In ‘Holiday With You’ we meet Audrey. Audrey’s awful boss send her to the little town of Winter Valley to acquire a B&B. They have tried to buy the B&B from afar, but nothing seems to work. So now it’s time for Audrey to visit the owner. When Audrey arrives at Winter Valley, everything seems to come right out of a Christmas novel. It’s a charming town, with even more charming people living there. The moment Audrey arrives, she literally bumps into Colin Bradford. Colin is a single dad trying to make the best life possible for his little girl. And when Colin meets funny, slightly weird Audrey he knows what he wants for Christmas.
‘Holiday With You’ is definitely a charming, holiday novel that gives you all the feels. It’s a short novel, and everything definitely happens a little fast.. But I loved it. I love the two main characters Audrey and Colin right from the start. They had instant chemistry, and I definitely was rooting for them.
The little town of Winter Valley really is your picture perfect Christmas town. There’s snow, the people are kind for each other and there is hot chocolate and peppermint mocha’s all around. It’s definitely the sort of town I picture as a Christmas town.
The romance between Audrey and Colin was light, with some mellow steamy scenes which was definitely perfect for this book. And I also loved getting to know a little more about Colin’s siblings. There where a lot of them and I secretly hope there will be more books about them.
‘Holiday With You’ was the first book I read by Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire, and it definitely made me want to read more of them. And I really think this is the perfect holiday read!

I used to not be a huge fan of holiday books but this season I have found a strong love for them. This was my first holiday book of the season and it was perfect. I loved the holiday traditions, the town, and the characters. Audrey and Colin were adorable but they had so much to work through if they wanted to last and I loved watching their story play out. I hope we get to see Colin's brothers get their own story!!
"Holiday with You" by Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire was a delightful story, and IMO it would be perfect source material for a Hallmark or Netflix holiday movie. Main characters Colin and Audrey were both incredibly likeable, and while their relationship moved fast, I had no problem believing in the strength of their feelings for each other. I enjoyed their banter and fiery chemistry, as well as Audrey's sweet relationship with Colin's adorable young daughter, Perry. I had to laugh when Colin described Perry as a "princess with an evil mastermind," but it totally fit her feisty personality.
The mystery surrounding the owner of the B&B Audrey was sent to purchase in Colin's hometown of Winter Valley, Colorado was very intriguing, and I couldn't wait to find out why it seemed as if the entire town was determined to keep it a secret. The authors did a good job of keeping me guessing because when the truth was revealed it was nothing like what I had predicted.
The book's secondary characters, mostly members of Colin's family, were a ton of fun and added a tremendous amount of depth and humor to the story. I particularly enjoyed the way Colin and his siblings teased each other, as well as the way they welcomed Audrey and her mom into the fold.
Overall, "Holiday with You" was a short, sweet story with the perfect amount of steam, and I loved it. I highly recommend this story for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I hope that the authors will consider writing more books together in the future! I'd love to read future stories about Colin's siblings set in the lovely little town of Winter Valley.

This is a good holiday story. I devoured this story
This book was super cute and I'm so happy the authors sent me an ARC copy. I'm glad I decided to pick it up as well. I flew through this book in one sitting and finished within an hour or so.
Audrey has one major task to cross off on her to-do list before the holidays start, and that's to ensure the owner of the Winter Valley Bed & Breakfast sells to Audrey's difficult boss. The owner, Ms Grant has been avoiding Audrey's attempts to contact her. Audrey finds herself on an unplanned dash Colorado from So-Cal to facilitate the deal. Unfortunately, Audrey has a car accident, plowing into a local contractor's car. Fortunately for Audrey, Colin and his brother Morgan (the local panelbeater) manage to tow her car to Winter Valley. Audrey sets about her task with vigour, coming up against roadblock after roadblock in chasing down the elusive Ms Grant. She does manage to form a ... friendship with Colin who hasn't had a close lady friend since his divorce. Cue the violins.

If these are your jam then this one is a winner. With any romance there's always a hurdle to overcome - this one is not a huge one in my opinion which impacted my investment in the story a tad. Maybe it's just me - I'm a drama seeker in my pages but I think romance readers are going to be loving this book this Christmas.
Thank you to Social Butterfly PR for sending me an advanced copy of this lovely book. Side note: the cover is divine!

I think pretty much everyone out there is looking for their Unicorn. Could you imagine if yours crashed into your vehicle? Holiday With You is a super cute, sweet, funny, heart warming holiday romance. There are so many unique and incredible characters.
"I want kids and close family gatherings. I want to laugh and find my way through mistakes with a partner by my side. I want nosy neighbors. And magic." Audrey, Holiday With You.
This book was so much fun to read. It is one you won't want to put down. You will fall in love with so many different characters in this book. My absolute favorite was probably 4 year old Perry. She had so much spunk, and had everyone else wrapped around her finger. This book has a huge loving family, overly nosy small-town neighbors, and an unexpected romance.
I really hope authors Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Clair team up to right more books about some of the other characters in this book. I would love to see each of the Bradford siblings get their own story. But even if that doesn't happen, I truly enjoyed meeting and falling in love with these characters.

This is a sweet and heartwarming holiday romance. I loved how it's centred around Colin's family and how involved they are. And Perry, I don't think you can leave her out. She's just the purest, cutest and precious little girl. This is seriously a wonderful story, your heart would just burst with emotions and swoon over them!
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
Cute, sweet and festive
4 stars
I love Christmas, I love romance novels and I love those sweet and cute Christmas movies. And that’s why I loved this book as it’s all three of those things wrapped in a big festive bow.
Audrey loves her job - it’s her horrible boss that she hates. When that horrible boss demands she head to the small town of Winter Valley in order to buy up the town’s B&B, Audrey can’t object. Even when the task seems futile due to an unknown, absent owner and a town seemingly determined to keep secrets.
Audrey was a great character. I liked her when she felt trapped in her job - even though she liked her work and was good at it; I loved her when she turned up to her flight in a unicorn onesie. I was all in with her when she had to have a business video call - and then got into a car accident - in her unicorn onesie. That’s my kind of girl with my kind of luck, right there!
Colin was the perfect hero for Audrey and for this story. He’s a single father doing all he can to do what’s best for his daughter - and that was endearing as all get out. He was also a kind man and a decent, loyal man. But it was the fact that he blushed that really hit me in the feels. You don’t get a lot of heroes that blush and it was so endearing. Every time he did it I melted a little.
Although their “meet cute” is in the form of a fender bender, from that first meeting, I loved Audrey and Colin together. They had chemistry and you could see they were falling fast and hard for each other. Audrey was the more tentative of the pair - but that’s okay, even if I did think she was overreacting when Colin finally explained everything. But all’s well that ends well.
I said that this book is sweet but I’m using the word ‘sweet’ in its literal sense. There is sex. Oh, it’s not the ‘melt your panties’ kind but neither is the bedroom door completely closed. It was exactly the right level for the book and story. Those Christmas films should take note - this is how to do a nice Christmas story with some naughtiness in the mix.
I debated really hard about what rating to give this book 4 or 5 stars. I did very much enjoy it - and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a small town, Christmas romance - I just felt it bordered on ‘too light’ at times. I certainly didn’t want full-on angst but perhaps it skimmed over some of the deeper emotions. I still feel mean though. I’d give it a solid 4 and a half stars if I could.
If you want to get yourself lost in a magical Christmas story then this is the book for you. I’m off to find out whether there are stories (published or planned) for Colin’s brothers and other residents of the town of Winter Valley. I’d read the hell out of them in a heartbeat.
