I saw it all…from his Yule log to his jingle balls. At a holiday party, I bumped into my naked sworn enemy. Everyone in my town knows Ronan as the dashing football star. I get it. He’s hot. And he can throw a ball. Big deal. He’s been my nightmare since I was nine. Now he’s a six-foot, drop-dead gorgeous version of the menace who terrorized me.So naturally, he’s my companion to … naturally, he’s my companion to every-single-freaking Christmas event this year. I’m Mrs. Claus in the annual parade. Ronan is Santa.
Our nonstop banter should drive me insane. His cocky attitude should be a huge turn-off. But if there’s one man who can pull off seductive in a Santa suit—it’s Ronan.
Let’s just say, stockings aren’t the only thing hung at his house.
If I can make it through the week without kissing him, it’ll be a Christmas miracle.

This is the story of childhood neighbor enemies Gigi and Ronin. Gigi grew up being tormented, embarrassed, humiliated, and teased by her next door neighbor Ronin. All through her teenage years, he pulled more pranks, and tricks on Gigi. He made her cry, mad, and embarrassed. She hated him, and wanted nothing to do with him.
Now, years later, Gigi returns home for the holidays. However, she just got dumped by her fiance, and has come home to try to forget about it. She comes home to be dragged into helping her mom and next door neighbor set up for the annual Christmas party thrown every year by Ronin’s mom. When she is asked to go to the garage for condensed milk, she ends up seeing Ronan in the bathroom wearing nothing but a smirk. She notices he is no longer a boy, but a full grown man, with everything in the right places! He makes some wise cracks to her, and embarrasses her yet again!
Ronin is now the star quarterback for his college, and comes home for the holiday to rest his Achilles’ tendon so he can continue with his potential career. He may even be chosen for the Pros. When he sees Gigi (Good Girl) staring at him while he is shaving, he notices that Good Girl has filled out in all the right places. He learns that she was dumped by her fiancé, and begins to pursue her in a romantic fashion, but his past catches up with him, and she wants nothing to do with him.
When Gigi’s mom goes away for the weekend, Ronin’s mom makes him try to make up for his previous antics, and keep an eye on her.
Gigi’s mom volunteered her to play Mrs.Claus in the holiday festival, and guess who was volunteered to play Santa? Ronin. She is placed together with Ronin all weekend. She cannot get away from him. She notices he is different than before. He is actually nice for a change. She still thinks that Ronin is still the prankster he once was and tries to get away from him.
Ronin, on the other hand is trying to change, and wants to be with Goid Girl. He keeps sticking out. His Brother Liam ends up playing “matchmaker” and gets them to go on a date. The date works, and when things get steamy, something happens to prevent them from exploring further. Ronin decides to take Gigi away for the weekend so they can be together without any interruptions. When they come back, how can they tell their families that they are now dating, after so much torment before?
Can bitter enemies become more than friends? This is a steamy, funny, refreshing holiday story. A good read!
This book wasn’t my favorite book. The plot was slow
to take off and there was something missing from the characters
until you got about 30% into the book.
Still has good laughs and steam to it.

This was such a fun and entertaining read. Sweet and steamy. Gigi and Ronan have been neighbors for years. They were friends in their younger years until Ronan started teasing her and at times humiliating her. This continued up through high school. Is it really hate he feels for her or is it maybe his subconscious and repressed feeling of something more like love he is unaware of? Maybe Gigi is unaware she has had the same feelings for him? Both are back home for the Christmas holiday. Gigi has recently ended an engagement to a man she realizes was not the one. Now the two are forced together by their moms to help with the festivities in their small town. They soon realize they have feelings for each other and Ronan wonders if Gigi will forgive him for his childish behavior when they were growing up and see that he is not that same foolish boy she knew. Gigi starts to see that Ronan is not the boy she remembered and that he may be the one she was meant to be with. I enjoyed the journey these to go on to get the HEA they were always meant to have. Very well written. I look forward to more great stories from Ms Waltz.

A well written story with nice storyline and plot. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters.
It is a bit to predictable and rushed at times but apart from this it is a nice story. I like the characters most of the time. They are well described and develops nicely through the story.
Two characters who have known each other nearly all their life. He has been the boy next door that has bullied her and made her days the worst. Now they are forced to work together as a part of a christmas arrangement. Can he make it all good again and does she accept it?
An entertaining and enjoyable read.
I LOVED this book. I will not give the synopsis since you can read the blurb and others give more detail but I definitely recommend! The chemistry, sexiness, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things very interesting. I cannot wait to read more by this author. Definitely worth your time!

Another fun story from Vanessa Waltz! I enjoy a good enemies-to-lovers story, and we get that with Ronan and Gigi. They’ve known each other forever and have always had an antagonistic relationship that evidently hasn’t changed even though they’re adults. There were some inconsistencies in the story, but hopefully they were cleared up before the final version went live.
He had been her sworn enemy since she had been nine. He is now a star and he can throw a ball. He is now really handsome but worse still be is Santa to her mrs claus. What will happen? Can she keep his hands off him? See what will happen in the end

Ronan has always had a spot in his heart for Gigi….even when he was an awkward teen teasing her to get her attention. Gigi just thought Ronan was always mean and hated her. Now grown and both in college, they come home for Chistmas. Can they trust each other enough to speak their true feelings and desires?
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Gigi and Ronan. Gigi would like nothing more than to pass out and wake up once Christmas is done. But on no her mother is determined to get her out of the house and living again after her fiance dumped her on the 1st of December. If this isn’t fun enough for her her mother drags her next door to the one place she never wants to be due to the fact that her nemesis Ronan lives there. Ronan can’t believe his luck he hates the holidays but he just had one hot woman starring at him that made him want to rethink the holidays. Can these two find a HEA or will their Christmas pasts be more than they can overcome?
This is an great story. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Vanessa Waltz spins a tale of enemies to lovers. Ronan and Gigi will light up your kindle with their fire. It’s laugh out loud funny. Ronan and Gigi grew up together. They definitely have a love hate relationship going on. It’s told in different Povs, no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a hea. I highly recommend this book. You won’t regret this buy. It’s humorous, sexy, and downright engaging.
