The Christmas Pact by Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland

3.0

“The Christmas Pact” was short and sweet and just the thing to get me out of my reading slump.

The premise of this short novella starts with what I think is a meet-cute. Except our girl may not think so. We have 2 coworkers that work in different offices who have the same reversed name.

Kennedy Riley and Riley Kennedy.

Kennedy accidentally gets one of Riley’s emails and that leads to looking him up on social media and eventually meeting at the company Christmas party.

Kennedy propositions Riley to have him join her when she goes for the holidays but she has to join him for his brothers wedding. She agrees and that makes for an interesting few weeks.

I must say, for being so short, I really did enjoy my time with Kennedy and Riley. They had chemistry off the bat and that made things fun and interesting. Their happy ending left me feeling satisfied. I definitely recommend this for a quick read maybe while traveling for the holidays.

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐
