![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I received an ARC from Ylva Publishing for an honest review. However, if you love a good, angsty medical romance, then you should try both of these books. You do not need to read the first book before this one. Heart Failure is a standalone novel, but the story is written in the same world as her first novel. I noted the same skill in my review of her debut novel Irregular Heartbeat. Zett seems to have a knack for creating memorable characters that she then allows to grow and mature in her books. It was fun watching the two characters grow individually as people and grow together as a couple. Holly is determined to get a gay Christmas movie on the network. Zett did an excellent job of creating these characters with their flaws and quirks. The Holiday Treatment by Elle Spencer Holly Hudson is working on the Wifetime Network’s very cheesy, very straight holiday romance series: Christmas in Evermore. There is a lot of angst in this story since both characters must deal with heartache from their pasts as well as fear of their present and future. There she meets her mother’s tenant, Lena Walker, and all kinds of sparks fly between them. Not long after this blessed event, Jess suffers a rare and possibly dangerous form of heart failure, and is forced to move in with her mother as she tries to recover. Jess Riley giving birth to her daughter Ella. Chris Zett has written another beautiful and heartwarming tale with her latest novel Heart Failure. ![]() ![]() Bujold’s SHARDS OF HONOR is the first book in her SF universe to feature the Vorkosigan clan, followed by the Hugo award-winning BARRAYAR.

What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past? We came up with the idea towards the end of 2012, when both Ana and Thea were feeling exhausted from the never-ending inundation of New and Shiny (and often over-hyped) books.
