As the digital revoultion rushes forward I'm influenced by covers far more than I used to be. Aside from the stunning artwork, the efforts a digital publisher or self-published author puts into their cover reflects their efforts to produce a well-written book. Belle is at the top of that list. The cover for her newest book is gorgeous. which is, of course, a relflection of her great writing. Not to mention, this book is perfect for the holiday season. Who doesn't love snow when there's a  gorgeous man to keep us warm? Way to go, Belle!

 

Since I began writing my contemporary romance series about the Sullivan fmaily, I’ve been surprised to discover my favorite scenes are the ones when the entire family gets together. The eight siblings and their mother are as real to me as my own friends and family. Hopefully my readers feel the same way! Here’s what the holidays look like with the Sullivans…

What does The Sullivans annual Christmas card look like?
It should come as no surprise that as a child, budding photographer Chase (THE LOOK OF LOVE, link: http://www.amazon.com/Look-Love-Sullivans-Contemporary-ebook/dp/B0055UZO9M) insisted on taking the family photos for the annual Sullivan Christmas card. Chase was always trying to take classy photos which is why, of course, his brothers and sisters – led by prankster and future firefighter Gabe (CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, link: http://www.amazon.com/Cant-Help-Falling-Love-ebook/dp/B006L73G7A) – plotted to ruin Chase’s artistic vision by showing up in matching bright red reindeer sweaters and red clown noses. It’s safe to say nothing has changed even though they’re all grown up now.
 
What do the Sullivans give their mom for Christmas?
While each Sullivan gives a personal gift to their mom, it’s a tradition for them to pool together for a joint gift and as they’ve grown up so have the gifts – from macaroni necklaces to Hawaiian vacations. The now epic decision of what to give her begins approximately December 26th and the battle rages for the entire year. Their mother’s true desire – grandchildren –was never a possibility in the past, but with three of her children happily involved, could the prospect finally be just around the corner?
 
Do The Sullivans believe in Santa Claus & which Sullivan is in charge of the SANTAWATCH?
Their mother definitely raised the kids to believe in Santa Claus. Marcus, the eldest  (FROM THIS MOMENT ON, link: http://www.amazon.com/This-Moment-Sullivans-Book-ebook/dp/B005KB9WJO) was skeptical of Santa from day one. Because of his father’s untimely death, he had to grow up faster than the others and he’s always been suspicious when something seems too good to be true. However, as the protective older brother, there is no way Marcus would steal the magic from his siblings, especially his twin sisters. You might be surprised to hear cool and sophisticated movie star Smith is the one who bought into Santa Claus the most. He’s always had a great imagination – that’s what makes him such a good actor – and he secretly left out cookies and milk long after his brother and sisters stopped believing. If anyone would be here watching Santa’s progress around the globe with us, it’s Smith.
 
Happy Holidays!

    Wow the Sullivans sound like a great family who love and cry when one of them is hurt.  I hope I will get a chance to read their story starting at the beginning.
    Merry Christmas.

    You definitely have some very hot books out there. (Not to mention, some very HAWT covers!!)  I haven't started this series as of yet, although I do like reading series that follow each member of a family.  This family is on my TBR!

    I think I've just read a short story that was part of an anthology by Bella, and I'm not familiar with this series. It sounds pretty interesting though I think I'll definitely have to look into it though!
