    About Susan V Vaughn

    Top Five Bloggers for the Month

    Each month, the RLF Gems post ranks in the top ten, but is not
    counted, in order to focus on guests. The winners are judged by page views. Congratulations
    to each one! There is a tie for third place.

    Romances (Kayelle Allen, Barbara Cool Lee, Beate Boeker, Lee Strauss, Magan Vernon,
    Melissa McClone, Pam Claughton), and Veronica Bale

    Top Chatters for the Month

    Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always the
    person who gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter Award.
    This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. To win, a guest
    must have five or more comments (not counting the guest author’s).
    1 Susan V Vaughn
    2 Alanna Lucas
    3 Christmas Romances (Kayelle Allen, Barbara Cool Lee, Beate Boeker,
    Lee Strauss, Magan Vernon, Melissa McClone, Pam Claughton)

    Welcome Leslie Lynch with today’s featured book, Christmas Hope.
    Genre: Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Sam Bledsoe prefers his reclusive existence. A one-man landscape
    business keeps his badly scarred face away from curious eyes. But when a woman faints
    on her way from neighbor Maggie Ross’s house, he doesn’t hesitate. He rushes to
    help while grappling with memories of the incident that burned him so badly.
    Free spirit Becca Sweet is pregnant—and down on her luck. The
    father of her unborn baby showed his true colors when he showed her the door. Becca
    appeals to her no-nonsense sister for help, but Maggie, unaware of Becca’s pregnancy,
    chooses that moment to dish out some tough love.
    When Sam comes to Becca’s rescue, their battered hearts collide.
    In a moment of holiday magic, they discover that Christmas hope applies to all,
    even to them. And will hope lead to love, the most precious Christmas gift of all?
