The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston
3.0
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!
