Holiday with You is absolutely heartwarming and magical. It is exactly what you want from a holiday romance. I adored these characters and I loved their story. Claudia Burgoa is a favorite of mine, but I am new to Graham Claire. I will definitely be reading more from them. These two were definitely a great writing pair and I hope to read more from them together. I fell so in love with this story and I did not want to put it down. I was held to the pages from the first page and I look forward to more from both authors.

This was a cute little Christmas story, and I liked it a lot. The main characters are funny, but the supporting cast was great, too.

Audrey works for a b!tch, with a capital B. And she has to try to secure this B&B for the hotel chain she works for. She wrecks her car into Colin on her way there, from LA to some little snowy mountain town in Colorado. And the insta-love connection begins. He's a single dad, and Perry steals the story. She's hilarious.

Cue the typical 3rd-act breakup, but it ends with a perfect HEA.

3.75 rounded up with a 3.75 on the spice as well.

Holiday with You
By: Claudia Burgoa, Grahame Claire
Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Ava Erickson
Series: Winter Valley, Book 1

What a wonderful escape into a small town! I loved Audrey and Colin's story! Audrey has come to Winter Valley to secure the purchase of a bed and breakfast. Digging her heels in, she is going to find the owner and make the deal, otherwise her job will be on the line. Colin sees her and it's the first time in years he is remotely attracted to a woman. While the chemistry is hot, he is hesitant for more. She wants something that he will do whatever it takes to keep a secret. As Audrey stays and finds herself falling for this man, his daughter and family, she has to face some reality. Stay? Find the owner? Keep her job? Go back to the city? So much is riding on this. It's swoony and warm, the family is amazing and the story is a wonderful heart warmer!

And who better to tell it to us by Jacob Morgan and Ava Erickson? These two pulled me in, kept me riveted and make me want to visit Winter Valley again! Perfect casting for this holiday romance.

Holiday with You is a delight. Perry is a show stopping, extra sparkling diamond- I mean fairy. This pint sized pixie packs quite the wallop. With her big heart, kind spirit, and utter adorablenss, there's no way a reader will make it out of Winter Valley without a new friend. Add in her crazy uncles, teasing aunts, and the rest of this picturesque town and you will never want to leave.

Did I mention the eye candy!?! How did I forget the Bradford hotness? (Maybe I didn't really want to share?!) Whether you think its only a quick trip or a drive through, you will learn the Winter Valley is forever.

A sweet holiday romance with one of my favorite tropes, the single dad.

I liked the whole sense of family that Audrey embraced as well as her mother. I did understand Audrey's feelings to a point. I was surprised she hung onto her anger as long as she did. Especially since her mother seemed to get over it, and she valued her mother's opinion.

I did like how well Audrey got along with Colin's family. I liked that the book was low angst, and appreciated the HEA.

A very enjoyable holiday read.

A wonderful story of family, love and a bit of magic.

I adored Perry!

Holiday With You is the first book in the Winter Valley series by Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire. The book was short, but the pacing was perfect, and the plot was developed. I loved meeting the Bradford family and I always love a small-town romance. I was hooked from the beginning and laughing all the way through. The witty dialogue, charming characters, family drama, and holiday cheer were perfect to start off the holidays. This is a book you will want to cuddle up with on a cold day with some hot chocolate.

Sweet and light.
Perfect Christmas Romance.
Single Dad.
Combination= Perfection.

I loved this book by Grahame Clair, A new author to me and Claudia Y. Burgoa, a personal favorite.
Winter Valley is a slow and sleepy town. Audrey must go there right before Christmas to secure the town b&b for her evil boss, Aurora. She is on the hunt for the owner, Ms. Grant. Upon arrival, Audrey plows into Colin, a sexy single dad with her rental and must stay in town longer than planned. The two feel an instant attraction and story takes off from there.
This had just the right amount of sweet with much needed sexy scenes to complete me. Colin was gorgeous, and the perfect single dad. Audrey was quirky and fun to get to know.
Pick this up for a fun, sweet and sexy winter romance.

This was a cute, quick read! I'm all about the holiday romances, a la Hallmark, and Holiday With You fit that bill! I loved Audrey and Colin, but little Perry just stole the whole book! I can't wait to read more in this series!

Audrey and Colin have such a cute little holiday romance. Colin's family are the most important part of his life, especially his daughter. He never expected to come across Audrey, a city girl on the prowl for her boss to buy a hotel. A hotel where the whole town of 7 people likes to keep the owner a secret.

Holiday With You doesn't have a lot of spice at all but it is super short and so festive. The family really make this a cosy read and Audrey being so involved with Colin's daughter adds to the story. This doesn't have a typical story arc which surprised me and I was so intrigued with how it would turn out. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
