Just a short & sweet tidbit from me today! This book was laugh out loud funny! It reminded me of Pippa Grant’s antics with the animals. Soo enjoyed a-hole the cat! I’m pretty sure I snorted when I got to his part of the story. The story really sucked me in. It’s definitely romantic comedy gold in my opinion. I laughed a lot and even snorted a few times.The story flows well and there are a lot of dynamics between the main characters and the people closest to them in the story. This kept things very interesting & entertaining! There were plenty of unexpected twists & turns which I appreciated because it gave more depth to the story and made me want to devour the book. In fact, I finished it in one sitting!
Special thanks to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I read a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.
The author has given us characters that we wish were our friends. A wonderful story that pulls on all your emotions. Cierra and Justin are perfect together, as long as she can get past her insecurities. I laughed until I cried at some of the situations this great group of people find themselves in.
What fun!!
A fantastically fun holiday romance that will have you laughing, snorting, fuming and once again believing in the magic of the season.
Cierra is a handful!
A touch snarky, a bit clumsy and a whole lot of heart.
Her character was a balance of ‘sweet girl next door’ and filter-free slightly mischievous BFF.
Always one to keep you on your toes as you can expect the unexpected from her.
Justin was the sexy billionaire filled with marshmallow goodness. Smart, successful, and oh so deliciously tempting.
It was fun watching him lose his heart to Cierra.
The supporting cast is just as addicting. Each one had their own endearing quirk. I found myself enamored with this cast. I do hope we get their stories.
*The copy I read was not the final edit so my star rating is based on the belief final editing was done before release.
I loved every moment of The Ugly Christmas Sweater. Jackie Paxson had me in full on giggles the entire time. It’s been a little while since a book made me giggle and smile so much as this one did. I love the banter between Justin and Cierra. Those two are just so cute together and can not only make you laugh out loud but also fan yourself too. I love Cierra’s friends, parents and her neighbor. To see why you really have to read this one. Justin is sweet and totally swoon worthy. Cierra is awkward and she owns it. If you love Christmas romance books then this is the one to read. It’s funny, cute and hot all at the same time. What can I say other then you really need to read this one. I know this is a book I plan on re-reading over and over again because I couldn’t get enough.
