In the contemporary romance novella, A Christmas Kiss (Kissed by the Bay series, 5), Harper Avery is a no-nonsense divorce lawyer who is trying to help her client move on to better things. Gabriel Hart is a laid-back divorce lawyer who believes that sometimes love needs a second chance. Thanks to Gabriel’s encouragement, Harper is crushed when her client offers to give her soon-to-be-ex a second chance.
In order to lick her wounds, Harper books a holiday vacation at a friend’s cabin in Tahoe, but when she arrives she discovers a mix-up with the booking and opposing counsel Gabriel Hart has rented the same cabin for the same dates! Gabriel is handsome, charming, and his naïveté about love will undoubtedly hurt Harper’s client.

I think it might be fun to see where Harper and Gabriel go with the situation. Listening to each other’s opinions and getting to know the other person is key to growing and possible new horizons.

Harper and Gabriel should discuss their different approaches to divorce. Perhaps Gabriel can show Harper that there can be hope in a renewed marriage rather than the pain of divorce.
Bev Stensays
Divide the house in two. LOL I suppose they should act like adults, sit down and try to get to know each other if they’re going to be stuck together. I’m just starting the book. 🙂
Yay, Bev! Look forward to hearing how you like Harper’s story. 🙂
Trisy Arceosays
I think Harper and Gabriel should duke it out (verbally, of course!) then make mad, passionate love until they both can agree that sometimes a divorce is necessary but sometimes, a second chance is the right path!!
Katiesays
They should definitely talk it out and maybe sneak in a kiss or two. 🙂
Colleen C.says
Oh I would like to see them have a great big argument and then him give her a surprise kiss to quiet her down…
Corinnasays
I think they should get lost in the woods together. Maybe a little depending on each other for survival would help them resolve their differences.
New to your writings, but I must admit that I prefer to read something where there is a little chemistry which works into a happy ending. The older we get, the more enjoyable happy endings are. So, I think they should make the best of their mistaken encounter, and perhaps drift into a relationship that could result another book or series.
Sandra Spileckisays
I haven’t a clue what either of them should do so I’ll just follow along with whatever
you decide. After all. Hindsight is 20/201
Cheryl McMsays
I think Harper should live in the moment and enjoy Gabriel.
Only two unlikely people can end up in the same cabin. They must overcome many differences in life goals and their faith. But, they will succeed because they really want this relationship -even if it takes a while to figure it out!
Kimsays
I haven’t read your books before, but I really like the sound of this one.
I think Harper should just stick around and see what happens. I mean if Gabriel gets on her nervous she can always leave, provided they don’t get snowed in together. Please let them get snowed in!!!!

Bonnie Jamessays
No clue. The words are not all there above.
Sarah Daveysays
I’d be mad and angry and want to leave. But let’s try working it out since the place is beg enough for two. They bicker they argue and then they kiss and the flame is lit between them.
Thanks for the chance!
Sonya Holmessays
They should act like grown ups and both enjoy the cabin! Who knows what good things can happen!!! lol
Sorry, Bonnie! I’m trying a new program, but the words slide around.You should be able to click on the blog and adjust it so it fits. 🙂
Donna Reynoldssays

Lisa Burdettesays
Flirt and try to cook dinner. Which would end up with , well a mess.
MJ Symmondssays
I think Harper should let Gabriel teach her a thing or two about love. Thanks so much <3
Cynthia St. Germainsays
They should talk about everything in front of a cozy fire and a warm cup of hot cocoa. And get everything out in the open.
Stacey Woodssays
Never mind now it will. She should get to know him, maybe flirt with him. See if it ends up in a romantic relationship and if it doesn’t then she should be friends with him. I personally would want to leave and never come back, but then again I’m shy.
Kim Trasksays
I think she should make the Most of it and have fun. This totally sounds like it could be a hallmark movie!! 🙂
Maureen O'Kanesays
They should try to make the best out of the situation & enjoy their vacation. After all who knows what fate may have in store for them…. 🙂

If I was her I would kick him out until I divide the house. Then tell him to not speak to me until this vacation is over. Just pretend I’m not here
Cathy Phillipssays
I think that Harper should make the best of it, talk it out with Gabriel, and then kiss and make up.
H Dee Swansays
Talk it out! Communication is key!
Elizabethsays
This would be a fabulous prize to win.
I think she should take it a sign and just relax and see what happens.
Sue Hiebersays
No fun arguing especially at Christmas, she has 3 choices, suck it up and ignore him, move somewhere else, hide.
Patti Richardssays
Always being able to talk to each other.
Lori Rsays
They should just relax and see what happens.
pattysays
I Think That they should both agree to stay with limitations and rules that have to be followed !
veRONIcasays
Haha she should kick him out, but when he argues back she should then agree to let him stay if she gets the bed and he gets the couch. After that, hopefully love will play its magic part……
Patty Michinkosays
Divide the place on half. Use tape or paint a line..EVEN THE BED!
Then avoid one another till stuck talking.
..I haven’t read any of your books yet. This one sounds interesting.
Who is going to cave first to their attraction?

She should ignore him. 😛 Make him work for it to win her attention and attraction.
[I might also be grumpy.]
I think they need something scary happen to make them put their arguments aside causing them to realize how much they do really care.
I think she should stay and try to run him off by annoying him!
Act like an adult and if he doesn’t get even. Make him work to get on her good side
I think that she should tell him what she thinks and refuse to leave, And then maybe they”ll be fireworks between them,
I think she needs to give him a piece of her mind. Then let Gabriel argue his side. Maybe steal some kisses in between.
I think they need to literally take a hike lol. Go enjoy the calming nature together.
I think they should go for a walk by the lake since they will probably spend lots of time in the cabin.
She should give him a kiss!
I would definitely be mad, but I would not let it ruin my vacation. She should try to make the best of it.
