Carla is dared to give her boss a lap dance and after too much tequila she does and he immediately becomes enamored by the 'Christmas fairy'. He wants more time with her but thinks she is the Christmas Gram sent by his brother when it turns out she's not and he offended her by thinking that the two of them discover they are snowed in the office for the foreseeable future. The two end up sleeping together again and Carla ends up thinking that she's just 'fun' for Oliver and that things will not last. She leaves and he is upset that she doesn't come back to see him January 2nd like she promised. Luckily he tracks her down and the two work things out.

This book was definitely an insta-love story and I found the two characters slightly amusing but I didn't felt like they changed a lot during the story. Carla was quick to snap judgments and jumping to conclusions when it came to Oliver and she did so a few times in the entirety of the book. While Oliver was your typical playboy boss who didn't want anything to do with relationships until he met Carla. This is a quick holiday read and starts off fun but gets a little slower for my liking as the book goes on.
