Complicated
He helps her when he discovers her ex is still close with her family and has lied and told her family that she cheated on him when he in fact is the one that cheated on her. He pretends to propose and the two of them are now fake engaged. They grow closer and sleep together and Kate assumes it's just Damon faking that they are together and he doesn't care about her for real. She finally tells her family the truth and thinks that things will go back to the way they were before the trip but Damon still wants to be with her and when he tells her he loves her and proves it to her by telling her about his past and she finally admits she wants to be with him and they get their Happily Ever After.
This was a cute Christmas book. I love that Damon made up for being an asshole boss the last three years to Kate and the two of them were able to forgive and forget and admit their feelings for one another. I hated Chad and was glad that Kate's family learned the truth about her ex and took Kate's side finally. The steaminess of this book was perfect and the romance was adorable. I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for a fun and steamy holiday read.

This book is everything you want your Christmas romcom to be: fun, funny, sexy, and utterly delectable. From the first pages, I was into the characters and the storyline.
A Very Bossy Christmas is the tale of how two people that seemingly can’t stand each other find that their great dislike for one another may not be dislike after all. Damon Fitzgerald is Kate Flowers’ demanding jerk of a boss, but Kate gives as good as she gets and doesn’t hesitate to put him in his place. At the start, Kate’s car breaks down and is impounded, and she needs to make it home for Christmas. After a hellish day that’s partially Damon’s fault, she goes out for a drink, and he winds up at the same bar. As the liquor flows, Kate divulges her problems of having no car and a horrible ex that has infiltrated her family, and it’s very drunkenly decided that Damon will help her out. By the next morning, Kate has both a hangover and morning-after amnesia when Damon comes to pick her up for the long drive to Kate’s family’s home. He insists, which results in hilarity, and from there they navigate this situation that they’ve gotten themselves into with so much humor and sexiness.
I loved the premise of this story. It’s like a sexy Hallmark movie. It has all the sweetness and playfulness but with plenty of steaminess to it. And what I like so much about that? It’s interspersed throughout the story. I don’t think I ever felt like the story was lacking or like I was waiting on something to happen. It all played out the way it needed to and when it needed to.
Something else I enjoyed about this book was all the detail. From those first pages, I could feel how Kate felt and imagine how the events unfolded in such vivid detail. Kate’s car getting towed in Chicago in the winter? While I know that exact feeling (I too have been towed in Chicago in the bitter winter), the way it’s written you can just feel Kate’s exasperation and desperation. The character details Winter gives are written in such a way that you become immersed in them. Don’t worry though. It’s not so much detail that you’re wondering when she’ll get to the point.
This is the perfect book if you’re looking for a sexy Christmas romcom that will have you equally laughing and swooning.
