Stephanie Bond
258books1,769followersUSA TODAY bestselling author Stephanie Bond was seven years deep into a systems engineering career and pursuing an MBA at night when an instructor remarked that she had a flair for writing and suggested that she submit to academic journals.

Entertaining family listening 🎧🎶
This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book one of six.
It has been a time since I listened to Stephanie Bond and I enjoyed the first book in the series.
Comfort is working in New York City when she gets notice of her aunts death. On coming back to Georgia she learns that her aunt has left her the aunt's estate. Comfort's mother wants her to sell the property. Comfort is working on straightening things out. At the same time she is making friends and enjoying some of the job. Then she uncovered something that makes her wonder if her aunt was murdered? Continued in the next book.
I would recommend this series to readers of romantic family and friends relationship adventure mystery novels.2024 👒 🤔🤗🐕

A bit of a slow start but the book is good. Can’t wait to what’s in store for Comfort in book 2.

Quick read with many unanswered questions.
This is a very short book, but it seems as if each page adds more to the mystery. Looking forward to part 2!

Another great series!! I love Stephanie Bond's serials and was so excited to see another one come out before the holiday. I waited to read all of it over the course of a couple of days during my holiday break and as usual, I was hooked from the very first part. Can't wait for the next set!

Part 1 of Holiday Girl was great. Can't wait to dig into the rest. I love all of Stephanie's work, but her serials are great. A lot of people read them daily as each day is released. I enjoy waiting until the month of Dec to start so I can devour the entire story. Since Holiday Girl is about the holiday's, starting in Dec make it that much better. Stephanie NEVER disappoints.

A Christmas Shop Daily Serial
I love Stephanie Bond's daily serials! The story is divided into 6 books with a month for each book. Comfort Ann Joy lives in NYC but her Aunt dies and she inherited a Christmas Shop. The shop is having financial problems and Comfort (Comfy) has to figure it all out. There is family, friendship, murder, and humor which makes reading thus fun! #HolidayGirl. @StephanieBond.

First in the series
Comfort loses her intern job and gets a call from her mother that her Aunt has died in Georgia. She flies down for the funeral and finds out her Aunt has left her the Christmas store and the apartment over it. As she starts to dig into it she finds the business is in the red. An easy reading story.

Hooked again
I'm so excited that Bond has a new series. The main character has a kooky name and big dreams but her aunts death sends her in a new direction. Now I have to wait until August----aghhhhh

I love Stephanie Bond’s “soap opera� series! Each one holds a unique charm and Holiday Girl delivers. As always she leaves us hanging for the next installment. How can you not love a good Christmas story😃

draws you right in�.
Here we go again with another fun serial from Stephanie! Jack Terry and Prissy have already made a “cameo�. Can’t wait for the next installment. As another reader said on a review of Elevator Gril, and I agree totally, Stephanie never disappoints.

I absolutely love these serials.
Over the years. I’ve fallen in love with these daily serials. They are always fun, and entertaining. And I can tell this is going to be another good one.

Holiday Girl
Love the daily serial books. So easy to read and always entertaining. Recommend all her serials. Reading a day at a time is a perfect way to break up a book opposed to a long chapter.

A fun,easy quick read, mixed with a bit of holiday feel and a sprinkle of humor. I would recommend for anyone, especially those who love a little Christmas in July theme.

Another Hit
I always find something in common with Bond's characters. This one is no exception. Start with her name. Genius. I picture one of my friends when I see Comfort. I have no idea where this plot is going, but I'm along for the ride, especially if it's on Santa's Sleigh.

Of course
The nice little story of Comfort Ann Joy won't have any dark mystery, right? Well, it's a Stephanie Bond Daily Series. What do you think?

likable characters
Stephanie’s stories always give me a good feel for the personality’s of the characters. I want to know more about them and what they are about.

Stephanie Bond has become one of my favorite authors so I decided to try this series by her. It starts off with an oddly named young woman, Comfort. and her drive to become a fashion designer.
She was even on a fashion show but came in second. She goes to work in a fashion place but is treated badly. The focus changes when her aunt dies and ends up leaving her a Christmas store that her aunt ran.
There are problems for her there, though and she finds out something about her aunt's death.
The book does a good job of introducing the characters and setting up a scenario that will definitely lead to more interesting developments in her life.

Having started Graveyard Girl and am waiting anxiously for part 4, I decided to check out another serial and am so glad I did! Only having read part one, I'm already invested in this storyline and can't wait to read part 2. I think Comfort Ann Joy and I are going to be bffs in my head very quickly.

Love this new serial series
I enjoy mostly everything Stephanie Bond writes. And it was just last year I found the serial books which keep a good storyline only addict me further. Since we are in the holiday season and I have been home sick. I bought this entire series. If I have to be in bed, I might as well have a story that is keeping me in suspense with some laughs also.

wonderful and brilliant book
I loved the way this book ended, I’m into all mystery books like this one. I will continue to read all of her books. I’ve already read the Elevator books in order. Keep these books coming. There very exciting to read and not know really what’s going to happen next or in the next book to follow.
