A Very Blackwell Christmas (The Annihilate Me Series) - Christina Ross - Bog

When best friends Jennifer Wenn and Lisa McCollister ask Barbara Blackwell how best to handle a large and complicated annual Christmas Eve party, Blackwell decides the easiest way to survive that event is to host it herself. Why? First, Tank's parents are visiting the city for the first time, they want to stay with Lisa and Tank at their townhouse, and Lisa fears that if she hosted, her mother-in-law would cause her share of problems. As she tends to do... Second, Jennifer and Alex always host the Christmas Eve party. Always. And with their son, Aiden, turning three, Blackwell believes it's high time to give them a break. Third, since moving into her new apartment, Blackwell feels a bit lonely due to her daughters no longer living with her. It's difficult for her to admit, but there's a part of her that knows it would be good to have her apartment filled with those she loves most-especially over the holidays. What she doesn't know is that someone is about to sideline her. That someone would be Marcus Koch, the handsome hedge fund manager who is only the second man Blackwell has ever loved. She dated him for a year before she decided to end their relationship because he was too busy to spend enough time with her. Marcus knows he made a terrible mistake. In fact, unbeknownst to Blackwell, it's taken him three years to streamline his business and thus his life in an effort to win her back. Now, he's ready to go all in to have her back in his heart, in his life, and in his bed again, but will Blackwell be open to his advances? Will she dare to give him-and love-a second chance? A Very Blackwell Christmas is the first time readers of the Annihilate Me series will read a story told from Blackwell's point of view. Finally, they will see the person behind the cutting wit and the cutting-edge fashion, both of which she uses as armor. But why does she need them? What's made her the person she is today? In A Very Blackwell Christmas, the real Barbara Blackwell reveals her innermost thoughts. And when that happens? The enigma is exposed...
