Fake Husband for Christmas by Susan Hatler (Christmas Mountain #9)

💙💙💙💙💙

The perfect blend of romance and holiday magic! A wonderful RomCom filled with snowball fights, cookies, and dressing up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

Cal Bradley is definitely the scene-stealer of this story, with his witty charm, clever nicknames, and unfailing devotion to make sure every child has their Christmas wish fulfilled.

Macy Wilcox is completely flustered when she's paired up with Cal to play the holiday Claus couple, with his perpetual tardiness and always showing up at the most random places.

These two were such a delight to watch interact and grow. I found myself smiling so much that my cheeks hurt the next day. This is a must read for anyone looking for a clean romance with a whimsical holiday spirit!

SUMMARY:

When Macy Wilcox agrees to play Mrs. Claus for the children of Christmas Mountain this holiday season, she has a firm idea of what her Mr. Claus should be like: ambitious (how could he not be with a whole world to cover in one night?), logistically-minded, and good at organized list keeping. But when Cal Bradley turns up as Santa, he's the opposite of what she expects.

First, he's late. Second, he comes from straight off the mountain so his fake beard looks windswept and he's wearing ski boots instead of highly polished black boots with gold buckles. And third, Santa is not supposed to have abs like that.

There's trouble at the North Pole from the very start as Macy, the realistic, down-to-earth business owner, and Cal, the eternal optimist and fun-loving kids' ski instructor, disagree on everything from the Naughty and Nice list to the ingredients for the sugar cookies.

Every time Cal promises to deliver a child an extravagant gift, Macy tries to step in and keep things realistic. And every time Macy tries to lower expectations, Cal raises them even higher. Macy believes Cal can't come through on these promises. But the more he spreads his holiday magic, the more she wants to believe in his promises. With a little Christmas magic, Cal might be able to show Macy that the most unpractical, ridiculous, eternally optimistic gift of all is love.

Home for the Holidays by Sara Richardson

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Family is what the holidays are all about! Home for the Holidays is a truly beautiful story about three sisters, struggling with their own personal problems, but brought together again by their aunt.

This book has it all: divorce, infertility, family expectations, drama, comedy, romance, etc. My heart was pulled in so many directions and I didn't want to put the book down once I started reading.

Each of the sisters will draw you in and make you become full invested in their struggle. The characters are so well-written, it's almost as though you're visiting old friends back home.

If you're looking for the perfect book to curl up with - grab your cup of cocoa and a comfy blanket, cuz this is the perfect book to get you in the holiday spirit.

I'll definitely be reading this again closer to Christmas, but I can't recommend it enough. I still smile just thinking about the Buchanan sisters. This is a must-read for any time of year!

SUMMARY:

The Buchanan sisters all share special childhood memories of their Aunt Sassy's beloved Juniper Inn. There, they frolicked in the snow, baked sugar cookies, and celebrated the town's annual Christmas extravaganza. They haven't been back to Colorado in nearly fifteen years, but when their aunt invites them for one last Christmas, they can't say no...

With her ex-husband whisking her children away for the holiday, Dahlia decides it's time to do something for herself. Juniper Springs is just as beautiful as she remembers, but it's also full of surprises -- including the town's handsome doctor, who makes her feel like herself again for the first time in years.

To the outside world, baker Magnolia has the ideal marriage. Only the pain and sorrow of infertility have strained her relationship with her husband, perhaps beyond repair. But a holiday miracle is about to change her life.

After a whirlwind romance, youngest sister Rose is about to be married, but as the wedding draws near, she's unsettled by her fiance's expectations that she become a society wife. Spending Christmas with her family could be a necessary reality check -- or the beginning of a brand-new happily ever after.

Thanks to the strength of their sisterhood, some mistletoe, and the love of their Aunt Sassy, the Buchanan sisters will discover what it is they truly want this Christmas.

Summary:

Sienna Hensley loves everything about the Christmas season, from hanging decorations to the cozy get-togethers with her family. Despite being part of the well-known Bennett family, Sienna is determined to first gather experience before joining their business. Her job at Statham department store is perfect for that. But her new boss, Winston Statham, is going to be a slight problem. Winston is broody, domineering, and sexy as all get out. But mooning over the boss is out of the question, especially since she just went through a break-up.

For Winston Statham, Christmas is just a reminder of the deadline looming ahead this year. Saving the store his parents built is his top priority. At least until he finds his branding manager singing and dancing to carols while hanging twinkling lights in his favorite meeting room.

He can't get the sexy sway of her hips out of his min...or her determination to make him smile. Sienna is smart, hard-working, and her unrestrained honesty makes him instantly trust her with a secret project.

But when he asks her to stay overtime, work isn't the only thing on his mind. Before long, he's willing to do anything for one more kiss, one more night together. Winston falls so hard for Sienna, that he can't imagine ever letting her go.

But with his future up in the air, can he promise her anything more than an unforgettable Christmas season?
