Audio/Ebook Review: Your Christmas Love (The Bennett Family) by Layla Hagen
The Bennetts are back to chase away the chill and bring a little love to your heart. I love this family and was so glad to catch up with the clan that started my love affair with Layla Hagen books. Your Christmas Love gives a blast from the past, a chance to shine. Sienna Hensley is all grown up and ready to make her mark on the world. Just as she gets ready to make her move, her heart has to get in the way. Mixing business with pleasure was not in the plan. Will she risk her heart or follow her dreams? It felt like no time had passed. I am just as enamored today as I was back when I picked up my first Bennett novel.
So beautiful to get Sienna’s story now when she’s an adult. We’ve meet her when she was a teen when her sister Victoria started dating Christopher Bennett. What an amazing young lady she turned out to be. But with such a loving and fun family she couldn’t have been different. I just love the Bennett clan! The storyline is around Christmas time and of course being November now you get even more into the Christmas spirit. But I can guarantee that you will love it all year around.
Sienna falls in love with her Grinch of a boss and she’s set to make him warmer and nicer towards his employees, Christmas and life in general. And when that girl gets something in her head nothing will stop her. From there it starts a sweet, fun and swoon worthy roller coaster.
I absolutely love this sweet and spicy Christmas romance! Sienna and Winston are so adorable together and simply perfect for each other. Layla Hagen knows just how to whip up all the ingredients together for a totally enjoyable and satisfying love story. Add Christmas to the mix and it’s just perfect! I love how much Sienna loves Christmas, it really got me excited for the holidays. It was so wonderful watching these lovable characters work their way up to being a couple. They have such amazing chemistry and a great balance with each other. I also love the fun and witty banter she and Winston engage in and how much they come to care for each other. They were just perfect in every scene whether they were talking to or loving each other. And lucky for us, we also get lots of the Bennett family in this story too. It’s so incredible how they all come together for each other and help out when needed. Such a wonderful family and a fantastic book!!
Layla Hagen is a new author to me and if I’m honest I was drawn to this book because it’s set in my favourite time of the year the magical holiday season but I need to read more by this author because I loved everything about this book, the plot, the characters and this authors style of writing.
Sienna Hensley is the girl I would love to have as a friend, like me she loves everything about the holiday season and it takes everything she has got to bring her new arrogant boss Winston Statham over to her way of thinking when it comes to the magical season we call Christmas. Winston may be focused on saving the family business but that doesn’t mean he is blind when it comes to his attractive assistant but what does surprise him is the feeling being mutual…..
This is a book with all the feels, it’s magical, it’s romantic, there’s plenty of sizzling chemistry as well as some witty banter and it has a couple I adored. Great read and I’m looking forward to more from this very talented author.
It’s almost the Christmas Season and that means it’s my favorite time of year and one thing to make it even better our Christmas Love Stories! We are back in the Bennett world for Your Christmas Love by Layla Hagen and I couldn’t be happier!
In this story we follow Sienna and Winston, Sienna’s family has been wanting her to join the family business for years but she’s determined to make sure she has the real work experience that she feels like she needs and she’s been doing that by working for Statham department stores and Winston is her boss.
Winston grew up with his parents starting and running Statham department stores unfortunately his parents made the wrong decision in trusting someone and now their original store is under the threat of being shut down.
Winston and Sienna have been working remotely for some time but once they meet in person the sparks are there immediately. Winston is all brooding, grumpy and all about numbers and not parties, meanwhile Sienna is hanging twinkling lights in all of the conference rooms and organizing a company gift exchange. As their friendship continues to grow so does their feelings, while Sienna starts to see maybe he’s not so grinch like after all Winston may be starting to fall for his coworker that may just thaw his grumpy heart.
Your Christmas Love is such a fun, lighthearted and romantic Christmas story! It gives us a great catch up with some of our favorite Bennetts, it has the perfect amount of romance, laugh out loud moments and puts us in that Christmas spirit!

Your Christmas Love by Layla Hagen is a wonderful romantic story for this time of the year or any time. Who doesn’t love a Christmas romance with a big family and all the beauty and love of Christmas. I received an ARC of Your Christmas Love for an honest review and I loved every page of the book and could not put it down. Your Christmas Love is the story of Winston Statham, the CEO of Statham Stores and his VP of Branding Sienna Hensley, whose sister Victoria is married to Christopher Bennett. Sienna is using this job as a stepping stone to one day join Bennett Enterprises. Winston has recently discovered that the man who his parents put in charge three years ago to run Statham Stores has done a horrible job and they are at risk of losing their flagship store in San Francisco. Sienna had been dealing with Winston for months before his arrival in San Francisco, and had already formed an unflattering opinion about him, from dictator to broody boss. Once Sienna lays eyes on Winston, she is smitten with his good looks and body. Winston comes upon Sienna as she is decorating the office space for Christmas with her personal Christmas carol play list, including Santa Baby, playing in a loop. As Winston and Sienna, spend late nights together working on the new branding strategy to save the San Francisco store, their relationship changes as well as Sienna’s opinion of Winston. There are poignant and bittersweet moments, mixed in with some very not sex scenes, and I loved every moment of reading it all. In true Layla Hagen fashion, she throws in that plot twist that changes everything, but does it really. Layla Hagen is an amazing storyteller and I LOVED Your Christmas Love! I love how the book is written in the first person and from the perspective of Sienna and Winston. I love getting into the heads of the characters and knowing what they are thinking and feeling. After too much eggnog for Sienna and some amazing sex between Sienna and Winston, they brainstorm about partnerships, but no company on their list fulfills all of Winston’s wishes. That is until they are invited to a Bennett family dinner. I have not read any of the books in the Bennett family series (that is about to change), but know enough about them from the Connor family series, but I didn’t feel I needed to have read the Bennett family series to understand the Bennett family dynamic and love the book and the family. I will definitely be reading Bennett family series to enjoy all the characters. Who doesn’t love big families and love stories, especially those set at Christmas. Looking for something to get you in the mood for Christmas and brighten your holidays, then Your Christmas Love is definitely a must read for you.
