I can't believe that it was almost three years ago that I got 'the call'. The life-changing call from Victoria Curran that turned my single title homeless story about Luke & Victoria into a six book small town Heartwarming series.
Love, Lies & Mistletoe is the sixth and final book in my Brookhollow series and saying Goodbye to the series was bittersweet. I love each of the characters I created in the small town and I know I wrote the HEA I set out to write...but I know I will definitely miss writing about this small town.
This last book is Heather Corbett's story. She has been a secondary character in the series since book 1 and my intent was always to end the series with her HEA, (spoiler alert) with her leaving Brookhollow. It is definitely a symbolic full-circle as the series opens with her best friend, Victoria returning to the small town.
There was a lot of pressure with this one. Fans of the series are amazing and I'm so grateful for the readers who looked forward to each instalment as they released. So, I wanted to wrap up the series in a way that would leave them with a warm feeling when they turned that last page.
I hope I succeeded:)
Happy Reading! And thank you all for hanging out in Brookhollow with me:) Maybe we will meet there again someday;)

This small-town sheriff has big-city secrets
As a detective in New York, Jacob Marx had been deep under cover in a drug cartel…until a bust went terribly wrong. Now posing as a good guy is proving even tougher. Since the force sent him to Brookhollow to lie low as a deputy sheriff, he's been struggling to stay detached from the townspeople. Especially Heather, the gorgeous, high-heeled bartender at the local pool hall who asks too many questions. Tempted as he is, he can't allow himself to connect with her or anyone else. His career and safety are at stake. Of course, a little flirting couldn't hurt… Could it?
Aw, Jennifer, I can only imagine how hard it is to say goodbye to your characters after six books. I had trouble doing it with just three in my K-9 trilogy.
ReplyDeleteFor readers who missed buying your backlist titles through the recent online promotion can still purchase them at a total 30% off through the Harlequin website. I also look forward to reading your other November release, the Winter Wedding Bells anthology.
Best wishes with your release and your current WIP, whatever it is!
Thanks Kate!! Yeah, I'm so excited that The Trouble With Mistletoe (book 1) is currently on sale for $1.50:) Love that readers get an inexpensive introduction to the series!
DeleteCongratulations on your sixth book, Jennifer. That's quite an accomplishment. I can imagine how difficult it is to say goodbye when you've spent so much time with the characters.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy Kate mentioned your backlist titles. I'd love to read the series from the beginning.
The premise for Heather's story sounds so intriguing. I'm curious, do you plan to write another multi-book series?
Hi Jill!! Thank you-I love Heather and Jake's story. It was my first dip into Romantic Suspense Waters lol:)
DeleteI've also written a three-book MMA sports romance series for Penguin's Intermix line-a higher heat level. And next year I'm releasing a new 5 book small town series with hockey heroes from Grand Central's Forever line. :)
I hope you will check out the Brookhollow series and I really hope you enjoy them. Three of the six titles are holiday themed, so it's a great time to read them lol:)
xo
Congratulations, Jennifer Snow! You know I have loved this series since book #1. Looking forward to reading this one as well. I can only imagine how you feel leaving Brookhollow for good, but remember it will always be with you ( ; It's difficult for me to imagine leaving Rankins, too! Good Luck on all of your many projects. You deserve all the success in the world!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol!! Have I mentioned how much I adore you?? lol:)
DeleteThank you for sharing Brookhollow with us, the readers. I love the series and, for me, Falling for Leigh is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with what comes next for you.
Thanks so much Marcie!! Falling for Leigh is my favorite too lol. I love the three holiday themed books in the series, but Falling for Leigh was inspired by a friend of mine, so it has a special place in my heart:) xo
DeleteCongratulations on such a wonderful series!! You did a fantastic job and I am so happy for you as all these amazing NEW opportunities come your way. You deserve it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!! I'm so excited about the new series releasing next year...Glenwood Falls, Colorado is so different than Brookhollow, New Jersey but just as warm and welcoming:) Hope you'll visit;)
Deletexo
This was such a fantastic series. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Linda! So glad you enjoyed it:) xoxo
DeleteI am always heartbroken when a favorite series ends. Good thing there is plenty of room for a new one to become a favorite!
ReplyDelete:) Exactly!! And the good news is that we can always re-read them and visit anytime! xo
DeleteCongrats on new release. Love small town stories. Will have to check out the rest of the series. Good luck with future endeavors.

Thanks Christine! Hope you enjoy the series:) The first book- The Trouble With Mistletoe is avail on Amazon for $1.49 right now:)

ReplyDelete:) Exactly like saying goodbye to friends lol. I don't usually read my books once they release, but I may have to revisit these lol:)
Deletexo
Goodbye is always hard. Sounds like a great book. Looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Crystal!! I hope you enjoy Heather and Jake's story:) xo
DeleteCongratulations on your new book! Leaving a familiar place is hard. I hope your next "hometown" brings you as much joy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meredith:) So far, the new small town of Glenwood Falls, Colorado is definitely helping to make leaving Brookhollow a little easier:) Getting to write the Thanksgiving short definitely helped to:) Have you checked those out yet on the Harlequin.com site?
DeleteIt's always bittersweet when a favorite series ends. This sounds like the perfect conclusion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brooke! I hope so:) The last line in this book is probably my favorite from the entire series lol:) xo
DeleteNew author for me always excited when I find a new author means more to read.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim:) I love new readers:) Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will check out the series! xo
DeleteYou will just have to find a new town to visit. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletedebby236 at gmail dot com
There are so many new towns just waiting to be discovered lol:) xo
DeleteThe book sounds really good. I haven't read the series. :( From the blurb and your comments, I sure readers are going to need tissue.
ReplyDeleteHaving a series end is always hard.
Hi Kim:) The first book in the series was lighter and flirty in tone, and then the books got a little more emotional as they progressed lol, so I deliberately made book 6-LOVE, LIES & MISTLETOE another lighter book in tone. Definitely still emotional as the final book in the series but not as much as a tear-jerker as Falling for Leigh is or Fighting for Keeps lol:) xo
Deletelove your books and this one sounds awesome too -- jody.714@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne:) I hope you enjoy it! xo
DeleteDon't think I have read this series, but I love HEAs. I am ready to try new stories.
ReplyDeleteYes please-try new stories!LOL:) The Trouble With Mistletoe (book 1) is currently on sale for $1.50 on Amazon;) xo
DeleteI love reading these kinds of books, and always look forward to the next in the series. It is almost like you really know the people and the town is real to me. It is always sad when the series ends. If I try to tell non readers this they think that I am crazy lol Thank you for the wonderful stories :)
ReplyDeleteYou've come to the right group-we don't think you're crazy-it makes you one of us lol:) Thanks for stopping by:) xo

Thanks Jennifer! I hope you enjoy it:) xo
DeleteCongratulations on the release of the sixth and final book in the series. I can imagine a bit of sadness as you leave these characters behind because I am sure they are just like family to you and at the same time I can imagine your excitement as you move on to this new chapter in your life and author life as well. In a way I know how you feel, through my son if you can imagine. My son has been in band since 5th grade. He moved onto to middle school band and then high school band. He then was accepted to the University of Maryland and of course was in the band there for the years he was there. Today he played for the last time since he is a senior and will be graduating in May. He has not chosen a profession in music. He is going to be a police officer. So in a way it's like you, moving on but starting an exciting new chapter. I wish you the best of luck in your new series and all life brings you. I am looking forward to reading this. I Love Harlequin Heartwarming books and a Christmas book is a fun bonus. Sincerely, Deanne
