This was a cute story with some really great one-liners. It was short and sweet and just the right kind of story to make me smile and pass the time in between full-length novels.
This is my first read by this author but it made me want to read more about the small town of Bell Harbor. As a Michigander, I just can't help but want to read more.

Kelsey is waiting to board a plane for Hawaii when she learns her grandmother has fallen and broken her leg. And to completely ruin her Christmas spirit her fiancé decides to head off and enjoy Hawaii while she returns to cold and bleak Bell Harbor to look after her gran.
Then when she arrives she runs into an old high-school friend who shows her what a partner should be.
In High-School Drew had a serious crush on Kelsey but he was always to scared to ask her out. Now 10 years later and learning that she is planning to break up with her fiancé he is determined put things right and make up for all the lost years.
Jingle Bell Harbor is quite a hoot. Everyone who reads CR will know the story but honestly it's so funny that you probably won't even notice.

Delicious
Witty, sweet, and steamy. Exactly what I wanted to read, with a few unexpected details. The heroine is delightfully sassy.

Such a treat!
Drew, once known as little Junior, now not so little but broad and handsome, is probably Bell Harbor's most eligible bachelor and can't believe his luck, when his high school dream girl is back, complaining about missing her vacation more than about her inevitable break-up.
Kelsey works for the worlds second largest christmas store, meaning she's practically contracted to be jolly. That's why she wanted to escape christmas by going to Hawaii for a romantic vacation. But things changed and while she has to go back home to Bell Harbor to help her grandma after an accident, her self-absorbed boyfriend without hesitation decided to enjoy their anticipated romantic escape alone and makes her question not only her relationship but also her job and jer life...
What a perfect, cheesy little christmas romance.
The idea of someone sick of christmas is well done here, the bachelor auction is also nothing new but meeting quirky Fontaine again made it a lot of fun. Plus there's Dody, also known as the funniest grandma walking around, Bell Harbor's very own TMZ, the first to deliver the news but rarely having the details right.
Adding his stalker-bachelorette and her dickish boyfriend with his unexpected proposal and the huge misunderstanding this is full of cliche but I loved it. There were some moments of frustration, though. Most of all with her.
A predictable, cheesy romance wrapped in festive atmosphere is just exactly what I want.

Kelsey is playing with Drew’s emotions, going back and forth about whether to dump her boyfriend or not. Not sure the chemistry was there

I have always enjoyed Tracy Brogan's style of writing. She is very funny, & uses current catch-phrases which make it seem like you're listening to your friends talk. I think this is what makes her novella work well. It can be very difficult to create connections to the main character(s) to really root for them, AND move the story along fast enough to end it without it becoming a book.
I was able to read this in one evening (fulfilled a task on my reading challenge - thank you!) and truly enjoyed the experience.
