Your Christmas Love

Your Christmas Love by Layla Hagen is book 10 of the Bennet Brothers series. Characters from previous books appear in this story, but it is a standalone novel, so you don’t need to listen to those books to follow this story.

Your Christmas Love is a fantastic romance and a great holiday read.
Sienna loves Christmas with her heart and soul. She was quirky, adorable, and I loved her.
Winston is a sexy grump at the start, but he changes into a fun, sweet, loving man throughout the story.
I love their chemistry and connection, how they worked together and had fun.
The steamy scenes were well built and super sexy. I was able to feel the lust and want through the narrator’s voice.

Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell narrated this audiobook, and they did a great job voicing Sienna and Winston. I love their voices, and together they have this unique chemistry. This was easy to listen to, fast-paced, and kept my attention.

A fun, entertaining storyline, well-built, lovable characters, low on drama but high in Christmas cheer and narrated by two top voices is what makes Your Christmas Love a must-listen audiobook.

Boring. Didn’t finish.

Loved this book! It was such a fun read, I will definitely look for more from this author.

Winston is an intense, brilliant, sexy, grump until he met Sienna. She is an adorable Christmas dork totally devoted to her family. From the beginning, their connection sizzles thru the pages.

While Sienna and Winston are the focus of this story, the entire Bennett clan is involved and we get a chance to check in with them again.

This story was wonderfully written. Layla Hagen is master at balancing sweet and romantic with sizzling and sexy.

Sienna Hensley loves Christmas season, but her new boss’s grumpiness is bringing everyone down. She gets to know (and love!) Winston Stratham more as they work late nights together and she finds out that the reason for the broodiness and crabbiness is because he carries weight of the world on his shoulders trying to keep the store open. Will they be able to keep the business alive and get their HEA?

This is one fun, sweet, and sexy office romance with well-written, relatable characters. I love how Sienna pushes back on Winston when he tries to boss her around.

I haven’t read (or listened) to any of the other books in this series, and I like how it didn’t feel like I was missing a part of the story.

Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a great job narrating. Maxine Mitchell does male voices really well!

Your Christmas Love is a contemporary holiday office romance written and recorded in dual first-person POV. It’s a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Just what the doctor ordered. I’ve been in a funk and desperately needing a lighthearted read. Your Christmas Love is just that. It’s sexy and sweet with all our favorite characters.

Sierra and Winston are such a great couple, they are loving and bring out the best in each other. We get to visit the crazy Bennett’s so clearly that’s a plus and we get an awesome story along the way. I absolutely loved this and Sierra has definitely put me in the Christmas mood.

The Perfect Christmas Treat! Winston And Sienna’s Story Is Sweet And Super Sexy With An Infusion Of Christmas Spirit.

Sienna Hensley was orphaned at seventeen; her older sister Victoria became guardian to her and her siblings when their parents died. When Victoria married Christopher Bennett, they all became part of the tightly knit Bennett clan, a family famous for their number one jewelry line and other business ventures. With a failed relationship behind her, Sienna hopes Pippa Bennett-Callahan, notorious for her matchmaking success, will set about putting those skills to use on her.

Sienna, now twenty-five, is a people person. Smart, empathetic, and forever the optimist, she has a passion for life – especially for Christmas! After two years at a previous job, she began work at Statham Stores one year ago as a branding junior. Her superior’s maternity leave has her taking over branding VP duties in the interim, but she quickly proves herself more than capable. She has worked closely with the famously difficult new boss, the cold and distant Mr. Statham, for months via phone on a plan to revamp the online store. Although they argue frequently about the plan, their work is very productive.

Winston Statham, thirty, is impatient, demanding, and brilliant. He is moving from the Seattle office, from which he has worked in the months since he took over his parents’ business, back to San Francisco, Statham’s flagship store and the one he grew up in. He watched his parents run and build their international department store chain in the San Francisco store that once housed their office.

Although Winston worked after college in the banking industry to gain valuable experience and better prepare him to take over the chain, he now regrets not accepting his parents’ offer three years earlier. His parents had retired and left the company under the leadership of his general manager. But since taking over, Winston discovered that the company had struggled those three years, and he isn’t yet certain how much of the damage is permanent. Responsibility for the employees and their livelihood weighs heavily on his shoulders.

When Winston and Sienna meet in person for the first time, they are both surprised to discover instant chemistry. Winston needs to work closely with Sienna on a rebranding campaign to save the store, but still finds himself making excuses to see her. Her happiness is infectious. Meanwhile, Sienna discovers that underneath Winston’s grumpy exterior is a passionate man trying to do right by his employees. They try to resist their insane chemistry, but soon find themselves falling hard. Yet with Statham’s future unknown, they both know that their own futures are in question. The couple eventually earns a well-deserved HEA.

