Something Just Like ThisBy Tracy Krimmer
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Age category: Adult
Release Date: February 14, 2018
Blurb:
Love? Second chances? That crap is for romantics, not realists like Juliette. She has a bad attitude about love and an even worse one when it comes to second chances. And she may dress like an elf for a few weeks out of the year, but that doesn’t mean she loves Christmas.
Stability? Purpose? Landon is surfing a pleasant wave of both until he's fired. Devastating news from his sister certainly doesn’t help. At least he has the holidays to look forward to.
When Landon shows up at the mall and Juliette prevents a disaster, he can’t stop thinking about that sweet elf. Juliette doesn’t believe in the spirit of Christmas, but she can’t help but wonder why Landon was in her line that day. Could Landon deserve one of those second chances she's so unwilling to give?

Excerpt:
“Don’t
be a Grinch!”
“Huh?”
I lift my gaze and my best friend and co-worker Carly stands in the doorway,
the smile so bright on her face it almost blinds me. “What do you mean don’t be
a Grinch?”
“Oh,
you know,” she says as she makes her way into the room, planting herself in my
chair. “Like you are every holiday season.”
“I’m
not a Grinch.” Maybe I am. I try my best not to show it. It’s possible I don’t
have a convincing poker face. Poker was never my game, anyway. I’m more of a
Solitaire kind of woman.
“You
most certainly are. Every Christmas party you sulk at the table drinking gin
and tonic and refuse to join in on anything. This year, you are in.
You’ll be the life of the party.”
“Over
my dead body.”
“Shit,
Jules, your stiff body would be a better time than you are alive at these
functions.”
She’s
right, and I know it. Why is she always right? I want to take offense but it’s
no secret I’m not Christmas’s biggest fan. I may be the only elf working at the
mall that despises it. The elf job isn’t for me, though. I do it for others.
That’s festive, isn’t it? Isn’t Christmas about giving? I do plenty of that.
“Leave
me alone. And why are you so bubbly? Did you drink a bottle of bubble bath or
something?” I grab the container of pens, staples, and paperclips out of the
box and place them on the desk. This is much easier to deal with than the
picture of my family with our fake smiles. I don’t know why I keep that picture
anyway.
“Oh, I
don’t know.”
She
dots her face with her fingertips, moving them around from one side to the
other. Why is she acting so weird? “Wait.” I stop when I see it. “Are you
wearing an engagement ring?”
She
squeals and pops out of the chair, rushing over to show me. Her hand misses
smacking me in the face as she shows off her princess cut ring, sparkles and
all. “Pretty.”
“Pretty?
Are you kidding me right now, Jules? This ring is gorgeous and fit for
the fairest princess in the land.”
“Which
is you, I assume.”
“What
crawled into your pants this morning? Or should I ask who didn’t?
Another bad date, huh?”
I
shrug, not in the mood to discuss my date with Romeo. No joke. My cousin Dana
claimed she found the perfect guy for me, and I said yes to a blind date. His
name was Romy, like Mira Sorvino in that movie Romy & Michele’s High
School Reunion. I’d only ever heard the name Romy from that movie. It
turned out he used Romy as a nickname for Romeo. Yeah. Dana set me up with a Romeo
because of course we’d be Romeo and Juliette. Barf. I don’t even spell my name
like the Shakespearean character, and the last thing I would ever do is poison
myself over a man. Dana had her fun. I did not. She’s never setting me up
again.
“Let’s
say I got home very early, watched an entire movie, and was asleep by
ten.”
“Ouch. That is a
bad date.”
About the Author:Tracy Krimmer loves coffee, popcorn, Drew Barrymore, and the movie Saving Silverman. She enjoys reading great books (of course) and writing realistic characters for you to enjoy.
