Holiday with You is perfect! It’s sweet & full of swoon worthy moments. The Bradfords are the best family—who wouldn’t want to be a part of them?! Omg Perry is the purest, sweetest little girl...and Colin
Holiday With You felt a little bit like watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, in the way that it was heartwarming and sweet and perfect for Christmas.
Audrey is stuck in Winter Valley trying to acquire a bed and breakfast (not for sale, by the way) that her boss is so adamant Audrey get, and if she doesn’t her job is on the line. So after her minor car crash with Colin, the sparks immediately fly. Hard to resist a woman in a unicorn onesie, Colin.
From there the two are drawn to each other and can’t seem to keep their distance. Colin keeps pulling her into his family’s holiday traditions, and the two tumble into a relationship that neither expected nor were ready for.
Colin’s family and daughter were some standout side characters. Truly, Holiday With Me would not have been as fun of a read without them.
A little bit of angst and conflict contribute to the overall story, and keep it from being too generic or boring.
Holiday With You was a wonderful read for the holidays and made me want to curl up in front of a fireplace with some hot chocolate to celebrate.

I can tell you I'm already in love with Winter Valley and I want to back now! If you're going to read a book for the holiday season make it this one. I stayed up way too late gobbling up this book. I loved all the characters especially Colin's family. They are a hoot! This book at me at Christmas and single dad. Little Perry is so precious. I loved the scenes between her, Audrey, and Colin. They warmed my heart. This a feel good holiday romance that will put you right into the holiday spirit. I must say Audrey's boss is a piece of work and needs a visit from karma pronto. Audrey crashing into Winter Valley is the best thing to happen to her. There is some mystery surrounding Audrey's mission acquiring the B&B. This book has it all; heart, humor, and some heat. I literally couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend this one! I hope it's not too long of a wait to get back to Winter Valley.
This book was enjoyable but I didn’t find myself invested in any of the characters. The major conflict at the end kind of irritated me with how it played out but it was a very sweet story.

This is a classic city girl goes to a small town for work and meets the handy hometown guy. It was alright I guess?
If you love Hallmark movies, small towns, hot single dads, meddling family members, Christmas and nosey neighbors, this book is for you. Audrey's boss is sending her to Winter Valley to find the owner of a B&B and convince her to sell to Audrey's firm otherwise it is implied she won't have a job to come back to. Audrey ends up renting a car and driving to the small town when the car slides on ice and she crashes into Colin Bradford. It just so happens his brother is a mechanic and comes to tow their vehicles. Now Audrey is stuck in Winter Valley until her rental is fixed which gives her plenty of time to find the owner of the Bed and Breakfast, except nobody in town knows who owns it and if they do they are staying tight lipped.
Colin Bradford is a devoted father to his 4 year old daughter Perry and his job. He moved back to Winter Valley to be closer to his family after his divorce three years ago. He normally doesn't date or have any relationships because his main priority is his daughter. When Audrey crashes into him he can't deny he's attracted to her and as the two keep bumping into each other around town he decides maybe acting on their attraction might not be too bad.
As Audrey investigates to figure out how to reach the owner she starts spending time with Colin and his adorable daughter Perry. As she spends more time with his family she can't help but wonder if it's the magic of the town or something real. This was a super cute story that had a great family dynamic between the Bradfords. They teased and gave each other a hard time, but you could tell they loved each other and would do anything for the others. I thought Perry was adorable and while she was a little precocious she had everyone wrapped around her little finger. This is my third book by Graham Claire and it won't be my last. I am excited to read Home with You, which is Morgan, Colin's brothers, book. Morgan gave Colin a lot of trouble and I can't wait to see the other siblings to the same to him.

Holiday With You is a super sweet, feel good holiday romance. A story about finding love when and where you least expect it, and learning to cherish and live in the moment.
Winter Valley is the smallest of small towns, complete with nosy neighbors and a closely guarded secret. It is a magical wonderland, brimming with possibility and the wonders of the season of giving.
Seriously, this book is a Hallmark movie, but with steam.
The Bradford family is the sweetest - even when they argue with one another. They are caring and loving, and I adored how they so easily claimed Audrey as one of theirs.
Holiday With You is a delightful story, filled with humor and love - perfect for those looking for a lift the spirits holiday read!
Side note - I need to know why Audrey's boss was so obsessed with acquiring this B&B!

I would call this a 3.5 Star read really. It's a very sugary sweet Christmas story. Things I did like, I did like the characters a lot. I loved Colin and his daughter. He was determined to do right by her and she was such a little charmer. She knew she had all her uncles and her father wrapped around her little finger. I liked Audrey a lot as well.
Where I struggled a little with this one is that the writing style felt like it skimmed any real development of the relationship between Audrey and Colin. It took advantage of the season and let the atmosphere do most of the work. I was with Audrey at first in how angry she was with Colin for all his lies. They seemed really ridiculous honestly. But then her reactions were overboard as well. Insta-love stories often run into this problem for me. I just don't fully by the relationship.
Still this was cute and a good feel good holiday story. I would read the next book in the series.

I needed to get lost in a cozy story that could surround me with Christmas feels and make me smile. Holiday with You came at the perfect time because Winter Valley is a charming small town with a strong sense of family and holiday spirit.
I don't usually enjoy an insta-love story, but this one is perfect and funny. A week before Christmas, Audrey Reed is sent by her boss to Winter Valley to acquire the local B&B and add it to her company's hotel portfolio. Audrey has always put work first, especially since she and her ex broke up . However, she has no issues working during the Holidays, so her boss' request doesn't come as a surprise.
Let's be clear, Audrey detests her boss. And yet, she puts up with her demands. She literally crashes into Colin Bradford while getting into town. He will show her around as she tries to find the elusive B&B owner. A one-night stand quickly becomes more. Seeing how she falls in love with Colin and his daughter Perry is adorable. Can Winter Valley be the place Audrey is meant to be, or can she go back to LA and continue to go through the motions while working for a woman she hates?
The Bradfords are a fantastic bunch who make this book even more special. I'm excited to read more about them. Overall, Holiday with You is adorable and gives the best feel-good Christmas vibes. The narration by Jacob Morgan and Ava Erickson is pure perfection, adding an extra layer of awesomeness to the story.
