This new author came out swinging, and in my opinion hit the ball out of the park with this sweet Christmas romance.
Ariadne is like the queen of Christmas on her block. Her house is always decked out to impress and she’s never had any kind of competition. At least not any that bear mentioning, until Brendan moves across the street. . . Now it seems every year is a competition to her to get her lights/yard done first and better than her neighbor.
For Brendan all he wanted to do was get his neighbors attention. But after years of trying to up her and get her attention, all he’s gained is her hate and disdain. Now it’s time to try another method…even if that means sneaking into her garage to break all her outside lights…and maybe purchasing the last couple sets so she’s in debt to him.
This was such a cute read that at times had me laughing. I’m impressed with this author so far, and can’t wait to see what she comes out with for Lena…the super secret spy.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book**
Brendan has been watching Ariande since he moved in across the street. When Brendan watched Adriande decorating her house for Christmas, he got into the holiday spirit believing he would form a friend with Ariande, only to find a rival instead.
This year Brendan has a plan in place to finally get Ariande to see him as the man who is going to win her heart, but Ariande is all about Christmas and it is going to take some clever maneuvering to get Ariande to see what is in front of her.
This was a lot of fun. I liked the rivalry and Ariande is a bit clueless when it comes to Brendan. Overall entertaining holiday read.
I totes loved this book. Lol. Ariadne and Brendan were having Christmas Light competitions for 3 years and on that 3rd year, Brendan finally decides to claim what’s his. I loved it! It’s funny, snarky, sneaky and it has spies! I just realize that Heath is in this story! I just read Hitman’s Prey and loved it as well. Great read and an even better HEA! 4.5 Satan Claus, Clinger, Mrs. Claws and Charlie stars****
P.S. Will, we get a story about Laura and her beau??
I LOVED this story. The story is so entertaining and fun, I did a LOT of laughing! Plenty of feels with this one too! The characters were interesting and relatable. Laura NEEDS HER OWN BOOK, PRETTY PLEASE?!?

There was so much in this story that I loved. Ariadne and Brendan were awesome together. I loved how supportive and sweet Brendan was with Ariadne. Brendan admitting the truth behind his decorating made me happy as did Ariadne’s reaction to his confession. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book! Or listening to it because that was great too!
I can’t even begun to tell you what an awesomely hilarious read this story was. New author for me and one who I’ll be one clicking, she delivers a witty and laugh out loud read.
It’s war that’s what it is Ariadne declares as she spies out her window watching his house. And the he? Brendan her arch nemesis and the bane of her existence since he moved in. It’s not a competition that’s what she silently tells herself but damn this man and his Christmas decorations.
Ariadne lives alone, content in her little world. She rarely ventures out of her house. Christmas is her thing and decorating her home is a labour of love. But when her neighbor starts decorating his house also she takes it personally.
When Brendon first spotted his little neighbor he fell in that first glimpse but trying to get her attention is proving difficult. If decorative decorations are the answer he’ll go all out to bring her out.
From here we laugh. We smile, we nod and cheer in agreement. And the chemistry between our leads? OMG someone call the fire brigade because these two need to cool down.
You need to one click this read it is AWESOME!
I’m just loving everything that MINK writes! This was the first story of hers that I read, and over the next week I binged on everything she’s written! This Christmas story is a wonderful read, fun and sexy, great for anytime of year not just the Holidays. Brendan is a bad boy, a charmer, and obsessed with his quirky neighbor. Ariadne is slightly obsessive, a bit naive, utterly sweet, and infuriated by her neighbor. Brendan and Ariadne are an eccentric couple, their romance unusual. Loved this book!
This was a new to me author. I really enjoyed this Christmas book. Loved the adorable H/h and their cats. Just the right amount of Alpha in Brendan and just the right amount of quirkiness in Ariadne.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
I listened to the majority of this book on Read Me Romance and it was adorable and steamy and everything Christmas.
Loved this wonderfully fun story!!
This is a great holiday story and has wonderful characters. Ariadne is always working to have the best Christmas light display and every year she goes all out. But the last couple of years her across the street neighbor, Brendan, has been trying to out do her to get her attention. He’s infatuated with her and he wants her to be his, but he also has some complications when it comes to his job. This is a laugh out loud, wonderfully festive read and I highly recommend it!
This was a sweet romance. Ariadne and Brendan live across the street from each other. Christmas is her favorite time of the year and she decorates every year. Brendan has loved her from afar and every time he tried to talk to her her social anxiety got in the way. So he decides to start decorating for Christmas as well. She turns it into a competition. Who will win? Read to find out.

Tagline: “This Christmas is Lit.” Published 12/4/19.
Awkward, socially inept heroine who obsesses about crafts and Christmas lights. Single-minded hero who can cook. These neighbors and unlikely love interests get off to a good start with their holiday light battles, but the resolution doesn’t quite live up to the setup. Still enjoyed it. Also included: enigmatic besties, randy cats, and knitting mischief.
