Summary:
A brilliant billionaire boss. A crush she can’t shake. A Christmas she’ll never forget.
Ivy Steadman is not in love with her boss. Because first of all, technically speaking, she’s an independent contractor, so he’s not her boss. And second of all, she’s way too professional to fall for someone she works with. Someone it’s her job to sell to the public. Someone who only thinks of her as a colleague, or, at best, a friend. Only a fool would fall for their own marketing like that.
Alec Ames is completely in love with his PR Specialist. He’s tried to keep it professional, but there’s no denying the chemistry between him and Ivy. He thinks she just might feel the same way. There’s really only one way to find out.
His plan? Sweep her off her feet at the big holiday party he’s throwing for all the employees. He’s got the perfect night planned, from the lush and elegant Christmas decor to the string quartet ready with her favorite holiday song. What could possibly go wrong?
Review:
Love Xmas shorts. I just don't have time for super long ones during the holiday season. Eeee.
Ivy is trying to not crush on her boss. Alec also is fighting his feelings for his PR specialist. He's tried to keep it professional, but alas...the chemistry is too much. His plan is to sweep her off her feet at the big holiday party he's throwing for all the employees. What could go wrong?
Cringe, but a cute cringe. Does that make sense? LOL the chemistry was there but man....................all around awkward. I get that Alec wanted to impress her, but at the Christmas Party? Weird.
But they are cute and perfect together. I'm curious to see what is in store for them. I don't think book 1 is about them, but I'm sure we'll see them around and the backlash.
Cute and slightly awkward. Nice quickie read for the holiday.
3 stars.

Review:
Another short one!
Joseph and Dannie were college friends who abandoned their relationship after a couple of nights together. One Christmas Eve, fate gives them a second chance to fight through the hurt and finally be together.
I needed this to be longer. I wanted to maybe see them when they were friends and then fall for each other and then fall apart. I think I would've appreciated them a touch more. I just didn't see it.
In all honesty....they need therapy before getting back together. They have a LOT of issues.
Lots of talking in this one. I would've loved to see more kissing or something. Eh. It was a nice baseline, but I think this really needed more meat and flesh.
2 stars from me.
