Synopsis

All bets are off when a single-minded photographer and a professional hockey player are forced to spend a week together on his sister’s Christmas tree farm, perfect for fans of Jenny Holiday and Maggie Knox.

Maisie Smart doesn’t look back. Not on the choice she made to be a photographer, and not on the one-night stand she had six months ago. But sleeping with a professional hockey player who bolted the morning after is a whole new level of embarrassing. Now she’s about to spend the week at Tickle Tree Farms with her family this Christmas—and then the universe throws a Grinch in her festive plans.

Nick King is a mess. After a significant injury benches him, he has more time to dwell on his anxieties and the one-night stand he can’t get out of his head. With the holidays around the corner, he figures visiting his sister and nephew at their Christmas tree farm will be a good way to sort himself out. That’s impossible when he learns Maisie is there, still beautiful and justifiably angry about the way he left. But Christmas is the time for second chances, and the forced proximity may help Nick and Maisie unwrap feelings neither of them can walk away from twice.

My Thoughts

If you are needing an extra boost to get into the Christmas spirit, then You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Sophie Sullivan would be just the perfect book for that. While reading this book Sophie really got the Christmas spirit. I have to also say along with the Christmas spirit she was able to have great character development. Both main characters do have their issues but they both were able to work through it and grow from the past and not live in the past.

You Make It Feel Like Christmas really did make the whole time reading it feel like the Holiday season and in a good way. The book is one that is hard to put down, and you will love every moment of it like I did. I am giving this book four stars. The spice in this book add just a hint as it’s getting one chili pepper.

You make It Feel Like Christmas is available wherever you get your books.

I would like to thank St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC Copy of this book. Getting the ARC Copy did not influence my thoughts on the book as they are all my own.
