By December first, Ava Grisham is already sick of Christmas. Unfortunately, she has to survive decorating for her boss’s wealthy clients so she can afford to quit after New Year's. Everything is on track for her to start her own design company until she hires a new handyman and all her meticulous plans fall apart. Not only is her future business in danger, but so is her heart. Hunter is talented, strong, and charming, but falling for such a free-and-easy man will only lead to heartbreak.

Hunter Newman loves his single life with no responsibilities, but he’s always there for his family. When his brother loses his job, he drives across the country to help however he can. Then he meets Ava and realizes his brother isn’t the only one who needs help. Ava captivates him with her determination and warm heart, but she’s lost the joy of Christmas. He’s determined to put the sparkle back in her eyes, even if it means risking his heart.

Somewhere between the twinkle lights and candy canes, they’ll discover the magic of the season. But can they find a way to be together?

My Review: 5 Stars
 
If my job was decorating other people's houses for Christmas, I would probably be tired of the holiday, too. Ava is kind of a scrooge and Hunter is determined to change that.
 
No two characters could be more different from each other than Ava and Hunter are, yet they have a connection and chemistry that is undeniable. Ava wants stability and Hunter is anything but stable, but he's such a good person, a good uncle, a hard worker, and too sweet for his own good. It was really hard not to swoon with these two because the more they fought it, the bigger the attraction seemed to be.
 
I also really enjoyed the designing aspects of the story. I don't have a creative bone in my body and I love to hear how other people manage to bring ideas to life in a way that is pure art. And I especially loved the doll house. The little girl in me was dying over that part (in a good, jealous way, of course).
 
This story is a real feel-good book--the stuff that Hallmark Christmas movies are made of--and I just couldn't get enough.
 
Content: mild, swoony romance
