-so-merry, and sometimes scary, chase.

[Book Review] A Little Bit Of Sugar By Erin Quinn & Dunkin’ Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donut Coffee
JT Winchester and Madison were hot and heavy back in the day – waaay back in the day. It’s been eleven years since their romance abruptly ended with JT leaving their small town of Plymouth Rock and Madison nursing a broken heart. Now JT is back in town to take care of some family business over the Thanksgiving holiday and he and Madison gravitate back towards each other like magnets – they just can’t stay away from each other.
