Holly Pointe & Mistletoe
Book Two from the Holly Pointe Series
All journalist Stella Carpenter wants for Christmas is her life back.
After losing her family, her boyfriend, and her job, Stella is on the verge of being ho-ho-homeless. Out of desperation, she accepts an assignment to write a story on Holly Pointe, Vermont, the tiny town recently crowned the ‘Capital of Christmas Kindness’. If she can prove the town’s holiday spirit is a sham, her Editor promises Stella will start the New Year with a new career.
Rancher Sam Johnson is Holly Pointe’s resident Grinch—at least in the eyes of the tinsel-loving townspeople. It’s not that he doesn’t like the lights and the carols. It’s that they remind him of the brother he lost. Christmas is a time for family, and if Sam can’t have that, then he prefers to spend the holiday alone. But when Stella blows into town on a wild winter wind, the frosty walls around Sam’s heart thaw.
Charmed by Holly Pointe, Stella is torn. She doesn’t want to betray the friends she’s made, but she’s scared to give up the life she knows. And then there’s Sam. She never expected to fall in love with someone so different from her, yet that’s exactly what has happened. While Stella searches for a solution, the real reason for her arrival in Holly Pointe is discovered. Now, it’ll take a true Christmas miracle for Sam and Stella to make this holiday a happy one.

*****
“While I am among the first in front of the Tv for the new crop of Christmas movies each year, this story of disillusioned report being sent to uncover the dirty truth behind the holly jolly of a Vermont town famous for its Christmas spirit is a great reminder of the depth of a good novel. Stella and Sam are developed as fully 3-dimensional characters and interact on all levels, not just in a series of short scenes designed to hint at a growing relationship. Do your self a favor and take the time to sit down a read a lovingly crafted novel in addition to watching the best of Christmas movies. Cindy Kirk knows her craft and will not disappoint.”
*****
“I love Cindy Kirk writing and this book is no different. The ups and downs of the book had me hooked and I loved the feel of the town. It is a true Christmas destination.
Stella is trying to do the story she has been asked to do and Sam is a loveable Grinch. It takes a strong women to do what is right and a strong man to love her. These 2 seemed so perfect together from the start, even if they didn't know it.
The people of this town are what the world should strive to be, kind, caring and forgiving. A must read for this holiday.”
