Just Who is that Santa in the Corner?

Today's book is a quick novella set back in my favorite fictional town.  That's right, we're back in Keeneston, KY!  I wrote just last month about the first three books that take place in Keeneston.  Before we get to today's book, there's two books in the Bluegrass Brothers series that tell the stories of Cade and Marshall, and how they get their girls.  Then, before the third book, we get Secret Santa!



Two days before Christmas, and we get to revisit some favorite characters.  Kenna is just coming back from shopping for her baby before a long day in Court with Dani.  The friendly town masturbater, Mr. Chapman is back!  He's an amusing man.  So is the case before him where a man might have electrocuted himself by Christmas tree....  Paige is so pregnant she is ready to pop, and so is her new sister-in-law, Annie.  Big, bad Marshall gets cornered by the Keeneston Belles and asked to judge their swimsuit contest.  Dani is struggling with the pressure to produce an heir for Rahmi, particularly after a miscarriage just a few months before.  And the Roses?  They're making a huge vat of special iced tea and helping the town by funding a few projects.  All that betting does pay off, after all.

On Christmas Eve, the town gathers for a Christmas part.  But when Santa comes in carrying a sack of perfect gifts for the residents, questions start flying.  Just who IS this Santa Claus anyway?!  Hopefully not seventy year old John Wolfe, particularly after the way he kisses Tammy!  Between a fully trained police dog that Marshall has been wanting, the perfect onsie for Annie's baby, and a priceless treasure for Mrs. Wyatt, it seems like a Christmas miracle.  Finally, Santa gets to Paige, and he grants her request to have a baby.

Paige is trapped in labor in Keeneston, as the biggest storm of the season has grounded the helicopters and trapped the ambulance.  Luckily, Dr. Emma is in the house.  And vet Katelyn too when Annie goes into labor next!  Will Annie and Paige have healthy babies?  Will Dani and Mo survive the pressure from dear old Dad?  And just who is that Santa Claus anyway?

This is a fabulous, quick read that takes you back on a visit of characters you already know, and brings a little Christmas in.  It's no more than 50 pages or so, so it's a great read in an hour or so.  Read Ms. Brooks Bluegrass Books, then come spend Christmas in Keeneston!

Fourth grade is a school year that is burned into my mind.  That September, when we had been in school for less than a month, was the attack...
