Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.
Make merry...
Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spencer immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?
…and hope for a miracle.
Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime
Chasing Christmas Eve is the fourth book in the Heartbreaker's Bay series. I have loved this series from the beginning. Each book is full of funny characters, deep friendships and sigh worthy romance. This one is Spencer's story and among my favorites of the series.
Spence has always intrigued me. He is the resident genius and millionaire. He is also a tech geek who doesn't think he can have a long term relationship because of his long work hours. He has a tendency to get lost in himself. He has dealt with heartbreak in the past and that has prevented him from feeling like her deserves love. Colbie has fled to San Francisco to find her muse and finish her latest book. I loved how they met. It was too cute. While their courtship was very short (only a couple of weeks), I loved these two together. I thought they balanced each other out. Colbie is a fixer and never takes time for herself. I was applauding her when she finally told her family off.
I highly recommend this one as well as the series. Each one can be read as a stand alone. It looks like the next story up is Joe and Kylie's. I can't wait to read it!

Enjoy this excerpt:
Spence drew in a deep, shuddering breath that wasn’t much
steadier than hers and pulled off his now crooked glasses. “Hang on a second.”
He tossed them aside. “I need to check on something.”
“What?” she asked warily.
Once again he slowly drew her in, his eyes heated and
focused on hers, infusing her with some of his calm. “I want to see if this is
how it’s going to be.”
“How what’s going to be?” she whispered.
“This.”
His kiss started out
just as slow and thoughtful as the first, all careful control. But when his
tongue touched hers, control flew straight out the window.
