From the Inside Flap Excerpt:"Come here, cutie pie. Step up." Melisa Hart stuck her finger into the birdcage for her lovebird, Cassie. "That's a good girl."Her entire class of kindergarteners held themselves still in barely suppressed excitement."Can I hold her?" her most talkative student, Bree, squealed."It's 'may I hold her,' and, no, not right now." Melisa brought her bird's beak to her lips and let Cassie take a nibble, which was her version of a kiss."Eweee!" Mattie, the tallest boy in the class, shouted, pointing. "She kissed the bird on the lips.""Beak," Bree corrected Mattie. "Birds don't have lips.""Oh yeah?" Mattie retorted. "How do you know? Bird Brain Bree."Melisa stuck Cassie on her shoulder and put her hands over her hips. "Class. What did I say about teasing? Is it nice or mean?""Mean," the children shouted in unison, startling Cassie, whose wings flapped briefly."Inside voices," Melisa reminded the children. "Cassie gets scared easily.""Will she fly?" Mattie asked."Of course she can fly." Bree turned her nose up at the taller boy. "Everyone knows birds can fly.""Actually, she has her wings clipped to keep her safe." Melisa tickled Cassie under her wing and said, "Scratchy."The little bird lifted her wing and spread out the feathers."You're stupid." Mattie stuck his tongue out at Bree."That's enough," Melisa said. "Mattie, go back to your sharing chair. Bree, you too. Talking out of turn. The rest of you will get to line up and hold Cassie.""But I wasn't being mean," Bree said."You were belittling Mattie and talking without raising your hand. Go."She stomped back to her chair, her blond curls bouncing. "My Papa's getting me a big bird for Christmas.""You too, Mattie." Melisa pointed toward the boy's chair."Screech," Mattie shrieked and flapped his arms at Cassie.The bird squeaked and flapped her stubby wings. She lifted straight up like a helicopter, hit her head on the ceiling and landed on the top of a row of hanging overhead lights.The rest of the class jumped up and down, pointing and yelling."She can fly.""Come here, little birdie.""Is she stuck up there? Is a fireman going to get her?""Oh look, she's scared.""Everyone, take your chairs," Melisa said as calmly as she could. "Sharing time is over.""Ahhh ..." the children complained.Melisa glanced at the wall clock. Ten more minutes until Christmas break. As much as she loved her students, their energy and excitement with Christmas drawing near meant they couldn't sit still or follow directions.She passed out the green candy Christmas trees she made by drizzling melted candy over straight pretzel sticks, along with a flyer about the Giving Tree Toy Drive at the Reed Christmas Tree Farm. Bring a wrapped toy and take a picture with a pet bird, ride in a firetruck, and other fun activities.When the bell rang, Melisa stood at the door and wished all the children a happy vacation and New Year. She kept one eye peeled for Cassie, in case she made a break for the open doorway, but the little bird seemed content to perch high above her and preen her colorful feathers."Bye, Miss Hart," Bree waved her candy Christmas tree. "I want to take a picture with Cassie. How are you getting her down?""The janitor has a ladder.""My Papa's coming home for Christmas." Bree nodded. "I prayed real hard.""He will, sweetie." Melisa caught the eye of Ella, Bree's aunt, and reassured. "I'm also praying for him.""Are you going to the Christmas Tree Farm tomorrow with Cassie?" Ella took the green pamphlet from Bree and helped her unwrap the Christmas tree candy."If I can get her down from the light." Melisa pointed to her bird. "How about you?""Bree, you want to go to the toy drive?" Ella ruffled Bree's head."Yes, I want to hold Ms. Hart's birdie and take a picture. But we have to bring a toy.""Then let's go to the toy store and pick one up," Ella said, winking at Melisa. "Maybe we'll see your teacher there tomorrow.""Sure thing." Melisa said. "Let's have coffee some time and catch up now that school's over.""Great. I'll text you." Ella took Bree's hand.Once all the students were gone, Melisa shut the door and called Larry, the custodian. After she got Cassie down, she'd have to get her wings trimmed again, despite what the guys on the bird forum argued.Clipping was for Cassie's safety. She'd heard too many stories of birds flying away, landing in frying pans, or crashing into windows to be persuaded by the free-flight people, especially that arrogant guy with the handle Lovebone who claimed his parrot regularly flew outdoors and hadn't gotten lost yet.These days, anyone could say anything on the internet without proof.Melisa climbed onto a table and held her finger, waving it up and down as a landing strip. "Come on, Cassie. Don't be afraid. Fly to me, baby. Come on."The bird bent low and arched her wings, shaking and considering, but unable to figure out a way down. She'd been so frightened by Mattie that instinct took over, but now that she was calm, she couldn't bring herself to try.Melisa turned on her cell phone to check her messages. Maybe she'd ask Lovebone how he got his bird to fly to him.# # #Dr. Rob Reed was running late. He hated evening shifts, and these days, they were getting slammed, especially with the increased ambulance traffic due to all the holiday parties and their drinking and carousing activities.He whistled for his bird, Casey, a lovebird he rescued from his irresponsible actor brother who was the king of the impulse buy. The little bird flew skillfully, hovering a second before landing on his outstretched finger."Good boy," Rob said, handing him a sunflower seed. He tucked the bird inside his cage. "Papa has to go to work. Sorry I have to cover you early tonight."Rob was an emergency room doctor working shifts that jumped around without rhyme or reason. He'd go from twelve-hour overnight shifts, to sixteen-hour six AM to ten PM shifts, to ambulance rides to transfer critical patients. But it was the evening shifts that relegated his dating life to a big fat zero.Not that he could complain. He was making good money for a young doctor fresh out of residency, and this year, he'd purchased a cabin in the mountains near Lake Tahoe. Not bad for a twenty-nine-year-old.San Francisco General was the only level-one trauma center for the entire City of San Francisco and northern San Mateo county. Once Rob was on the job, he was on. No time for phone calls, internet, chit-chat, or even catching a bite to eat.After packing his food in thermal packs, he checked the free flight parrot forum where he was the moderator.There was a message from HaveAHart, a kindergarten teacher who was a newbie bird mama.My little bird had a fright in the classroom and she's perched on the overhead light bar. She seems to be trying to fly to me, bending low and lifting her wings, but she's not taking off. What do I do?He dashed a reply.Call a fireman. It's easier for a bird who doesn't know how to fly to go up, but it's scary to come down. Your bird doesn't have the confidence to fly, so to her, it's like jumping off a cliff.He shut his laptop. There really was nothing he could do. Why did these people never listen until they were in trouble? Clipping wings was like chopping a man's legs off. Rob was sorry he was so grouchy, but he'd bet her bird had other problems too, probably feather-picking, incessant screaming, and other pathological behavior that came from not being able to do what came naturally--fly.