I’m super excited to have a special guest author here today to help celebrate my new release, Forever Yours in Christmas Falls. Please give a warm welcome to: JEAN ORAM
Seasons greetings from Canada!
My name is Jean Oram and I’m Susan Hatler’s guest today and come bearing gifts for three readers. Ho, ho, ho!
I love sweet romances (I write sweet, small town romances) and admit that I have a little bit of an addiction when it comes to Susan’s books. I like to stockpile a few and then totally binge read! I know that her latest book, Forever Yours in Christmas Falls, is another one-click that I will be savouring this holiday season—it sounds completely irresistible! Because, seriously? Who can resist the idea of Morgan having to share her shop with her old crush, Dallas, the man her mother believes is responsible for their greatest family tragedy? Hello! Binge-read worthy!
So, today, in celebration of Susan’s release, I would like to offer one reader a signed paperback copy of my own sweet holiday romance, Eggnog and Candy Canes. It’s a small town romance where enemies become lovers and will surely an appeal to fans of Susan’s. And because the New Year is coming soon(ish), I would also like to offer two readers a magnetic 2018 calendar featuring my new Veils and Vows series. More irresistible sweet small town romances!
These two giveaways are open internationally and winners will be chosen tomorrow. Be sure to comment below, telling Susan and I what you love most about the holiday season—or sweet holiday romances, for a chance to win.
Good luck! Thanks for reading.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to be here and wish you all the best this upcoming holiday season. (I haven’t even thought of starting my shopping yet, have you?)
Kayla Gothier says
I love the time with family and the heartwarming feeling of holiday romances.
Jean Oram says
Hi Carol!
Thanks for checking out my site and books–I have a couple of free ones you can try to see if my small town romances are your thing. 🙂
Love and Rumors is a bit more contemporary and Whiskey and Gumdrops is a bit more romantic comedy.
Happy reading!
Good luck in the giveaway.

Jean Oram says
Hi Kayla,
It’s nice to be able to spend time with family over the holidays, isn’t it?
I love the heartwarming aspect of holiday romances as well. They just have that certain something, don’t they?
Happy reading!

Lynette says
I love sweet holidays romances because they get me in the holiday spirit, and get my mind off of my problems for a few hours.
Nikki elkins says
I love that it feels so loving and people seem to be nicer. I wish people realized you can be nice all the time!
Jean Oram says
Lynette, sometimes don’t you just want to stay in that world and have the book never end? (sigh) I love books so much!
Thanks for stopping by to help us celebrate.
Jean Oram says
Nikki,
LOL! Yes, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? And you don’t have to be generous only during the ‘giving season’ too!
Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
Lenda Burns says

Terressa T says
I love that the holiday season is full of service and kindness, something I try to remember and teach my children to do everyday. To me, service is the magic of Christmas.
Kelly Meesters says
I spending time with my family during the holidays, it would be more joyful if our relatives could spend the holidays with us, but they live in another province. Thankful for technology like Skype to help us keep in touch with family.
Britney Vasquez says
I love the Spirit of the holiday season. I think for the most part people are more loving and giving. I like the family time. And I love celebrating the birth of Christ. I also love sweet small town romances, I have to say, they are my favorite! 🙂
Jean Oram says

Jessica Dismukes says
I love the romance of it all. I get lost in the stories.
Connie says
I love getting together with family, playing games, cooking, reading romance and mystery novels. Thanks for the chance to win a gift. I like to gift forward after I read my books. Hope y’all all have a wonderful day and enjoy the coming holidays
Michelle says
Thanks for the giveaway Jean!! I’ve been wanting to read that book. Just haven’t picked it up yet. Hope I win. Good luck to all the other readers out there as well!!
Jean Oram says
Hi Jessica,
Isn’t it wonderful when you can get swept up in a story? Those are the best!
Thanks for stopping by.
Jean Oram says
Hi Lenda,
Good to see you here! It sounds as though the holidays are a special time in your home.
Thanks for entering the giveaway.
Jean Oram says
Hi Kelly,
I know what you mean. My brother lives thousands of miles away so we’re lucky if we see him and the kids once a year. It was pretty cool the one year he made it up our way for the holidays.
Thanks for stopping by!
Jean Oram says
Hi Amanda,
I love the heartwarming qualities of sweet romances, too. Sometimes I just want to hug the ebook when I’m done.
🙂

amy guillaume linderman says
what i love most is baking up my late grandmother’s holiday recipes and using her dishes
Melissa Hultz says
Love making and eating Christmas cookies!! And I’m a Cyber Monday girl!! Love your books Susan and will be checking out Jean’s!!
Kim Trask says
I love the magical feeling at this time of year, the smells and the music. As for small town romance, it is my absolute favorite especially when it is a series!
toni king says
I love the decorations and music that create a magical feel! Since I met my late husband just before Christmas 27 years ago, I always felt the romance of the holidays(he always recreated our first date). I live in a small town, have all of my life, so I enjoy small town romance!
Leslie Lawrence says
I love the magic of the season. I love to see all the decorations. I love small town romances because everyone knows everyone else.
Margaret says
I love the decorations and lights and Christmas songs, yes I have been caught walking through shops singing along.
Melanie Guevara says
The best part of any holiday is being with family & friends.
Donna Wolz says
I just dropped by to say ‘Hi Jean.’
Nancy Schreib says
Hi, Ladies! Thank you for all the entertainment your stories bring to my life. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Happy Writing!
Arletta says
I just love the slower pace of the winter months and especially the week around Christmas. I typically take off days on either side of Christmas so I can just say home and be. Bonus if our three YA daughters are able to be home. I love to read or watch movies with the tree lights and the fireplace on. Let the wind howl outside, but I’ve got coffee, a book and my family near me.
Rhonda says
Love the food. Music. Decorations.
Charlene Whitehouse says
I love the magic of Christmas and the music is playing. The trees are twinkling lights on them. The snow falling.
Christie says
Spending time with family. This year we are taking a vacation together starting Christmas Day!
Brenda Hahn says
I love the music and lights. It’s just a magical festive feeling that makes me smile!!!
Brenda says
I love what it all means! The birth of Christ, time with family and friends, the smell of the tree, the food that only makes it self known at Christmas. Maybe a little snow thrown in too!
Marsha says
Love your books! I especially like the holiday books.
Sheila Hutchinson says
Love getting my favorite author’s referral to new authors, always looking for new books, ( and re reading previous favorites).
Pat says
Checked out Iran’s site. Very nice. Spending time with family is important during the holidays.
Dee says
I love the Christmas carols, both the sacred and fun ones. It’s rarely cold here in SE Texas during December, but if I sing “White Christmas”, I can pretend!
Jean Oram says
What a lovely tradition, Amy!
Gina says
Hi, Jean. I love it when all of my daughter’s and grandchildren can all come over. With blended families for 2 of them it doesn’t always work out. I take what I can get. 😊
Jean Oram says
Toni, that’s so sweet that the holidays and all the decorations make you think of your first date with your late husband. I absolutely love that. However, it must have also made the first Christmas without him very difficult indeed. I’m sorry for your loss.
Jean Oram says
Margaret, that’s something I’d get caught doing. Only I’d probably be dancing as well as singing down the aisles! (I don’t need Christmas music for that though! I do it all year round. I think they’re pretty used to me in the grocery store though.)
Jean Oram says
Thank you so much to all our new commenters for popping by and sharing what they love most about the holiday season. It makes me want to start baking and shopping and decorating!
