It's only October, and I am seriously ready for Christmas. I received Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball a few weeks ago and tried saving it for a bit closer to the season, but failed. I just love the holidays, filled with snow, magic and love. Corny yes, but Christmas is corny - and so is Donika K. Paul's novella - in the best possible way.
Cora Crowder thinks of Christmas as something to get through. She understands the importance of baby Jesus and the whole lot, but when it comes to buying gifts, it's simply a name to check off the list. She walks into the Warner, Werner, and Wizbotterdad's bookstore on Sage Street, on a mission to check her uncle off that list. As she is getting ready to pay for the book that the odd owners helped her pick out, in walks her boss, Simon Derrick.
Simon is very serious. He does not bring his personal life to the workplace, so no one knows a whole lot about him. Once Cora sees him in the bookstore, everything changes. Circumstance brings them together often and they develop this strange connection. They both receive tickets to the annal Wizards Ball, which is a mystery to most. When Simon goes on a mission for an extra ticket to bring his sister, Sandy, the Sage Street magic comes into play.
This story is as dreamy and magical as the picture on the front cover.
