I liked the authors writing. It flowed from chapter to chapter. Overall, the book was ok. It wasn't the writing that threw me off. I didn't believe that Jeremey and Mckenzie were building a friendship let alone a romantic relationship. Had it been more about their friendship and Mckenzie blossoming into her own confident person, I would have enjoyed it more. There was no spice since both characters were Christian. I found that to be perfect for the tone of the story.

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

Too focused on faith/christianity

Christmas means celebrations and an annual promotion at MacKenzie’s graphic design firm. This year she finds out that she and Jeremy are both up for the same promotion. MacKenzie never thought she would be in the running due to her social anxiety.

Jeremy has things all planned out in his life, and he’s determined to win the promotion. What he didn’t see coming was his attraction for MacKenzie. Now that they are rivals, he can’t stop thinking about her.

‘Tis the season for romance, faith, and humor.

This was a sweet, closed door Christmas romance book with a dash of inta-love. I don’t mind sweet romcoms every now and again, and this one was just that. The plot was entertaining and was full of Christmas cheer. I really enjoyed all the different references and traditions related to Christmas that were incorporated. However, I wasn’t prepared for how religious this one was. While I understand that Christmas is a religious holiday, I just wish that this was more apparent when reading the blurb. MacKenzie’s social anxiety was well done and researched, and very believable. While I typically enjoy more stronger female main characters, I felt MacKenzie was strong in her own right by fighting and working so hard for what she wanted. She also proved that you don’t have to be amazing at everything to be amazing overall.

Thank you so much to @Thindbooks and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a review spot on this tour. All thoughts are my own.
