Christy de la Cruz
had it allsuccessful career as an interior decorator in Albuquerque, marriage to a fun, handsome man, and a supportive family, especially her cousin Maggie (Magdalena). Now shes down to two out of three. That great husband (her first love) turned out to leave her
.for another man. Now Christy feels lostand a little bitter, if truth be toldhumiliated, and is licking her wounds as she tries to get back in the dating game. But The Rules” and Love in 90 Days” arent working and Christy is in serious danger of becoming too prickly to get near, much less to date. Then Maggie presents Christy with three great guys, just like the three wise men of the nativity story, making an effort, bearing gifts and displaying their wares, all for her: Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar. Melchior is a sexy outdoorsman with a huge love of wildlife; Caspar a metrosexual pretty boy, Santa Fe-style; and Balthazar a rugged, laconic cowboy type. Each is gorgeous; each woos Christy hard. But Christy gets more out of it than a predictable tale of which king will win her hand (though one of them will!); each king brings inspiring life lessons about humility and compassion that are heartwarming and perfect for the holiday season.
The Three Kings is Alisas most traditional novel yet, with emphasis on the importance of family, faith, friendship, and culture, told against the unique and magical backdrop of New Mexico. Its also a fun bookthe men she chooses among are great, its witty as can be, and has a heartfelt story that delivers.
