Another Delightful Book in Holiday Romance Series Until I started reading this book, I hadn't realized that it was by the same author, and in fact, part of the same series as a story that I just loved, Mrs. Saint Nick. In fact, we see the featured couple from that book briefly in this one. This is a charming little holiday love story that is a smooth, delightful read. The hero and heroine, both museum curators, want to acquire a particular historical kilt for their museums. They had both written a letter to Santa asking for this kilt for Christmas and also to find their other halves. While some at the North Pole may think that this is a job better suited for Cupid, Santa says it is their domain because the letter was sent to him. It turned out both also wanted the kilt for personal reasons as well, her because she hopes it will help her a promotion that will allow her to help assist her sister to provide better for her niece and nephew after the death of her brother-in-law and him as a way of paying homage to a relative. As they try to get the issue of the kilt sorted out, they develop a growing attraction, and it is clear to the reader that they would make a wonderful couple. Again, this is just a delightful, slightly quirky holiday romance. I like this series, where Santa and the North Pole are so real, worrying about modern business practices even, while still being magical (adults writing to Santa?). It's just a lot of fun. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

In The Christmas Kilt, both Jack and Kirsten wish to acquire the McLeod kilt for their respective museums. Each also has a more personal reason to want the kilt. Both of them have written a letter to Santa expressing their desire to meet and fall in love with their as yet unknown ‘other half’. I think you can see where this is going. Travel from Inverness to the North Pole and Christmas Central. Catch up with Santa, Santa's family and the elves as they work to help Jack and Kirsten find their other halves. I love these books and read them straight through.

Book eight in the A Christmas Central Romantic Comedy series a well written story that had me laughing as I read. Santa is playing matchmaker between museum curators Jack Lantz and Kirsten Nichols. Add in one McLeod kilt a kilt worn at the Battle of Culloden over two centuries ago, and you have the making of a fun book to read. I wonder if we will read more about Rapz and Merrilynn. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
