Holly Lane is now in stores! The much-anticipated fourth book in the Destiny series and follow-up to One Reckless Summer, Sugar Creek, and Whisper Falls releases today. Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas gift to herself—until her ex’s best friend, Adam Becker, shows up at the door, claiming the cabin is his! And if that’s not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how gorgeous he was? So far there are six books slated to take place in Destiny, and now is the perfect time to get caught up on the series. Start now with the excerpt for Holly Lane.

Holly Lane is available at numerous booksellers and retail outlets, including Amazon (both as a paperback and on Kindle), Barnes & Noble (paperback and Nookbook) and Book Depository, which offers free worldwide shipping.  Don’t see it at your local store? Be sure to ask someone to help you find or order it.

Reviewers are loving Holly Lane so far! Publisher’s Weekly wrote, “Blake balances cinematic imagery (a live reindeer in the backyard) with silliness (Adam in a reindeer suit inviting Sue Ann to play “reindeer games”) while tugging on readers’ heartstrings like a virtuoso harpist.” Romantic Times gave it 4 stars and said, “Blake does it again with a Christmas tale that will make your spirit joyful. It’s a compelling read with a little depth. The realistic characters make the story a treat and the small-town feel creates an intimate reading experience. You’ll be glad you took another trip to Destiny.” Read more of the early praise for Holly Lane.

The weather outside is frightful, but kisses by the fire are so delightful …

Sue Ann Simpkins is working hard to rebuild her life and find some holiday spirit. A weekend away from Destiny in a cabin on nearby Bear Lake seems like the perfect Christmas gift to herself—until her ex’s best friend, Adam Becker, shows up at the door, claiming the cabin is his! And if that’s not trouble enough, how had she never noticed how gorgeous he was?

Alone for the holidays and forced to play a reindeer at the local department store, Adam’s been feeling rather Scrooge-ish himself. But finding the smart, sexy woman he’s admired since elementary school waiting in the house he rented is helping to brighten his humbug mood. And when a sudden snowstorm strands them together in very close quarters, leading to one very hot night together, Adam soon realizes that what he really wants for Christmas is a second chance at love. Now all he has to do is convince Sue Ann…

Holly Lane has already received a glowing review from Publisher’s Weekly: “Blake balances cinematic imagery (a live reindeer in the backyard) with silliness (Adam in a reindeer suit inviting Sue Ann to play “reindeer games”) while tugging on readers’ heartstrings like a virtuoso harper.”

Holly Lane releases October 25, 2011 and is available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Toni is thrilled to share that Whisper Falls is in the September 19 issue of First magazine. Whisper Falls is featured on page 110 as one of their editors’ reading picks. Editor Krista Winston calls it, “a story of getting what you really need from life rather than getting what you think you want”.

Find it now at your local checkout counter, and look for more information about the next book in the Destiny series, Holly Lane, coming soon.
