** What Happens in Whistling Rock Stays in Your Heart. **

Pull out your ugly sweaters,

roll out the gingerbread dough,

and get ready to boogie with the townsfolk at the Snowflake Dance.

This sweet holiday rom-com is sure to put a smile on your face and holiday cheer in your heart.

After signing up for EMRT (Extreme Matchmaking Reform Therapy), Jessica and Jake get stuck in a small village straight from a Hallmark flick.

But they're about to find out what the townsfolk have known all along—what happens in Whistling Rock...stays in your heart.

Jessica, who's never particularly liked Jake, is heading to Jamaica with her boss babe besties for a last-minute getaway before the holidays.

Jake, who's definitely not interested in Jessica, has a similar vacay in mind.

Too bad fate—or is it the extreme matchmaking site they signed up for— has different plans.

Find out what happens when a blizzard leaves these two stranded in a small town with more Christmas cheer than the North Pole.

***This rom-com is clean and wholesome.***

Expect sweet romance, swoony kisses, clean language, and Christian values.

Sweet Romance

This was an enemies-to-lovers/ready to give up, so decide to give the internet a try. The first part was a little hard-to-read, because their characters aren’t very likeable. Then comes a sweet older lady and things start falling into place. I love the close proximity, and keep it clean genre! I also love the truth serum!

great enemies to lovers romance

When I first started this story I couldn’t imagine Jessica and Jake together. They were like oil and water. The more the story progressed the more I liked them together. I really enjoyed this book.

Rerouted by a snow storm!

This story left me smiling! A light hearted story we are all familiar with where one couple in a friend group really dislike each other but you know that's gonna change. It's really an interesting story as that change takes place. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Read now!!

With a vacation thrown off course, Veronica and Jake are thrown into a forced proximity situation. Their disdain for each other is well known. They begin to learn what makes the other one tick and realize they are very similar.Their love story is cute, filled with banter, and swoony kisses!

Life after 40, is so good

Stuck with me at 43 was such a swwwt romantic book. I loved how Kimberly incorporated lots of real struggles for adults, and made them so real into this story. It was a sweet read, and full of promises!
