Holiday Romcom For Readers!

Omg, where do I even start? This book was funny and cute. I really felt like I was watching a hallmark video in my head as I read this one.

The relationship between the main characters was a rivals to lovers story. They battle each other in a Christmas competition to see who has the most Christmas Spirit in their little town of Kringle. But here's the kicker: They both dislike Christmas.

The banter between the two is both sugarplum sweet and ginger snap spicy. 😉 This holiday book will leave you giggling and kicking your feet as you witness these main characters fake their festive funk!

Highly recommend the Audiobook!

Happy Reading! 💚❤️💚❤️💚
