A Fools Gold Christmas

Fools Gold Christmas comes out this month and I was so lucky to get a signed copy from Susan Mallery for being the head cheerleader for 2011.  Being a Fools Gold Varsity Cheerleader is an amazing opportunity for friends, fun, reading and so much more.  I have met some awesome woman from cheering for Susan and Jenel.

Fools Gold Christmas is about Evie the baby sister of the Styker men.   Dante Jefferson the accountant who really doesn't want to be in the dumpy town of  Fools Gold.  This thought is reinforced when clog dancers pound away at the roof of his little office when he is trying to get some important work done.  He knows he will have to confront the instructor to get her to quite down the kids who couldn't hold a tune.  Evie is in Fools Gold against her wishes after a serious broken leg which led her bothers and mother to sneek her to Fools Gold while she was recovering form the cheerleading accident.  Her dreams of dancing are gone with the pain that she may never dance again.

Evie is given the impossible task of doing a Christmas winter festival, that means getting all the dancers to perform to the best they can even if she doesn't know the steps and also she has to find a horse she can train to be in the show.  She saunters to the Stryker farm looking for lessons and a killer stallion named Khatar walks up to her as Clay stands back in horror at what the mean stallion will do to the pint size dancer.  To his utter amazement Khatar acts like a gentle giant to Evie and she finds him very gentle and loving.  Not words Clay or any Stryker man or woman would use about Khatar.

Fall in love with these silly and lovable characters even Priscilla the big elephant and all her friends at the Stryker farm.
