Jolly Jackpot: A grumpy/sunshine holiday romance novella
READER RECOMMENDATION!! ELIZABETH LOVED IT!
Hi, Maryse! I hope it’s not too late in the holiday season, but I just found a wonderful (and spicy) Christmas novella that I wanted to recommend to you. It’s called “Jolly Jackpot” by author Josie Juniper.
It’s a really sweet story and needs a lot more love…
Disclaimer: I am not the author and I don’t work for her. I’m just a fan of her writing and think she’s criminally underrated. Thanks so much!
