As the end of June approaches, so does the halfway mark to Christmas! I find that folks fall into one of two camps: “too soon, lady!” or “bring on the countdown!” Which are you?

For the sake of today’s post, I’m assuming you’re at least open to some festive feels as the summer heat bears down on us. I know here in Texas I could certainly use some reprieve, even if just on the pages of some great stories.

Here’s a quick list of some of my favorite contemporary Christian romances that can be enjoyed any time of the year. Just as a reminder, I may use affiliate links in this post. If you’re not sure what that means, read here.

I was born in 1981 and had a blast growing up in the 80s and 90s. Honestly, I had the best childhood. I can’t tell you how nostalgic I am for birthday parties at McDonald’s, homemade pizza on Friday nights, sleepovers, and movies from Blockbuster on VHS.

If you, too, love the 80s…or if you don’t but love romantic comedy movies…my newest release is right up your alley!

After five years away, Piper Dawson returns home to Kedgewick Creek and is pulled into a Christmas Scavenger Hunt that resurrects a heartbreak from Christmas past she’s not quite ready to mend. Will a matchmaking granny, a little Christmas magic, and a cute guy in a kilt make all the difference to her Christmas yet-to-come?

Silver Bell Secrets by Cara Putman

Growing up with dyslexia, Avery Blair didn’t love books, but the family-owned bookshop held her heart. She never expected her little business on the backside of nowhere to garner a New York City publishing house’s attention. Hunter Chase has lived an “always winter, never Christmas” existence, and spending the holidays in Christmas Town U.S.A. wasn’t exactly on his Christmas wish list, but he had no choice when his boss gave him an ultimatum. Can small town and big city discover a Christmas future that will last far beyond the page?

An Unscripted Christmas by Teresa Tysinger

Ellie and Oliver Larson face a Christmas full of uncertainty rather than festive cheer. Ellie is tired of playing a supporting role to Oliver’s passion of running the Kedgewick Creek Playhouse. Oliver can’t imagine his life without her. When things go off script, will their love story find its second act?

Dreams in Toyland by Janine Rosche

About My Novella

In my novella, An Unscripted Christmas,
Ellie and Oliver Larson, one of Kedgewick Creek’s most beloved couples, face a Christmas like none other. Could it be their last together after thirty years as man and wife?

When Oliver, Kedgewick Creek Playhouse’s director, struggles to put Ellie ahead of the Christmas musical that’s become a town tradition—and Ellie loses sight of the big picture—things begin to go off script. With the help of God’s perfect timing, will their love story find its second act?

Christmas tradition and hope for new memories come together in this tale of forgiveness, grace, and renewed joy.

I can’t wait to share more about how this sweet story has come together! What do you want to know ahead of reading? Will you be reading this fall when it comes out, or save it for the holidays?
