Jennie E Nicassio – Free Holiday Fiction

The following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of “Rocky the Rockefeller Christmas Tree” by Jennie E Nicassio.

Rocky the Rockefeller Christmas Tree by Jennie Nicassio

Rocky the Rockefeller Christmas Tree by Jennie Nicassio“I’ve read plenty of children’s books with little kids, train engines and monsters as characters but Rocky by Jennie E Nicassio is the first time I’ve seen a tree as the main character! Rocky is a little Norway Spruce tree, with bare, bent branches and not-so-green needles (much like Charlie Brown’s little dinky Christmas tree). Despite being the smallest and least perfect tree, he still dreams of winning the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Contest and becoming this year’s Rockefeller Christmas Tree!”

“As one may expect, Rocky is mocked for his dream. The animals and even the other trees are quick to point out just how impossible it is for him to win, and just how silly it is to even think it’s possible. A wood fairy named Mary Louise interrupts Bruce’s bullying, and after introducing herself he asks for her to make him stronger and more handsome so he can win. She tells him that magic doesn’t exist, he just has to believe! With her words, his belief is rejuvenated and he begins working to become the tree he’s always wanted to be.

This message of working hard to make things happen may be a common one, but it’s definitely an important message. The book also has a fair amount of bullying from Bruce Spruce and AJ the squirrel. Rocky handles them in an excellent way, by being confident but kind, standing up for himself and never giving up. Showing children that being a bully is a bad thing is great, as are showing them how to handle a bully and teaching them to work hard and believe in their dreams!”

“The illustrations in the book are really cute. They look digital, but the artist knows how to play with colors in a way that doesn’t feel flat at all. The faces the trees make are awesome, ranging from snarky to sad to cheesy and they’re all absolutely perfect for adults and children. Altogether the story itself is 25 pages, each of which has text over an image, and then the book includes an uncolored page of the main characters that could presumably be printed off to be colored. Following that, there are a few pages showing off an actual Rockefeller Tree and even the original tree from many years ago. The story, along with the Rockefeller Tree images, could easily lead to kids being excited about seeing the next tree chosen and all lit up and decorated!

While Jennie E Nicassio doesn’t specify what ages the book is for, it seems like one that can be introduced as soon as a kid will sit and listen to a book being read to them. The writing is smooth and I didn’t see a single grammatical error while reading. As such, I’m giving the book 4 out of 4 stars and highly recommend it for kids who can’t read as well as those who are learning to read on their own. The book definitely gets bonus points for essentially giving Charlie Brown’s dinky little Christmas tree its own story!”

A Not So Immaculate Conception: A Hilarious Romantic Comedy by Crystal Estell

A Hilarious Romantic Comedy by Crystal Estell“THE PROPOSAL meets BRIDGET JONES’ BABY in this guaranteed to make you laugh romantic comedy!”

Lacey Winters had a perfectly plotted life.

Then, she had the most toe-curling dream ever—only it wasn’t a dream. And the blurred image of the charming, hot guy she once considered a figment of her imagination, just became the poster boy of her worst nightmare when she finds herself pregnant with no clue who the mystery man is.

A hilarious romantic comedy by Crystal Estell.

The reason for her foggy memory? A case of transient amnesia brought on by… well… only the most mind-blowing… she’d rather not say.

Nonetheless, her boss is not having it. Terrified of unemployment and with her ten-year plan up in smoke, Lacey does what any woman with more brains than curves would do. She announces her co-worker Zak Cooper is her fake husband, then begs him to play along—just until the private investigator can give her answers.

A set of unforeseen circumstances.

Fake kisses turned all too real.

And now she’s torn between a man she’s falling for and an unreliable list of potential fathers. With the delivery soon approaching, she must decide if life is better lived or planned.

The Road Leads Back (Stonehill Series Book 1) by Marci Bolden

Stonehill Series Book 1“This is a heartfelt tale of second, and third, chances. Kara and Harry liked each other when they were in school together, but were both too shy to approach or tell one another. They spent one night together that irrevocably changed Kara’s life. Instead of college, she was homeless and sent to a community for unwed mothers. She learned to survive and raise her son, Phil. Twenty-seven years later, Harry reunites with Kara and is floored by the news he missed his son’s life. Harry wants to reconnect and convinces Kara and Phil to return to her hometown. The hometown she never returned to after being forced away and hurt by those adults in whom she should have had support. Everyone has much to be angry about and no one can seem to keep their tempers.

Sometimes the only place left to go is home.

Kara Martinson always thought her high school crush was out of her league, but they did share one night she’s never been able to forget. Nearly three decades after being disowned by her parents and forced to raise her son on her own, Kara’s made it—her art is being toasted at a gallery opening. Even better, she and her son are finally on stable ground. Until Mr. One-Night Stand himself crashes her party.

Harry Canton always knew Kara would make it as an artist. Almost thirty years after high school, he still considers her the one that got away. But the surprise reunion doesn’t quite go to plan when Harry discovers he left her with more than just memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move cross country for a fresh start with his father—and pleads with Kara to come home, too.

Kara hasn’t stepped foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away. But her son desperately wants the father he never had and denying him that may cost her everything. Can love heal old heartaches so Harry and Kara can have a second chance at the future they were robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much to face?
