PW's Top 10 Christmas Romances

Wednesday, December 19, 2012


Publishers Weekly has named its top 10 Christmas romances.
 
Romance author and blogger Anne Browning Walker's list starts with two anthologies.
 
The first is Naughty & Nice by Ruthie Knox, Molly O'Keefe and Stefanie Sloane.
 
The second is Snowy Night With a Stranger by Jane Feather, Sabrina Jeffries and Julia London.   





 

In the Christmas past category, Browning Walker picks A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas, The Mischief of the Mistletoe by Lauren Willig and A Christmas Bride and Christmas Beau by Mary Balogh.

Titles by bestselling contemporary authors top the Christmas present category. These include Susan Wiggs' Lakeshore Christmas, Robyn Carr's Bring Me Home for Christmas, Hers for the Holidays by Samantha Hunter and Angels at the Table by Deb Macomber.

And for Christmases yet to come, there's JD Robb's futuristic drama Holiday in Death, which takes place more than 40 years in the future and revolves around a serial killer who uses Christmas imagery in association with his crimes.

I am one of six remaining finalists in the national competition. The winner of the online voting contest will be published. But I can't get there without lots of support because I am up against some very talented writers.

For this challenge, I had to write a back-of-the-book blurb. Agent Kristin Nelson does an indepth critique of each entry that you might find interesting.
