Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
Christmas in Dixie immediately pulled me in. Lorana Hoopes is an amazing narrator and I could listen to her voice all day. Kaci Lane has written the perfect Christmas story, full of humor, heart, and angst. I lost track of how many times "Are you ok?" was said, and I will be hearing it in my sleep, but this story was hilarious. I want to read everything she has ever written!

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Positively, Penelope by Pepper Basham hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
Title: Positively, Penelope Positively, Penelope is the second book in the Skymar series by Pepper Basham. I HIGHLY recommend you read the first book, Authentically, Izzy before reading this one. Otherwise, you will get spoilers, miss a few things, but mostly, miss out on a great first book of the series.
