"This was my first Josie Riviera. This is such an awesome book Christmas book to get you ready for the season. It's a fast easy read with a great plot twists and turns, intriguing characters. I loved the romance between Vance and Chiara. Chiara is a nurse who is hired by Vance to help care for his sister. Vance is a computer app developer. Vance and his sister have not been celebrating Christmas, he lets Chiara bring the Christmas spirit and cheer in the house. Vance and Chiara's romance starts to blossom but has some bumpy roads, but in the end love finds away. I loved all the Christmas descriptions of the town, the house and all the horses, I especially loved Peppermint the horse, they made the story come alive! I highly recommend this book you will enjoy it like Idid and you need to grab a copy to see how they get their HEA!!! I will definitely be reading more of this author!!!"

"Chiara moved to Virginia three years ago for a guy and then she broke up with him and since she was already in school so she waited and this Christmas is the last time she is away from her family on Christmas. Vance is divorced and determined not to marry again and then he meets his sister's new nurse try as he might he can't get his mind off of her and now he and Gertrude are celebrating Christmas because of Chiara. Pregnant horses, two people who are scarred by love don't believe they can find it again is like watching a Hallmark movie but in actuality reading a Josie Rivera book. Awesome, well written and the characters are amazing."
From the Author
I wanted to write a holiday romance in a picturesque location and set Sweet Peppermint Kisses in the fictional small town of Turning Point, Virginia.
The heroine, Chiara Johnson, is a wonderful caregiver. I've always admired the dedication and compassion of anyone in the nursing profession.
The hero, Vance Thatcher, runs a horse ranch. He is responsible and loyal and level-headed. In my research, I also learned a great deal about dating apps! Set against the backdrop of horses and peppermint candy, it is my hope that you will celebrate the joyous Christmas holiday along with me and my characters.
If you enjoyed Sweet Peppermint Kisses, please help other people find this book and post an online review.
Happy Reading and Happy Holidays!
And remember, "There's no place like home."

- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018Sweet Peppermint Kisses brings together so many of my favorite things that I hated to see it end.
Chiara Johnson accepts a temporary position at a private ranch to help pay off the last of her nursing school tuition so that she can return to her family home in Kansas City. She is hired by Vance Thatcher, a computer app developer, to help care for his sister, Gertrude, who is recovering from a riding accident.
The author creatively finds common interests between Vance and Chiara. Although Vance and Gertrude have not actively celebrated Christmas in many years, she also interweaves ways that they find the Christmas spirit with Chiara in the house. The romance between Vance and Chiara blossoms quickly, and while it is not a smooth ride, love triumphs in the end.
I love the characters in this book and the way that they relate to each other. I’ve loved horses for as long as I can remember, so bringing these majestic animals into the story is yet another element that draws me to this story. Of course, anyone who loves Christmas will love the holiday theme.
This is a novella that can easily be read in one sitting. Pick up your copy, find a comfortable corner, and read it from cover to cover.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021I love Josie Riviera Christmas romance books. She transports me to different places. The first time to Portugal. This time I stayed in the USA but went across the country to Virginia. I enjoyed being at the horse farm with Chiara and Gertrude. The romance that blossoms between Chiara and Vance along with the obstacles in their way put me in the role of a sister. My heart swelled with the sweet love developing and I felt the frustrations of a sibling when it appeared they were going to part ways without acknowledging their feelings. I wanted to shake them both. The book was a quick, sweet, read. If you need an afternoon escape that brings with it some Christmas cheer give this book the opportunity to take you away.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021Wonderful book about a nurse Chiara who takes a temporary job. Her employer Vance who has been married needs the nurse to provide care for his sister Gertrude. Chiara arrives late and with a police officer the first day. She quickly becomes friends with Gertrude.
So much happens so grab the book to find out and join in on the Christmas celebration.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021This audiobook is a sweet, clean story to be enjoyed anytime of the year.
Chiara moved from Kansas to Virginia to get her RN license and degree. She plans to take a new job for a month helping a young woman while she recovers. Then it’s back home to Kansas.
The brother of the young woman is Vance.
While Chiara is all about Christmas, Vance never experienced it as a child. Something Chiara is determined to change.
Even though both have been hurt in matters of the heart, a relationship develops. But is this only for a month? Can Vance ask Chiara to stay? Will Chiara change her plans?
This is a story about finding love a second time around and taking chances.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020This was a fun wonderful Christmas read. It was very much like a Hallmark movie, which I love!
I loved hero Vance, he was awesome!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019This was a great story of love at first sight. I enjoyed reading and getting to know the welcoming characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021item was as expected
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023Chiara was looking forward to going back home to Kansas after passing her RN licensing examination in Virginia. She planned to go back home as soon as her current home health nursing job is finished. She didn’t count on falling for her patient’s big brother, Vance.
Vance is busy running the ranch and making sure his sister is well taken care of. He can’t be bothered with Christmas. Chiara loves everything about Christmas and is determined to change his attitude.
This book has the makings of a Hallmark Christmas movie. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to my next Josie Riviera book. Her sweet, clean books are a delight to read. Josie Riviera never disappoints.
