This book reminds me of every Hallmark Christmas movie made.
Grumpy antihero: ✅
The quiet, under appreciated, female main who is obsessed with Christmas, but also let’s everyone walk over her as to not make waves: ✅
The over the top side character who you can’t decide if you love or hate: ✅
Overbearing family: ✅
The evil EX: ✅
It’s a cute, raunchy, holiday read, though at almost 500 pages, you need to be committed to the holiday campiness.

It reminds me of a hallmark film — the chaoticness, the big family, the dog, the family drama. I can see it as a film.
Gracie is adorable and smart, but the author pushes the boundaries of her being a doormat. Her parents are atrocious to her. Everything her sister does wrong is somehow Gracie's fault, which I don't understand. Her parents blame her sister's whorish behaviour on Gracie not being a good role model.
Hudson is a classic, bad-boy hottie, but while I love a spicy scene, it felt like he was just way overboard in playing a "bay boy" role. He was being overtly sexual in front of family, which I don't see how that would ever be possible.
At about 75%-80%, Gracie finally grows a backbone and when she stands up for herself, it's great. There's yelling, there's calling people out on their shit. Fabulous, but I wish we saw more of that throughout the book. It went from doormat behaviour to full-blown standing up for herself entirely.
This book could honestly knock off 150 pages and tighten the story a bit more and I think it would be much better. The spicy scenes could be written a bit better as well. For a virgin, Gracie sure is very sexual in the bedroom.

The main complaints I had with this was that the storyline felt rushed at the end. Groveling when you’ve done what the MMC did is necessary, but it felt incredibly rushed and also a little like the FMC just accepted him back without any thought. I also wished there had been more character development with some of the side characters.
This is the most chaotic book I have ever read. There was so much happening all at once and there was not a good flow. I liked the overall plot idea so I stuck with it, skipping over parts that I didn’t really care about
I laughed so hard.
This book had me laughing from start to finish. There was a few spot where your heart breaks alittle. But over all this is the funniest book I've ever read with a whole lot of spice. Gracie's family reminds me of the family from While you were Sleeping and The Proposal. And throw a dash of 10 Things I Hate About You. This is a book I will be reading again. I hope the siblings well most of them all get their own books especially if the two granny's are in them.

Perfection. I laughed. I cried I laughed so hard. The spice was on point.
This book was witty, and cute

Gracie needs a fake date and just happens to sit next to the perfect guy.
Who also happens to be someone who’s plotting against her

Granny Murray was the star of this shit show. 100% my favorite character with the best one liners!
