Applen iBooksista löytyy kummallisia ilmaisnäytteitä, esimerkkinä Lexy Timmsin hömppäromaani, jota aluksi kuvittelin kansikuvan perusteella vampyyritarinaksi: Driving Home for Christmas (Dark Shadow Publishing, 2017).
Romaani ilmeisesti aloittaa kirjasarjan "biljonääreistä", eli kyseessä on eräänlainen tuhkimotarinan versio, tai ehkä pikemminkin kaunotar ja hirviö -muunnelma. Muutaman sivun romaanista jaksoin selata.
Colin Murphy Is the CEO of Murphy Inc and is a workaholic. Christmas, or any holiday in face, doesn't mean much to him. When his business trip travel plans get interrupted by a freak snowstorm, he’s forced to find a way home by other means.
Abigail Thompson can’t wait for this year to be over. After losing her job, her boyfriend and apartment, she’s ready to go home for a much-needed break and to regroup. But when her plane is grounded because of a snow storm, she has to find another way. She makes her way to the car rentals only to find the last car has just been given to a tall dark sexy man. Definitely not Santa, his name is Colin Murphy. When Colin finds out they’re head in the same direction, he offers her a lift. It’s nearly Christmas afterall.
What should be an easy 8-hour drive turns into 2 days of mishaps and mayhem.
She knows every Christmas song off by heart, even though she can’t carry a turn. She’s happy, he’s a real Christmas Grinch. Will this unplanned fiasco be the start of something magical?
