Synopsis ~
Waitress
Tess Branson has earned a bad reputation, and the nickname "Fast
Tessie," as result of her poor judgment where men are concerned.
Tess learned from a young age that men – of all ages – were
interested in one thing from her and one thing only. But all Tess
ever really wanted was to connect with someone special – to mean
something to someone. Lucas Flynn, the short order cook at the
restaurant where Tess works, has just been released on parole. He’s
trying to get his life back on track, but can’t help noticing the
pretty waitress who treats him kindly, despite his past. At Lucas’s
urging, Tess makes a wish on a star, but they’ll have to rely on
the magic of Christmas to help it come true.
The
Christmas Wish is a novella and can be read as a standalone.

- Review for 'The Christmas Wish' by Krystle -
I was asked to read this novella in
exchange for an honest review, and I truly adored it!
This is a very sweet novella by Katy
Regnery, and if you've read By Proxy, you'll be glad to hear mention
of some familiar characters!!
Tess “Tessie” Branson is a waitress
at the local diner, who's past has earned her the nickname “Fast
Tessie”. She's no stranger to being used and tossed aside by men,
and since she's never opened her heart to any of them, that was
always okay. Until one night, when Tess has a rough night at work
with some customers and their snarky mouths, she heads outside sans
jacket to cool off under the stars in the cool mountain air, and is
joined by the short-order cook, Lucas.
Lucas has worked there for 4 months
since his release from prison, and he's noticed Tess, but hasn't
spoken to her. Figuring he has nothing to offer her as an ex-con, why
bother? He noticed that she hurried outside without her coat, so he
requests to go on break in order to see that she's alright after the
mishap with the jerks and take her her coat. At the end of their
conversation not only does she notice that he's genuinely being
'nice' to her and maintaining eye contact to her actual eyes, and not
her breasts, he asks her to do a pretty off the wall thing. For a
tough guy at least =P
Make a wish on a
star before you come in,” he said softly, without turning to face
her.
“It's
Christmastime. It might come true.”
This is Ms. Regnery's second
book I've read and once again, I loved it. It made me feel so warm
and fuzzy inside, I couldn't help but smile as I read it. Also
doesn't hurt that I am a holiday freak and I love Christmas. Might
have to make her books yearly reads around that time of year!

About the Author
KATY
REGNERY, winner of several regional RWA contests, has always loved
telling a good story and credits her mother with making funny,
heartwarming tales come alive throughout her childhood. A lifelong
devotee of all romance writing from Edwardian to present-day, it was
just a matter of time before Katy tried her hand at writing a love
story of her own.
As it turned out, one love story turned into a series of five Heart of Montana romances, following the love lives of the Yellowstone-based Lindstrom siblings. In addition to small-town contemporary romance, Katy is presently writing a paranormal romance that takes place in northern New England and the forests north of Quebec.
Speaking of forests, Katy lives in the relative-wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut where her writing room looks out at the woods and her husband, two young children and two dogs create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories of all are the messy and unexpected ones.
