Ah, I wanted to finish this before New Year's, but no time!

This is a good and FUN book for what it is and it focuses where it's best in the short span of it:
Christmas ✓
Hot, yet cute guy ✓
Super extra Christmas-sy vibe ✓
Travel to an even better Christmas destination ✓
Hot scene in a church ✓
Quality bantering among sisters ✓
Steamy sex scene ✓

It has all that in a good balance, but what it lacks is reasoning behind Holly's hate. According to my notes, she hates him because his uncle used to wear Christmas ties for all of December while he doesn't and... *checks notes again* because he laughed when she brought reindeer cupcakes in JUNE.

I love some good enemies-to-lovers story, but she is just complaining for nothing. I guess it's the cliche "he's so hot, I can't handle it" kind of thing? If he had done something more, like hating on Christmas or dissing the toy company he's in charge of or something else, we would have some more solid background, but as it stands... it's just a woman screeching in her head for nothing. Good thing her sisters set her straight at the end!

Many points for some of the more... spicy scenes though. Countdown to Di*kmas should be a thing!

Short, easy, spicy Christmas read. 3⭐️
Christmas books always seem to make me cry… but this one is a safe, no tears type of book.
(Definitely could not be a hallmark movie)

This was short, love story with a Christmas theme. Just what I needed!

There were parts in the book that was funny and I was surprised with how fast I connected with the characters. Great writing on that!

The chemistry, characters and smut was well done. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Dickmas," Noel sings under her breath”
.
This book was the cheesiest hallmark movie type book. The main character’s name is Holly Winters with sisters Ginger and Noel. She also LOVES Christmas. The love interest is her boss, Nick Saint-Croix, who owns a toy company. Oh and she hates him lol They are also about to go on a trip together… *wink wink* This book is a short read as it is only 78 pages. It is absolutely hilarious and had me hooked instantly. It is like one of those cute predictably Hallmark movies you can’t wait to watch. If you’re looking for a cute little Christmas romance book then add this one to your list.

Very festive and cute for what it is!! A good little novella to read with hot chocolate when you want to get in the holiday spirit and have run out of options on kindle unlimited.

GAH!! I know I KNOW it's a novella. But I still want more. Thank goodness 2 more books are planned. Nick is amazing. Holly is a hoot. I loved all the Christmas themed 'swear words'. Jackal has to be my favorite. Then you have the hot as hell S.E.X. You have homemade Advent calendars. I love that Jana has characters that craft. Because I believe myself to be a #craftybitch too.

I can tell Ginger's book will be fun. I mean there is BAKING involved.

This was the cutest novella I have probably ever read. I was grinning ear to ear throughout the entirety of this story as I got a front row seat to Holly's quirky insults and overall hate towards her grouch-like boss Nick. There was a shit ton of description in this story, which a times drew me out of the story because, wow, more description than actual dialogue when we only have so many pages to create a connection and get to the horizontal dance with no pants. 

I didn't much care for Holly's constant jumping to conclusions and putting her foot in her ass because Nick's face twitched a certain way so obviously that means that he was using her. However even with those negatives, I still enjoyed the crap out of this story and am excited to see what the other two in the series are like!

This is a cute and funny Christmas novella, with a hint of wanderlust. It's perfect to get into the holiday mood.
