This month the fifth book in my Cadence
Creek Cowboys series hits the shelves! I’m pretty excited about it; there’s
something I love about holiday stories. They’re extra sparkly and
heart-warming, don’t you think? In particular, I love that I was able to combine
both the holiday with a wedding in A CADENCE CREEK CHRISTMAS – Taylor Shepard
is in Cadence Creek to plan her brother’s wedding and spend some time with
family. Callum gets married off in fine fashion, and there are twinkle lights
and evergreen boughs galore.
A CADENCE CREEK CHRISTMAS is also out in
the UK this month and has a different cover. I thought I’d ask you: which one
do you prefer? I mean, the first one is
sort of fun and romantic and wintery, but the second one is also a little more
fancy with the wedding tuxedo and the holiday lights and everything.
I’ll give away a copy of EACH edition today here at
The Hot Pink Typewriter! Just put your preference in the comments!
In the meantime you can find me on my
website at www.donnaalward.com or on
twitter @DonnaAlward.
Here’s the blurb for A CADENCE CREEK CHRISTMAS:
It's Christmas in Donna Alward's Cadence Creek...
Taylor Shepard has come to Cadence Creek to organize her brother's
Christmas wedding. Organizing such a special event might be a little bit
stressful - but she can't deny she's swept away by the town's holiday
charm...and by brooding rancher Rhys Bullock.
Loner Rhys has been burned far too many times in the past. He's sure he
has city girl Taylor all figured out -she'll be hightailing it straight back to
the city in a few days! But as the snow starts to fall, Rhys and Taylor embark
on a tentative winter romance. Could Taylor be the Christmas present Rhys never
even knew he wanted?
I really like the first cover. Maybe because it has the look and feel I'm used to (I live in the US)? I'm a reader of habit. Whenever a line changes their covers, it takes me a few months to re-like the new style!
ReplyDeleteI like the first cover... it gives you more of an idea about the content of the story.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for the Brit cover, with a Christmas tree in the background. I feel that if the word Christmas is in the title there should be some Christmas reference in the cover photo. The superimposed wreath up in the corner of the North American cover doesn't quite do it, although it's a fun cover. Or maybe I'm just fantasizing tucking my hand into the elbow of that tux...
ReplyDeleteVery much focussed on the readership. Cowboys are big in the US, not so much in the UK where a tux covers everything!
ReplyDeleteThe first cover is my favorite. The joy shown is so much about what Christmas is all about.

Love the first cover, I too in in the US....I love what I just read so I will definitely be reading your book...😃I agree with Brenda...
ReplyDeleteI prefer the first cover, mainly because it feels happy and fun. The second cover gives me a sense that the hero isn't at all happy. (Besides, I loooove cowboy stories!)
ReplyDeleteLove the US cover, it fits the season (not that I expect to really see snow at Christmas round here), the UK cover reminds me too much of late nineties RomComs starring Freddie Prinze jr.
ReplyDeleteWell. I love them both! LOL But...if I had to pick one, I'd say the first. But maybe that's because I love fun and romantic and wintery. :-)
