Today's giveaway is a double chance to win - the book I'm giving this time is another 3 in 1 called Mediterranean Tycoons. This has a reprint of a book of mine from 2007 -
The Greek Tycoon's Unwilling Wife
He thought she was his mistress . . .
Recuperating on his private Greek island after a car crash, Andreas Petrakos had no memory of the previous year. The last thing he remembered was his passionate affair with beautiful Rebecca Ainsworth.
. . . when actually she was his wife!
And your question today is -
I don't often write Chritmas based stories - there's The Christmas Baby's Gift and Fiancée By Mistake - and the truth is that usually by this time of year I'm too busy to sit down with any holiday based books, and I'm not desperately keen on reading them at any other time of the year.
What about you?
Do you love Christmas stories - or prefer not to have such specific references in them? Are there any Christmas books you've really enjoyed - or are looking forward to reading this holiday?
You know what to do - post in the comments and I'll get Charlie to pick 2 winners before he's too stuffed with cat treats and his own Christmas dinner to be interested!

Oh, I definitely love to read Christmas themed books... once October rolls around, any that I get then, I'll save for December. But if I get any at other times, (if I can, of course! LOL), I'll read them them. But I also bring out old favorites from previous Christmases. So yeah, love it. :)

Hi Kate

I love to read Christmas themed books at this time of year, and always make sure I've a good supply for December.
I do enjoy reading Christmas themed books ;o) and find that I enjoy reading them all year through not only over the festive period but it does make it all that more special if one curls up on Christmas morning to a good book *lol*

I enjoy Christmas stories and I will read them when I get them from my local stores or around Christmas depending on when get them. I will even read other holiday books if I have them.
There is not really any books that I can think of that were Christmas based that I enjoyed... too many books read between them to remember.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, the Babe Magnet, Flora and Charlie
I love holiday books anytime of year. I enjoy the holidays through the characters story... the ups and downs that happen all to get to their HEA!
Merry Christmas!
Sometimes I really need a good Christmas story. I plan on reading a few this week.

I like to read Christmas books throughout the year but not too close together. I don't want to read about too much snow at this time of year. I'm living it, I don't want to read about it too.
I like Christmas stories during Christmas. Any other time it's kind of...weird. But it's fun to read them around the holidays. I'll save Christmas stories for Christmas when I find one I want. I'm sure I'd read yours. (:
I love the blurb for The Greek Tycoon's Unwilling Wife. It sounds passionate and intriguing.
I like to read Christmas books mostly at Christmas time, although I must admit to reading them at other times too. I only own a few of these books, so sometimes, when I need a Christmas book fix I go to the Harlequin and Mills and Boon website online reads to find one. Actually, I'm readin a new one on Harlequin's website, but it drives me crazy waiting each day for a new installment to be posted.
I don't mind Christmas themed books but they don't specifically attract me. I would buy one if it was by an author I like. I have a Carole Mortimer I can read any time of year and now I know Kate has some I will track them down as well. Still a few gaps in my Walker collection . To the person who likes the sound of The GTs Unwilling Wife I have to say I read it about a week ago and loved it. So pleased to have won the Sheik tale. Another gap filled ;-].
Now I have a passionate urge to re read the GT Unwilling Wife again. I'm never going to get my reading list down if I keep revisiting ones I like. That is one thing about Kate's books. EMinently worth rereading over and over again. I read some of her earlier onesinthe dawn of time and recently reacquired them and enjoyed them thoroughly the second time. Definitely keepers.
I do enjoy Christmas stories. I find they have a little extra magic to them.
Merry Christmas!!
I wish you joy, health & love.
I can read a Christmas book at any time of the year. Reading creates an alternative world for me and I can get lost in a book and truly forget my way out of there. Ask my mother - or my husband for that matter.
Kate, I suggest you try and write a Christmas book for next year. I'd love to read one from you!
I love reading Christmas stories. The problem is that I'm so busy at this time of year that I end up reading Christmas set stories in February!
I'd like to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful New Year. Thank you for the many hours of pleasure your books have given me over the years!
Merry Christmas,
Julie
