This is another author that I have never read before, I find so many new ones during the holidays. While I really liked this there was one thing that kept throwing me, that was the fact that words were missing as I was reading and I had to add them or not understand. The story itself is wonderful but the two main characters make my teeth hurt, they were both kind of selfish and smug. The fact that they could do that they were so annoying and still managed to pull me into the story and their lives says a lot.

Holly Fitzgerald makes documentary films for a living and rarely sees her mother. Holly hates Christmas but has consented to spend the holiday with her mother, and the man her mother married after having not seen him for forty years. Holly thinks her mother has gone senile and figures she can use the holiday to break up her mothers marriage, for her own good of course.

Levi Harper is a big time Hollywood agent and the son of Holly’s new step-father. Levi also hates Christmas but is coming to spend time with his father and new wife. Levi also wants to break up the marriage of his father, for his own good. Being married is hard enough without your grown, not living at home children interfering.

This was a book I think will be enjoyed by everyone. I definitely recommend it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