Winston and Sienna’s story is a sweet and super sexy romance set in the Bennett world. Infused with holiday spirit and written with a realistic vibe, it highlights the value of family relationships. The POV alternates between Winston and Sienna. It is well written; my review copy had a few errors that I presume were cleaned up in the released version. The plot is nicely developed given the length. I appreciated that there was no unnecessary drama. The focus remains on the Statham stores, the developing romance, and family. I would have enjoyed it if the story were lengthened and more detail added leading up to the end – because I didn’t want the story to end! The characters are well-defined. Weston and Sienna both feel very real, and their families are complex and delightful. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

Overall Grade:

If you have never read a Layla Hagen book, then you’re missing out on these universes of families that she’s a professional at creating. The Bennett family and their cousins have provided many of her fans/readers entertainment and heartwarming stories as each of the children find love. Her stories run the gamut of romance tropes: second chances, friends-to-lovers, etc. Her newest book, Your Christmas Love, is hitting Kindles right before the holidays.

It follows the romance of Winston and Sienna. Sienna is the sister of Victoria who has married Christopher Bennett. It places us squarely back in the Bennett family adventures. Sienna works for Winston, and they are attracted to each other at first sight. Fighting their attraction and trying to save Winston’s family business are the threads of this story. When challenges arise for them, will they find their happily ever after?

What you should love about Layla Hagen’s Your Christmas Love is the following:

*Winston is this curt, no-nonsense employer, but he has a heart of gold. He protects Sienna in all the ways a hero should. As he draws closer to her, he becomes the type of hero that you swoon for.

*Sienna is the type of heroine who can bring a hero to his knees. She is so strong in her understanding of herself that her ability to push Winston makes her more heroic than him at times in the story. She’s the epitome of strong womanhood.

*The rest of the Bennett clan. This is one of the many reasons why Hagen’s readers continue to read her work. We love revisiting the family members that we’ve fallen in love with. It feels akin to wrapping yourself in blankets on a cold night with a mug of hot chocolate in your hand. We can count on the Bennett family to save the day, leading the hero and heroine to their happy ending. What’s not love about that?

*The happy ending. Every Hagen book ends in a happy ending for the reader. Your Christmas Love is no different. Usually, it’s a decision to be a couple, or it’s a proposal. You’ll have to read this book to find out Winston and Sienna’s happily-ever-after.

If you love a sweet romance with some moments of tension, then you should be reading Layla Hagen. She loves to create these characters who have a few flaws but rely on their family to get them through their troubles. In the end, everyone finds their happiness and love abounds. Your Christmas Love is here just in time for the magic of the holiday season. It will lift your soul and make you sigh in contentment when it’s done.

Sienna knows her new boss is about to descend upon their store and she can’t say she’s thrilled about it. Nervous, yes. Thrilled? Eh. Not exactly. Winston’s not been particularly warm in their emails to date, and she’s worried what affect he’ll have on the company morale. What she certainly was not prepared for was how gorgeous he was, nor how her traitorous body would react to his very nearness. But, she can, and will, resist her new boss because she has better things to worry about than her attraction to him. They need to turn the family department store around before the board decides to do something awful. And come on, it’s Christmas! Too bad Winston appears to be more Scroogy than cheerful Santa.

But, as they start to work together, Sienna sees a different, softer, more vulnerable side of her boss, and suddenly that resistance erodes faster than Santa makes it down the chimney. Could Winston be her Christmas gift this year?

This is absolutely the perfect way to get even the most Grinchy of all Scrooges in the mood for the holidays. It’s sweet, it’s heartwarming, and it’s more than a little sexy. Winston is the perfect hot boss once he drops his hardass demeanor, and Sienna is the perfect person to bring him to his knees. If you like spice with your holiday cheer, I highly suggest you download your own copy of Your Christmas Love today!

“I was not attracted to this man. He was moody and… my boss.”

Your Christmas Love is seriously my favorite book by Layla Hagen to date! I simply could not get enough of this story! It hit all my feel good hallmark Christmas vibes on the head! I have been longing for some more Bennett family and this book delivered just that! It had all my favorite characters and even a few new ones. Sienna and Winston was absolutely dreamy together. They took you on a magical Christmas journey that you want to tell all your friends about. I love office romances and this book is by far one of my new favorites. If I had any complaints it would be that I was by no means ready for it to end. I could have kept reading about these two for many more books! Their chemistry is some of the best I have read. It sizzled from your kindle, while capturing you with it’s passion. Every book this author writes draws me in a little more each time. I can not wait to see what she has in store for us next!

“I needed to claim every inch of her, mark her as mine so she’d never doubt that she belonged to me.”

Sienna was one of those heroines you couldn’t help but love. She was energetic, sassy, and passionate about everything she did. Her character gave off this light, easy feel that kept you enthralled with the story. I also found her character easy to relate too and connect with. Her love for Christmas was contagious and was just what I needed this close to the Holiday season.

“It was impossible to be near him and not be completely consumed by him”

Winston is my favorite of Layla’s hero’s to date. For real y’all, he’s mine. I’m calling dibs now! He was absolutely dreamy and EVERYTHING! I honestly could not think of a more perfect man. Every word out of his mouth oozed charm. I have never swooned so much in my life. I even loved the grumpy side to Winston. Because even at his most crabby his character still somehow managed to be so stinking cute.

“I don’t want to keep you on your toes, I just want to keep you.”
