About "Special Delivery"
All I want for the holidays is the willpower to resist my brother’s sexy, charming, easy-on-the-eyes new business partner.
Instead, I'm stuck planning all the holiday parties with the one guy who makes me want to break my dating diet.
Who thought that was a good idea?
Oh, me. Yep, brilliant, strategic me who raised her hand and said yes I’d love to hang mistletoe with that hot former sports star. (Note to self: Mistletoe leads to toe-curling, knee-weakening kisses.)
And I’d love to get snowed in with the one guy I shouldn’t fall for. (Addendum to the note to self: You know exactly where eight inches of snow leads to. Ahem, eight inches.)
As long as I can make it through the holidays I’ll be on my merry way, fa la la la la. But the holidays have a surprise for me.
My Review
"Special Delivery" was a cute, sweet holiday novella, and I found it to be a wonderful way to start getting into the Christmas spirit. The main characters, Quinn and Vaughn, were briefly introduced in the previous book of the Always Satisfied series ("Overnight Service"), but even so, this novella is a complete standalone. I liked both Vaughn and Quinn very much upon first meeting them, and they were even more likeable as the stars of this novella.
As the story begins, both Quinn and Vaughn have sworn off dating because each of their last relationships ended badly, so they've both decided to put all of their focus on their careers. However, from the moment they meet their chemistry is off the charts, and they can't help but begin a not-so-innocent flirtation. Their banter as they get to know each other is incredibly amusing, and I especially enjoyed their discussion of childhood "dark secrets" during their first meeting. Quinn and Vaughn's outgoing, fun-loving personalities were a perfect match for each other, and watching them fall in love was delightful.
I have loved each and every one of the stories in the Always Satisfied series, and while I am sad to see the series end, "Special Delivery" was a great way to wrap things up. I can't wait to get my hands on the first book in Ms. Blakely's next series! (Fortunately, I don't have long to wait: "Asking for a Friend" will be here on December 16, and is available for pre-order now.)
