This was a sweet and enchanting story. It is an enemies to lovers Christmas romance, where two rivals at a marketing firm, Rowan and Jeremy, find themselves vying for a promotion by creating a marketing plan for an amusement park. I didn't necessarily like the characters a whole lot but I did like this as a feel-good story. It was nice to lose myself in a book for a couple of hours and this story is perfect for the holiday season.

This is a lovely story. I didn't expect Rowan and Jeremy to act like this. I like how quick paced the book is without making it feel rushed. I like how the story progressed. Jeremy and Rowan have always been in competition but don't want to give in to each other. Then they end up bonding and finding each other company.

The characters are easy to fall in love with as much as their storyline. It's easy to love this book with the holidays coming up. I enjoyed how their relationship blossomed but what makes it flow is the way it takes off. The element of the Christmas spirit, romance and love is beautiful in this read. You won't be disappointed in this beautiful read!

Book Review: The Magic of Christmas
Author: Christi Barth
FIVE STARS
Very cute Christmas story. Co-workers and rivals are sent on a job to create a campaign to save an amusement park. The winner of the campaign will become a new account manager.
Who will make the best impression on the head of the company? Rowan or Jeremy? Will they finally make amends and become friends, or more? Will going to this Christmas land amusement park make them come to terms with the secrets and feeling they have been hiding concerning their jobs and their own personal lives?
This book is really good. Quick read and will keep you engaged.

This is a cute holiday story. We follow along with the two MC as they vie for a advertising campaign. The place is a holiday amusement park and resort. They have many ups and downs and delight in finding their true selves.

I was easily sucked into this story as well as the characters. I love Christmas Funtime stories and this is one. All the crazy festive ideas that get brought to life by the author are magical themselves. Then drop in uptight characters and make them do out of their zone stuff makes this an easy win in my mind.

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is a touching holiday romance with all the ingredients needed to make a for a heart-warming Christmas story. It was fun to curl up with this for a couple of hours and lose myself in the story.
Rowan and Jeremy are both being considered for the same promotion at the advertising company they work for. They are teamed up to come up with a campaign that will resurrect a struggling Christmas themed amusement park. There is a lot to prove, and a lot riding on the outcome. These two set off on their trip as staunch rivals, but things begin to change as they spend more time together. What happens next makes for a fun and romantic read.
I love Christmas themed stories, so it was a done deal as soon as I laid eyes on this book. I could envisage this being made into a wonderful Christmas movie.
My favourite of Christi Barth’s books that I have read so far!

Thank you, Christi Barth!

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth is an enchanting enemy to lover’s romance tale. It is a slow burn, sweet and fun read with witty banter. I enjoyed Christi’s writing style and the setting of the story. Two people after the same promotion, one a workaholic and the other the son of the owner. It is a vivid world Christi has outlined for us and it makes you feel that you are right there with the magic of Christmas. It is a simplistic and easy story for a quiet afternoon read.

If you're looking for something to get you in the Christmas spirit, this is the book for you. I loved that we get to visit Holiday Land and I could see all the details in my head and sounds like such a fun place!
Rowan is a work machine and doesn't allow herself to let loose at the office. When she and Jeremy are paired together as competition and to visit a new place to get marketing ideas, things couldn't seem worse for either of them. But with the magic of the season we get this beautiful and heartfelt story.
I really really enjoyed this book and the characters were relatable, believable and I love a heroine who sticks up for herself. This is a must read, holiday season or not!

This sweet holiday story was just what my weary heart needed in what feels like a heavy season. Barth does a wonderful job putting together this story. Easy to ready, fast paced, relatable characters - this book was a quick read that I loved every page of and put me in the holiday mood. I can’t wait to read it again.

*I received a free copy of this book via Goodreads giveaway. Opinions in the review are my own.*

This is a sweet and light romance story perfect for Christmas. It felt like the book version of a Hallmark movie (and I love Hallmark Christmas movies). I loved that it mainly took place at Holiday Land - a Christmas themed amusement park and resort. I wish Holiday Land actually existed because I want to go!
The story was pretty predictable and there were a few phrases said by the characters that sounded dated or weird, but overall this was a cute story that helped me get even more in the Christmas spirit.
