Holiday volunteering and an unlikely romance

Christmas traditions and community service provide the backdrop for this young adult romance. The narrator, who is caring for two girls whose father is deployed, joins them in a charity project—and finds herself working alongside its notably Christmas-averse manager. Their contrasting views of the season shape the central relationship, while the girls’ involvement brings family separation and service into the story. A fluffy dog and a Christmas-tree-selling background add seasonal details to a plot built around the possibility that first impressions can change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in holiday-themed romance
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining romance with volunteering and community service
  • Those looking for a seasonal story involving family separation and caring for children

Book overview

What happens when the Christmas-loving curvy girl is forced to volunteer for a Christmas charity with the grumpiest guy in a town?

 

I'm babysitting two little girls while their mom works and their dad's deployed. Their mom asked me to keep them busy serving others so they don't have time to miss their dad. I'm all for it... until I realize the charity she signed us up for is managed by the Scrooge-iest guy in town.

 

You'd think someone who's grown up selling Christmas trees with a giant, fluffy dog named Bauble would have a little more holiday spirit but no such luck. His parents put him in charge of the project to try boosting his mood.

 

At first, I'm not sure their plan is working, but once I see his gentler side with the girls, I start falling for him, even though I know we're more opposite than peppermint and garlic.

 

As he opens up to me, I have to wonder... Does all the mistletoe in town have my head coming up with make-believe stories that will never come true? Is he being nice just for the girls? Or could he be thawing his heart for me too?
