2.75 ⭐ Ugh! I really was expecting something good about this book because I really liked the first 3 books. At first I liked Maggie but like for 3 chapters, then everything was a mess

Reindeer Falls is a town that’s like Christmas on steroids. Over the top and everything joyful and fun about the holiday.
Maggie is a holiday enforcement officer, no-seriously it’s her job. And she’s also a realtor, she grew up without much joy or cheer so she takes her new life in Reindeer Falls very seriously.
She’s adorable and feisty! She’s a Elfin firecracker.
Ryan grew up in the town, moved away to pursue his career in architecture in Chicago. He’s the big city grinch that defies Maggie’s sense of Christmas cheer ordinances.
She also happens to find him very sexy…
It’s an over the top, extremely fun Christmas romance.
I loved it, I love all the the details, music, movies, food, etc.. everything Christmas!
The characters are hysterical and really lovable!
A great novella to get you in the holiday mood.
It sure doesn’t hurt that it is really funny and super steamy.
I love this town and the stories!

'Tis the season

Not gonna lie, Reindeer Falls is a Christmas/Hallmark explosion of awesomeness and cheer. I fell for the town and the people last year with the first book and nothing, no one or any Scrooge will keep me from enjoying them all!!!!

Christmas Cop and the Scrooge are the best way to start this year's Reindeer Falls fun.

This is my first Reindeer Falls novella, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't this. I could not stop laughing the entire time I was reading this. It was so silly and so good all at the same time, but I shouldn't have been so surprised since Jana Aston is really just the queen at steamy romantic comedy. Maggie is the Reindeer Falls holiday enforcer(as well as the town realtor) and Ryan has just come into town after inheriting his uncle's house. Maggie is all things Christmas - to a comical extent and Ryan is a complete grinch about the holiday and all it entails. Following the two of them in their interactions and working through their intense chemistry was just so much fun! Not only that, this novella had some seriously great lines in it. I can't wait to read the rest of the collection!

Reindeer Falls is a special place especially during the holiday season and each of these short stories have been fun, steamy, and entertaining. I was excited to get back there and this story was a fun read too. Maggie is extremely enthusiastic about the holidays, like over the top insane with it so when Ryan shows up being all humbug about it she doesn’t let anything fly. She is a Christmas cop walking around handing out citations to those who are not doing their Christmas duties like decorating, or being cheerful, but she is also the top real estate agent in town and tells Ryan there is no way he can sale his newly inherited house until after the New Year because putting it up for sale during Christmas doesn’t go with the town’s aesthetic. Ryan and Maggie butt heads over her over zealous Christmas cheer and citations, but they are also attracted to each other and can’t help the feelings that get involved. While I really did enjoy this book I was a little Grinch like when it came to Maggie because seriously you’re really going to cite someone for not decorating and they have to pay a fee? If I was Ryan I wouldn’t not only decorate but refuse to sale and pay the fees. There was so many what ifs about it like what if someone couldn’t do it for health reasons, religious, financial? Then she really thought he seduced her just to get out of decorating then to cite him for that to me was kind of insane. So I had to shut my Grinch like logic down and try to go with the flow overlooking how crazy she came off. When I did that then I really got more into it because after all this is fiction and sometimes you just got to roll with it. Overall I really did like Ryan and the storyline, Maggie did irritate me too much but it was cute and I am looking forward to the next ones.

Oh man. First of all— I’m a total sucker for holiday RomComs. And this novella is exactly what I want in a holiday story. It was sweet and sexy and a complete Christmas overload. Maggie is basically crazy over Christmas and Ryan is the perfect reformed Grinch. The twist at the end, and his grand gesture, just…. Perfect. I absolutely devoured this Reindeer Falls addition and cannot wait for the next!
