Hearties Christmas Picks 2016

The hearties want to help you find the perfect book this Christmas!

Jax - J.L. Perry

Jax is a fun, sassy, sexy read that encompasses tatts, mates, babies and a tumultuous relationship. We’ve all been there; had those dark days when we didn’t know if it would work out, so it’s good to see two real, down-to-earth characters work it out. An excellent Christmas read for both the romantics and the stubborn souls you know.

Laura, Senior Publicist

Paris Lights - C.J. Duggan

Paris Lights is the ultimate summer read – it’s sweet, it’s funny, it’s sexy, AND it features a hot Parisian chef. What more could a girl want?

Kate, Commissioning Editor

The Crossroads - Pamela Cook

All of us going through tough patches in life and burden ourselves with secrets that would be better aired and shared. Most women will identify with at least one of the three main characters in The Crossroads and be inspired by their stories.

Laura, Senior Publicist

Blood Vow - J.R. Ward

Blood Vow is the latest in the highly addictive world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. My mum is a massive J.R. Ward fan and she’s going to love me for getting this into her hands! Whether you’re shopping for a long-time fan, or someone newly delving into this legacy spin-off, this vampire romp will definitely satisfy.

Kelly, Marketing Coordinator

When All the Girls Have Gone - Jayne Ann Krentz

If you want your heart to race you can't go past Jayne Ann Krentz! The romance and suspense will have you turning the page so fast you'll be able to read it before you gift it at Christmas.

Sarah, Digital Marketing Coordinator

Winter Halo - Keri Arthur

Full of action and mystery, with a futuristic setting that takes me back to the days of Jessica Alba in Dark Angel! Plus an Aussie author is icing on the cake – good Aussie paranormal books are hard to find.

Kim, Product Executive

All I Ever Wanted - Lucy Dillon

Lucy Dillion is an author with oodles of heart and she has written the best book to sit down with a cup of tea and discuss with a bestie after you have read it. In All I Ever Wanted, Lucy delves into the ups and downs that married couples face but in the most heartfelt way.

Christine, Head of Consumer Marketing

Worth Fighting For - Kirsty Moseley

Worth Fighting For is the second book in The Fighting to Be Free series, and follows on from a huge cliffhanger in book one – so I was very eager to get my hands on it! Jamie and Ellie return for a second chance at love, and without wanting to give away anything I can say this is raw, emotional and very sexy! This book is so satisfying if you’ve ever wondered if those sparks would flame with a past lover, given the chance…

Essie, Digital Sales Manager

Rules of Contact - Jaci Burton

The perfect Christmas gift for a little self-indulgence after Christmas. A lucky friend/family member can wind down with this fun and easy read. Heavy on romance and steam, low on angst… and best of all you can grab yourself a copy too, go on, you deserve it!

Beneath a Burning Sky - Jenny Ashcroft

Jenny Ashcroft is an impressive new historical fiction talent – I loved so many different things about Beneath a Burning Sky, from the fascinating setting in colonial Alexandria, the relationship between Olivia and her sister Clara, and the mystery around Clara’s disappearance. The novel is told in beautiful detail, with a pacy plot that unfolds quickly. Definitely a great read if you love historical fiction.
