American Christian Fiction Writers' Genesis Award Finalist
Winner of the Swoony Award for Best Christmas Romance
Writing happy endings is easy. Living one is the hard part.
Georgia Cole—known in Hollywood as the “Holiday Goddess”—has made a name for herself writing heartwarming screenplays chock-full of Christmas clichés, but she has yet to experience the true magic of the season. So, when her eccentric grandmother volunteers her to direct a pageant at Georgia’s hometown community theater, she is less than thrilled. To make matters worse, she’ll be working alongside Weston James, her childhood crush and the one man she has tried desperately to forget.
Now, facing memories of a lonely childhood and the humiliation of her last onstage performance, seven years earlier, Georgia is on the verge of a complete mistletoe meltdown. As Weston attempts to thaw the frozen walls around her heart, Georgia endeavors to let go of her fears and give love a second chance. If she does, will she finally believe that Christmas can be more than a cliché?
Nicole Deese is a lover of fiction. When she isn’t writing—or daydreaming about writing—she can be found curled up and reading on a sofa. She often fantasizes about “reading escapes,” which look a lot like kid-free, laundry-free, and cooking-free vacations. A girl can dream, right?
Her debut novel, an inspirational contemporary romance, All for Anna, has hit multiple milestones since its release in January 2013, including a 4.7 star rating on Amazon and more than 150,000 downloads on Kindle. She has since completed the Letting Go series and is elbow-deep in a new series featuring both sisterly love and swoonworthy romance.
Nicole lives in Frisco, Texas, with her hunk of a husband, Tim, and her two rowdy boys, Preston and Lincoln.
Reviews
“A delightfully-fun romance full of hope and healing that is sure to bring laughter, tears, and a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.” —T. L. Gray, Kindle bestselling author
“It’s impossible to read A Cliché Christmas without wishing for snow, thinking of mistletoe, and longing for small-town life. From tear-your-heart-out dialogue to heart-skipping romance, author Nicole Deese pens her stories in a way that will keep you turning pages and begging for more.” —Amy Matayo, author of The Wedding Game, Love Gone Wild, and Sway
“Nicole Deese won me over at fa-la-la-la. It isn’t often that I laugh out loud when reading books. A Cliche Christmas was one of the rare few that earned that honor...and right from the beginning of the book. Georgia Cole, the main character, is downright familiar to me. The way she thinks, speaks, and behaves reminds me of a real woman with real issues: successful career vs. everything else? The character development and dialogue are always my main real considerations when I review books. Ms. Deese masters both of these with grace, wit, and a touch of sass. Needless to say, I simply loved this book and highly recommend it, not just for Christmas but at any time of the year.” —Sarah Price, bestselling author
“A Hallmark movie in the making, A Cliché Christmas is a magical love story that is anything but cliché, dazzling readers with a truly delightful plot and characters who shine more than the twinkle lights on a tree. One of my favorite holiday reads ever!” —Julie Lessman, award-winning author of the Daughters of Boston, Winds of Change, and Heart of San Francisco series
“‘Tis the season for some fun Christmas fare, and this book fits the bill. A Cliche Christmas is a page-turner with a wonderful setting, a brilliant cast of characters, and sigh-worthy scenes that will make you sleep deprived.” —Jenny B. Jones, award-winning author of A Katie Parker Production Series
“This story is begging to be made into a movie and I have decided to officially christen A Cliché Christmas as My Favorite Christmas Romance of All Freaking Time. Yes, I love it that much—and I’m betting that you will, too!” —USA Today, Happy Ever After
