My goodness did this book have ALL the feel good vibes of a Christmas movie. Was it kinda predictable? Yes, as are most Christmas movies. Was it absolutely enjoyable? Also yes! I inhaled this book in less than 24 hours. 

First of all, I really love the main characters. Saira is in a writing slump, and just so happens to go to Santa Claus, Indiana and runs straight into Mr. December, also known as Dorian the super hot chocolate fireman! There was just enough swoon moments, where it did not feel redundant, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to brief meet all the residents in Santa Claus! I don't always love books about authors, who are writing books - it can come off too meta for me - BUT Ms. Charity did it so well, that i have no complaints! 

This is my first book by Ms. Charity and I cannot wait to read another! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to NetGalley, Black Odyssey Media and Charity Shane for the eARC. LOVEDDDD it.
