Synopsis:
A musician and a priest walk into a grocery store—singer Faith Leary thinks this is a better opening for an off-color joke than a recipe for romance, until she finds herself ogling Father Michael in the checkout line the day before Thanksgiving.
When Father Michael first steps in to bail Faith out of her financial jam, Faith thinks she’s being picked up at the grocery store. Right up until she catches sight of the black shirt and tab collar. Since not much in her life is going her way lately, it doesn’t come as much of a shock when Michael turns up at her mother’s Thanksgiving dinner. What does come as a surprise is the attraction that springs up between them. If only he weren’t a priest, he would be perfect for her.
Faith’s sister finds Father Michael attractive, too, and she’s making no bones about it. Scenes from the Thorn Birds flitting through her head, it comes as a relief to Faith to find out Michael is not exactly what he seems. It’s good news until she realizes her sister is a far better match for him than her screw-up self could ever be. But if that’s true, why does Michael insist on seeing only the good in Faith, no matter how often she falls short of her too perfect sister?

Author Bio:
Amy Lamont writes contemporary and New Adult romance about quirky heroines and hunky heroes. Over the years she’s had some jobs she loved (working as a program coördinator for a non-profit animal rescue), some jobs she liked (freelance writing), and some jobs she hated (her experience as a waitress has turned her into the excellent tipper she is today). But nothing gives her greater joy than writing romances that pack an emotional punch and come with a guaranteed happily ever after.
Amy lives in New England with her husband, twin daughters, and two rescue mutts. She loves chatting with readers. To get in touch, visit her at www.amylamont.com.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, this holiday romance is more like it. I can describe it as funny, romantic, sweet, and loads of fun! Yes, it is predictable, but Amy Lamont has a way of making it seem new and fresh. After all, a priest and a musician? The ending was a bit of a stretch, but it was reeking with romance. I would love to read a full-length book featuring these characters.
One of the best things about this book is that there are no bedroom scenes and only very minimal profanity that does not even need to be mentioned. The author was able to make this fun and romantic without bringing in the dreaded sex element.
I can recommend this book for the holidays or any time of year. You will be glad you read it!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 mine.

I really love that this book would be a perfect gift to give many for Christmas, from my kids teachers to my mother in law and other family. My favorite thing is it doesn’t involve the raunchy sex some books do don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of some of those raunchy books but not everyone is and I would not fill comfortable giving my kids teachers or mher in law a very popular Dom/sub book (that I love) but this book I would. Thank you!

I think a romance book with a musician and a priest is great. Should be a fantastic read. I saw that you, the author, live in England. Are you British or did you move there? I’ve never read a book by a British author. One day I will. Life cannot be good to us sometimes through other people we don’t know. I’m an avid reader and I love to receive books, but I so love to receive goodies also. Looking forward to reading your book.