Sienna Hensley loves everything about Christmas. Working at the Stratham department store gives her the opportunity to decorate to her heart’s content. She has been working online and on the phone with her boss Winston Stratham for several months. Winston has decided to move to the chain headquarters and when they meet in person, the sparks fly. Winston is concentrating on reviving the store before the board decides to close it and asks Sienna to work overtime to help him implement new ideas. The relationship heats up and gets a little helping hand from the Bennett family. I loved getting to visit with a lot of the Bennett family that we have all fallen in love with.
I loved this story, it’s totally got me ready to put my tree up for the holidays! 5 stars for this one!
Sienna, being connected to the famous Bennett family, is out to make it on her own, and shes working for Statham stores until she gets enough experience under her belt to move into the “Bennett family business”. With the big wig coming in, she wants to be ready, his emails to her lead her to believe he’s a stick in the mud, not like his parents from what she hears about them. But she didn’t realize how hot Winston would truly be! When she meets him for the first time, she thinks it’s just her that’s attracted to him, but from the way Winston acts, he just might be attracted to her as well!
When these two work close together to save the first Statham store in San Francisco, the one that holds memories for the both of them, will they cross the line and fall for each other? Read along and find out!
I enjoyed this one, and the extended family making their appearances in this make it that much more fun! Grab this one asap!
Winston has come taken over his family’s Department Store in hopes of getting it back on track. The holiday season is a make or break time in retail so hopefully this season will be the best. Sienna has always loved Christmas but is worried the new boss is going to take the joy out of the holiday. Working together turns to sparks which turns into passion. But can Winston start a long term relationship knowing that the ax is about to fall? Can the true meaning of family turn things around just in time for the end of the season? As with all of the other Bennett books, Layla Hagen creates new characters and beautifully written storylines that the readers cannot help but fall in love with. Add in the Christmas flare and it can only be better. Enjoyable read!!

Christmas Story + Bennett Family = Pure Perfection!!!
Those two things are my absolute favorite things to read about in a book. I was so excited to see that Layla Hagen was releasing a christmas novel, but then to find out we would be back in the Bennett Family world….I was beyond thrilled!!!
This book was everything I wanted and so much more. I was not disappointed!! I was just thrilled to be back with the Bennett’s….I have missed this family saga!!!
This story truly put me in the christmas spirit. I thought the storyline was fun, engaging and totally entertaining. There was the perfect mix of sass, humor, love and romance. This book wasn’t filled with a lot of drama. It truly is a heartwarming christmas story. I thought the flow and pace of the story was perfect.
Your Christmas Love is a standalone novel that is built into the Bennett Family Series. It is a holiday full length novel told in Dual POV. It truly is a standalone, you don’t have to read any of the other books in this series to enjoy this story. But let me say this…..you should still read the Bennett Family Series…..it is so good!!!
In this story we follow Sienna and Winston’s journey. I will be honest and say I didn’t remember who Sienna was and how she fit into the Bennett family, but once I looked back and figured out who she was it all clicked in. Sienna is Victoria’s younger sister (Victoria is from Book 5 Your Tempting Love) When we first meet Sienna back in book 5, she is a teenager that her sister has taken over raising since their parents passed away. Now this book is set a couple years later and Sienna is a 25 year old woman determined to make her own way in this world. The Bennett family has been trying to recruit Sienna to work for their family business for years, but she is determined to get the experience she needs and working at Statham department store gives her the perfect opportunity to do that. She loves Christmas and everything to do with it, so she is thrilled to be put in charge of the stores Christmas season. Winston is the son of the owners of Statham stores and has been put in charge of them all now that his parents have retired. When the store in San Francisco is in trouble, Winston moves there and puts a rebranding in place…..with the help of Sienna. So as these two start to work overtime getting things ready for the rebranding and Christmas, they grow closer. Can these two get their HEA?? Read this enjoyable read to find out.
I loved that we got to see the Bennett clan again in this book. They are up to their old tricks and add some comedy to this story. I love when this family gets together, it always gives me the warm fuzzies and puts a HUGE smile on my face.
I would 100% recommend this book to ever romance reader out there. If you love an office romance that focuses around the Christmas season, then this is a book you need to read this year!!!
