Winter's Blush (The Fantasy Maker Series) Kindle Edition
The Fantasy Maker strikes an agreement with Clay Washington. All he needs to do is escort a young woman around Denver for five days. After that, he will receive his own fantasy vacation. What’s the catch? He must pretend to be someone he’s not.
Winn, a gal who’s never left Yuma, Arizona, is thrilled to visit a big city and experience snow for the first time in her life. But when her escort shows up late, then gets into a fistfight, second thoughts creep in. He harbors a phobia; she hides a secret. Despite their differences, they cannot deny the passion that ignites as their relationship deepens. And they are having the time of their life dining with a pirate, eating cake backstage with actors, and a lucky dog.
The Fantasy Maker mapped out an amazing week for Winn, but real life altered those plans. Their adventure is soon eclipsed by danger. Is their enemy Mother Nature or something far more evil? What do they need? A Christmas miracle.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020Great fun read. Winn has come to Denver on a Fantasy Maker vacation and is escorted by Clay. Clay is there to escort Winn before leaving on his Fantasy Maker vacation. Easy right, wrong. Clay and Winn both have secrets and are finding they are attracted to each other. When Winn misses her flight she joins Clay on his Fantasy Maker vacation and even more surprises arise. This is a fun read and has a few twists and turns to add to the fun
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021Clay is going to escort someone around Denver for a few days in exchange for his dream vacation. Winn won her dream vacation in the city, and Clay is her escort. They have some interesting adventures in their short time together, including the adoption of Lucky the dog. Lucky turns out to be a great judge of people's character. When they are stuck in a snowstorm while hiking, they finally are able to honestly answer each others' questions. There's a bit of real danger and suspense with someone who's stalking Winn, but that does not overshadow the sweet romance that's blossoming between Winn and Clay. My favorite thing in the story is that Winn's first expenditure from her Fantasy Maker spending money is a donation to the dog rescue.

Winter’s Blush, part of the Fantasy Maker series, mixes two fantasy contestants into one tale.
Winn works as a nursing home caregiver in Yuma, AZ. She longs to experience life in the city.
Clay dreads working on the family farm, especially now that his father started raising chickens. He longs to build his own life.
When they come together, with the help of the mysterious Fantasy Maker, their lives will never be the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clay and Winn make a cute couple. We see their flaws early in Clay’s temper and Winn’s naive, timid personality. These flaws highlight the growth the characters show by the end of the story.
Lucky, the rescue dog, plays a prominent role in Winter’s Blush. I so love a great dog character in my books. Lucky protects, defends, and demands ear rubs.
Once again, we meet Martin from the Fantasy Maker Company, but no clues to the identity of the “big boss”.
I went into this book without even reading the trailer, so was pleasantly surprised by the Christmas theme. With the tale taking place over such a short period of time, this story truly is love at first sight.
I recommend Winter’s Blush to lovers of romance with a side of mystery. Now, I’m off to read the next in the series.
This review is my honest, unbiased opinion of a digital book I received from the author.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2022This is a fun story that has an interesting turn and a dangerous twist that pulls you in from the start.
Winn arrived in Denver after getting a trip from the Fantasy Maker to have a 5-day Big City Experience. Clay also got a trip from the Fantasy Maker, but his had a few strings, he needed to escort Winn around Denver, before heading to his trip.
Soon Clay and Winn's adventure appears to take a life of it's own as fate take control and sends them on journey that they never expected. Great read I did not want to put down.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021Winn won a fantasy tour week in Denver, to see snow and experience city life, away from her Yuma Arizona background. Clay is supposed to be her guide and then he will win his fantasy tour afterwards, but he is running really late and almost is not there in time to protect her from a jerk who drugs her. The characters are terrific, with great backstories and dialogue, situations and intense feelings. The storyline has plenty of drama, surprises, danger, nature issues, a rescue dog, horses and much more. Loved the chemistry and outlook the two share. The ending was totally unexpected and wonderful.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022This has a lot of promise. I love the premise of the story. This had more sex talk than I like. It's not hard core steamy sex scenes, so if you like tame , then you will probably like this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019I had a hard time with this book. While I like the characters and heir backstories, the settings, and the plot, I just didn’t feel this book. I don’t know if it was the writing style or the perspectives written from, or lack thereof. It just felt a bit choppy. However, because the actual idea and info itself was good, three stars.

The second book in the Fantasy Maker series a well written story, it is a short quick read that I enjoyed reading. Clay and Winn fall in love, adopt a dog Lucky and invent survival skills near a ranch for rescued horses. There is drama, suspense, a villain and romance. This is a new Author to me,
