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 … 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?

A quick enjoyable read.
Know what you are getting: not a long story but the author does an amazing job of filling in all the gaps so that it is not full of holes while also not rushing too much.
I felt that the author had the ability to convey some depth to the personalities of the characters, despite the length of the book, bringing a greater sense of reality to her story.

I realize that it is hard for an author to write characters with depth in a short story. I like stories that I feel invested in. Laurie Baxter has done it well in this story. Without a ton of backstory, I was rooting for Ivy and Alec. I liked both of the characters and felt like I was at the party with them. It was a great short read!

This is a very short and fun story.
It is one big chapter interchanging between the characters Ivy and Alec. We get the chance to feel and see what each of them is thinking. It is set during one evening at a Christmas party, and both of them are trying to hide their feelings.
There are lots of frustrating moments where they keep getting interrupted by other guests whilst trying to declare something important.
The misunderstandings did get a little annoying towards the end, and I was screaming ‘use your words’. However, it was a lovely build-up of anticipation, and I was holding my breath at the very end, wondering what the outcome would be.
Overall it was a very sweet, charming but fittingly awkward love story. It made for a pleasant hour of reading, and I’m glad I took the chance on this when I came across it on Booksprout.

Disclaimer: I’m not a big fan of Billionaire stories. BUT I am a big fan of Laurie Baxter’s writing.
It turns out, thankfully, that one of the protagonists being a billionaire has not all that much to do with the storyline. If he didn’t happen to be a rather newly-minted, self-made rich guy, Alec would probably fall into the “kind-hearted, hot nerd” category of romance heroes – which incidentally is one of my favorites. 😉
Ivy is overthinking so much, she’s not only second-guessing but third- and fourth-guessing every little detail. (Been there, done that. Sans billionaire, though.)
All in all, it’s an quick, entertaining read with some funny and some swoony moments.
This is a very short story. Ivy works for Alec to promote his company. They both have secret feelings for each other. Will they ever confess the truth to each other?

I enjoyed this story! This was short and sweet book. The main characters are Alec and Ivy who are at Alec’s Christmas party. They are celebrating an awesome year with Alec’s company ZephyrTech. You will have to read the story to find out what happens with Alec and Ivy. The plot was good, the characters were interesting, and the conflict can happen. This book is definitely worth a read.

Alec has his own company ZephyrTech which is a big success.
Ivy works for Alec and she is his right hand. They are really good friends, or so they thought.
A short sweet story about two people in love with each other but are afraid to lose the friendship they have developed. It is funny how whenever Alec wants to speak with Ivy somebody interrupts him. It creates a high dose of anticipation which makes you go on reading till the last page.
I liked this short story. Ivy is in love with her “boss”. Alec is in love with his PR specialist Ivy. Neither is aware of how the other feels. Alec decides he will let Ivy know how he feels at his Christmas party and has it all planned out. Things don’t go how he planned…
I’m giving it 4 stars because it ended so abruptly, that I wasn’t prepared.

This is my first book by Laurie Baxter and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a well-written fast-paced Holiday Romance. Alec and Ivy are both attracted to each other but with their work relationship and friendship neither has let on about their feelings. Now it’s the big Christmas party and all glittery and romantic. Alec is determined to let his love know she holds his heart.
This a sweet novella with a side of crush on the boss. Ivy has been the PR rep for ZephyrTech for almost a year working closely with its owner Alec. They clearly having unexpressed feelings for each other but taking a chance is scary. While short, the characters were well developed and the storyline was engaging and evoked all the feels. It was a fun enjoyable read.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength, happiness with a happily ever after. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.
