——————-
Lucky Fall
After her parents’ death, Sarah felt like there was no luck left in the world. With her siblings’ newly out of the house, she’s free, for the first time in years, to do something just for her. So when her best friend surprises her with tickets to Dublin for the week of St. Patrick’s Day, she’s thrilled. She’s on a mission to reconnect with her parents’ past and visit the places in their photographs.
But when she falls—literally—into the arms of an attractive if snarky Irishman at a pub, Sarah might just have to add another quest to her list: find out said man’s name…and relationship status.

Pawsitively Perfect
After a rough breakup and particularly difficult winter, veterinarian Leigh feels ready to engage in the outside world again. That is until her dog, Pogo, slips his leash in a park and invades the picnic of gorgeous ex-Marine, James. It’s doubly humiliating when Leigh finds out that James just so happens to be the head of the non-profit that she’s is expected to work on an event.
Can Leigh get over her embarrassment and her fear of being hurt again to seize the reins—erm, leash—on love? Or do the two different types of “vets” just not mix at all?

All Thanks to You
When aspiring vet tech Rosalie meets a guy at a Halloween black cat adoption party—perhaps even The Guy—she fails to understand that he’s asking her out. They say goodbye with only the promise of a cat adoption in their future, and she thinks that is that…until she walks into her younger sister’s parent-teacher conference and realizes Jonah from the cat event is Mr. Keene, high school English teacher extraordinaire. She wants to date this lovable nerd, but after her bad luck with past relationships and her experience seeing her parents get divorced, she’s afraid to let Jonah in.
Will she find love with a fellow cat-lover, or will it all fall to pieces by the first snow?

Beaver Creek Resort
Claire is fine being a single mom. Contrary to what her sister Sydney thinks, she doesn’t need anyone new in her life, not after Mitch cheated on her when she was pregnant five years ago. And she absolutely doesn’t need a cheesy, Christmas-themed singles’ event at the Beaver Creek Resort to help her find someone suitable.
Besides, the only attractive man she’s even met at the ski resort so far is the guy she crashed into earlier, and he was a total jerk. It’s not like he’s going to show up to the singles event and magically become charming and nice and caring…right? That’d be a Christmas miracle.

“L. Austen Johnson’s Romancing the Holidays Collection is a cozy and warm read filled with highly likable and relatable characters…These stories will resonate with many who want to keep an open heart, although they have been hurt by others or life experiences in the past. I found myself rooting for each of these women to take a chance on love and to trust again. I highly recommend Johnson’s Romancing the Holidays Collection for lovers of romance and the magic of the holidays.”

5-star Review of Romancing the Holidays

“If you can’t handle insta-love and need something more drawn out and angsty, go on and skip this one or don’t get your panties in a bunch when that’s what this ends up being. If short and sweet romance is your jam, this book is right up your alley! I felt that the author had the ability to convey some depth to the personalities of the characters, bringing a greater sense of reality to her story, which is tough to do in a shorter read.”
– Ashleigh, 5-Star Goodreads Review for Pawsitively Perfect

“I loved all of these short, sweet, and a little spicy holiday romances…All were well written with wonderful characters who all get a happily ever after. Depending on what holiday or season mood you are in, you can start there and continue with the rest. They all can be read in any order.”