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. an exquisitely heartfelt and immensely inspiring story By Shadowplay Christmas Lovebirds is an exquisitely heartfelt and immensely inspiring story of finding the courage to claim a once in a lifetime love. To walk through life never feeling quiet complete or content is a very hard revelation to live with. Happiness feels like it is just beyond our grasp, and a painfully, hollow void slowly begins to grow within our soul. Everyone must realize on their own that only when we take hold of love can we will truly become whole. Fighting for what we want is the only way to prove that we are serious about making a change and never intend on going back.Melisa Hart has had a crush on Rob Reed for as long as she can remember. No other guy has ever touched her heart or her soul as deeply as Rob has. The only problem is that he betrayed her brother Connor years ago and in turn her family cut all ties with him. No matter how much she wants to explore her feelings for him, it just isn’t possible with her overprotective family keeping a close eye on her every move. Things change when Melisa’s pet lovebird Cassie is mistakenly picked up with Rob’s pet lovebird Casey and taken to his vacation home. She quickly discovers where Cassie was taken and follows her only to have her world turned upside down. When the truth of the past is revealed will she be able to forgive and make her dreams come true, or will she walk away with a shattered heart and an empty future?My heart hurt for Rob since his betrayal of Conner’s friendship ruined any chances with Melisa. He waited so long for her to grow up, and then he inadvertently threw his golden opportunity away. He thought for sure that there was no hope for him until a mix-up with their lovebirds brings them together and grants him one more chance to keep her in his life. Melisa is thanking her lucky stars when she is reunited with Rob and given a chance to show him how much he means to her and always has. Rob wants nothing more than to love her with everything in him while allowing her to spread her wings and fly free, and she wants to be removed from her protective cage and allowed to find out who she is while being loved fiercely and having safe and protective arms to fall into.This is such an incredible story that you will not be able to put it down. Rachelle has stolen my heart once again with her epic creativity and imagination. I couldn’t get enough of these wonderful characters, and I loved seeing a mix of characters from her other books. Integrating storylines over the years helps me to have a greater appreciation for each precious character that I discover along the way. I look forward to the next story that Rachelle is creating and formulating with her stunning talent and heart.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Tweeting Praises for this book By Leanna W Tweeting praises for this amazing book. This was a beautiful love story about trust, determination, secrets, mistakes,second chances, playfulness, and love. Melissa Hart, a tough, lonely, sweet woman who teaches kindergarten.Her friend Ella is a great and funny friend. She has a lovebird Cassie that needs help to fly. Melissa is clueless about her bird's needs and enters an online chat about birds. She needs some new fun in her life. She injures her hand horribly and is taken into the hospital and this is when her fun adventures begin. She runs into Rob, a very handsome and familiar ER doctor, who is from her past. This is exciting as she and her family have despised him since he slept with her brother's girlfriend many years ago. Melissa is uncomfortable in the hospital dealing with Rob yet Rob is instantly intrigued by her lack of interest in him. This leads Rob to continuously think about her and desire her even more. But will Melissa stay stubborn and alone? Will she decide to give Rob a chance? Will Rob actually wait for her even though his great looks could land him any perfect woman alive? Will Melissa's bird ever fly?I highly recommend this book.I loved it and read it quickly as I did not want to put it down. I even found myself skipping a couple of meals in order to not have to take a break from reading it. Now that is a sign of an excellent book. Rachelle Ayala, you are a very new author to me but as of now I can honeslty say I am a new loyal fan of yours.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lovely Story By BJ Renczkowski This was my first ready by author Rachelle Ayala and I loved it. What a beautiful, sweet story. The story was about Melisa Hart who always had a crush on her brother’s ex-best friend, Rob Reed. Years ago, Rob did the unthinkable and slept with her brother’s girlfriend and that was the end of the friendship. Years later, Melisa brought her lovebird, Cassie to her kindergarten class on the last day of school before Christmas break. Trying to get the lovebird down from a light, Melisa falls and breaks her hand. While at the ER, she finds out Rob Reed is the doctor who attends to her. She also discovers she still has that crush on him. While at a Christmas Toy Drive, there is a mix up with Melisa’s lovebird which brings her to Rob Reed again and the sparks really fly.They have a wonderful time together and he explains his side of the story or does he? The story continues of what every thinks of Melisa seeing Rob and the reasons why she shouldn’t. It is a great story about how you can’t always believe what you hear. The author brings everything together at the end and since it is a Christmas story, wraps it in a beautiful bow.
