    Heidi Rice

    USA Today bestselling author Heidi Rice used to work as a film journalist until she found a new dream job writing romance for Harlequin in 2007. She adores getting swept up in a world of high emotions, sensual excitement, funny feisty women, sexy tortured men and glamourous locations where laundry doesn't exist. She lives in London, England with her husband, two sons and lots of other gorgeous men who exist entirely in her imagination (unlike the laundry, unfortunately!)

      This book is quite funny knowing that the story’s plot is about a girl looking for a candy-man, someone who’ll made her feel like a queen, grants her wishes, and just pure sexual affair, no strings attached, no pain, just for the Christmas holiday…“On the first night of Christmas”is a sweet, sexy, funny romance book, with a package of hope, dreams, love.The characters are well-defined and developed, I find myself easily falling for both of them, I especially love Jace, with his bad-boy, reckless, billionaire-attitude, he is still a sweet gentleman--- any girl would surely fall for..:).I love the entire plot, when Cassie keeps trying not to fall for Jace and Jace trying to convince he’s not falling for Cassie either.Ms. Rice wrote a vivid description of Christmas in London, and reading this book feels like I’m there too..:) I also salute her for the wonderful and witty dialogues, and as expected hot romance scenes.There are times, that I cried my heart out along with the characters, especially with the ending….:0On the first night of Christmas is not just a seasonal fast-paced book, it’s perfect for anytime of the year…Highly recommended to those who enjoyed a little bit of love, romance, humor, and everything in between…:D

      ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS by author Heidi Rice, is a November 2011 release by Mills & Boon UK for it’s Modern series. Jace Ryan was Cassidy Fitzgerald’s first teenage crush back in high school. Has she really grown over him? She is wishing for a candy-man for a sweet fling during Christmas. And she meets him, the bad boy from high school! It was hilarious the way Cassie jumps into a stranger’s car, eyes flashing, wanting to give him a piece of her mind. And then she realizes it’s Jace. He takes her back to his hotel to clean up the mud he splashed over her clothes and they end up having a passionate fling! But it’s for a week only. What will happen after the week is over? Will Jace still want to see Cassie? Jace doesn’t believe in Christmas. When Cassie brings him a Christmas gift, he is stunned at receiving a gift for the first time in his life. Will Cassie be able to hide her love from Jace? In Jace’s experience love hurt. It hurt the person loving as his mother was being hurt. It was messy, disappointing, complicated and unnecessary. He never planned to feel it. And he certainly doesn’t know how to express it. He isn’t able to articulate his feelings because of a childhood marred by violence. I had grave doubts how the author would manage to get this two characters together for their happily ever after, but I was pleasantly surprised. The growth and progression of the love between Cassie and Jace, though they, themselves are not aware at the time, is depicted in a natural flow which is emotionally satisfying. We know Jace loves Cassie, yet he doesn’t realize it because he feels himself incapable of experiencing love. The author has delivered a tortured hero, who doesn’t believe in love, a strong feisty heroine, who ends up wanting the fairy tale love with all its frills and rolled them in a story that is filled with emotion and sizzle. Cassie and Jace’s story is hugely enjoyable and highly romantic tale readers will find absolutely impossible to resist. Redolent with breathtaking romance, spectacular emotional punch, a believable conflict and vivid atmospheric details, ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS is the latest high standard offering by author Heidi Rice.
