This is my favorite holiday romance read so far this year!!
Jaded, single dad grinch meets bubbly, Christmas event planner. This story was so well done and I couldn’t help but fall for Finn, Abby and Melody. Finn and Abby’s romance could fall into the instalove category but their connection was so strong and realistic that you won’t even notice.

RATHER UNCONVENIENT.

This was heading towards a strong three star. I wouldn’t say memorable, but I was enjoying the holiday spirit, the single Dad romance was pretty cute and I’m always here for a sunshine/grump trope.
Enter in, the dreaded conflict. We all know they arise each romance read, and sometimes they work out great, other times I turn into a rage monster over the ridiculousness nature of it all. This one was the latter. If a 5 year-old has to tell her Dad he’s being silly because he blew up at the heroine without a good enough reason, something is wrong with that picture. It was laughable and extended the book unnecessarily. Really wish it just had skipped over the conflict and went to the sappy ending.
I liked that the Abby owned her own event business. It was fun to see a different angle to holiday romances with this. Abby and Finn got along together well and I love a cute kid to boot. There’s some goodness here overall, even if things weren’t clicking for me.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: none
- Romance: closed door
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of a grandparent (prior to book, but discussed often), divorce

You know when someone days "it's like a Hallmark movie, but in a book"? Sometimes that means cheesy and predictable. But in A Convenient Christmas, it means atmospheric, comforting and magical.
This grumpy/sunshine story of an event planner who makes Christmas happen for families and businesses and a newly single dad who is not Christmas-ing this year is fun and sweet the whole way through. Finn is determined to Grinch is way through the holidays, but when plans change and he gets to have his 5 year old daughter for Christmas - Abby helps make Christmas magic for both of them. As they create memories for Melody, they also find love.
Sweet books either work for me or they don't. This works so well. If you are a Sarah Adams fan or love the good Hallmark movies, you NEED this in your life.

I loved the characters and story, except the insta-ending kinda ruined it for me. Let’s have an entire relationship in the span of two or three weeks because Christmas.

It was a cute light hearted Christmas romance book. I usually hate the third act breakup but this one was the perfect amount of protective single dad instead of the typical miss communication.
