Deck the Shelves

 
GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY!



SHILOH, TONI
DECK THE SHELVES

Kendall Jackson is the proud owner of Heartfalls' bookstire, The Cozy Shelf. Her life is one straight out of the pages, except she's missing that leading man. Although she has a crush on the handsome auto mechanic, Quinton Hendricks, Kendall wants an old-fashioned type of romance -- the stuff swoon-worthy romance books are made of. But Quinton seems to need a little prodding.

Something about Kendall sparks hope in Quinton Hendricks that love could be his again. Only being abandoned by his ex-wife has made him cautious to the point of non-moving.

Can two people hesitant on second chances find love as they Deck the Shevles?

My Review:

published in 2018

Squeal! Sqquueeeaaaalll!!! Sqqqquuueeeeeeeeeaaalllll!!!!!! This is so cute and funny and over-the-top bookish! My idea of the bibliophile's ideal holiday read. I mean, there are book quotes at the beginning of every chapter and the heroine owns a bookstore and there's indie author name-dropping and such a toe-curling bookish twist to the love story...I can't even...but it's soooooooooo dreamy! THUD!

And speaking of dreamy...Q!!! Double thud. The cautious way he pursues Kendall, the way the author lets us see into his deep-rooted fears and the way we get to watch him wrestle them into submission by calling on God to help him every step of the way. Hello, fellow Christian fiction readers, this is the kind of inspirational 'umph' we're all clamoring for in our stories!

And have I mentioned all the fainting-couch worthy swoons I experienced while reading Deck the Shelves (eeeeppp -- cutest title ever!) Quinton and Kendall have some chemistry going on! 

Not only that, but Toni Shiloh has created a captivating town with some memorable characters and I can't wait to read more about them. 

Best Christmas romance novella ever!!!!!
