Christmas is beautiful any time of year--whether it's in autumn to prepare you for the upcoming season, in winter while you're in active holiday mode, prolonging the joy into spring, or having fun with Christmas in July (when we often need the illusion of cool!)

A Very Bavarian Summer by Katie M. Reid

Holly Noel Brigham is thrilled about her boyfriend’s upcoming visit to Bavarian Falls. What could go wrong?

Navigating a long-distance relationship is no picnic. Work demands, a wildfire, and insecurities threaten Holly’s and Nik’s summer plans and future goals.

What was supposed to be a season of carefree dates and tender kisses is complicated by unexpected loss, a surprise visitor, and the pressure of the Christmas in July Festival.

In an effort to strengthen their relationship, Holly and Nik decide to ask each other twenty questions...

What do you dream about?
What makes you cry?
What are you second-guessing?
What makes you angry?
Why do you love me?

The questions eerily parallel reality, causing a roller coaster of emotions and a high-elevation argument.

Is Holly’s and Nik’s relationship strong enough to endure some twists and turns or is this the end of the road?
