This was a lovely read.
Really sweet and romantic. I thought you could feel the characters falling in love slowly but surely.
Really enjoyed this read. I wouldn't say it was 'christmasy' it has Christmas mentioned in it but its really because they're clearing his house for Christmas that is it.

The Christmas Project’ by Maxine Morrey is an amazing feel-good holiday romance to get over a Christmas hangover. This is an enjoyable, funny story about an organizer hired to help her best friend's brother organize his house (and life) to host Christmas for the family this year. He is gorgeous, grumpy, and rude. She is a strong and a very professional business woman. But she does want to hit him in the face with a snow shovel fairly often at the beginning of the story.

Morrey’s way of writing beautifully draws you in from the beginning and reading this book was like being cocooned in a warm blanket with an indulgent cup of tea (Earl Grey, of course, since the book is set in London!). This gives you all the comfort, all the festive feels and leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

"'My name is Kate Stone.' The name didn't seem to spark any recognition. 'You had an appointment with me for six o'clock this evening.'
He lifted his hand and wiggled his wrist a little until a watch face peeked out enough from his sleeve to see the time.
'It's gone seven.'
'Yes. It is.'
'So why are you still here?'
This is exactly why I hated doing favours for friends."

Really cute, clean, adorable holiday romance set in London. Perfect for fans of Mr. Rochester :)

An utterly lovely seasonal read. The feelings admission part took forever to happen - really close to the end - but the growth of Katie and Michael was just all kinds of great. It's a slow burn romance, you can see where things are going a long way off, but the pace is just right for the pair.

Bought this for .99 and decided to start reading it last night.......hours later, I'm finished. This was the perfect piece of holiday fluff to clear my brain after the depressing novel "American War" that I just finished.

Christmas Project is about Kate, a lonely professional organizer who decides to take on a reluctant client + a rush assignment because his sister, her friend, asks her to. The client turns out to be ultra handsome architect Michael, who is a bit gruff and broken hearted after being ditched by his wife. The story is 100% predictable but it's also sweet and moves along quickly as these two get to know each other as they sort through all the junk in his house.

If you enjoy a wholesome romance this is totally worth the .99 investment as a holiday book.

I thoroughly enjoyed devouring this romantic comedy and the character development in the main couple.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.
