Best freakin’ Christmas story ever, & I have read a few!! This story was so well written that I couldn’t put it down! Noel Holiday has lost everything, some by accident & some by choice. Sam Stocking is a Marine, just back from an 18 month deployment to Afghanistan. They are two beautiful people who have lost/never had their Christmas spirit. Noels family is Christmas crazy, or maybe just plain CRAZY(trust me when I say this) & Sam grew up in the system, never having a family of his own. Their chance meeting in the airport, changes both of their lives forever. Can they pull off the lie to beat all lies? Can they get her family to believe that he is her boyfriend Logan(she ran away when he proposed)? How do they keep from falling for each other, when neither of them was looking for anything? Read along and enjoy this amazing story, I literally laughed out loud in many of the chapters at the complete dysfunction that is Noels family. Sam is a special kind of guy to not go running for the hills the moment the front door opens! Will they recognize a what a great thing they have going here, or will the past come back & change her mind?
This book is so much fun! I loved it so much I bought the next one immediately.
All of the characters are amazing. They may seem over the top at times but that just adds to the fun and excitement of Christmas.
Noel and Sam (aka Logan) are great. They compliment each other and give a sense of balance that neither one had experienced before. The growing tenderness throughout the story is perfect against the craziness of Noel’s family and their traditions.
A definite Christmas read that will make you laugh, make you cry and appreciate your family.
A seriously fun, borderline insane holiday read!
5 “NO MILK FOR YOU!” stars!
Oh what a fun and hilarious short Christmas story. Once I saw the author post the link on her IG page, I stopped my current read and one-clicked this. I then spent the next hour and half giggling my butt off.
I have to say, although I really enjoyed Noel and Sam (they had a whole hot and insta love thing going on), I think I loved her family the most. I could read a whole book on just them. Noel’s mother Bev, is highly inappropriate. Aunt Bobbie is just fantastic and pretty much drunk most of the time. Her father Reggie, is a huge lover of Christmas lights. I think he had some of the best one-liners in the book.
“Don’t get any funny ideas up in that bedroom, her milk is expired!” Ahhh, so many funnies with the family!
I have to say, Tara Sivec is amazing at the funny and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Once I connected the meaning behind the title, I thought it was clever. The way the Hung is in the title makes me giggle now. If you’re looking for a hot, light and funny Christmas story, then one-click this!
Noel Holiday and Sam Stocking met in an airport where they were stranded, waiting for their flights home for Christmas. Noel was not looking forward to seeing her family since she just lost her job and her relationship ended. They think she will never be happy until she gets married. When Sam heard how she felt, he agreed to go to her parent’s house with her, pretending to be her boyfriend. How hard could that be? He had no idea what he’d signed up for.
Christmas is a very big deal for the Holiday family so the house was lit up like an airport. But that was just the beginning of Sam’s Christmas adventure with Noel’s bizarre family. Sam was a good sport and put up with everything her family did. That was just one of the many reasons Noel fell for him.
This was a terrific story. I liked the meddlesome family who argued a lot but really loved each other.
I highly recommend this fun steamy Christmas book.
