Review: A Holly Jilly Christmas

 A Holly Jilly Christmas

"My life is nothing like the movies we make at the studio where I work--especially not when it comes to relationships.

Which means that there will be absolutely NO romance between me and Case, the grumpy exec I've had a crush on from our very first not-so-meet-cute.

We're simply two coworkers scouting the town of Sheet Cake, Texas as a location for filming.
That's it.

Though, to be honest, I'm suspicious of why Case came on this trip at all.

Whatever the reason, there will be no Christmas magic, and definitely NO mistletoe kisses.

But when Case actually starts talking to me--gasp!--and reveals the humor and kindness buried beneath his gruff persona, my little crush explodes into something a lot harder to hide.

Except he's harboring secrets of his own.

And I'm starting to wonder if his cagey behavior is because he's planning to take credit for my (admittedly brilliant) idea to make this town our central filming hub.

He's not that kind of man ... right?

All I wanted for Christmas was a promotion, and now I'm falling for the man who might be trying to steal it."

That’s it. I’ve decided. Emma St. Clair is queen of rom-coms. Novella length. Full length novel. If words are being written by this woman, my eyeballs will be reading them!!

I was laughing. Giggling. SWOONING! This story was fan-stinkin’- tastic and I think I’m in love with Case! He was such a fun onion to unpeel! He had so many layers and I loved that he shed them around Jillian. He was so much more than the gruff persona he gave off and they were stinkin’ adorable together!

Jillian was a hoot! I loved that the story was written from her POV because her inner dialogue made me giggle! And I really enjoyed walking through her “destructive thoughts” and how she ACTUALLY talked to Case instead of just shutting down.

I loved this story! It was the most perfect little Christmas addition to this year’s awesome lineup AND we get to be back in Sheet Cake for a bit!

Seriously, do yourself a favor and read a book by Emma St. Clair. This is a GREAT one to start with!
5/5 stars
