Book Cover: Christmas Rekindled by Sadira Stone, 99¢ Text: He wrapped her in his burly arms and pulled her against his rock-wall chest. “Christmas is funny that way. Makes us homesick for something we maybe never had.” But I did have it, for a little while. A memory pierced her—making Christmas cookies with Mom, colored icing, sprinkles, and gumdrops scattered over the kitchen counters in a glorious, happy mess. Another tear dribbled down her cheek. Jojo released her. “River looks like he wants to smash my face.”

She braced herself as a thread of fear wound around her heart and squeezed. “Hannah, I’m falling in love with you.” She opened her mouth, but all that emerged was a squawk. “That’s what I was afraid of.” He rolled onto his side, snugged her against him, and stroked his fingers into her hair. “But hear me out, okay?”

It's #nationalcinnamonrollday !
In #romancebooks, a cinnamon roll hero is the ultimate supporter. A bossy alphahole seeks to bend the heroine to his will, but a cinnamon roll guy adores her every facet.
Sometimes, they hide their sweet, gooey center beneath a crusty exterior.
