The future always looks brighter at Christmas
While Scarlett Ambrose works her PR magic landing Alaska on the nice Christmas spirit list, her wedding plans and a longing for Arizona’s heat have to wait. But when the wait’s too long will a warm-hearted doctor in town for his own reasons be just the prescription for lifting her cold, Scrooge-like spirit?

My Review: 4.5 Stars

I don't like to be cold and I've always lived in a place that gets winter. Scarlett from Arizona is in Alaska for a time, working on a campaign to help them find their Christmas spirit. I loved the temperature comparisons at the beginning of each chapter and could almost feel the cold seeping in as time draws closer to Christmas. I found it interesting that Scarlett's own holiday spirit was almost as icy as the air outside, but the friendships and relationships that are formed in this cold land warm the heart almost as well as the hot, arid heat of the desert.

As Scroogy as Scarlett is, she is one dedicated, persistent, and loyal lady, which is perfect for getting the job done and doing it well, even at the cost of staying extra time in a place she's not in love with. I enjoyed seeing the ways that Alaska warmed her heart and loved watching Christmas come together.

Of course, the romance was tender, sweet, and gradual. The texts analyzing proposals were great fun and brought hopes and dreams to life. This is a fun story that will bring the Christmas spirit right into your heart.

Content: mild romance (slight cheating, kissing)
