Synopsis from Goodreads:

For her, Christmas has always been about family, which is why it hurts so much not to have one of her own…

It’s Christmas, the happiest time of the year and everyone around Kandy is pairing off. She should be excited for her friends but another year has gone by and she’s no closer to finding her own happy ending. When an opportunity arises to go after what she wants, Kandy grabs it with both hands.

Parker Jones has been in love with Kandy Cane since he was fifteen. Finally having Kandy’s undivided attention is a dream come true and he knows he has to work quickly to get under her skin and into her heart and stay there. But Kandy has a secret, one that could lead to a different kind of connection than Parker was hoping for.

Happy endings can’t be forced, but if Parker can convince Kandy of his love, they just might have a Christmas with all the trimmings.

My mini-review:

I received this eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way alters my opinion of the work.

There’s only so much conflict and resolution that an author can fit into fifty pages, so the opportunity for development here is limited. If I didn’t know any better… I’d say that the synopsis is longer than the actual story, haha. Nevertheless, I was looking for something quick and cute and full of Christmas, and that’s exactly what this book is. You can expect some holiday spirit, unrequited (but eventually reciprocated) love, and a happy ending.

This book is for the holiday-loving elves who only have a few minutes to spare.
