ABOUT THE BOOK
MAGGIE
After being dumped last Christmas, I’m taking extreme measures to ensure nothing and no one ruins my happy holidays this time around. I’ll be safely wrapped in a cocoon of kitschy Christmas decor, complete with surrounding winter wonderland at the ultimate holiday mountain cabin. So what if the countless elf figurines make me a little uneasy or if there are a couple hiccups with cabin maintenance?

There’s a bigger problem: the assistant manager happens to be one of (many) teasing classmates from my childhood and my former crush. He keeps showing up to my cabin to fix things. I’m more worried about what he might break….
WES
Here at Crystal Peaks Resort, I’ve got everything I need: tall trees, fresh air, and no cell phone service. This is my happy place, and if I prove to my boss I can handle the job, the management position here will be mine. Everything is falling into place.
Until the newest guest arrives. The quirky cabin she’s in is the bane of my existence, causing issue after issue. But the more I’m there, the more I realize the real obstacle between me and my future plans: proving to my boss I can keep a professional relationship with the guests. Or one guest in particular.
REVIEW
Every book has to have conflict. And it was so nice to see that conflict overcome by simple choices that I would hope most people would make, and not ridiculous, off-the-handle, dramatic assumptions that so many books gravitate towards. This story was about old wounds, old friends, and a fun solo vacation over Christmas. Fun read, very clean story, no faith element. Of the three new contemporary holiday books I read this season, this was my favorite.
