Event planner Violet Calhoun lives to deck the halls, and her quaint Southern hometown’s fiftieth annual Tinsel Tour will be the event of the season. With a magazine crew on hand to document Peach Grove’s transformation into a winter wonderland, this year’s festivities have got to be the holly-est, jolliest yet. She does not have the time to deal with a Grinch–even a gorgeous one like Brady … Jackson.
Divorce attorney Brady has plans to divest himself of his family’s ancestral mansion and be back at his Atlanta firm by New Year’s. Hanging so much as a wreath on the door is not a part of that plan. Nor is dealing with an annoying–though undeniably adorable–elf.
But Violet is all about making holiday magic happen. As they work together to stage Brady’s historic house, the town grump reveals he’s more sexy than Scrooge. And after some mind-blowing kisses, what starts as a Christmas flirtation starts to feel more like a year-round affair…

This is a wonderfully written, holiday hopeful, love story that will warm the heart and bring a few laughs.
I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher but all thoughts and feelings are my own.
What an absolutely perfect GORGEOUS cover for this holiday read! The cover alone captures the gentle moments that Brady & Vi share once they begin to realize their undeniable attraction to each other! Their story totally embodies all the holiday feel good moments while Vi is busy convincing Brady to partake in the towns Tradition of home tours during his difficult time of grieving & having to sort through his family estate . For me , this felt like a great culmination of my favorite hallmark movies that just happened to be perfectly scripted by the talented Jules Bennett … who always manages to create the perfect characters within authentic situations & wonderful family environments! I’m totally CHRISTMAS ready & happy to received this copy in exchange for my honest review!
