The pacing of these books is getting really off. This was probably my least favorite but I think what was originally recommended to me.

So I loved the first three books in this series last year, and was so excited to hear that there would be three more this year. And this first one for this year blew me away! I adored the main character of this book so much, Maggie. Her love of this town of Reindeer Falls actually made me want to move there myself! Yes, I like the Christmas time of the year, but I’m usually a fan of all the other holidays too. Maggie’s constant adoration of her new hometown really made me think I would love to be a part of such a place myself!
And then Ryan, he was the perfect Grinch to counter Maggie’s Elf, I mean she totally would have been best friends with Will Ferrell’s character Buddy in the movie Elf. (Which might be one of my all time favorite Christmas movies that I can actually watch any time of the year.)
As with any book by Jana Aston, we also got some sexy times as well. Perfect for this little novella. Along with that we got hilarious banter, a favorite line of mine I had to bookmark was:
“Remember to wrap those packages before shoving them down the chimney.”
This was one of Maggie’s friend teasing Maggie and the other friend about their love/hate relationships with the Sheppard brothers that had moved back to town.
I’m still smiling thinking about how much I adored this story and can’t wait to read the next one!

So good!
This series is full of Christmas spirit and all the steamy romance! I love that each book is unique to the couple but adds in a little of the books that came before it so that we can catch up with the other friends.

Cute but dios mío que cheese fue este libro y la tipa all ilusionada y viene el tipo y le rompe el corazón cuando ellos solo estuvieron juntos una semana y ella ya estaba pensando en boda dios mío! La forma de pensar de ella de una vez en la boda me hizo cringe de aquí a china. Bye

Over the top in its cuteness. Tries to get deep with Maggie's sad memories of childhood Christmases, but it falls flat. Don't know how the grumpy guy suddenly changes his tune about Christmas and Reindeer Falls in general...everything is overly implied. I was a bit dumbfounded. But, I still give two stars for Reindeer Falls, because that town is adorable.

I didn't really like this one. It was so over the top and not as good as the first 3 books at all.
