Anything Christmas themed is generally an automatic out for me; my birthday's during the season, my sister died during it, it sucks and I don't like it.

But I love Julie Murphy so I read the first in the series and have been ravenous since. A book that authentically talks about grief and hospice during the holidays? More adventures featuring Wish-They-Were-Real-So-We-Could-Be-Friends Sunny Palmer and Teddie Ray? The return of the North Pole Strippers?! YES YES YES!!!

Come for the Christmas romance, stay for Jack "I'm a young divorcee with a weird job and no friends" Hart and his dog Miss Crumpets, a narcoleptic formerly conservative Christian screen queen, all the Kansas City references you can stand (outside of this novel), the Cat Advisory Council, and tender smut.

I adored this book; Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone have done it again! We finally get to focus on sad boy Isaac, the third member of INK, who has purchased the mansion in Christmas Notch and accidentally on purpose invites Sunny (Bee's best friend) to move in as his roommate after their second one night stand. He needs a muse and she needs somewhere to stay, should be perfect, right? Of course, it's never that simple, no matter how sizzling their bi-for-bi chemistry is. This book is hot, funny and just the campiness we've come to expect, and the characters are endearing, unique, and frustrating, just like real people. Plus, there's a story within a story that develops so beautifully and brought tears to my eyes. I loved it!
