What is this book about?
I haven’t been home for Christmas in eight years. But that’s about to change. This year, I’m traveling to my small hometown to convince my producer to make me the permanent host of Good Day Denver.
The plan: Charm viewers by sharing my favorite family Christmas traditions, and in turn, get the likes, clicks and shares to land the job. Not the plan: Running into my ex-boyfriend.
In my house.
For Christmas.
But here he is, a guest of my mother, who apparently had more trouble letting go of Max Weber than I did. Unfortunately, he is as handsome and charming and talented and annoying and frustrating and flirty as ever. Even more unfortunately, he seems to have a plan of his own—to convince me to give him a second chance.
Which is not happening.
There’s just one problem—my viewers love him. More than that, they love us. Me and Max. My ex. The boy who broke my heart. The boy I now have to fake flirt with to win over the hearts of my viewers. But it’s not their hearts I’m worried about. . . it’s mine.
My review:
This was a nice Christmas story reminding me of many Hallmark Christmas movies. The conflict between Max and Marin made for some pretty interesting circumstances. I especially liked the Christmas parade which made me laugh out loud. (You need to read it to see what I mean.)
Marin was a hard nut to crack considering her ability to hold a grudge for so long. I bounced back and forth between empathizing with her circumstances and wishing she would get over her past quicker.
Even though Max truly earned Marin’s anger in the past, he worked really hard to make it up to her. I loved how Marin helped him overcome his grief in such a wonderful way.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Sweet romance in a nice theme of forgiveness
What I didn’t like about this book:
Marin’s ability to hold a grudge
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Sweet romance, flawed but redeemable characters, fun holiday traditions, and good theme of forgiveness. This is a standalone story.
