Talk About My Favorite Authors: Sweet Inspiration

So who loves a good Christmas story? Or a story about Santa Claus? Well I know I sure do especially when I found out about Penny Watson's upcoming debut paranormal romance novel called, Sweet Inspiration, which is about the oldest son of Santa Claus who is one of five big strapping single, sexy sons and also the first book in her Klaus Brothers Series. I was lucky enough to have Penny contact me about scheduling an author interview, author guest blog and book review. The author interview and author guest blog will be schedule to post in December because that is when her debut novel will be officially published for everyone to buy so don't forget to check back to read more about Penny and her debut novel. I was given by Penny an advanced readers copy of the book to review here on my review blog and I was so excited to be given that chance because I really wanted to read this book. I was really intrigued about reading a novel that is Santa Claus family since that is not an ordinary plot in paranormal romance novels. As I read the novel I really feel in love with the characters and was happy to find out that it's a 5 book series for each of the 5 sexy brothers.

Nicholas Klaus is a master pastry chef, a strict disciplinarian, and the eldest son of the legendary Santa Claus. And reading about him was such a pleasure because he is one unique man who I fell in love with along with the heroine. And one look at café owner Lucy Brewster sends him into an unexpected tailspin of lusty desires which he didn't expect since baking sweets in his kitchen have been his only desire in such a long time. They only know each other for less than a day but they an instant attraction that neither of them ever expected to happen when they speak to one another for the first time. But when Lucy is injured, Nicholas makes a decision that catapults both of their lives into turmoil that will help them decide if they are meant to be with one another or if they are just meant for a brief fling. Lucy Brewster, the free-spirited proprietor of Sweet Inspiration, has a flair for concocting sugary confections but no time for adventure that she so desires to happen for her. She gets more than she bargained for when she awakens in the North Pole...rambunctious elves, a fitness-obsessed Santa, and the man of her dreams making her fall in love with him with every day that passes by. But then she asks herself if she has what it takes to become the next Mrs. Klaus?

Well of course Lucy has what it takes to become the next Mrs. Klaus but that may not be what is destined to happen for her and Nicholas as a couple. As I got to know both Lucy and Nicholas I just fell in love with both of them because I knew they were right for one another from the very start but I saw that there would be obstacles that they would have to overcome to make that happen. I also really fell in love with the entire Klaus family because they were just so together even though they were all differently unique with their own talents it didn't get in the way of them caring and loving one another for who they are. Now the elves were a different case because I had a bit of trouble with the elder elves council who were not understanding of Nicholas' passion for cooking as well as his love for Lucy who is a "Suddie" who wasn't supposed to find out about the Klaus family without their permission. I was conflicted with the ending because I was happy that Nicholas and Lucy ended up happily with one another but I was a bit sad to see the novel end. But I was cheered up when I found out that there would be more books about the wonderful Klaus family in the future to look forward to. Penny Watson delivers an exciting and magical debut novel that will have you falling in love with the Klaus family from the very beginning and will not let you go even after the story has ended. I look forward to all of Penny Watson's future books especially the next 4 books in her Klaus Brothers series which I recommend everyone to put on their to-watch list immediately. Also I got some inside information from the author Penny Watson herself that she is now working on the second book in the Klaus Brothers series which is Oskar Klaus' story called Sweet Magik. I give this book 4.5 Open Books:

Oh that isn't right! You intrigue me about not one but a full five book series and then tell me I have to wait until December! Not fair.
