out after the Westbrook Department Store Christmas party, window
designer Shelby Corbin wakens only to trip over Santa, the store's

murder, she panics. CEO Rand McNabb sees a dark-haired woman wearing a
crimson dress fleeing the scene and thinks he knows her identity. His
romantic attentions both thrill her and frighten Shelby. Is the sexy CEO

Rand have a deadlier motive for courting her?
In Crimson Nightmare...
After
the last Westbrook Department Store Christmas party, Pippa McNabb's
cheating husband was murdered wearing a Santa suit. A new year, a new
Christmas party, a new dead Santa – this time, after having a bad
reaction to an appetizer Pippa gives him, he lurches from the store out
onto the street only to be run down by eight tiny reindeer. Pippa is
suspect, but so is naturalist Sky Thornton, who was driving the sleigh.
Sky seems intent on helping Pippa, but he seems to know too much about
her. Is he really trying to clear her name, or is he trying to frame her
for the murder?
4 STARS
Crimson Holiday starts out with a bang. Or would it be more accurate to say a murder? It's a well written mystery and romance as well. Shelby spends a lot of her time in a panic. But it's also pretty easy to see why. That panic often causes her to make a few bad decisions though. Still both Shelby and Rand are good main characters.
There is a lot of twists and turns to the mystery but there is a HUGE double whammy towards the end. H.E.A. though is a nice touch too.
Book 2- Crimson Nightmare- follows the sister Pippa who was in the first book as Rand's sister. Another good mystery with plenty of possible suspects. I have to say that I liked Pippa but I wasn't so sure about Sky for a long time. He just had too many secrets of his own.
Turns out this story also had excellent twists and turns until the real murderer was revealed. Making for an excellent ending.
Overall, I'd say this was a good 2 stories in one book. The first story I liked a bit more than the second.
" I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book through Netgalley. And this is my honest opinions about it.”
