A NEW YEAR MARRIAGE PROPOSAL by author Kate Hardy is a Harlequin Romance and Mills
& Boon Cherish series release for November 2014.
Quinn O’Neill finds beautiful Carissa Wylde on his doorstep,
unexpected and uninvited. He doesn’t want to be interrupted but is also
intrigued by this enchanting woman.
Then he discovers Carissa’s home baked chocolate brownies
and he is hooked. He undertakes to do some Christmas project for Carissa and
finds out he can’t get her out of his mind despite his best effort, but would
he be able to take their attraction any further? He doesn’t do relationships.
Yet he takes her advice and goes to build bridges with his estranged relatives.
Then he decides to surprise Carissa one last time.
A NEW YEAR MARRIAGE PROPOSAL has a gorgeous hero in Quinn,
he is tender and sensitive. And Carissa is a strong heroine who hides a mushy
heart. Author Kate Hardy did a great job touching on the domestic violence
issue in this story. I loved this emotional story, domestic violence always
touches a sore spot with me so I did shed some tears. Especially when Quinn
wants to do something—anything to avenge Carissa. I wish all the victims of
domestic violence in this world get a Quinn in their lives.
Highly recommended for
all readers of romance.

The stunning totally of the hook awesome character of Carissa really got to me, I felt so deeply heartbroken for her that I wept right along with her when the author starts to reveal the very real heartache she hides behind all her perfectly practiced smiles, of course I could not stop smiling either when those practiced smiles turned into very genuine smiles as Quinn dug his way into her heart.
