Book Review

Monica Collier’s enchanted yuletide novel, Pink: A Christmas Romance (release date October 5, 2021), will whisk you away to a holiday in New York City where the Spirit of Christmas begins to melt away the pain of loss; allowing healing, laughter and even, love, to permeate the frozen hearts of the main characters, Ethan and Charlotte.

Charlotte Rose, a southern belle with an engineer’s wit and a stunning smile, wants to make a new life for herself away from military secrets and heartbreaking trauma. Ethan Cooper, at big city lawyer in a hand-stitched suit, has buried deep his personal tragedy, numbing his heartache with work, jaded by closure that’s eluded him.

During a late fall solo lunch, Charlotte and Ethan find themselves contently alone, but, by happenstance or fate, shift chairs to enjoy a few laughs and some bacon and bourbon together.

A glimmer of holiday hope kindles, like evening candlelight, that could easily be blown out with the winds of corruption and deceit. However, as the main characters and friends follow the clues to exposing deep-seeded fraud, Ethan and Charlotte find that risking their lives to expose evil has given them a second chance at happiness–but only if they can warm the heart of Ethan’s snobbish and difficult mother.

Monica Collier in her vivacious Christmas Romance Novel, Pink, has me ready to wear a wool pencil skirt with a cashmere sweater as I assist my newfound friends in their efforts to expose evil, while taking time to delight in Christmas traditions, as they begin to trust love once more.”
